This provides a key=val frontend to define keys for expkv. It is generic code and only requires expkv for its parsing. There is a LaTeX package expkv-def.sty included to play nice on LaTeX's package loading system, but that package is not needed and does not provide more functionality than the generic code in expkv-def.tex.

Building expkv-def

The only place where version numbers and dates are guaranteed to be correct in the repository is in the l3build configuration file build.lua. If it is important to you that the files created have the correct version and date, you should run l3build tag before any other build-related task.

expkv-def utilizes the l3build system. You can run l3build unpack to extract the code files expkv-def.tex and expkv-def.sty into the directory build/unpacked/. If you want to build the documentation run l3build doc, the resulting PDF will be in the main directory. Running l3build install will put expkv-def.tex and expkv-def.sty in your TEXMFHOME, l3build uninstall will remove them. l3build should be contained in any recent LaTeX installation.

You can run the checks from the folder testfiles/ by running l3build check to test whether the version you got has any regressions.

Of course you can also build everything manually. pdftex expkv-def.dtx will generate the code files, pdflatex expkv-def.dtx will create the documentation, but you'll have to run that at least twice, and if you want an index you'll also have to run makeindex -s gind.ist -o expkv-def.ind expkv-def.idx and then rerun pdflatex. Building the files manually will create quite a few auxiliary files in the main directory.
