THE XLTXTRA PACKAGE v0.5e
This package was previous used to provide a number of small
features that are useful for XeLaTeX. As of fontspec v2, many
of these have now been incorporated into that package.
This package therefore no longer does as much as it used to,
but is still provided for backwards compatibility.
- Loads fontspec automatically. fontspec now loads
Ross Moore's xunicode internally.
- Loads Andrew Moschou's metalogo package for \XeTeX
and \XeLaTeX logos.
- Loads the realscripts package to obtain "real" subscript
and superscript glyphs in \textsuperscript etc.,
including in footnotes.
- \showhyphens is redefined so it now works to some degree.
- Defines the dubiously useful commands
\vfrac - for vulgar fractions with fontspec
\namedglyph - to access font glyphs by name
For more information see the documentation xltxtra.pdf.

xltxtra – "Extras" for LaTeX users of X∃TeX
The package loads the fixltx2e
package from the LaTeX distribution, and etex.sty from
the e-TeX distribution.
The package then patches the \- (discretionary hyphen
command) to use the current hyphen character (which may be
different from than the default, which is the character at the
ASCII hyphen slot), and loads the
realscripts to patch the
\textsuperscript command (from the LaTeX kernel) and the
\textsubscript command (from the fixltx2e package).
The package is loaded by the
fontspec package, so that it should
not ordinarily be necessary to load it explicitly.
The package relies on the metalogo
package for typesetting the X∃TeX and X∃LaTeX logos.
