I believe the "user interface" to LaTeX3 has not yet been thoroughly researched. This is as good as it gets, as far as I'm aware: However, a lot of work has been done on the underlying programming interface: I'd like to see a more modular, CSS-lile, interface to most LaTeX objects, from section headings to inserting figures. But I'll have to finish my PhD before I even start to experiment... For example: (just off the top of my head) \section[ label=sec:title, short-name={This is the toc title}, mark-name={This is the title in the header}, numbered=true|false, in-toc=true|false, ... ]{This is the title} \insertgraphic[ label=fig:pic, display=float|block|inline, float=htbp, halign=l|r|c, caption={This is the caption}, short-caption={Caption in LoF}, ... ]{mypic.pdf} \begin{table}[ label=... display=float|long|block... caption=... short-caption=... column-setup={@{}ccc@{}} row-setup={ 1>{\toprule} 1l{\bfseries} 2>{\midrule} -1<{\bottomrule} } cell-sep={,}, row-sep={;} ] Bold , Header , Row ; 1 , 2 , 3 ; 4 , 5 , 6 ; \end{table} Will --Apple-Mail-1-734738696 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=smime.p7s Content-Type: application/pkcs7-signature; name=smime.p7s Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 MIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAqCAMIACAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMIAGCSqGSIb3DQEHAQAAoIIGITCCAtow ggJDoAMCAQICEDC1OgtYuc79Ry0eIxzNnOUwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkEx JTAjBgNVBAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQ ZXJzb25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMB4XDTA3MDkwMTEwNDA0MFoXDTA4MDgzMTEwNDA0 MFowQjEfMB0GA1UEAxMWVGhhd3RlIEZyZWVtYWlsIE1lbWJlcjEfMB0GCSqGSIb3DQEJARYQd3Nw cjgxQGdtYWlsLmNvbTCCASIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADggEPADCCAQoCggEBAObV0whQrOhb9IAE h8h/Kq1ZJVUme8DpDQycq3ZfSV3dTQCKz8AnQpZ6B254GLEGLKHAf+3NT6Mhh+ZeM0ChnVXlUN7L lj81aJaeKNPzvTqFsZGzO3qDSyEzu9rTZrsMtb8ybUJ/rcq0oTD+5jXg8tj5TYSzzVxFv9fp65+Z adV6Q6JPKmAHG8dYdxJpu6gt+Ardkz9e/Giq9rzmfnXsMSHyGBIhkDBc/mrZLp46kvthTdWM5pj6 NV1mePApqyMtjwfzJGmiJTz3XsgHgosMMEctAw1/6iXN4HzMwMYWxA7uV32C+DZf/dwD0I9gcR8l egnI5uEkcSdxqz/u8xJ8BJMCAwEAAaMtMCswGwYDVR0RBBQwEoEQd3NwcjgxQGdtYWlsLmNvbTAM BgNVHRMBAf8EAjAAMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAA4GBALieYZi0JG7akMGOdexdGV2fHCipMOwbgNs9 wSEY7iY0X7DrdjCuvQQHJOS6CC+G4Tom7l7n7PGr8Kt59ZjssTPwHmXxPjH60DKnrkmtllavF+O+ +aaYjynsTx4oRK6honpQcR5oBWTcJgA3R3YhkDfc1dBmQs9BY4I/gdkzG6V2MIIDPzCCAqigAwIB AgIBDTANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADCB0TELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExFTATBgNVBAgTDFdlc3Rlcm4gQ2Fw ZTESMBAGA1UEBxMJQ2FwZSBUb3duMRowGAYDVQQKExFUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGluZzEoMCYGA1UE CxMfQ2VydGlmaWNhdGlvbiBTZXJ2aWNlcyBEaXZpc2lvbjEkMCIGA1UEAxMbVGhhd3RlIFBlcnNv bmFsIEZyZWVtYWlsIENBMSswKQYJKoZIhvcNAQkBFhxwZXJzb25hbC1mcmVlbWFpbEB0aGF3dGUu Y29tMB4XDTAzMDcxNzAwMDAwMFoXDTEzMDcxNjIzNTk1OVowYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAjBgNV BAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJzb25h bCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBMIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDEpjxVc1X7 TrnKmVoeaMB1BHCd3+n/ox7svc31W/Iadr1/DDph8r9RzgHU5VAKMNcCY1osiRVwjt3J8CuFWqo/ cVbLrzwLB+fxH5E2JCoTzyvV84J3PQO+K/67GD4Hv0CAAmTXp6a7n2XRxSpUhQ9IBH+nttE8YQRA HmQZcmC3+wIDAQABo4GUMIGRMBIGA1UdEwEB/wQIMAYBAf8CAQAwQwYDVR0fBDwwOjA4oDagNIYy aHR0cDovL2NybC50aGF3dGUuY29tL1RoYXd0ZVBlcnNvbmFsRnJlZW1haWxDQS5jcmwwCwYDVR0P BAQDAgEGMCkGA1UdEQQiMCCkHjAcMRowGAYDVQQDExFQcml2YXRlTGFiZWwyLTEzODANBgkqhkiG 9w0BAQUFAAOBgQBIjNFQg+oLLswNo2asZw9/r6y+whehQ5aUnX9MIbj4Nh+qLZ82L8D0HFAgk3A8 /a3hYWLD2ToZfoSxmRsAxRoLgnSeJVCUYsfbJ3FXJY3dqZw5jowgT2Vfldr394fWxghOrvbqNOUQ Gls1TXfjViF4gtwhGTXeJLHTHUb/XV9lTzGCAxAwggMMAgEBMHYwYjELMAkGA1UEBhMCWkExJTAj BgNVBAoTHFRoYXd0ZSBDb25zdWx0aW5nIChQdHkpIEx0ZC4xLDAqBgNVBAMTI1RoYXd0ZSBQZXJz b25hbCBGcmVlbWFpbCBJc3N1aW5nIENBAhAwtToLWLnO/UctHiMczZzlMAkGBSsOAwIaBQCgggFv MBgGCSqGSIb3DQEJAzELBgkqhkiG9w0BBwEwHAYJKoZIhvcNAQkFMQ8XDTA4MDMyODAzMzMyNVow IwYJKoZIhvcNAQkEMRYEFI611gUDQBq2uwmTRqhKergNjq9pMIGFBgkrBgEEAYI3EAQxeDB2MGIx CzAJBgNVBAYTAlpBMSUwIwYDVQQKExxUaGF3dGUgQ29uc3VsdGluZyAoUHR5KSBMdGQuMSwwKgYD VQQDEyNUaGF3dGUgUGVyc29uYWwgRnJlZW1haWwgSXNzdWluZyBDQQIQMLU6C1i5zv1HLR4jHM2c 5TCBhwYLKoZIhvcNAQkQAgsxeKB2MGIxCzAJBgNVBAYTAlpBMSUwIwYDVQQKExxUaGF3dGUgQ29u c3VsdGluZyAoUHR5KSBMdGQuMSwwKgYDVQQDEyNUaGF3dGUgUGVyc29uYWwgRnJlZW1haWwgSXNz dWluZyBDQQIQMLU6C1i5zv1HLR4jHM2c5TANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCAQB9mlIz0WlqxxY+dsuq tcCBMyt6xT8zuf8+F8eYrAvDCv6yRG7abb/UiWtJTnJv4vOvAuSaqoVyDOTTv2d8Cj9NaI2ZSkSo BNlqpD7EPmoeYnetsPWCU76BZ1qvMhYnrWkIJcm19wt/U6DMONTZgec/kfo1Y5dSdJvlM7+fnFoL dMA+bpYTT5mkvLTnVxPN4p7XGKEAf6SWv1KwlpVKcnsWT7AWN6mU4a881xipfYEPeLHAUAqW3fgI ubWT02vZipLuEfvRpbwLszfVBB7fp0+XNr2kGvpKuRMmV0JQMDhpeL9jV9f8Y9nY52wuCmpNtzMR dIUfDjZ7D9hq+WqD3zjVAAAAAAAA --Apple-Mail-1-734738696--
