I had historically not bothered to do so (really, I first did not know better and then never got around to make the switch) 2. I likely need some minor changes to the metadata file format For context: My LaTeX package creates forms for Optical Mark Recognition (e.g. multiple choice questions). The questions and positional information for checkboxes is written into a Metadata file allowing automatic processing using the python part of the project. I currently expect that I will need a few more minor changes to the Metadata file format to add support for RTL languages[1]. Once I define the metadata file format (and possibly the package itself) as sufficiently stable, then I would like to upload it to CTAN. I do think that the package can be useful even without the python part of SDAPS. > That said: if a user can install your package, hopefully they can also > install l3kernel/l3packages/l3experimental. I would prefer if people could use LaTeX as shipped with their favourite Linux distribution … Benjamin [1] To be exact, in RTL mode some items on a single line are placed on the page from left to right. This means that the positional information of the checkboxes ends may end up in reverse order in the metadata file right now. The solution is likely to just add another counter which will allow the python code to sort the metdata again.
