# xskak --- An extention to the package skak for chess typesetting Packageversion: 1.5 Packagedate: 2019-06-23 Ulrike Fischer 2006-2019 ## LICENSE LaTeX Project Public License ## CONTENTS AND INSTALLATION - README.md (this file) - xskak.dtx - xskak.ins - xskak.tex, xskak.pdf (the main documentation file) - some files needed to typeset the documentation Run TeX/LaTeX on xskak.ins to unpack the dtx. Put the three extracted files in tex/latex/xskak/. The dtx-file doesn't contain any documentation. So running LaTeX on it makes no sense! Put the other files in doc/latex/xskak/ Update the filename database ## DOCUMENTATION xskak.pdf. ## DESCRIPTION The main point of xskak is to save informations about a chess game for later use e.g. to loop through a game to make an animated board. It also extend the input that the parsing commands can handle and offer an interface to define and switch between indefinite levels of styles. ## REQUIREMENTS xskak uses some primitives of e\TeX. It needs version 1.4 of skak, a recent version of chessfss and xkeyval, version 1.5 of chessboard (which in turns needs xifthen and pgf).
