The tcolorbox package

Libraries

24 Library xparse

The library is loaded by a package option or inside the preamble by:

This loads the package xparse [Project 2024].

Note that up to version 5.0.2 this library contained code which needed the xparse package. Since nowadays this package has become basically a part of the kernel, the code of the library was migrated to other parts of the tcolorbox package. So, the remaining library is nearly a stub which only loads xparse.

Instead of including the xparse library, it is recommended to include the xparse package directly, if really needed (the kernel contains essentially everything needed). The library is kept for compatibility.
