</span>I tried to provide a quick example for almost every feature I mention.<br>
Could you elaborate a bit? Do you think it needs more document examples,<br>
instead of the small snippets it has now? I'm not sure how I'd structure that<br>
offhand, but I'm curious what you have in mind.<br>

<br>
</span>Unless I'm mistaken, XeTeX also supports character protrusion.<br>
It's certainly not as... prominent as font expansion, but it is helpful.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to write something that isn't just a "how to" guide, but also a bit<br>
of a sales pitch for what sets LaTeX apart from Word, LibreOffice, etc.,<br>
Microtypography seems worth mentioning for a page or two for this reason.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
