fancybreak [1] is at the moment the only module with all these things but the other will follow
Does it make sense to copy the definition of mult-aux.mkiv to mkii? Everything other than \definenamespace should work in both mkii and mkiv. That way, I can use it in modules that target both mkii and mkiv. BTW, I am still amused how Hans manages to write such code. If you replace \expandafter with \@EA, this code will have more # than other characters combined :) \unexpanded\def\doinstallparameterhandler#1#2#3#4#5#6#7% {\def#3##1{\csname#4{#1#2}{##1}\endcsname}% \def#4##1##2{\ifcsname##1##2\endcsname##1##2\else\expandafter#5\csname##1\s!parent\endcsname{##2}\fi}% \def#5##1##2{\ifx##1\relax\s!empty\else#4{##1}{##2}\fi}% \def#6##1##2{\csname#4{#1##1}{##2}\endcsname}% \def#7##1{\detokenize\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter{\csname#1##1\endcsname}}} Aditya
