Resolution: Accepted Priority: 4 Submitted By: Taco Hoekwater (taco) Assigned to: Martin Schröder (oneiros) Summary: \primitive and \ifprimitive
Initial Comment: This patch implements two new primitives: \primitive \par This will run the 'primitive' command \par, even if it has been re- or undefined in the meantime. \primitive is not expandable, because it may be asked to execute unexpandable primitives as well as expandable ones. If you supply a nonexistant primitive, it will be ignored (no error is raised). The second primitive is a new type of \if: \ifprimitive \par ... \else .. \fi returns true if the current meaning of \par is the 'primitive' command \par. The patch is against alpha-20051226, i hope that is not too old (?). I expect to do at least one minor update during the beta cycle, after the pdftex code is flattened. It was quite a struggle to make this change file work ok, and as a result, there are a few ugly web hacks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sarovar.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=495&aid=466&group_id=106
