% xeplain.tex: macros for nonformatting.  Written 1989--94 by (mostly)

%  Hooks.
%
% \hookaction{HOOK}{TOKENS} adds TOKENS to the list of actions for
% HOOK.  We avoid defining a \toks register for each hook, although
% maybe that isn't so important.
% 
% \hookappend and \hookprepend add TOKENS specificially to the end or
% the beginning.  When the argument is used, \toks@ will be the previous
% value of the hook, and \toks@ii the new tokens.

%
% 
% \@hookassign{LAST-DEF}{HOOK}{TOKENS} makes \toks@ the previous value
% of HOOK, and \toks@ii TOKENS, and then assigns the new value using
% LASTDEF.  We store the hook in a control sequence \@HOOKhook.

%  Macros to support BibTeX are in a separate file, btxmac.tex.
% 
% (They are maintained separately, too, by Oren Patashnik,
% opbibtex@cs.stanford.edu.)  btxmac.tex also defines other macros we
% want to use and make available.
% 
% But not all people want to read the BibTeX macros, because of either
% space or time considerations.  Therefore, we look for \nobibtex,
% which, if defined, causes btxmac.tex not to be read.  But we still
% have to get \tokstostring et al. defined---so eplain.tex contains
% those definitions, automatically edited in from btxmac.tex.  All the
% documentation has been removed, so you must read btxmac.tex if you
% want the comments.

%  Macros that produce output.
% 
% \obeywhitespace makes both end-of-lines and spaces in the input be
% respected in the output.  Even spaces at the beginning of lines turn
% into blank space the size of the natural space of the current font.
% The reason why plain TeX's \obeyspaces does not do this last is that
% it produces actual space characters, i.e., glue, and glue is discarded
% at a(n output) line break, and so if line breaks in the input are
% line breaks in the output...

% Tabs are not affected; they will still produce glue (a single space).

% asnd@triumfrg.bitnet.

%
% How do you want the first column aligned?

%\let\@leftleftfill\hfill % makes more sense, but could be too ugly

% does not perform baselineskip handing, so we need to get
% the \prevdepth ourselves...in order to get the prevdepth,

% \noalign is typically used to insert a few words (`and', for example)
% between two aligned equations.  So I don't think the \noaligned
% material should be indented.  Since \noalign takes <vertical mode
% material>, we would end up with double indentation, anyway: one
% because we're indenting the whole display, and one at the start of the
% <v.m.m.>.  (If you want to change any of this, you can put something in
% \@everynoalign.)  So, we use this definition for \noalign in a
% left-justified \eqalignno:

  \@primitivenoalign{%

%  (Typographical) lists.

% the current paragraph indentation, while \listrightindent is an
% absolute value.  I do this for two reasons: (1) it is more useful, if not
% more ``logical'', to make list indentation depend on the paragraph
% indentation; (2) footnotes do not work if \parindent is zero, and
% having a footnote in a list item is perfectly reasonable.
% 
% If you change \baselineskip and want \abovelistskip and \belowlistskip
% to retain their meanings here, you will have to reassign to them.  The
% \baselineskip here is the value at the time eplain.tex is read, i.e.,
% 12pt (most likely).

%  Cross-references.
% 
% Definitions of references are recorded in \jobname.aux, called
% \auxfile in the macros, which btxmac.tex has opened.
% 
% When a label isn't defined, we only want to complain if
% \xrefwarningtrue; btxmac uses \if@citewarning for this, so we have to
% reuse that name.  We can't just say \let\ifxrefwarning =
% \if@citewarning, since then changes to the latter won't be reflected
% in the former.  On the other hand, we have to have a true \if...
% command, so \if's and \fi's match properly.  What a mess.
%
\let\ifxrefwarning = \iftrue
\def\xrefwarningtrue{\@citewarningtrue \let\ifxrefwarning = \iftrue}%
\def\xrefwarningfalse{\@citewarningfalse \let\ifxrefwarning = \iffalse}%
%
% 
% \xref{foo} produces ``p.\thinspace <page#>''.  \xrefn{foo} produces
% ``<page#>''.  \xrdef{foo} produces nothing, but defines the label
% `foo' to be on the current page.
%
% As usual, it takes two passes to get the cross-references right.  I
% would like to check for labels being defined twice, but I don't know
% how to do that.  If the cross-reference file has been read in, many
% cross-references will be defined that I don't want to complain about.
% It is only if two \xrdef commands are given to the same string that I
% want to complain.  I could define a new control sequence for each
% cross-reference, and check that, but that seems like too high of a
% price to pay.
%
% 
% \xrlabel{LABEL} expands to a cross-reference internal name.  We append
% an _ character to NAME, to help avoid conflicts.  And we append an `x'
% so that we don't redefine \_ on an empty label.

% When this is invoked box 255 contains just the right amount of
% material, whether triggered by an output routine or a change in the
% number of columns. Because columns have to contain an integral number
% of lines of type, we take a bit of care with balancing the heights of
% the columns to prevent either losing material or having a very short
% last column.
%
% When a page ends due to \bye or \eject, box 255 will contain lots of
% white space, so the columns will not look balanced. To fix this use
% \singlecolumn before ending the page.
%
% [gutterbox material added by AHL on 5 November 1997.]
% \gutterbox is a hook to enable the placement of arbitrary vertical
% material in the gutter between columns. For example, to put a
% vertical line between the columns you could say 
%
%   \def\gutterbox{\vbox to \dimen0{\vfil\hbox{\vrule height\dimen0}\vfil}}%
%
% The dimension counter \dimen0 contains the height of the column. 
%
% By default, we define \gutterbox to be "empty": 
\def\gutterbox{\vbox to \dimen0{\vfil\hbox{\hfil}\vfil}}%
%
% [This next paragraph added by AHL on 22 Sep 1996.]
% There is a special case we have to worry about, namely when we
% switch from multiple columns to single columns. In this case, we may
% have a bit of text left over that doesn't fit evenly into the
% multiple columns. In that case, we will have un-even columns. Not a
% pretty solution, but I don't have a better one at the moment. The
% conditional \if@forceextraline tests whether we are in this case.

%
% Here is the main difficulty: when \vsplitting the long page into the
% component columns, \vsplit prepends to the top of each column glue
% in the amount \topskip - (height of top box). But this happens
% in the output routine _after_ the \columnfill does its
% calculations. The result of this is that if we are not careful
% \columnfill will insert too much space attempting to ``eject'' the
% current column. There is no simple way around this, so what I have
% done is have is make \columnfill insert less space than needed, and
% then not allow any \club lines by setting \clubpenalty to its
% maximum value. Not a pretty solution, but until something better
% comes along, it will have to do.
