... sometime in the future
-o Change generic macro names (such as \table, \symstream, etc) to something more specific
+* Add an `install_macros' (or the like) to makefile.loc to automate macro installation
+ for the parser generated by this package (the parsers and lexers are not separated
+ into different directories, the new targets are `install' and `uninstall')
+* Fix the double column output macros to correctly process the \mark commands (every time
+ an output routine runs it resets the \topmark; this needs to be corrected)
+* Change generic macro names (such as \table) to something more specific (\table will stay
+ but most macro names are unique enough)
+* Add a macro to index arbitrary strings in an arbitrary domain (store the string in a
+ global array and pass the pointer to the indexing macros)
+* Reimplement the action for the bison parser using lists
* Add \bgrulealign and \egrulealign macros to align rules across sections (a simple way to
implement this is given as an example in the included package, a more flexible method would
have to wait)
* Rewrite yytexlex.sty for better \TeX\ pretty printing macros (* the new macros are still
not ideal but are very unlikely to change in the near future)
- o Change the name of the namespace (currently 'index') used by the \TeXx macros to avoid
- confusion with the special '[index]' namespace used by the parser for inserted symbols
- (like an empty right hand side and implicit terms)
+ * Change the name of the namespace (currently `index') used by the \TeXx macros to avoid
+ confusion with the special `[index]' namespace used by the parser for inserted symbols
+ (like an empty right hand side and implicit terms) (`index' has been changed to `index:tex')
o Develop a 'loose' parsing scheme for \TeX\ macros by requiring some macros to
follow stricter rules
* Rewrite limbo.sty to provide a more logical structure (* several changes have been implemented)
* Add indexing features to \TeXx macros (* there is a mechanism to do this)
+o Optimize \yyinput to minimize expansion in the most common cases
o Change CWEB macros so that \pdfoutput=0 does not cause conflicts (this is a bug in cwebmac.tex)
-o Change the support for named references so that the driver generates references while outputting
- the 'action switch' (using code like stack_depth = $$ - $[name])
+* Change the support for named references so that the driver generates references while outputting
+ the 'action switch' (using code like stack_depth = $$ - $[name];* done using `lazy' postprocessing)
... very remote future
