So I created the list macro as: + +\def\obj@macros{\do{firstmacro} \do{secondmacro} \do{thirdmacro}} + +By trial and error I designed: + +\def\obj@def#1{\expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname{\@@def{@#1}}} +\def\@@def#1#2{\expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname{#2}} + +At the proper moment I used: + +\let\do\obj@def \obj@macros + +This does exactly what I wanted but I do not understand why.

I ran this style file more than +hundred times with different input data and I always got what I expected. The +only problem is that I do not understand it. + +Any explanation will be appreciated. + +------------------------------ + +Date: Mon, 17 May 1993 12:55:23 +0100 +From: Martyn Johnson +Subject: Incompatibility between TeX--XeT and TeX + +The TeX community has been told that Peter Breitenlohner's TeX--XeT is +upwards compatible with TeX proper. Witness the footnote on TTN Vol 1 +No 4 p9 and the statement in the change file which says: + +> (3) therefore TeX--XeT is designed to be used instead of and not in +> addition to TeX and consequently the pool file name is not changed; + +I believe I have found a counterexample, which has caused me to have to +back off from installing TeX--XeT as a replacement for TeX. + +The problem arises because of the extra nodes which get inserted when +paragraphs are broken into lines. The particular case which is causing +trouble is when a formula is broken. A "\mathoff" is inserted before +the \rightskip glue of the first line and a "\mathon" at the beginning +of the next. These nodes are visible if you start unpicking the boxes. + +Consider the following example: + + \setbox0=\vbox{\hsize=3em\noindent$a+b+\penalty-9999c+d$} + \vbox{\unvbox0\setbox1=\lastbox\unskip\unpenalty\setbox1=\lastbox + \unhbox1\unskip\showthe\lastpenalty} + +In ordinary TeX, this shows the value -9999, since the last item on the +first line after the \rightskip glue has been removed with \unskip is +the penalty which caused the line break. TeX--XeT, on the other hand, +shows the value 0, since the penalty is obscured by the inserted +"\mathoff". + +Although this is a contrived example, the problem actually showed up in +some genuine macros. There are some macros for drawing rectangular +category-theory diagrams written by Paul Taylor which use the +technique of using penalty values to communicate information. In +TeX--XeT, these macros break badly, missing out large chunks of the +diagram. + +If this incompatibility cannot be mended, I believe that the claim of +compatibility will have to be withdrawn. This means that TeX--XeT will +have to use a different pool file name. + +I would of course much prefer the incompatibility to be corrected. I +have tried reporting the problem directly to Peter Breitenlohner but +have had no response yet. + +Martyn Johnson maj@cl.cam.ac.uk +University of Cambridge Computer Lab +Cambridge UK + +------------------------------ + +Date: Mon, 24 May 1993 15:15:54 -0000 +From: David_Rhead@vme.nott.ac.uk +Subject: LaTeX verbatim + +I'm hacking a LaTeX style-file together for a design that has unindented +paragraphs separated by "a blank line".
