For this purpose, it is customary to call \string which does +this sort of things... except that it prepends the escape character, +controlled by the counter \escapechar, in front of the name. The +traditional way of getting rid of it, is to set \escapechar to -1 +(without forgetting to restore the proper value at the end of the +process) or to make use of \@gobble. The former has the drawback not +to be expandible while the second isn't completely reliable. Here we +extend the expandible methods to make it reliable. + +This material is subject to the LaTeX Project Public License. +See http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/licenses.lppl.html +for the details of that license. |
