@ It's sort of a miracle whenever \.{\\halign} and \.{\\valign} work, because
they cut across so many of the control structures of \TeX.

Therefore the present page is probably not the best place for a beginner to
start reading this program; it is better to master everything else first.

Let us focus our thoughts on an example of what the input might be, in order
to get some idea about how the alignment miracle happens. The example doesn't
do anything useful, but it is sufficiently general to indicate all of the
special cases that must be dealt with; please do not be disturbed by its
apparent complexity and meaninglessness.
$$\vbox{\halign{\.{#}\hfil\cr
{}\\tabskip 2pt plus 3pt\cr
{}\\halign to 300pt\{u1\#v1\&\cr
\hskip 50pt\\tabskip 1pt plus 1fil u2\#v2\&\cr
\hskip 50pt u3\#v3\\cr\cr
\hskip 25pt a1\&\\omit a2\&\\vrule\\cr\cr
\hskip 25pt \\noalign\{\\vskip 3pt\}\cr
\hskip 25pt b1\\span b2\\cr\cr
\hskip 25pt \\omit\&c2\\span\\omit\\cr\}\cr}}$$
Here's what happens:

\yskip
(0) When `\.{\\halign to 300pt\{}' is scanned, the |scan_spec| routine
places the 300pt dimension onto the |save_stack|, and an |align_group|
code is placed above it. This will make it possible to complete the alignment
when the matching `\.\}' is found.

(1) The preamble is scanned next. Macros in the preamble are not expanded,
@^preamble@>
except as part of a tabskip specification. For example, if \.{u2} had been
a macro in the preamble above, it would have been expanded, since \TeX\
must look for `\.{minus...}' as part of the tabskip glue. A ``preamble list''
is constructed based on the user's preamble; in our case it contains the
following seven items:
$$\vbox{\halign{\.{#}\hfil\qquad&(#)\hfil\cr
{}\\glue 2pt plus 3pt&the tabskip preceding column 1\cr
{}\\alignrecord, width $-\infty$&preamble info for column 1\cr
{}\\glue 2pt plus 3pt&the tabskip between columns 1 and 2\cr
{}\\alignrecord, width $-\infty$&preamble info for column 2\cr
{}\\glue 1pt plus 1fil&the tabskip between columns 2 and 3\cr
{}\\alignrecord, width $-\infty$&preamble info for column 3\cr
{}\\glue 1pt plus 1fil&the tabskip following column 3\cr}}$$
These ``alignrecord'' entries have the same size as an |unset_node|,
since they will later be converted into such nodes. These alignrecord
nodes have no |depth| field; this is split into |u_part| and |v_part|,
and they point to token lists for the templates of the alignment. For
example, the |u_part| field in the first alignrecord points to the
token list `\.{u1}', i.e., the template preceding the `\.\#' for
column~1.  Furthermore, They have a |span_ptr| instead of a |node_attr|
field, and these |span_ptr| fields are initially set to the value
|end_span|, for reasons explained below.

(2) \TeX\ now looks at what follows the \.{\\cr} that ended the preamble.
It is not `\.{\\noalign}' or `\.{\\omit}', so this input is put back to
be read again, and the template `\.{u1}' is fed to the scanner. Just
before reading `\.{u1}', \TeX\ goes into restricted horizontal mode.
Just after reading `\.{u1}', \TeX\ will see `\.{a1}', and then (when the
{\.\&} is sensed) \TeX\ will see `\.{v1}'. Then \TeX\ scans an |endv|
token, indicating the end of a column. At this point an |unset_node| is
created, containing the contents of the current hlist (i.e., `\.{u1a1v1}').
The natural width of this unset node replaces the |width| field of the
alignrecord for column~1; in general, the alignrecords will record the
maximum natural width that has occurred so far in a given column.

(3) Since `\.{\\omit}' follows the `\.\&', the templates for column~2
are now bypassed. Again \TeX\ goes into restricted horizontal mode and
makes an |unset_node| from the resulting hlist; but this time the
hlist contains simply `\.{a2}'. The natural width of the new unset box
is remembered in the |width| field of the alignrecord for column~2.

(4) A third |unset_node| is created for column 3, using essentially the
mechanism that worked for column~1; this unset box contains `\.{u3\\vrule
v3}'. The vertical rule in this case has running dimensions that will later
extend to the height and depth of the whole first row, since each |unset_node|
in a row will eventually inherit the height and depth of its enclosing box.

(5) The first row has now ended; it is made into a single unset box
comprising the following seven items:
$$\vbox{\halign{\hbox to 325pt{\qquad\.{#}\hfil}\cr
{}\\glue 2pt plus 3pt\cr
{}\\unsetbox for 1 column: u1a1v1\cr
{}\\glue 2pt plus 3pt\cr
{}\\unsetbox for 1 column: a2\cr
{}\\glue 1pt plus 1fil\cr
{}\\unsetbox for 1 column: u3\\vrule v3\cr
{}\\glue 1pt plus 1fil\cr}}$$
The width of this unset row is unimportant, but it has the correct height
and depth, so the correct baselineskip glue will be computed as the row
is inserted into a vertical list.

(6) Since `\.{\\noalign}' follows the current \.{\\cr}, \TeX\ appends
additional material (in this case \.{\\vskip 3pt}) to the vertical list.
While processing this material, \TeX\ will be in internal vertical
mode, and |no_align_group| will be on |save_stack|.

(7) The next row produces an unset box that looks like this:
$$\vbox{\halign{\hbox to 325pt{\qquad\.{#}\hfil}\cr
{}\\glue 2pt plus 3pt\cr
{}\\unsetbox for 2 columns: u1b1v1u2b2v2\cr
{}\\glue 1pt plus 1fil\cr
{}\\unsetbox for 1 column: {\rm(empty)}\cr
{}\\glue 1pt plus 1fil\cr}}$$
The natural width of the unset box that spans columns 1~and~2 is stored
in a ``span node,'' which we will explain later; the |span_ptr| field of the
alignrecord for column~1 now points to the new span node, and the |span_ptr|
of the span node points to |end_span|.

(8) The final row produces the unset box
$$\vbox{\halign{\hbox to 325pt{\qquad\.{#}\hfil}\cr
{}\\glue 2pt plus 3pt\cr
{}\\unsetbox for 1 column: {\rm(empty)}\cr
{}\\glue 2pt plus 3pt\cr
{}\\unsetbox for 2 columns: u2c2v2\cr
{}\\glue 1pt plus 1fil\cr}}$$
A new span node is attached to the alignrecord for column 2.

(9) The last step is to compute the true column widths and to change all the
unset boxes to hboxes, appending the whole works to the vertical list that
encloses the \.{\\halign}. The rules for deciding on the final widths of
each unset column box will be explained below.

\yskip\noindent
Note that as \.{\\halign} is being processed, we fearlessly give up control
to the rest of \TeX. At critical junctures, an alignment routine is
called upon to step in and do some little action, but most of the time
these routines just lurk in the background. It's something like
post-hypnotic suggestion.

@ We have mentioned that alignrecords contain no |height| or |depth| fields.
Their |glue_sign| and |glue_order| are pre-empted as well, since it
is necessary to store information about what to do when a template ends.
This information is called the |extra_info| field.

@c
#define u_part(A) vlink((A)+depth_offset)       /* pointer to \<u_j> token list */
#define v_part(A) vinfo((A)+depth_offset)       /* pointer to \<v_j> token list */
#define span_ptr(A) vinfo((A)+1)        /* column spanning list */
#define extra_info(A) vinfo((A)+list_offset)    /* info to remember during template */

@ Alignments can occur within alignments, so a small stack is used to access
the alignrecord information. At each level we have a |preamble| pointer,
indicating the beginning of the preamble list; a |cur_align| pointer,
indicating the current position in the preamble list; a |cur_span| pointer,
indicating the value of |cur_align| at the beginning of a sequence of
spanned columns; a |cur_loop| pointer, indicating the tabskip glue before
an alignrecord that should be copied next if the current list is extended;
and the |align_state| variable, which indicates the nesting of braces so
that \.{\\cr} and \.{\\span} and tab marks are properly intercepted.
There also are pointers |cur_head| and |cur_tail| to the head and tail
of a list of adjustments being moved out from horizontal mode to
vertical~mode, and alike |cur_pre_head| and |cur_pre_tail| for pre-adjust
lists.

The current values of these nine quantities appear in global variables;
when they have to be pushed down, they are stored in 6-word nodes, and
|align_ptr| points to the topmost such node.

@c
#define preamble vlink(align_head)      /* the current preamble list */

pointer cur_align = null;       /* current position in preamble list */
pointer cur_span = null;        /* start of currently spanned columns in preamble list */
pointer cur_loop = null;        /* place to copy when extending a periodic preamble */
pointer align_ptr = null;       /* most recently pushed-down alignment stack node */
pointer cur_head = null, cur_tail = null;       /* adjustment list pointers */
pointer cur_pre_head = null, cur_pre_tail = null;       /* pre-adjustment list pointers */

/* The |align_state| and |preamble| variables are initialized elsewhere. */

@ Alignment stack maintenance is handled by a pair of trivial routines
called |push_alignment| and |pop_alignment|.

(HH:) It makes not much sense to add support for an \.{attr} keyword to
\.{\\halign} and \.{\\valign} because then we need to decide if we tag
rows or cells or both or come up with \.{cellattr} and \.{rowattr} and
such. But then it even makes sense to have explicit commands (in addition
to the seperator) to tags individual cells. Too muss hassle for now and the
advantages are not that large.

@c
static void push_alignment(void)
{
    pointer p;                  /* the new alignment stack node */
    p = new_node(align_stack_node, 0);
    vinfo(p + 1) = align_ptr;
    vlink(p + 1) = cur_align;
    vinfo(p + 2) = preamble;
    vlink(p + 2) = cur_span;
    vinfo(p + 3) = cur_loop;
    vlink(p + 3) = align_state;
    vinfo(p + 4) = cur_head;
    vlink(p + 4) = cur_tail;
    vinfo(p + 5) = cur_pre_head;
    vlink(p + 5) = cur_pre_tail;
    align_ptr = p;
    cur_head = new_node(temp_node, 0);
    cur_pre_head = new_node(temp_node, 0);
}

static void pop_alignment(void)
{
    pointer p;                  /* the top alignment stack node */
    flush_node(cur_head);
    flush_node(cur_pre_head);
    p = align_ptr;
    cur_pre_tail = vlink(p + 5);
    cur_pre_head = vinfo(p + 5);
    cur_tail = vlink(p + 4);
    cur_head = vinfo(p + 4);
    align_state = vlink(p + 3);
    cur_loop = vinfo(p + 3);
    cur_span = vlink(p + 2);
    preamble = vinfo(p + 2);
    cur_align = vlink(p + 1);
    align_ptr = vinfo(p + 1);
    flush_node(p);
}


@ \TeX\ has eight procedures that govern alignments: |init_align| and
|fin_align| are used at the very beginning and the very end; |init_row| and
|fin_row| are used at the beginning and end of individual rows; |init_span|
is used at the beginning of a sequence of spanned columns (possibly involving
only one column); |init_col| and |fin_col| are used at the beginning and
end of individual columns; and |align_peek| is used after \.{\\cr} to see
whether the next item is \.{\\noalign}.

We shall consider these routines in the order they are first used during
the course of a complete \.{\\halign}, namely |init_align|, |align_peek|,
|init_row|, |init_span|, |init_col|, |fin_col|, |fin_row|, |fin_align|.


@ The preamble is copied directly, except that \.{\\tabskip} causes a change
to the tabskip glue, thereby possibly expanding macros that immediately
follow it. An appearance of \.{\\span} also causes such an expansion.

Note that if the preamble contains `\.{\\global\\tabskip}', the `\.{\\global}'
token survives in the preamble and the `\.{\\tabskip}' defines new
tabskip glue (locally).

@c
static void get_preamble_token(void)
{
  RESTART:
    get_token();
    while ((cur_chr == span_code) && (cur_cmd == tab_mark_cmd)) {
        get_token();            /* this token will be expanded once */
        if (cur_cmd > max_command_cmd) {
            expand();
            get_token();
        }
    }
    if (cur_cmd == endv_cmd)
        fatal_error("(interwoven alignment preambles are not allowed)");
    if ((cur_cmd == assign_glue_cmd)
        && (cur_chr == glue_base + tab_skip_code)) {
        scan_optional_equals();
        scan_glue(glue_val_level);
        if (int_par(global_defs_code) > 0)
            geq_define(glue_base + tab_skip_code, glue_ref_cmd, cur_val);
        else
            eq_define(glue_base + tab_skip_code, glue_ref_cmd, cur_val);
        goto RESTART;
    }
}



@ When \.{\\halign} or \.{\\valign} has been scanned in an appropriate
mode, \TeX\ calls |init_align|, whose task is to get everything off to a
good start. This mostly involves scanning the preamble and putting its
information into the preamble list.

@ The tricky part about alignments is getting the templates into the
scanner at the right time, and recovering control when a row or column
is finished.

We usually begin a row after each \.{\\cr} has been sensed, unless that
\.{\\cr} is followed by \.{\\noalign} or by the right brace that terminates
the alignment. The |align_peek| routine is used to look ahead and do
the right thing; it either gets a new row started, or gets a \.{\\noalign}
started, or finishes off the alignment.

@ A span node is a 3-word record containing |width|, |span_span|, and
|span_ptr| fields. The |span_span| field indicates the number of
spanned columns; the |span_ptr| field points to a span node for the same
starting column, having a greater extent of spanning, or to
|end_span|, which has the largest possible |span_span| field; the |width|
field holds the largest natural width corresponding to a particular
set of spanned columns.

A list of the maximum widths so far, for spanned columns starting at a
given column, begins with the |span_ptr| field of the alignrecord for
that column. The code has to make sure that there is room for
|span_ptr| in both the alignrecord and the span nodes, which is why
|span_ptr| replaces |node_attr|.

/* It's time now to dismantle the preamble list and to compute the column
widths. Let $w_{ij}$ be the maximum of the natural widths of all entries
that span columns $i$ through $j$, inclusive. The alignrecord for column~$i$
contains $w_{ii}$ in its |width| field, and there is also a linked list of
the nonzero $w_{ij}$ for increasing $j$, accessible via the |info| field;
these span nodes contain the value $j-i+|min_quarterword|$ in their
|link| fields. The values of $w_{ii}$ were initialized to |null_flag|, which
we regard as $-\infty$.

The final column widths are defined by the formula
$$w_j=\max_{1\L i\L j}\biggl( w_{ij}-\sum_{i\L k<j}(t_k+w_k)\biggr),$$
where $t_k$ is the natural width of the tabskip glue between columns
$k$ and~$k+1$. However, if $w_{ij}=-\infty$ for all |i| in the range
|1<=i<=j| (i.e., if every entry that involved column~|j| also involved
column~|j+1|), we let $w_j=0$, and we zero out the tabskip glue after
column~|j|.

\TeX\ computes these values by using the following scheme: First $w_1=w_{11}$.
Then replace $w_{2j}$ by $\max(w_{2j},w_{1j}-t_1-w_1)$, for all $j>1$.
Then $w_2=w_{22}$. Then replace $w_{3j}$ by $\max(w_{3j},w_{2j}-t_2-w_2)$
for all $j>2$; and so on. If any $w_j$ turns out to be $-\infty$, its
value is changed to zero and so is the next tabskip.
