%  \section{Support for Plain \TeX}
%
%  \subsection{Not renaming \file{hyphen.tex}}
%    As Don Knuth has declared that the filename \file{hyphen.tex} may
%    only be used to designate \emph{his} version of the american
%    English hyphenation patterns, a new solution has to be found in
%    order to be able to load hyphenation patterns for other languages
%    in a plain-based \TeX-format. 
%    When asked he responded:
%    \begin{quote}
%      That file name is "sacred", and if anybody changes it they will
%      cause severe upward/downward compatibility headaches.
%
%      People can have a file localhyphen.tex or whatever they like,
%      but they mustn't diddle with hyphen.tex (or plain.tex except to
%      preload additional fonts). 
%    \end{quote}
%
%    The files \file{bplain.tex} and \file{blplain.tex} can be used as
%    replacement wrappers around \file{plain.tex} and
%    \file{lplain.tex} to acheive the desired effect, based on the
%    \pkg{babel} package. If you load each of them with ini\TeX, you
%    will get a file called either \file{bplain.fmt} or
%    \file{blplain.fmt}, which you can use as replacements for
%    \file{plain.fmt} and \file{lplain.fmt}.
%
%    As these files are going to be read as the first thing ini\TeX\
%    sees, we need to set some category codes just to be able to
%    change the definition of |\input|
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*bplain|blplain>
\catcode`\{=1 % left brace is begin-group character
\catcode`\}=2 % right brace is end-group character
\catcode`\#=6 % hash mark is macro parameter character
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Now let's see if a file called \file{hyphen.cfg} can be found
%    somewhere on \TeX's input path by trying to open it for
%    reading... 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\openin 0 hyphen.cfg
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If the file wasn't found the following test turns out true.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifeof0
\else
%    \end{macrocode}
%    When \file{hyphen.cfg} could be opened we make sure that
%    \emph{it} will be read instead of the file \file{hyphen.tex}
%    which should (according to Don Knuth's ruling) contain the
%    american English hyphenation patterns and nothing else.
%
%    We do this by first saving the original meaning of |\input| (and
%    I use a one letter control sequence for that so as not to waste
%    multi-letter control sequence on this in the format).
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \let\a\input
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Then |\input| is defined to forget about its argument and load
%    \file{hyphen.cfg} instead.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \def\input #1 {%
    \let\input\a
    \a hyphen.cfg
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Once that's done the original meaning of |\input| can be restored
%    and the definition of |\a| can be forgotten.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \let\a\undefined
  }
\fi
%</bplain|blplain>
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Now that we have made sure that \file{hyphen.cfg} will be loaded
%    at the right moment it is time to load \file{plain.tex}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<bplain>\a plain.tex
%<blplain>\a lplain.tex
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Finally we change the contents of |\fmtname| to indicate that
%    this is \emph{not} the plain format, but a format based on plain
%    with the \pkg{babel} package preloaded.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<bplain>\def\fmtname{babel-plain}
%<blplain>\def\fmtname{babel-lplain}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    When you are using a different format, based on plain.tex you can
%    make a copy of blplain.tex, rename it and replace \file{plain.tex}
%    with the name of your format file.
%
%  \subsection{Emulating some \LaTeX{} features}
%
%    The following code duplicates or emulates parts of \LaTeXe\ that
%    are needed for \babel.
%
% \changes{bbplain-1.0f}{1996/07/09}{Consistently use \cs{@undefined}
%    instead of \cs{undefined}} 
% \changes{bbplain-1.0f}{1996/07/09}{added \cs{@empty}}
% \changes{bbplain-1.0h}{1996/10/07}{Only load the necessary parts
%    into the format, let this file be read agian by babel.def} 
% \changes{bbplain-1.0h}{2012/12/21}{Use \cs{orig@dump} as flag to
%    decide if we are building the format, defined in hyphen.cfg} 
%
%    When |\adddialect| is still undefined we are making a
%    format. In that case only the first part of this file is needed. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*code>
\def\@empty{}
\ifx\orig@dump\@undefined\else
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \changes{bbplain-1.0c}{1995/11/08}{Moved the \cs{dump} code here from
%    \file{babel.dtx}}
% \changes{bbplain-0.1}{1991/10/31}{Added redefinition of \cs{dump} to
%    add a message to \cs{everyjob}}
%    We want to add a message to the message \LaTeX$\:$2.09 puts in
%    the |\everyjob| register. This could be done by the following
%    code: 
%    \begin{verbatim}
%    \let\orgeveryjob\everyjob
%    \def\everyjob#1{%
%      \orgeveryjob{#1}%
%      \orgeveryjob\expandafter{\the\orgeveryjob\immediate\write16{%
%          hyphenation patterns for \the\loaded@patterns loaded.}}%
%      \let\everyjob\orgeveryjob\let\orgeveryjob\@undefined}
%    \end{verbatim}
%    The code above redefines the control sequence \cs{everyjob}
%    in order to be able to add something to the current contents of
%    the register. This is necessary because the processing of
%    hyphenation patterns happens long before \LaTeX\ fills the
%    register.
%
%    There are some problems with this approach though.
%  \begin{itemize}
%    \item When someone wants to use several hyphenation patterns with
%    \SliTeX\ the above scheme won't work. The reason is that \SliTeX\
%    overwrites the contents of the |\everyjob| register with its own
%    message.
%    \item Plain \TeX\ does not use the |\everyjob| register so the
%    message would not be displayed.
%  \end{itemize}
%    To circumvent this a `dirty trick' can be used. As this code is
%    only processed when creating a new format file there is one
%    command that is sure to be used, |\dump|. Therefore the original
%    |\dump| is saved in |\org@dump| and a new definition is supplied.
%
%    To make sure that \LaTeX$\:$2.09 executes the
%    |\@begindocumenthook| we would want to alter |\begin{document}|,
%    but as this done too often already, we add the new code at the
%    front of |\@preamblecmds|. But we can only do that after it has
%    been defined, so we add this piece of code to |\dump|.
% \changes{bbplain-1.0c}{1995/11/19}{Add execution of
%    \cs{@begindocumenthook} to \cs{@preamblecmds}} 
% \changes{bbplain-1.0i}{1997/01/02}{\cs{document} is not a
%    \LaTeX2.09-only command; AMS\TeX defines it too; now use
%    \cs{@ztryfc} to detect \LaTeX2.09} 
% \changes{bbplain-1.0j}{1997/01/07}{Add the definition of
%    \cs{@begindocumenthook} to the \LaTeX2.09 format} 
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \def\dump{%
    \ifx\@ztryfc\@undefined
    \else
      \toks0=\expandafter{\@preamblecmds}
      \edef\@preamblecmds{\noexpand\@begindocumenthook\the\toks0}
      \def\@begindocumenthook{}
    \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    This new definition starts by adding an instruction to write a
%    message on the terminal and in the transcript file to inform the
%    user of the preloaded hyphenation patterns.
% \changes{bbplain-1.0f}{1996/07/09}{Use \cs{toks8} instead of
%    \cs{patterns@loaded}} 
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \everyjob\expandafter{\the\everyjob%
      \immediate\write16{\the\toks8 loaded.}}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Then everything is restored to the old situation and the format
%    is dumped.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \let\dump\orig@dump\let\orig@dump\@undefined\dump}
  \expandafter\endinput
\fi
