New CTAN package: texdef

06 Mar '11

On Sat, 5 Mar 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted the texdef package. Summary description: Perl script to display the definition of TeX commands License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The 'texdef' Perl script is displays the definition of given (La)TeX command sequences/macros. Various options allow the selection of the used class and package files and other things which can have influence on the definition (before/after the preamble, inside an environment, ...). The script creates a temporary TeX file which is then compiled using (La|*)TeX to receive the `meaning` of the command sequence. The result is formatted and presented to the user. Length or number command sequences (dimensions, char..., count registers, ...) are recognized and the contained value is also shown (using ` he`). Special definitions like protected macros are also recognized and the underlying macros are shown as well. The 'texdef' script will show plainTeX definitions by default. LaTeX and ConTeXt are supported, including flavors (pdf(la)tex, lua(la)tex, xe(la)tex, ...). The flavor can be selected using an command line option or over the script name: 'latexdef' will use LaTeX as default, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/texdef .
