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.
