They act as in etoolbox boolean expressions (togl requires etoolbox, as it gives the truth value of the named toggle), and may be freely combined using the logic operators &, |, or functions all, any, xor, etc... * new conditional xintifboolexpr {<expr>}{YES}{NO}, where <expr> is written in the xintexpr recognized infix syntax, * the (non-expandable) utility xintApplyInline has been enhanced to be usable in contexts such as alignments where the applied macro may close groups, * xintFor is a new kind of for loop: it uses #1, #2, #3, #4 rather than macros to represent the (comma separated) list items; e.g. xintFor #1 in {a,b,c} do { extbf{#1}}. Despite not being completely expandable, it is nestable, and usable to generate rows in alignments, as it survives the closing of groups via its replacement text, * xintSeq expandably generates arithmetic sequences. Some other changes and code improvements, and improved documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
