Name of contribution: fenixpar Author's name: Javier A. Mugica Location on CTAN: /macros/generic/fenixpar Summary description: New package for dealing with everypar and in general with token registers that need to restore themselves License type: lppl

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

From fenixtok.sty:

% This file provides a few user macros to add material to a token register (typically everypar) % to be automatically removed when the token list is executed or later on request, % without interfering with existing material in that register.

Material can be added either to the left or to the right, but care is taken not to override any redefinition that may be included in the token register itself. The program also takes some precautions is case the register is redefined elsewhere destroying the existing material.

The package works with latex as well as e-plain (not plain, I use ifcsname at one point).

The package fenixpar simply gives new names to some macros and automatically provides the argument {everypar} to the fenixtok macros when necesary.

From fenixpar.sty:

% Next is an example: % NewParType{asterisk}{hbox to0pt{hss$ast$kern6pt}} % % NextPar{asterisk} This par will get an asterisk.par % But this will not. % % AllPars{asterisk} This par will get an asterisk.par % And this one.par % And all these.par % ... % EndPars{asterisk} % % To directly add code to the next par, % extpar{hbox to0pt{kern-2em omannumeralmycounter.hss}}

From fenixtok.sty again:

% The commands All... and End... can be mixed in any order; in particular, they don't need % to be nested. They may also be mixed in any way with respect to Next.. or fornext..
