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, % \nextpar{\hbox to0pt{\kern-2em \romannumeral\mycounter.\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..

fenixpar – One-shot changes to token registers such as \everypar
The bundle provides two packages, fenxitok and fenixpar.
The fenixtok package provides user macros to add material to a token register; the material will be (automatically) removed from the token register when the register is executed. Material may be added either to the left or to the right, and care is taken not to override any redefinition that may be included in the token register itself.
The fenixpar package uses the macros of fenixtok to provide a user interface to manipulation of the \everypar token register.
The packages require the e-TeX extensions; with them, they work either with Plain TeX or with LaTeX.
