boolexpr – A boolean expression evaluator and a switch command
The \boolexpr macro evaluates boolean expressions in a purely expandable way.
\boolexpr{ A \OR B \AND C } expands to 0 if the logical
expression is TRUE. A, B, C may be:
numeric expressions such as:
x=y, x<>y, x>y
or x<y;
– boolean switches: \iftrue 0\else 1\fi;
– conditionals: \ifcsname whatsit\endcsname 0\else 1\fi;
– another \boolexpr: \boolexpr{ D \OR E \AND F }:
\boolexpr may be used with \ifcase:
\ifcase\boolexpr{ A \OR B \AND C } What to do if true \else What to do if false \fi
The \switch command (which is also expandable) has the form:
\switch \case{<boolean expression>} ... \case{<boolean expression>} ... ... \otherwise ... \endswitch
