INLINEDEF -- Inlined expansions within definitions AUTHOR Stephen D. Hicks is author of inlinedef email: sdh33@cornell.edu COPYRIGHT This program is provided under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License distributed from CTAN archives in the directory macros/latex/base/lppl.txt. Copyright 2008 Stephen D. Hicks INSTALLATION Run `latex inlinedef.ins' and copy the inlinedef.sty file into a path searched by LaTeX. DESCRIPTION This package provides a macro \Inline that precedes a \def or \gdef. Within the definition text of an inlined definition, keywords such as \Expand may be used to selectively inline certain expansions at definition-time. This eases the process of redefining macros in terms of the original definition, as well as definitions in which the token that must be expanded is deep within, where \expandafter would be difficult and \edef is not suitable. Another application is as an easier version of \aftergroup, by defining a macro in terms of expanded local variables, then ending the group with \expandafter\endgroup\macro FILES README This file inlinedef.dtx Source code, test suite, and documentation inlinedef.ins Installation script generating source and tests inlinedef.pdf PDF version of the documentation
