% Module:    ZZTeX Programming Constructs
%
% Synopsis:  This module contains definitions for ZZTeX's programming
%            constructs.  These constructs provide various extensions
%            to TeX's sometimes meager repertoire of programming
%            features.

%                       ----- -------


% We need a name for a space token.

\def \\{\let \zspacetoken = } \\ % Now \zspacetoken is a space token.

% This macro discards the next token.

\def \discardtok #1{}%                                  token

% This macro removes the `pt' following a dimension.

{\catcode `\p = \catother \catcode `\t = \catother

\gdef \zremovedu #1pt{#1}

} % \catcode

% Using that macro, we can define a macro that "converts" a dimen register
% into a factor.

\def \thefactor #1{\expandafter\zremovedu \the#1}

% This macro extracts the contents of a macro and returns it as plain text.
% Usage: \expandafter\zdefof \meaning\macro\zmark

%                       IF and Predicates
%                       -- --- ----------

% A "predicate" is a macro that returns \true or \false as its value.
% Such values are suitable for use with the \if conditional.  For example:
%
%   \if \oddp{\x} &lt;then-clause&gt; \else &lt;else-clause&gt; \fi

% A predicate can be used with \setflag as follows:
%
%   \setflag \flag = {&lt;predicate&gt;}

% Here are the predicates for TeX's repertoire of conditional
% commands.  These might be more appropriately interspersed with
% other definitions in this module, but what the heck.
% Some additional "obvious" predicates are defined.
