<div dir="ltr">\protect is defined in LaTeX but not in Plain TeX. I was wondering if one also would need to use \protect in Plain TeX for making macro definitions with moving arguments. If so, then what should you use instead \protect in Plain TeX or how should \protect be defined for Plain TeX?<br>
<br>In LaTeX, \show\protect gives \relax at the beginning of the document.<br><br>Thanks<br></div>
