[tex-eplain] TeX--XeT

[terry.s at Safe-mail.net]

Thank you,

I could do a shortcut to the wrappers I have. I have some other documents on plain TeX to read then I hope to get The TeXbook. (I also have the free excerpt from The LaTeX Companion, Third, which will be helpful for fonts in LaTeX.) I think I should have a look at the OpTeX source (even if it's mostly over my head) for verbatim definitons and the like, since all the macros themselves boil down to plain TeX, albeit with a few changes.

Sincerely,
Terry S.

> You can use \begingroup and \endgroup instead of brackets.  I don't remember off-hand if there's an \everyverbatim.  You could write a wrapper for \verbatim using \bgroup and one for \endverbatim with \egroup.  This is an advanced topic.  Knuth addresses the issue of verbatim typesetting in _The TeXbook_.  It might just be easiest to use \begingroup and \endgroup and change \parskip everytime you use \verbatim.
