<html><head></head><body><div style="font-family: Verdana;font-size: 12.0px;"><div>Alas, I must speak out again:<br/>
<br/>
A214 under <<a href="https://tug.org/texmfbug/nobug.html#endinput" target="_blank">https://tug.org/texmfbug/nobug.html#endinput</a>> was<br/>
changed.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>Loosely speaking: The issue is about an incorect error-message</div>

<div>occurring under obscure circumstances.</div>

<div>
<div> </div>

<div>A214  now contains a link "report 1" which points to<br/>
<<a href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/554770/why-does-endinput-bring-tex-into-interactive-mode-while-there-are-still-token" target="_blank">https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/554770/why-does-endinput-bring-tex-into-interactive-mode-while-there-are-still-token</a>></div>

<div> </div>

<div> </div>

<div>Under that URL  beneath other things you find some explanation</div>

<div>by Donald Arseneau about how `\endinput` works.</div>

<div> </div>

<div>That URL provides valuable knowledge necessary to understand<br/>
the coming into being of the erroneous behavior/of the</div>

<div>incorrect error-message.<br/>
<br/>
But under that URL error messages are not mentioned at all.</div>

<div>Tthe possibility of the coming into being of the erroneous</div>

<div>behavior/of the incorrect error-message is not mentioned at at all.<br/>
In short: The bug is not spotted there.<br/>
<br/>
So that link can be taken for a nice explanation/clarification<br/>
of how \endinput works.<br/>
<br/>
But it cannot be taken for a report of the incorrect error</div>

<div>message that comes into being when combining \edef and</div>

<div>\input while \endinput is pending, which is linked as "report 2"</div>

<div>leading to the URL <br/>
