% \subsection{Saved versions of \TeX{} primitives}
%
%  The TeX primitive |\foo| is saved as |\@@foo|.
%  The following primitives are handled in this way:
% \begin{macro}{\@@par}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@@par=\par
%\let\@@input=\input    %%% moved earlier
%\let\@@end=\end        %%%
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@hyph}
% Save original primitive definition.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@@hyph=\-
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
%
%  \begin{macro}{\@@italiccorr}
% Save the original italic correction.
% \changes{v1.0a}{1994/03/07}{Macro added}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@@italiccorr=\/
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%  \begin{macro}{\@height}
%  \begin{macro}{\@depth}
%  \begin{macro}{\@width}

% \changes{LaTeX2e}{1993/11/22}{Macro added}
%  \begin{macro}{\@plus}
% \changes{LaTeX2e}{1993/11/22}{Macro added}
%
%    The following definitions save token space.  E.g., using
%    |\@height| instead of height saves 5 tokens at the cost in time
%    of one macro expansion.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@height{height} \def\@depth{depth} \def\@width{width}
\def\@minus{minus}
\def\@plus{plus}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \begin{macro}{\hb@xt@}

%    The next one is another 100 tokens worth.

%
% \subsection{Command definitions}
%
% This section defines the following commands:
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@namedef}\marg{NAME}\\ Expands to |\def\|\meta{NAME},
%   except name can contain any characters.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@nameuse}\marg{NAME}\\
%   Expands to |\|\meta{NAME}.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@ifnextchar} X\marg{YES}\marg{NO}\\
%    Expands to \meta{YES} if next character is an `X',
%          and to \meta{NO} otherwise.
%          (Uses |\reserved@a|--|\reserved@c|.)
%          NOTE: GOBBLES ANY SPACE FOLLOWING IT.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@ifstar}\marg{YES}\marg{NO}\\
%          Gobbles following spaces and then tests if next the
%          character is a '*'.  If it is, then it gobbles the
%   `*' and expands to \meta{YES}, otherwise it expands to \meta{NO}.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@dblarg}\marg{CMD}\marg{ARG}\\
%     Expands to |\|\marg{CMD}\oarg{ARG}\marg{ARG}.  Use
%          |\@dblarg\CS| when |\CS| takes arguments |[ARG1]{ARG2}|,
%          where default is| ARG1| = |ARG2|.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@ifundefined}\marg{NAME}\marg{YES}\marg{NO}\\
%          : If \cs{NAME} is undefined then it executes \meta{YES},
%            otherwise it executes \meta{NO}.  More precisely,
%            true if \cs{NAME} either undefined or = |\relax|.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  {\@ifdefinable}|\NAME|\marg{YES}
%       Executes \meta{YES} if the user is allowed to define |\NAME|,
%            otherwise it gives an error.  The user can define |\NAME|
%            if |\@ifundefined{NAME}| is true, '|NAME|' $\neq$ '|relax|'
%            and the first three letters of '|NAME|' are not
%           '|end|', and if |\endNAME| is not defined.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \newcommand|*|\marg{\cs{FOO}}\oarg{i}\marg{TEXT}\\
%         User command to define |\FOO| to be a macro with
%            i arguments (i = 0 if missing) having the definition
%            \meta{TEXT}.  Produces an error if |\FOO| already
%            defined.
%
%            Normally the command is defined to be |\long| (ie it may
%            take multiple paragraphs in its argument). In the
%            star-form, the command is not defined as |\long| and a
%            blank line in any argument to the command would generate
%            an error.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \renewcommand|*|\marg{\cs{FOO}}\oarg{i}\marg{TEXT}\\
%  Same as |\newcommand|, except it checks if |\FOO| already defined.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \newenvironment|*|\marg{FOO}\oarg{i}\marg{DEF1}\marg{DEF2}\\
%         equivalent to:\\
%         |\newcommand{\FOO}[i]{DEF1}| |\def{\endFOO}{DEF2}|\\
% (or the appropriate star forms).
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \renewenvironment\\ Obvious companion to |\newenvironment|.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \@cons : See description of |\output| routine.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\@car}
%  |\@car T1 T2 ... Tn\@nil| == |T1|  (unexpanded)
%
% \DescribeMacro{\@cdr}
%  |\@cdr T1 T2 ... Tn\@ni|l == |T2 ... Tn|     (unexpanded)
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \typeout\marg{message}\\ Produces a warning message on the terminal.
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \typein\marg{message}\\
%        Types message, asks the user to type in a command, then
%            executes it
%
% \DescribeMacro
%  \typein\oarg{\cs{CS}}\marg{MSG}\\
%  Same as above, except defines |\CS| to be the input
%                      instead of executing it.
%

%
%    These generate a primitive argument specification, from a
%    \LaTeX\ |[|\meta{digit}|]| form; in fact \meta{digit} can be
%    anything such that |\number|~\meta{digit} is single digit.
%
%    Reorganised slightly so that |\renewcommand{\reserved@a}[1]{foo}|
%    works.  I am not sure this is worth it, as a following
%    |\newcommand| would over-write the definition of |\reserved@a|.
%
%    Recall that \LaTeX2.09 goes into an infinite loop with\\
%    |\renewcommand[1]{\@tempa}{foo}|\\
%    (DPC 6 October 93).
%
%    Reorganised again (DPC 1999). Rather than make a loop to
%    construct the argument spec by counting, just extract the
%    required argument spec by using a delimited argument (delimited
%    by the digit).  This is faster and uses less tokens. The coding
%    is slightly odd to preserve the old interface (using |#2| =
%    |\tw@| as the flag to surround the first argument with |[]|).  But
%    the new method did not allow for the number of arguments |#3| not
%    being given as an explicit digit; hence (further expansion of
%    this argument and use of) |\number| was added later in 1999.
%
%    It is not clear why these are still |\long|.

% Fragile and robust commands are one of the thornier issues in
% \LaTeX's commands.  Whilst typesetting documents, \LaTeX{} makes use
% of many of \TeX's features, such as arithmetic, defining macros, and
% setting variables.  However, there are (at least) three different
% occasions when these commands are not safe.  These are called
% `moving arguments' by \LaTeX, and consist of:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item writing information to a file, such as indexes or tables of
%    contents.
% \item writing information to the screen.
% \item inside an |\edef|, |\message|, |\mark|, or other command which
%    evaluates its argument fully.
% \end{itemize}
% The method \LaTeX{} uses for making fragile commands robust is to
% precede them with |\protect|.  This can have one of four possible
% values:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |\relax|, for normal typesetting.  So |\protect\foo| will
%    execute |\foo|.
% \item |\string|, for writing to the screen.  So |\protect\foo| will
%    write |\foo|.
% \item |\noexpand|, for writing to a file.  So |\protect\foo| will
%    write |\foo| followed by a space.
% \item |\@unexpandable@protect|, for writing a moving argument to a
%    file.  So |\protect\foo| will write |\protect\foo| followed by a
%    space.  This value is also used inside |\edef|s, |\mark|s and
%    other commands which evaluate their arguments fully.
%    More precisely, whenever the content of an |\edef| or |\xdef| etc.\
%    can contain arbitrary user input not under the direct control of the
%    programmer, one should use |\proetected@edef| instead of |\edef|, etc.,
%    so that |\protect| has a suitable definition and the user input will
%    not break if it contains fragile commands.

% \changes{v1.5v}{2025-06-26}{New macro}
%    This is a package-writers command, which has the same syntax as
%    |\newcommand|, but which declares a protected command.  It does
%    this by having\\
%    |\DeclareRobustCommand\foo|\\
%    define |\foo| to be
%    |\protect\foo<space>|,\\
%    and then use |\newcommand\foo<space>|.\\
%    Since the internal command is |\foo<space>|, when it is written
%    to an auxiliary file, it will appear as |\foo|.
%
%    We have to be a
%    bit cleverer if we're defining a short command, such as |\_|, in
%    order to make sure that the auxiliary file does not include a
%    space after the command, since |\_ a| and |\_a| aren't the same.
%    In this case we define |\_| to be:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \x@protect\_\protect\_<space>
%\end{verbatim}
%    which expands to:
%\begin{verbatim}
%    \ifx\protect\@typeset@protect\else
%       \@x@protect@\_
%    \fi
%    \protect\_<space>
%\end{verbatim}
%    Then if |\protect| is |\@typeset@protect| (normally |\relax|)
%    then we just perform |\_<space>|, and otherwise
%    |\@x@protect@| gobbles everything up and expands to
%    |\protect\_|. None of that works with an active char (as we have only one
%    character token to play with), so we resort to using the engine mechanism
%    there. (The braces in passing |#1| there are defensive in case someone has
%    passed more than one token!)
%
%    \emph{Note}: setting |\protect| to any value other than |\relax|
%    whilst in `typesetting' mode will cause commands to go into an
%    infinite loop!  In particular, setting |\protect| to |\@empty| will
%    cause |\_| to loop forever.  It will also break lots of other
%    things, such as protected |\ifmmode|s inside |\halign|s.  If you
%    really have to do such a thing, then please set
%    |\@typeset@protect| to be |\@empty| as well.  (This is what the
%    code for |\patterns| does, for example.)

%   With most document level commands being robust now there is more of a
%   requirement to have a standard way of aliasing (or copying) a command to a
%   new name, for example to save an original definition before changing a
%   command.  \cs{DeclareCommandCopy} is analogous to \TeX's \cs{let}, except
%   that it copes with the different types of robust commands defined by
%   \LaTeX's mechanisms.
%
%   A couple of ``types of robustness'' are defined by the \LaTeXe{} kernel,
%   namely robust commands defined with \cs{DeclareRobustCommand} and commands
%   with optional arguments defined with \cs{newcommand}.  However there are
%   other types of robust commands that are frequently used, which are not
%   defined in the \LaTeXe{} kernel, like commands defined with
%   \textsf{xparse}'s \cs{NewDocumentCommand} and \textsf{etoolbox}'s
%   \cs{newrobustcmd}.
%
%   In this section we will define a generic extensible machinery to act on
%   robust commands.  This code will then be used to test if a command is
%   robust, considered the different types of robustness, and then either copy
%   that definition, if \cs{DeclareCommandCopy} (or similar) is used, or show
%   the definition of the command, if \cs{ShowCommand} is used.
%
% \begin{macro}{\robust@command@act}
% \changes{v1.5k}{2020/08/19}{Made \cs{robust@command@act}
%     (was \cs{declare@command@copy}) more generic}
%
%   The looping machinery is generic and knows nothing about what is to be done
%   for each case.  The syntax of the main macro \cs{robust@command@act} is:
%   \begin{quote}
%     |\robust@command@act|\meta{action-list}\meta{robust-cmd}\\
%       \meta{fallback-action}\meta{act-arg}
%   \end{quote}
%   \meta{action-list} is a token list of the form:
%   \begin{quote}
%     |{|\meta{if-type-1} \meta{act-type-1}|}|\\
%     |{|\meta{if-type-2} \meta{act-type-2}|}|\\
%     \ldots
%   \end{quote}
%   \cs{robust@command@act} will iterate over the \meta{action-list}, evaluating
%   each \meta{if-type-$n$} \meta{robust-cmd} |{|\meta{true}|}{|\meta{false}|}|.
%   If the \meta{if-type-$n$} conditional returns \meta{true}, then
%   \meta{act-type-$n$}\meta{act-arg} is executed, and the loop ends.  If the
%   conditional returns \meta{false}, then \meta{if-type-$n+1$} is executed in
%   the same way, until either one of the conditionals return \meta{true}, or
%   the end of the \meta{action-list} is reached.  If the end is reached, then
%   \meta{fallback-action}\meta{act-arg} is executed before
%   \cs{robust@command@act} exits.
%
%   \cs{robust@command@act} will start by using \cs{robust@command@act@chk@args}
%   to check if the \meta{robust-cmd} (|#2|) is a parameterless (possibly
%   \cs{protected}) macro.  If it is not, the command is not a robust command:
%   these always start with a parameterless user-level macro;  in that case,
%   \cs{robust@command@act@end} is used to short-circuit the process and do the
%   \meta{fallback-action} (|#3|).  This first test is necessary because later
%   on we need to be able to expand the \meta{robust-cmd} without the risk of it
%   Breaking Badly, and as a bonus, this speeds up the process in case we used
%   \cs{NewCommandCopy} in a ``normal'' macro.

%
%   \cs{NewCommandCopy} starts by checking if \verb=#1= is already defined, and
%   raises an error if so, otherwise the definition is carried out.
%   \cs{RenewCommandCopy} does (almost) the opposite.  If the command is
%   \emph{not} defined, then an error is raised.  But the definition is carried
%   out anyhow, so the behaviour is consistent with \cs{renewcommand}.
%
%   A \cs{ProvideCommandCopy} isn't defined because it's not reasonably useful.
%   \verb=\provide...= commands mean ``define this if there's no other
%   definition'', but copying a command (usually) implies that the command being
%   copied is defined, so \cs{ProvideCommandCopy} doesn't make a lot of sense.
%   But more importantly, the most common use case of copying a command is to
%   redefine it later, while preserving the old definition, as in:
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \ProvideCommandCopy \A \B
%   \renewcommand \B { ... \A ... }
% \end{verbatim}
%   then, if \verb=\A= is already defined the first line is skipped, an in this
%   case \verb=\B= won't work as expected.
%
%   The three versions call the internal \cs{declare@commandcopy} with the
%   proper action.  \cs{@firstofone} will carry out the copy.  The only case
%   when the copy is not made is the \meta{false} case for \cs{NewCommandCopy},
%   in which the command already exists and the definition is aborted.

% \end{macro}
% Moved here to be after the definition of |\DeclareRobustCommand|.
%
% The primitive |\-| command adds a discretionary hyphen using the
% current font's |\hyphenchar|. Monospace fonts are usually declared
% with |\hyphenchar| set to $-1$ to suppress hyphenation.
%
% \LaTeX, from \LaTeX2.09 in 1986 defined |\-| by
% \begin{verbatim}
% \def\-{\discretionary{-}{}{}}
% \end{verbatim}
%  The following comment was added when these commands were first set
%  up, 19 April 1986:
% \begin{quote}
%  the |\-| command is redefined to allow it to work in the |\ttfamily|
%  type style, where automatic hyphenation is suppressed by setting
%  |\hyphenchar| to~$-1$. The original primitive \TeX{} definition is
%  saved as |\@@hyph| just in case anyone needs it.
% \end{quote}
%
% \LaTeXe, between 1993 and 2017, had a comment at this point
% saying that the definition ``would probably change'' because
% the definition always uses |-|. The definition used below
% was given in comments at this point during time.
%
% In 2017 we finally enabled this definition by default, with the
% older \LaTeX\ definition accessible via \textsf{latexrelease}
% as usual.
%
% In Lua\LaTeX\ the primitive definition of \cs{-} is used directly
% because it's use of extended hyphenation parameters means that \cs{-}
% works correctly even with \cs{hyphenchar} set to $-1$. This change
% makes \cs{-} under Lua\LaTeX\ compatible with language specific
% hyphenation characters.
