public class Import
extends Let

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \import.

The Primitive \import

The primitive \import defines all control sequences exported from the given name space into the current name space. Any definitions with the same name are overwritten.

The definitions are usually performed local to the current group. If the prefix \global is given then the definition is made globally.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:

    ⟨import⟩
      → ⟨prefix⟩ \import ⟨name space⟩

    ⟨prefix⟩
      →
      | \global  

Examples

    \import{de.dante.dtk}

Method Summary

void	assign(Flags prefix, Context context, TokenSource source, Typesetter typesetter) The method assign is the core of the functionality of execute(). This method is preferable to execute() since the execute() method provided in this class takes care of \afterassignment and \globaldefs as well.

Method Detail

assign

public void assign(Flags prefix,
                   Context context,
                   TokenSource source,
                   Typesetter typesetter)
            throws HelpingException,
                   TypesetterException

The method assign is the core of the functionality of execute(). This method is preferable to execute() since the execute() method provided in this class takes care of \afterassignment and \globaldefs as well.

Overrides:

assign in class Let

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix controlling the execution

context - the interpreter context

source - the token source

typesetter - the typesetter

Throws:

HelpingException - in case of an error

TypesetterException - in case of an error in the typesetter
