Class Showthe

java.lang.Object

      org.extex.unit.tex.info.Showthe

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, LogEnabled, Code

public class Showthe
extends AbstractCode
implements LogEnabled

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \showthe.

The Primitive \showthe

The primitive \showthe produces on the terminal and the error log the exact result as the primitive \the. the tokens are preceded by a greater sign (>) and followed by a period (.).

If the token following the primitive is not applicable to \the then an error s raised.

Different entities might have different ideas about what the result of this primitive is. In doubt consult the documentation of the primitive.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:

    ⟨showthe⟩
      → \showthe ⟨internal quantity⟩  

Examples

    \toks2={UTF-8}
    \showthe\toks2
    → > UTF-(.

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
