Class Long

  org.extex.interpreter.type.AbstractCode
      org.extex.unit.tex.prefix.Long

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, Code, PrefixCode

public class Long
extends AbstractCode
implements PrefixCode

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \long. It does simply nothing, but as a side effect the prefix LONG is added to the prefixes.

The Prefix Primitive \long

The primitive \long is a prefix modifying the operation of a following primitive. If the immediately following token denotes another prefix primitives then the functionality is accumulated. This means that the next non-prefix primitive is modified by any directly preceding prefix primitives.

Multiple \long prefixes act identical to a single one.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:

    ⟨long⟩
      → \long  

Examples

    \long\def#1{--#1--}  

    \long\long\def#1{--#1--}

Constructor Detail

Long

public Long(CodeToken token)

Creates a new object.

Parameters:

token - the initial token for the primitive

Method Detail

execute

public void execute(Flags prefix,
                    Context context,
                    TokenSource source,
                    Typesetter typesetter)

This method takes the first token and executes it. The result is placed on the stack. This operation might have side effects. To execute a token it might be necessary to consume further tokens.

Specified by:

execute in interface Code

Overrides:

execute in class AbstractCode

Parameters:

prefix - the prefix controlling the execution

context - the interpreter context

source - the token source

typesetter - the typesetter
