%D \macros

%D
%D We have followed Knuth in naming macros that make \SPACE,
%D \NEWLINE\ and \NEWPAGE\ active and assigning them
%D \type{\obeysomething}, but first we set some default values.

% These are expandable!

\def\obeyedspace {\space}
\def\obeyedtab   {\obeyedspace}
\def\obeyedline  {\par}
\def\obeyedpage  {\page_otr_fill_and_eject_page}

%D \macros
%D   {controlspace,setcontrolspaces}
%D
%D First we define \type{\obeyspaces}. When we want visible
%D spaces (control spaces) we only have to adapt the definition
%D of \type{\obeyedspace} to:

\chardef\asciispacechar\spaceasciicode % a real space character

\unexpanded\def\naturalspace{\asciispacechar}
\unexpanded\def\controlspace{\hbox{\asciispacechar}}               % rather tex, we need the unicode value
\unexpanded\def\normalspaces{\catcode\spaceasciicode\spacecatcode}

\bgroup
    \catcode\spaceasciicode\activecatcode
    \unexpanded\gdef\obeyspaces{\catcode\spaceasciicode\activecatcode\def {\obeyedspace}}
    \unexpanded\gdef\setcontrolspaces{\catcode\spaceasciicode\activecatcode\def {\controlspace}}
\egroup

%D \macros
%D   {obeytabs, obeylines, obeypages,ignoretabs, ignorelines, ignorepages}
%D
%D Next we take care of \NEWLINE\ and \NEWPAGE\ and because we
%D want to be able to typeset listings that contain \TAB, we
%D have to handle those too. Because we have to redefine the
%D \NEWPAGE\ character locally, we redefine the meaning of
%D this (often already) active character.

\expandafter\def\activeformfeedtoken{\par}

%D The following indirect definitions enable us to implement
%D all kind of \type{\obeyed} handlers.

\unexpanded\def\obeytabs   {\catcode\tabasciicode      \activecatcode\expandafter\def\activetabtoken      {\obeyedtab }}
\unexpanded\def\obeylines  {\catcode\endoflineasciicode\activecatcode\expandafter\def\activeendoflinetoken{\obeyedline}}
\unexpanded\def\obeypages  {\catcode\formfeedasciicode \activecatcode\expandafter\def\activeformfeedtoken {\obeyedpage}}

\unexpanded\def\ignoretabs {\catcode\tabasciicode      \activecatcode\expandafter\def\activetabtoken      {\obeyedspace}}
\unexpanded\def\ignorelines{\catcode\endoflineasciicode\activecatcode\expandafter\def\activeendoflinetoken{\obeyedspace}}
\unexpanded\def\ignorepages{\catcode\formfeedasciicode \ignorecatcode}
\unexpanded\def\ignoreeofs {\catcode\endoffileasciicode\ignorecatcode}

%D \macros
%D   {naturaltextext}
%D
%D When one uses \ETEX, switching to normal \TEX\ is possible
%D too. We also introduce a switch that can be used in the
%D drivers and set in higher level shell macros.

\unexpanded\def\naturaltextext#1\relax % this command will become obsolete
