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

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

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

\immutable\chardef\asciispacechar\spaceasciicode % a real space character

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

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

%permanent\protected\def\obeyspaces      {\catcode\spaceasciicode\activecatcode\letcharcode\spaceasciicode\obeyedspace }
%permanent\protected\def\setcontrolspaces{\catcode\spaceasciicode\activecatcode\letcharcode\spaceasciicode\controlspace}

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

% \expandafter\def\activeformfeedtoken{\par}

\letcharcode\formfeedasciicode\par

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

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

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

% but ... as we don't want to freeze to \obeyedspace etc which can be set after
% \obeyspaces, we use an idirectness
