tex-extensions

Proposals for extensions to TeX.

A bundle of proposals for extensions to TeX, implemented as change files to web2c v7.2. The extesions cover:

  • replacing floating point by integer arithmetic, in glue calculations;
  • introducing hyphenation classes (with a corresponding change to patgen);
  • implenting demerits for more than 2 consecutive hyphens;
  • providing ‘nestable’ and ‘under’ math accents; a primitive to switch to ‘cramped’ styles; provides generalised radicals with a left- and right-delimiter; implementation work for using the hz algorithm;
  • marginal tokens for hanging punctuation and hyphens.

Several files offering examples of use are also provided.
