BXbase Package Bundle

: Support library for other BX packages

The main purpose of this bundle is to serve as underlying library to make work other packages created by the same author (their names start with “BX” or “PX”).

However bxbase package contains a few user-level commands and is of some use by itself.

System Requirements

  • format: .
    • engine: Any engine.
    • DVI-ware (in DVI output): Anything.

Package content

  • bxbase.sty: the ‘bxbase’ package
    • bxbase.def: a submodule of ‘bxbase’
    • bxtoolbox.sty: the ‘bxtoolbox’ package
    • bxtoolbox.def: a submodule of ‘bxtoolbox’
    • bxtoolbox-ext.def: a submodule of ‘bxtoolbox’
    • bxtoolbox-ja.def: a submodule of ‘bxtoolbox’
    • bxutf8.def: the ‘bxutf8’ input encoding definition
    • bxutf8x.def: the ‘bxutf8x’ input encoding definition
    • zxbase.sty: the ‘zxbase’ package
    • bxbase-ja.pdf: the user manual for the ‘bxbase’ (in Japanese)
    • bxbase-ja.tex: the source file of bxbase-ja.pdf

Installation

In a system compliant to TDS 1.1, move the files as follows:

  • *.sty, *.def → $TEXMF/tex/latex/BXbase

And rehash your TEXMF trees if necessary.

bxbase Package ― The base library

This package provides many package-level features, which are required by other packages created by the same author.

It also contains some user-level commands, but most of such commands have been deprecated since v1.1, except a few which are related to inputting Japanese text.

Unfortunately the documentation is available only in Japanese. (However, those unfamiliar with the Japanese language will probably have no need to load this package directly.)

bxtoolbox Package ― To emulate etoolbox on non-

The main goal of this package is to provide part of the functions of the etoolbox package for engines without extension. (Note that users in Japan have long used the p engine for writing Japanese, and extention for that engine did not appear until around 2010.)

Note that when this package is loaded in engines, then it loads the real etoolbox and uses the functions of that package.

functions provided by this package

Below is the list:

\AfterPreamble \AtEndPreamble \AfterEndPreamble
\AfterEndDocument
\csdef \csgdef \csedef \csxdef
\cslet \letcs \csletcs \undef \csundef
\appto \gappto \eappto \xappto

\newbool \providebool \booltrue \boolfalse
\setbool \ifbool \notbool
\newtoggle \providetoggle \toggletrue \togglefalse
\settoggle \iftoggle \nottoggle
\ifdef \ifundef
\ifstrequal \ifstrempty

“Fakes” provided by this package

These commands have a name of the original command prefixed by “bx”, that is, \bxZzz instead of \zzz. Some come in two versions: \bxZzz works as \zzz but is lack of expandability \zzz has, whereas \bxZzzX is expandable as \zzz is but otherwise flawed.

  • \bxNewrobustcmd: Uses -protect instead of \protected.
    • \bxRenewrobustcmd: Ditto.
    • \bxProviderobustcmd: Ditto.
    • \bxRobustify: Ditto.
    • \bxCsuse: Forbidden in moving arguments.
    • \bxCsuseX: Suffering from \relax’ifying.
    • \bxCsshow: Forbidden in moving arguments.
    • \bxIfcsdef: Forbidden in moving arguments.
    • \bxIfcsundef: Forbidden in moving arguments.
    • \bxIfcsundefX: Suffering from \relax’ifying.

Note: On extended engines, these commands are simply aliases to the real commands of etoolbox.

zxbase Package ― The base library for

This package provides -specific features, which are required by other packages created by the same author.

For the present this package contains no public features.
