README for the `catcodes' bundle
(C) Uwe Lueck 2012/09/20
The `catcodes' bundle deals with category code switching.
The contained packages should work with LaTeX as well as without
(based on the `plainpkg' package). The important cases of category
codes are
(a) "private letters" for internal package commands and
(b) active characters.
`stacklet.sty' deals with (a), `actcodes.sty' with (b).
There also is
(c) `catchdq.sty', an application of (b),
for automatic insertion of typographical double quotes
when the user only enters ASCII double quotes. What is
"typographical" differs between languages, the new `langcode'
package completes `catchdq''s functionality in this respect.
The documentation for the three package files is contained
in the file `catcodes.pdf'.
REQUIRED PACKAGES: plainpkg, stacklet
RELATED PACKAGES: catoptions, pcatcode (amsrefs), texapi, csquotes
KEYWORDs: macro programming, category codes, private letters,
active characters, double quotes
The package files `actcodes.sty', `catchdq.sty', and
`stacklet.sty', together with the documentation files
`catcodes.pdf' and `catcodes.tex', can be redistributed and/or

experimental.

catcodes – Generic handling of TeX category codes
The bundle deals with category code switching; the packages of the
bundle should work with any TeX format (with the support of the
plainpkg package).
The bundle provides:
– stacklet.sty, which supports stacks that control the
use of different catcodes;
– actcodes.sty, which deals with active characters; and
– catchdq.sty, which provides a simple quotation
character control mechanism.
