\immediate \write \openout \closeout

Im Folgenden denieren wir die TEX primitives \immediate, \write, \openout und \closeout um. Alle nicht immediate ausgef uhrten Anweisungen werden dem Makro \@@@pending@outs (Kommaliste) hinzugef ugt. So k onnen speziell die \write-Anweisungen unabh angig von TEXs \shipout zu einem g unstigen Zeitpunkt ausgef uhrt werden. For VTEX we must keep in mind that \immediate\special exist.

\@@@exec@outs

With the call of \@@@exec@outs we simulate TEXs execution of non-immediate output commands. The number of pending commands which can be executed must be decremented by \value{@@total@outs} \botmarks\@@@out@mark. The remaining commands must still wait until the next output page is ready. It works only for output commands in the main text which moved to the next page but not for oating output commands.

\setmargins

Changing the page dimensions

User command to specify the margins. (o, u, l, r) \setmargins{ top }{ bottom }{ left }{ right } The new user interface! By default, the leaet class does not use headings, footings and marginal notes. If the user desires, these can be restored by setting the respective lengths before calling \setmargins. Setting the margins should always be done using \setmargins; if the user assigns to any of the length registers \topmargin, \evensidemargin, \oddsidemargin using \setlength, chaos will happen.

\AddToBackground \AddToBackground*

Adds the given parameter #2 (some picture commands) to a macro which will be used inside a zero-dimensional picture environment located at the lower left corner of a page. Parameter #1 selects the page number. The star version adds the picture commands to the background of one of the combined large pages instead of one of the small pages.

Reassembling the small pages

A Here begins the real output using L TEXs original \shipout. The everyshi package isnt active any more. The begin dvi hook is reactivated. 450 451 452 453 454 455 456

\LL@shipoutPage

A This is similar to L TEXs \@outputpage, but without a group; \set@display@protect seems to work as well.

\LL@preparePages \LL@preparePage

Helper macros for page output: reassemble the small pages.

\newcommand*\LL@shipoutPage[1]{% \set@display@protect \let \protect \noexpand \shipout\vb@xt@\paperheight{% \set@typeset@protect \vskip-1in% \@begindvi\hb@xt@\paperwidth{\hskip-1in##1\hss}\vss}}% \newcommand*\LL@preparePages[3]{% \typeout{[\@Roman{##1}\space\@Roman{##2}\space\@Roman{##3}] ==>}%

Add a background picture to a large page.

Combine and output the frontside and the backside. The option two part arranges the pages in a dierent than the natural order, to allow the typesetting of a 4 page leaet and a detachable 2 page form, for summaries, ll-in forms, applications, questionnaires, etc.
