<tmdoc-title|Environment primitives>
|
|
|
|
The current environment both defines all style parameters which affect the
|
|
typesetting process and all additional macros provided by the user and the
|
|
current style. The primitives in this section are used to access and modify
|
|
environment variables.

<explain-macro|assign|var|val><explain-synopsis|variable mutation>
|
|
<|explain>
|
|
This primitive sets the environment variable named <src-arg|var> (string
|
|
value) to the value of the <src-arg|val> expression. This primitive is
|
|
used to make non-scoped changes to the environment, like defining markup
|
|
or increasing counters.
|
|
|
|
This primitive affects the evaluation process <emdash>through
|
|
<markup|value>, <markup|provides>, and macro definitions<emdash> and the
|
|
typesetting process <emdash>through special typesetter variables.

<\example>
|
|
Enabling page breaking by style.
|
|
|
|
The <verbatim|page-medium> is used to enable page breaking. Since only
|
|
the <re-index|initial environment> value for this variable is
|
|
effective, this assignation must occur in a style file, not within a
|
|
document.
|
|
|
|
<\tm-fragment>
|
|
<inactive*|<assign|page-medium|paper>>
|
|
</tm-fragment>
|
|
</example>

<\example>
|
|
Setting the chapter counter.
|
|
|
|
The following snippet will cause the immediately following chapter to
|
|
be number 3. This is useful to get the the numbering right in
|
|
<verbatim|book> style when working with projects and <markup|include>.
|
|
|
|
<\tm-fragment>
|
|
<inactive*|<assign|chapter-nr|2>>
|
|
</tm-fragment>
|
|
</example>
|
|
|
|
The operand must be a literal string and is interpreted as a file name.
|
|
The content of this file is typeset in place of the <markup|include> tag,
|
|
which must be placed in <re-index|block context>.

|

<explain-macro|with|var-1|val-1|<with|mode|math|\<cdots\>>|var-n|val-n|body><explain-synopsis|variable
|
|
scope>
|
|
<|explain>
|
|
This primitive temporarily sets the environment variables <src-arg|var-1>
|
|
until <src-arg|var-n> (in this order) to the evaluated values of
|
|
<src-arg|val-1> until <src-arg|val-n> and typesets <src-arg|body> in this
|
|
modified environment. All non-scoped change done with <markup|assign> to
|
|
<src-arg|var-1> until <src-arg|var-n> within <src-arg|body> are reverted
|
|
at the end of the <markup|with>.
|
|
|
|
This primitive is used extensively in style files to modify the
|
|
typesetter environment. For example to locally set the text font, the
|
|
paragraph style, or the mode for mathematics.

<explain-macro|value|var><explain-synopsis|variable value>
|
|
<|explain>
|
|
This primitive evaluates the current value of the environment variable
|
|
<src-var|var> (literal string). This is useful to display counters and
|
|
generally to implement environment-sensitive behavior.

<\explain>
|
|
<explain-macro|provides|var><explain-synopsis|definition predicate>
|
|
<|explain>
|
|
This predicate evaluates to <verbatim|true> if the environment variable
|
|
<src-var|var> (string value) is defined, and to <verbatim|false>
|
|
otherwise.
|
|
|
|
That is useful for modular markup, like the <markup|session>
|
|
environments, to fall back to a default appearance when a required
|
|
package is not used in the document.
