The % method is the same as on pages 346--347 of the \TeX book, however, % the declare macros are intended for local use only. It is a logical % error to use a new macro between a declare macro and the end of the % appropriate enclosing group. % \def\declarecount {\allocate0\countdef}% \def\declaredimen {\allocate1\dimendef}% \def\declareskip {\allocate2\skipdef}% \def\declaremuskip{\allocate3\muskipdef}% \def\declarebox {\allocate4\chardef}% \def\declaretoks {\allocate5\toksdef}% % \def\allocate#1#2#3{\relax \advance\count1#1 by 1 \ifnum\count1#1<\count20 \else \errmessage{No room for \string#3!}% \fi #2#3=\count1#1 }% % \endinput
