public class Ifcsname
extends AbstractIf

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \ifcsname.

The Primitive \ifcsname

The primitive \ifcsname checks if a certain control sequence is defined. For this purpose it collects tokens in the same way as \csname does until \endcsname is encountered. It does not define the control sequence if it is not defined.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:
    ⟨ifcsname⟩
      → \ifcsname ... \endcsname ⟨true text⟩ \fi
       |  \ifcsname ... \endcsname ⟨true text⟩ \else ⟨false text⟩ \fi  

Examples

     \ifcsname def\endcsname ok\fi

                       throws InterpreterException
Description copied from class: AbstractIf
This method computes the boolean value of the conditional. If the result is true then the then branch is expanded and the else branch is skipped. Otherwise the then branch is skipped and the else branch is expanded.

Specified by:
conditional in class AbstractIf
Parameters:
context - the interpreter context
source - the source for new tokens
typesetter - the typesetter
Returns:
the boolean value
Throws:
InterpreterException - in case of en error
