public class Long
extends AbstractCode
implements PrefixCode

This class provides an implementation for the primitive \long. It does simply nothing, but as a side effect the prefix LONG is added to the prefixes.

The Prefix Primitive \long

The primitive \long is a prefix modifying the operation of a following primitive. If the immediately following token denotes another prefix primitives then the functionality is accumulated. This means that the next non-prefix primitive is modified by any directly preceding prefix primitives.

Multiple \long prefixes act identical to a single one.

Syntax

The formal description of this primitive is the following:
    ⟨long⟩
      → \long  

Examples

    \long\def#1{--#1--}  
    \long\long\def#1{--#1--}
