public class Outer
extends AbstractCode
implements PrefixCode

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

The Prefix Primitive \outer

The primitive \outer 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 \outer prefixes act identical to a single one.

Syntax

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

Examples

    \outer\def#1{--#1--}  
    \outer\outer\def#1{--#1--}
