Bijlage 8 Minimal markup expansion in the gullet , aha !

A plea is made for a reappraisal of TEX’s capabilities of expansion in the gullet of minimal marked up scripts into complete marked up scripts. Attention is focused on expansion of implicitly marked up table data by spaces and e-o-l-s into data separated by \cs and \rs , the abstract but explicit column and row separators, respectively. The ultimate aim is that the processing tool can’t be distilled from the ‘marked up’ script. keywords BLUe, crosswords, expansion, fifo, look ahead, macro writing, minimal markup, mouth processing, preprocessing, tables, tail recursion
