However, sometimes the problem is % only noticed by \TeX{}, and in that case \TeX{} insists on % getting a valid file name; any other attempt to leave this % error loop will fail.\footnote{On some systems, \TeX{} % accepts a special character denoting the end of file to % return from this loop, e.g.\ Control-D on UNIX or Control-Z % on DOS.} Many users try to respond in the same way as to % normal error messages, e.g.\ by typing \meta{return}, or |s| % or |x|, but \TeX{} will interpret this as a file name and % will ask again. % \par To provide a graceful exit out of this loop, we define % a number of files which emulate the normal behavior of % \TeX{} in the error loop as far as possible. % \par After installing these files the user can respond with % |h|, |s|, |e|, |x|, and on some systems also with % \meta{return} to \TeX's missing file name question. % \StopEventually{} % % \section{The documentation driver} % This code will generate the documentation. Since it is the % first piece of code in the file, the documentation can be % obtained by simply processing this file with \LaTeXe. % \begin{macrocode} %<*driver> \documentclass{ltxdoc} \begin{document} \DocInput{fileerr.dtx} \end{document} % % \end{macrocode} % \section{The files} % % \subsection{Asking for help with {\tt h}} % When the user types |h| in the file error loop \TeX{} will % look for the file |h.tex|. In this file we put a message % informing the user about the situation (we use |^^J| to % start new lines in the message) and then finish with a % normal |\errmessage| command thereby bringing up \TeX's % normal error mechanism. % \begin{macrocode} %<*help> \newlinechar=`\^^J \message{!The file name provided could not be found.^^J% Use `' to continue processing,^^J% `S' to scroll further errors^^J% or `X' to terminate TeX} \errmessage{} % % \end{macrocode} % % \subsection{Scrolling this and further errors with {\tt s}} % For the response |s| we put a message into the file |s.tex| % and start |\scrollmode| to scroll further error messages in % this run. On systems that allow |.tex| as a file name we % can also trap a single \meta{return} from the user. % \begin{macrocode} %<+scroll|return> \message{File ignored} %<+scroll> \scrollmode % \end{macrocode} % % \subsection{Exiting the run with {\tt x} or {\tt e}} % If the user enters |x| or |e| to stop \TeX{}, we need to % put something into the corresponding file which will force % \TeX{} to give up. We achieve this by turning off terminal % output and then asking \TeX{} to stop: first by using the % internal \LaTeX{} name |\@@end|, and if that doesn't work % because something other than \LaTeX{} is used, by trying the % \TeX{} primitive |\end|. % \begin{macrocode} %<+edit|exit> \batchmode \@@end \end % \end{macrocode} % We end every file with an explicit |\endinput| which prevents % the docstrip program from putting the character table into % the generated files. % \begin{macrocode} \endinput % \end{macrocode} %% \CharacterTable %% {Upper-case \A\B\C\D\E\F\G\H\I\J\K\L\M\N\O\P\Q\R\S\T\U\V\W\X\Y\Z %% Lower-case \a\b\c\d\e\f\g\h\i\j\k\l\m\n\o\p\q\r\s\t\u\v\w\x\y\z %% Digits \0\1\2\3\4\5\6\7\8\9 %% Exclamation \!
