Otherwise, \textsf{true branch} will be executed. % % \DescribeMacro{\orcheck} % % To add strings to the set that \textsf{string} will be compared to, we must write |\orcheck{setstring}| inside the corresponding \textsf{allfalse} environment. Then, \textsf{action} will not execute if \textsf{string} matches \textsf{setstring} or any arguments of previous |\orcheck| declarations. % % If no |\orcheck| declarations exist, then \textsf{action} will always be executed. % % \subsection{Error Checking} % % The package checks whether the macro |\orcheck| is used inside an \textsf{allfalse} environment. If it is not, the package throws an error. % % \section{Example} % % Here is a simple example to demonstrate how \textsf{allfalse} is used. % % \changes{v2.0.0}{2021/07/22}{Change allfalse environment to match update} % \changes{v2.0.0}{2021/07/22}{Use ifallfalse package in example} % \begin{verbatim} %\documentclass{minimal} %\usepackage{ifallfalse} % %\begin{document} % %\begin{allfalse}{purple}{}{This color is not red, blue, or green!} % \orcheck{red} % \orcheck{blue} % \orcheck{green} %\end{allfalse} % %\end{document} % \end{verbatim} % % In this case, because \textsf{purple} does not match \textsf{red}, \textsf{blue}, or \textsf{green}, the false branch --- which is \textsf{This color is not red, blue, or green!} --- will execute at that location inside the document. % % \section{Implementation} % % These are the implementation details of package \textsf{allfalse}. Because the package is so short, we can explain everything. % % \changes{v2.0.0}{2021/07/22}{Create true and false branch} % \begin{environment}{allfalse} % When setting up allfalse, we locally define the |\comparedstring| macro with the first argument that the environment takes in. This is what will be compared against all the strings passed in through the |\orcheck| declarations inside the environment. % % Then, we define our body of logic (which we will be adding onto through |\orcheck|) to just initially consist of the action we would like to perform if |\comparedstring| matches none of the strings passed in through |\orcheck|. % % Finally, we execute our logicbody, which will change |\ifallfalse@branch| to be false if appropriate. Then, the appropriate action will be executed. % \begin{macrocode} \newenvironment{allfalse}[3] {% \newif\ifallfalse@branch\allfalse@branchtrue% \def\comparedstring{#1}% \def\trueaction{#2}% \def\falseaction{#3}% \def\logicbody{\protect\allfalse@branchfalse}% } {% \logicbody% \ifallfalse@branch \trueaction% \else \falseaction% \fi } % \end{macrocode} % \end{environment} % % \begin{macro}{\orcheck} % We first save \textsf{allfalse} to a macro so we can use |\ifx| to compare the current environment name against it. If we can, then we add some following (somewhat convoluted) code to |\logicbody|. I will explain what each piece of it does, though not in the order the pieces of code appear. % \begin{itemize} % \item |\ifx\@currenvir\@allfalsename| evaluates to true if the current environment (whose name is saved to the macro |\@currenvir|) matches the name of |\@allfalsename|, or \textsf{allfalse}. % \item If it evaluates to \textsf{false}, the package throws an error. % \item The line |\pdfstrcmp{\comparedstring}{#1}=0| evaluates to true when put with |\ifnum| if the two arguments passed into |\pdfstrcmp| are equal, because |pdfstrcmp| compares their lexographical order and returns 0 if the two strings are lexographically equivalent. % \item Thus, we can treat |\ifnum\pdfstrcmp{\comparedstring}{#1}=0| as an expression that evaluates to true if |\comparedstring| and |#1| match, and false otherwise. % \item When all is said and done, the logic reduces to something of the form % \begin{verbatim} % \if\else % \if\else % \ldots \allfalse@branchfalse % \fi\ldots \fi % \end{verbatim} % Logically, |\allfalse@branchfalse| will only execute if all the conditions are false; in other words, it will only execute if |\comparedstring| does not match any of the strings passed in via |\orcheck|. This is because each |\else| branch must execute. % \end{itemize} % \begin{macrocode} \newcommand*\@allfalsename{allfalse} \newcommand{\orcheck}[1]{ \ifx\@currenvir\@allfalsename \protected@edef\logicbody{ \ifnum\pdfstrcmp{\comparedstring}{#1}=0\else\logicbody\fi } \else \PackageError{ifallfalse}{ \protect\orcheck\space should be nested within the allfalse environment }{} \fi } % \end{macrocode} % \end{macro} % % \section{Limitations} % % This package cannot be used in the \textsf{lualatex} engine. % % \Finale \endinput
