Contrary to the name of the package, non-macros and groups of macros can be put into an item of the list. % \end{abstract} % % \section{Usage} % The scope of lists is always global. This provides the most consistency and functionality for developers in places that are usually local (part of a group), such as environments and loops. % % \DescribeMacro{\macronewlist} % To create a list, pass in |\macronewlist{listname}| to create a list with the name \textsf{listname}. % % The package checks that \textsf{listname} is not the name of another list, and will throw an error if another list \textsf{listname} has already been defined. % % \iffalse \newcommand{\macronewlist}[1]{ \ifcsname c@macrolist@list@#1\endcsname \PackageError{macrolist}{The list '#1' is already defined}{} \else \newcounter{macrolist@list@#1} \setcounter{macrolist@list@#1}{0} \fi } % \fi % % \changes{v1.1.0}{2021/07/22}{Add listexists} % \DescribeMacro{\macrolistexists} % Writing |\macrolistexists{listname}{true}{false}| will execute \textsf{true} if \textsf{listname} exists and \textsf{false} otherwise. % % \iffalse \newcommand{\macrolistexists}[3]{\ifcsname c@macrolist@list@#1\endcsname#2\else#3\fi} % \fi % % \DescribeMacro{\macrolistelement} % % To execute the \textsf{i}th element of \textsf{listname}, write |\macrolistelement{listname}{i}|.
