% update history:
% version 1.0: This one.
%	release 15 April 1991: This one.
%	release 8 February 1991: Used \next instead of \do_next, which
%		occasionally conflicted with use of \next in other macros.

\input Midnight/loop % CHANGE this filename to correspond to your installation

%%%%%%% Reading from a different file
% This is relatively simple, it can be done with a loop. The read function
% reads a single line (that is what \read does). A file that is being
% \read always ends with an empty line, therefore no test for eof(lines_in)
% is needed in the inner loop.
%
%	 while (!eof(lines_in))
%	   {
%	     read(lines_in, _ln);
%	     if (_ln != empty_ln)
%		{
%		  beforelines();
%		  do { everyline(_ln);
%		       read(lines_in, _ln);
%		  } while (_ln != empty_ln);
%		  afterlines();
%		}
%	   }

%%%%%%% Reading from the current file
% This is more complicated. The problem is that a line can only be
% read at the end of a macro, because otherwise a part of the macro
% itself will be read. Therefore, the above solution with \Loop cannot
% be used. Instead, this is implemented as a finite state machine. The
% FSM has two major states, outer_loop and inner_loop, corresponding to the
% program above. In these states, the value of _ln is used to determine
% what actions to take, and what the next state is. The next state
% is indicated by the control-sequence \do_next.
%    There are two minor states, get_out and get_in. In each of them
% the next line is read into _ln. After get_out, the next state is always
% outer_loop; after get_in it is always inner_loop.
%    Here is a ``picure.'' `(...)' is a state, `...?' denotes the value
% of _ln, and other texts are actions. ctrl-M stands for an empty line.
