Can you use attributes there? Then you can test whether certain attributes are
in a paragraph and apply your code.
Yes, and I do in fact. But I'm not sure how this solves my problem here?
Maybe I'll be more precise on what I want to do:
I've written a function randomcolor that inserts a color whatsit before
(push) and after (pull) every glyph in a paragraph, using the
post_linebreak_filter. Now I want to provide a command
\textrandomcolor{} that does the same, but only with the text in the
argument. For this, I use the same function as above, but set an
attribute at the beginning of the argument and unset it at the end, and
in the function, I test for this attribute. Fine.
However, in a paragraph that does /not/ contain any \textrandomcolor, I
don't want the function to loop through all nodes. Let's say, for
performance reasons …
But maybe I just don't understand your answer, sorry …
cheers
Arno
