Hello, there is some discussion of `\endlinechar' in the chat http://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/41/tex-latex-and-friends
* David Carlisle detects that \endlinechar has only one negative value `-1' http://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/15629938#15629938 A test file: \catcode`\{=1 \catcode`\}=2 \catcode`\#=6 % \def\test#1{% \begingroup \endlinechar=#1\relax \immediate\write16{<#1=\the\endlinechar>}% \endgroup } \test{1} \test{0} \test{-1} \test{-2} \test{-126} \test{-127} \test{-128} \test{-129} \test{-254} \test{-255} \test{-256} \test{-257} \test{-1000} \csname @@end\endcsname\end Result: <1=1> <0=0> <-1=-1> <-2=-1> <-126=-1> <-127=-1> <-128=-1> <-129=-1> <-254=-1> <-255=-1> <-256=-1> <-257=-1> <-1000=-1> * \endlinechar has an upper limit of 127. What is the reason for this constraint? Yours sincerely Heiko Oberdiek
