New Ctan package: ifnextok
On Mon, 23 May 2011 Uwe Lück submitted the ifnextok package. Summary description: replacing \@ifnextchar so `\\ [' prints `[' in new line etc. License type: lppl Announcement text: -- `ifnextok' deals with the behavior of LaTeX's internal `\@ifnextchar' to skip blank spaces. This sometimes has surprising or for some users really unwanted effects, especially with brackets following `\\' where the user does not intend to specify an optional argument, rather wants that brackets are printed. The package offers commands and options for modifying this behavior, maybe limited to certain parts of the document source. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ifnextok . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ifnextok (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . Thanks for the upload.
