Great! Perhaps not what the OP was looking for, but what I wanted for  
a long while!

[NTG-context] List of builtin TeX commands

2006-03-25 Thread Nikolai Weibull
Hi!

Is there a list of builtin TeX commands anywhere on the net?  I need
it for a syntax definition of  the plain TeX format.

With builtin TeX commands I mean stuff like \def, \global, and such.

A list of commands defined in plain.tex would be great as well, but at
least that's easier to compile by myself, as I can just look in the
actual file.

The tex source is a bit harder to overview...

Thanks!

if you look into the scit eproperties files that ship with context, you will 
fond such lists (although the pdftex list is incomplete) 

we can always extend ctxtools (which can generate syntax files for some 
editors) to provide these lists as well

I suggest:

_The TeXBook_ (you have the source probably.)
_TeX for the Impatient_ (free on internet.)
_TeX by Topic_ (free on the internet.)

All these books have useful indexes. _TeX for the Impatient_ has
a separate list of commands with page references. _TeX by Topic_
has a glossary of just the primitives. 

TeX primitives (as opposed to plain tex additions) are
distinguished in the first two books by asterisks.  

The remaining need is the list of pdftex additions, and these are
listed on page 15ff of _the PDFTeX User Manual_. 

However having one or more of these books available may obviate the need
to compile your own syntax definition list.

TeXbook, chapters 24-26, should be fairly complete. The source file is
freely availabe (http://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/knuth/tex/), but
you may not process it with tex.

All of TeX's primitives can be found by

   grep '^primitive\(' tex.web

similar solutions are there for etex and pdftex, but in
etex a few primitives depend on runtime configuration, so
you have to be careful (\beginL \beginr)
