README for the `dowith' package

Apply Command to Each Item in a List of Arguments 
         in TeX's Macro Expansion Buffer

            (C) Uwe Lueck 2012/11/19

`dowith.sty' provides macros for applying a command to all items in a list of macro arguments, and also for extending and reducing macros storing such lists. "Brace groups" are single items of such lists, as opposed to token lists. Iteration is implemented within TeX's expansion processor, so works within \write as with `blog.sty'. Loop and list macros in other packages are discussed in the documentation. There is no need for e-TeX to which some of them refer.

domore.sty' extends dowith.sty' in order to apply multi- parameter macros to a list and to insert "separator material" between resulting items. One application has been generating inline lists of links that are separated by ` | '.

The packages are "generic", i.e., should also work with Plain TeX, relying on the `plainpkg' package for some minimal LaTeX-like behaviour.
