% tokmap.tex, version 1.0

% Copyright (C) 2025 plante
% This package is released under the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL) 1.3c.

% tokmap: iterate over a token list expandably, without dropping spaces or braced groups.

% Usage: `\tokmap <command> { <tokens> }` applies command over the token list tokens.
% Space tokens, left and right braces are replaced with the marker tokens `\tokmap@space`,
% `\tokmap@bgroup`, and `\tokmap@egroup` respectively (who are `\ifx`-equal to themselves
% exclusively). For convenience, command may contain multiple tokens.
% It is assumed that `{` and `}` are the only characters with category codes 1
% (beginning of group) and 2 (end of group) respectively.
% Expandable.

% This package may be used in LaTeX by `\usepackage{tokmap}`, or
% in plain TeX and other formats by `\input{tokmap}`.

% See the visualtoks package for an example application.
