<tmdoc-title|Macro expansion (1.0.2.3 -- 1.0.2.7)>
8
An important internal change concerning the data format has been made:
9
macro expansions and function applications like
12
(expand <em|tag> <em|arg-1> ... <em|arg-n>)
16
(apply <em|tag> <em|arg-1> ... <em|arg-n>)
19
are now replaced by hard-coded tags
22
(<em|tag> <em|arg-1> ... <em|arg-n>)
25
Moreover, functions have systematically been replaced by macros. The few
26
built-in functions which may take an arbitrary number of arguments have
27
been rewritten using the new <markup|xmacro> construct. If you ever wrote
28
such a function yourself, then you will need to rewrite it too.
30
The new approach favorites a uniform treatment of macros and functions and
31
makes the internal representation match with the corresponding
32
<name|Scheme> representation. More and more information about tags will
33
gradually be stored in the <abbr|D.R.D.> (Data Relation Definition). This
34
information is mostly determined automatically using heuristics.
36
Notice that some perverse errors might arise because of the above changes.
