5.5.14 ‘@l’: Specify limbo text

This command begins the definition part.

Limbo text is material that FWEAVE should output before the start of the first section. For example,

@l "\\def\\A{abc}"

Note that ‘\\’ stands for a backslash. In general, characters must be escaped just as in C [so that one can include things like ‘\n’ (newline) in the definitions].

Limbo text may also be typed directly into the limbo section; in that case, no escapes are necessary since one is typing ordinary TeX text. Sometimes, however, the ‘@l’ command is useful for pedagogical purposes, as the limbo material can then be defined at the point where the logical discussion is made.
