LaTeX and generic TeX packages 'gobble' and 'gobble-user' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Copyright (c) 2012-2019 by Martin Scharrer CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/gobble Code repository: https://bitbucket.org/martin_scharrer/gobble The LaTeX package 'gobble' includes several gobble macros not included in the LaTeX kernel. These macros remove a number of arguments after them; a feature regulary used inside other macros. This includes gobble macros for optional arguments. The LaTeX package 'gobble-user' provides these macros to the user level, i.e. using names without '@', so that these can be used without \makeatletter and \makeatother. The same macros are provided inside .tex files for use with plain-TeX or other TeX formats. However, the gobble macros for optional macros require \@ifnextchar to be defined.
