Hi Hans,
|| does not work with tables, and until now I thought that this was a
limitation of tables. But upon reading core-tab, it appears that you
make a lot of effort to make sure that || works correctly, but it does
not. I think that this is due to a mistake in the definition of
pushouterbarandquote. Currently it is defined as
\gdef\pushouterbarandquote
{\ifForgetTableBarAndQuote
\let|\letterbar
\let"\letterdoublequote
\ifnum\catcode`\|=\@@active \let\outertablebar
|\else\let\outertablebar \relax\fi
\ifnum\catcode`\"=\@@active
\let\outertablequote"\else\let\outertablequote\relax\fi
\fi}
Shouldn't it be the other way round? That is first save the current
meaning of | and ", and then redefine it. So,
\bgroup
\catcode`\|=\@@active
\catcode`\"=\@@active
\gdef\pushouterbarandquote
{\ifForgetTableBarAndQuote
\ifnum\catcode`\|=\@@active \let\outertablebar
|\else\let\outertablebar \relax\fi
\ifnum\catcode`\"=\@@active
\let\outertablequote"\else\let\outertablequote\relax\fi
\let|\letterbar
\let"\letterdoublequote
\fi}
\egroup
This makes sure that || works correctly. The redefinition of " and |
was added last November.
