Using edef'd text with doctex pre/postamble












0















I'm updating my DocTeX template(s) given the model DTX file by Joseph Wright, who includes a readme guard from which the readme.txt is generated.



The delcarepre/postamble macros from DocTeX prefix MetaPrefix (Simply two % signs) to each line in the pre/postamble. One may get around this by edef'ing their own pre/postamble. I was wondering if I could edef my pre-amble the pass it to declarepreambleBLOBendpreamble there after, allowing two versions one with MetaPrefixed lines and one without.

defexpamble{declarepreamblemetainfo}
expandafterexpamblemetadata
endpreamble
usepreamblemetainfo


That is can I split metadata at the ^^Js and pass the list of lines into the declarepreamblemetainfo...endpreamble block for it to process as it sees fit ?
