The standard (plain TeX) definition of is



defleavevmodeunhboxvoidb@x


where voidb@x is a permanently empty box. This will force TeX to leave vertical mode, and so is widely used to start horizontal mode material (particularly in LaTeX). Does this definition have any other influence on the processing of input?

          When the standard leavemode is executed in vertical mode, the unhbox primitive switches TeX to horizontal mode. The unhbox token remains in the input stream at that point. This can be seen if we arrange to grab the first token in a paragraph using everypar:



          deftemp#1deftemp#1showtemp
          everypartemp
          leavevmode A
          bye


          which yields



          > temp=macro:
          ->unhbox .


          This could potentially be an issue if some kind of look-ahead is in use. Of course, the unboxed empty box has no 'residual' effect on the vertical list being constructed.



          The standard leavevmode is the best definition with TeX90. However, when e-TeX is available, it is possible to use



          protecteddefleavevmodeifvmodeexpandafterindentfi


          With this indention, TeX executes indent before everypar is inserted. Thus there is nothing 'stray' in the input. (Try the demo above to see this.)



          The reason this needs protected is the behaviour of TeX at the start of an halign. There, TeX will expand normal macros but (probably surprisingly) ifvmode is true. Thus the result would be 'wrong':



          halign#cr leavevmode acr acr
          defleavevmodeifvmodeexpandafterindentfi
          halign#cr leavevmode acr acr
          protecteddefleavevmodeifvmodeexpandafterindentfi
          halign#cr leavevmode acr acr
          bye


          The e-TeX protected mechanism avoids this, making the indent-based leavevmode approach viable.

                    One-line joke

                    A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't."
