Angenommen, Sie haben ein rekursives TeX-Makro \formula(mit inneren Steuersequenzen, die lokale Zähler erhöhen), das nach der Erweiterung und dem Setzen einen Ausdruck ausgibt, der alle Ihre Anforderungen erfüllt: beispielsweise einen Ausdruck wie f(x) (in einer DVI-Ausgabe).
Wie erhalten Sie diese gesetzte Formel als Rückgabezeichenfolge zurück, die Sie als Ersatz für den „wörtlichen“ Text eines anderen Makros verwenden können, z. B. \def\secondformula{f(x)}?
Hier ist als MWE eine Definition einer Formel, die durch Rekursion eine Bessel-Funktion der ersten Art beliebiger Ordnung definiert
\newcount\BesselOrder
\newcount\BesselOrderMinusOne
\def\BesselZERO{besj0(x)}
\def\BesselONE{besj1(x)}
\def\Recursion{%
\advance\BesselOrder by -1
\advance\BesselOrderMinusOne by -1
((2 * \the\BesselOrder / x) * {\BesselJ{\the\BesselOrder}} - \BesselJ{\the\BesselOrderMinusOne})
}
\def\BesselJ#1{%
\BesselOrder=#1%
\BesselOrderMinusOne = \BesselOrder%
\advance\BesselOrderMinusOne by -1%
\ifnum\BesselOrder = 0
\let\next=\BesselZERO
\fi
\ifnum\BesselOrder = 1
\let\next = \BesselONE
\fi
\ifnum\BesselOrder > 1
\let\next = \Recursion
\fi
\next

% Ulrich's bessel-routine:
% ========================
%
% The routine doesn't need temporary assignments and the like and is based
% on expansion only.
%
% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
% !!!! Due to the \numexpr-thingie e-TeX-extensions are required. !!!!
% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
%
% The routine as a trick for triggering expansion uses \romannumeral-expansion:
% When due to \romannumeral (La)TeX does gather together a sequence of digits
% trailed by a space as the number which it has to convert, expandable tokens
% get expanded.
% When in the end a number is gathered together which is not positive, as the result
% of the conversion (La)TeX will not deliver any token at all.
% Thus one can nicely (ab)use \romannumeral for triggering a lot of
% expansion-work and flipping-arguments-around-work as long as one ensures
% that in the end \romannumeral will not find a positive number.
%
% Due to \romannumeral-expansion \UDBesselJ will deliver the result in
% two expansion-steps/after "being hit" by two \expandafter .
%
% !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
% !!! \UDBesselJ will take its toll at the semantic nest and at the input-stack. !!!
% !!! !!!
% !!! Don't use it with all too large values in the argument. !!!
