Memory between passes

Post by Laurentius »

Is there no way to make TeX remember the value of registers between passes?

Memory between passes

Post by cgnieder »

The only way making TeX remember anything between passes is to write things into an auxiliary file and read that file in at an early stage of the second compilation. this is what LaTeX's aux file is for where for example labels are written for cross references.
