Standard utilities

In the package std-utils, the user may find several useful additional macros for writing style files. It mainly contains macros for

• Writing block environments which span over the entire paragraph width. Notice that the title-base package provides some additional macros for wide section titles.
• Writing wide block environments which are underlined, overlined or in a frame box.
• Recursive indentation.
• Setting page headers and footers.
• Localization of text.

It is good practice to use these standard macros whenever possible when writing style files. Indeed, the low-level TeXmacs internals may be subject to minor changes. When building upon standard macros with a clear intention, you increase the upward compatibility of your style-sheets.
