Hello everybody,

It happens from time to time that a (La)TeX designer = has to know in

to obtain this information we test = "basically" \fmtname and we decide
that we are in LaTeX if \fmtname=3Dlplain. = Unfortunately people change
this name. We can't do nothing against this practice = unless to say
that it's not a good thing. But do we admit really = that \fmtname is
showing the name of a basic format-code and must not = reflect user
modifications ?

Is-it a better and well admitted way to test if a code = is running in
LaTeX or not ?

And in the LaTeX 3 project?

Thanks. Have a good day,
