# Lexical analysis In the lexical analysis step, the expl3 analysis tool converts the expl3 parts of the input files into a list of `\TeX`{=tex} tokens. ## “Weird” and “Do not use” argument specifiers {.w label=w200} Some control sequence tokens correspond to functions with `w` (weird) or `D` (do not use) argument specifiers. /w200.tex The above example has been taken from @latexteam2024interfaces [Chapter 24]. ## Unknown argument specifiers {.e label=e201} Some control sequence tokens correspond to functions with unknown argument specifiers. [@latexteam2024interfaces, Section 1.1] /e201.tex ## Deprecated control sequences {.w label=w202} Some control sequence tokens correspond to deprecated expl3 control sequences from `l3obsolete.txt` [@josephwright2024obsolete]. /w202.tex ## Removed control sequences {.e label=e203} Some control sequence tokens correspond to removed expl3 control sequences from `l3obsolete.txt` [@josephwright2024obsolete]. /e203.tex ## Missing stylistic whitespaces {.s label=s204} Some control sequences and curly braces are not surrounded by whitespaces [@latexteam2024programming, Section 6] [@latexteam2024style, Section 3]. /s204.tex ## Malformed function name {.s label=s205} Some function have names that are not in the format `\texttt{\textbackslash\meta{module}\_\meta{description}:\meta{arg-spec}}`{=tex} [@latexteam2024programming, Section 3.2]. /s205-01.tex /s205-02.tex /s205-03.tex /s205-04.tex ## Malformed variable or constant name {.s label=s206} Some expl3 variables and constants have names that are not in the format `\texttt{\textbackslash\meta{scope}\_\meta{module}\_\meta{description}\_\meta{type}}`{=tex} [@latexteam2024programming, Section 3.2], where the `\meta{module}`{=tex} part is optional. /s206-01.tex /s206-02.tex An exception is made for scratch variables [@latexteam2024interfaces, Section 1.1.1]: /s206-03.tex ## Malformed quark or scan mark name {.s label=s207} Some expl3 quarks and scan marks have names that do not start with `\q_` and `\s_`, respectively [@latexteam2024programming, Chapter 19]. /s207-01.tex /s207-02.tex /s207-03.tex /s207-04.tex ## Too many closing braces {.e label=e208} An expl3 part of the input file contains too many closing braces. /e208.tex ## Invalid characters {.e label=e209} An expl3 part of the input file contains invalid characters. /e209.tex
