% Whilst there is a reasonable amount of code overlap between backends,
% it is much clearer to have the blocks more-or-less separated than run
% in together and DocStripped out in parts. As such, most of the following
% is set up on a per-backend basis, though there is some common code (again
% given in blocks not interspersed with other material).
%
% All the file identifiers are up-front so that they come out in the right
% place in the files.

% The order of the backend code here is such that we get somewhat logical
% outcomes in terms of code sharing whilst keeping things readable. (Trying to
% mix all of the code by concept is almost unmanageable.) The key parts which
% are shared are
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Color support is either \texttt{dvips}-like or \LuaTeX{}/pdfTeX{}-like.
% \item \LuaTeX{}/pdfTeX{} and \texttt{dvipdfmx}/\XeTeX{} share drawing routines.
% \item \XeTeX{} is the same as \texttt{dvipdfmx} other than image size
% extraction so takes most of the same code.
% \end{itemize}
%
% \begin{macro}
% {
% \__kernel_backend_literal:e,
% \__kernel_backend_literal:n
% }
% The one shared function for all backends is access to the basic
% \tn{special} primitive: it has slightly odd expansion behaviour
% so a wrapper is provided.

%
% \begin{macro}
% {\__kernel_backend_literal_postscript:n, \__kernel_backend_literal_postscript:e}
% Literal PostScript can be included using a few low-level formats. Here,
% we use the form with no positioning: this is overall more convenient as
% a wrapper. Note that this does require that where position is important,
% an appropriate wrapper is included.
% \begin{macrocode}

% \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_postscript:n, \__kernel_backend_postscript:e}
% PostScript data that does have positioning, and also applying
% a shift to |SDict| (which is not done automatically by
% |ps:| or |ps::|, in contrast to |!| or |"|).
% \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \__kernel_backend_postscript:n #1
{ \__kernel_backend_literal:n { ps: SDict ~ begin ~ #1 ~ end } }
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \__kernel_backend_postscript:n { e }
% \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% PostScript for the header: a small saving but makes the code clearer.
% This is held until the start of shipout such that a document with no
% actual output does not write anything.

% \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}
% {
% \__kernel_backend_align_begin:,
% \__kernel_backend_align_end:
% }
% In \texttt{dvips} there is no built-in saving of the current
% position, and so some additional PostScript is required to set up the
% transformation matrix and also to restore it afterwards. Notice the use
% of the stack to save the current position \enquote{up front} and to
% move back to it at the end of the process. Notice that the |[begin]|/^^A
% |[end]| pair here mean that we can use a run of PostScript statements
% in separate lines: not \emph{required} but does make the code and
% output more clear.
% \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \__kernel_backend_align_begin:
{
\__kernel_backend_literal:n { ps::[begin] }

% \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_scope_begin:, \__kernel_backend_scope_end:}
% Saving/restoring scope for general operations needs to be done with
% \texttt{dvips} positioning (try without to see this!). Thus we need the
% |ps:| version of the special here. As only the graphics state is ever
% altered within this pairing, we use the lower-cost |g|-versions.
% \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \__kernel_backend_scope_begin:

%
% \begin{macrocode}
%<*luatex|pdftex>
% \end{macrocode}
%
% Both \LuaTeX{} and \pdfTeX{} write PDFs directly rather than via an
% intermediate file. Although there are similarities, the move of \LuaTeX{}
% to have more code in Lua means we create two independent files using
% shared DocStrip code.
%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_literal_pdf:n, \__kernel_backend_literal_pdf:e}
% This is equivalent to \verb|\special{pdf:}| but the engine can
% track it. Without the \texttt{direct} keyword everything is kept in
% sync: the transformation matrix is set to the current point automatically.
% Note that this is still inside the text (\texttt{BT} \dots \texttt{ET}
% block).
% \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \__kernel_backend_literal_pdf:n #1

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_literal_page:n, \__kernel_backend_literal_page:e}
% Page literals are pretty simple. To avoid an expansion, we write out
% by hand.
% \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \__kernel_backend_literal_page:n #1
{
%<*luatex>

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_matrix:n, \__kernel_backend_matrix:e}
% Here the appropriate function is set up to insert an affine matrix
% into the PDF. With \pdfTeX{} and \LuaTeX{} in direct PDF output mode there
% is a primitive for this, which only needs the rotation/scaling/skew part.
% \begin{macrocode}

% \subsection{\texttt{dvipdfmx} backend}
%
% \begin{macrocode}
%<*dvipdfmx|xetex>
% \end{macrocode}
%
% The \texttt{dvipdfmx} shares code with the PDF mode one (using the common
% section to this file) but also with \XeTeX{}. The latter is close
% to identical to \texttt{dvipdfmx} and so all of the code here is extracted
% for both backends, with some \texttt{clean up} for \XeTeX{} as
% required.
%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_literal_pdf:n, \__kernel_backend_literal_pdf:e}
% Undocumented but equivalent to \pdfTeX{}'s |literal| keyword. It's similar to
% be not the same as the documented |contents| keyword as that adds a |q|/|Q|
% pair.
% \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \__kernel_backend_literal_pdf:n #1
{ \__kernel_backend_literal:n { pdf:literal~ #1 } }
\cs_generate_variant:Nn \__kernel_backend_literal_pdf:n { e }
% \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_literal_page:n}
% Whilst the manual says this is like |literal direct| in \pdfTeX{},
% it closes the |BT| block!
% \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \__kernel_backend_literal_page:n #1
{ \__kernel_backend_literal:n { pdf:literal~direct~ #1 } }
% \end{macrocode}

%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_scope_begin:, \__kernel_backend_scope_end:}
% Scoping is done using the backend-specific specials. We use the versions
% originally from \texttt{xdvidfpmx} (\texttt{x:}) as these are well-tested
% \enquote{in the wild}.

%
% \begin{macrocode}
%<*dvisvgm>
% \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_literal_svg:n, \__kernel_backend_literal_svg:e}
% Unlike the other backends, the requirements for making SVG files mean
% that we can't conveniently transform all operations to the current point.
% That makes life a bit more tricky later as that needs to be accounted for.
% A new line is added after each call to help to keep the output readable
% for debugging.
% \begin{macrocode}

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{variable}{\g__kernel_backend_scope_int, \l__kernel_backend_scope_int}
% In SVG, we need to track scope nesting as properties attach to scopes; that
% requires a pair of \texttt{int} registers.

% \begin{macro}{\__kernel_backend_scope:n, \__kernel_backend_scope:e}
% In SVG, the need to attach concepts to a scope means we need to be sure we
% will close all of the open scopes. That is easiest done if we only need
% an outer \enquote{wrapper} \texttt{begin}/\texttt{end} pair, and within
% that we apply operations as a simple scoped statements. To keep down the
