Actually, I asked a question a while back involving rescan I'll have a look at that and see if I can figure it out.

comment Text within ExplSyntaxOn/Off
I had thought of doing it outside of ExplSyntaxOn but it seemed rather artificial. It would be nice to have a direct method of doing so. I looked at \tl_rescan:nn but the documentation doesn't have an example of how to set up a catcode regime. It would be great if you had the time to give a small example of its use. Thanks for the information on \cctab as well.

Perhaps just the manuals: pdftex-section 7, luatex-section 2.6-7, e-tex, xetex.

comment How to create rectangles like in this example?
In the first code block in the first answer to the linked question, change \newcommand\catalannumber[3] to \newcommand\catalannumber[4] and in the code change #3 to #4, (#2,#2) to (#2,#3) and invoke as \catalannumber{0,0}{2}{3}{0,1,1,1,0};

comment How to create rectangles like in this example?
Unfortunately, it's not really a newbie question. You might add a comment to one of the answers in the linked question and see if they would be willing to generalize the code to include rectangles.

comment How could the macro xii.tex be simplified into a better readable form
Hi Cylian, the whole point of that macro is to not be readable! The simplified version would simply be to type the resulting text.

Thanks for the answer Steven. This may be an option if there's no global adjustment mechanism.

@pml I haven't but I'll give it a shot. I am still curious about the above however.

Would the cipher apply only to text?
