- % \section{User guide}
- %
- % This package provides some vaguely useful list-related commands and
- % environments:
- % \begin{itemize*}
- % \item A way of building \env{description}-like environments.
- % \item Commands for making `compacted' versions of list environments
- % \item A method for suspending and resuming enumerated lists.
- % \end{itemize*}
- %
- % \subsection{Description list handling}
- %
- % Different sorts of description-type lists require different sorts of
- % formatting: I think that's fairly obvious. There are essentially three
- % different attributes which should be changable:
- % \begin{itemize*}
- % \item the indentation of the items being described,
- % \item the handling of labels which don't fit properly, and
- % \item the style used to typeset the label text.
- % \end{itemize*}
- % The first two items should usually be decided for all description-like
- % lists in the document, to ensure consistency of appearance. The last
- % depends much more on the content of the labels.
- %
- % \DescribeEnv{basedescript}
- % The \env{basedescript} environment acts as a `skeleton' for description
- % environments. It takes one argument, which contains declarations to
- % be performed while constructing the list. I'd consider it unusual for
- % the \env{basedescript} environment to be used in the main text: it's
- % intended to be used to build other environments.
- %
- % The declarations which can be used to define description-type environments
- % include all of those which are allowed when setting up a list (see the
- % \LaTeX\ book for information here). Some others, which apply specifically
- % to description lists, are also provided:
- %
- % \begin{itemize}
- %
- % \item \DescribeMacro{\desclabelwidth}
- % The \syntax{"\\desclabelwidth{"<length>"}"} declaration sets labels
- % to be left-aligned, with a standard width of \<length>; the item
- % text is indented by \<length> plus the value of |\labelsep|.
- %
- % \item \DescribeMacro{\desclabelstyle}
- % The label style determines how overlong labels are typeset. A style
- % may be set using the \syntax{"\\desclabelstyle{"<style>"}"}
- % declaration. The following \<style>s are provided:
- % \begin{cmdlist}
- % \item [\nextlinelabel] If the label is too wide to fit next to the
- % first line of text, then it is placed on a line by itself;
- % the main text is started on the next line with the usual
- % indentation.
- % \item [\multilinelabel] The label is typeset in a parbox with the
- % appropriate width; if it won't fit on one line, then the
- % text will be split onto subsequent lines.
- % \item [\pushlabel] If the label is too wide to fit in the space
- % allocated to it, the start of the item's text will be `pushed'
- % over to the right to provide space for the label. This is
- % the standard \LaTeX\ \env{description} behaviour.
- % \end{cmdlist}
- %
- % \item \DescribeMacro{\makelabel}
- % The |\makelabel| command is responsible for typesetting a label.
- % It is given one argument, which is the text given as an argument
- % to the |\item| command; it should typeset it appropriately. The
- % text will then be arranged appropriately according to the chosen
- % label style. This command should be redefined using |\renewcommand|.
- %
- % \end{itemize}
- %
- % \begin{figure}
- % \begin{demo}[w]{Various labelling styles}
- %\begin{basedescript}{\desclabelstyle{\nextlinelabel}}
- %\item [Short label] This is a short item, although it has quite a
- % lot of text attached to it.
- %\item [Slightly longer label text] This is a rather longer piece
- % of text, with a correspondingly slightly longer label.
- %\end{basedescript}
- %\medskip
- %\begin{basedescript}{\desclabelstyle{\multilinelabel}}
- %\item [Short label] This is a short item, although it has quite a
- % lot of text attached to it.
- %\item [Slightly longer label text] This is a rather longer piece
- % of text, with a correspondingly slightly longer label.
- %\end{basedescript}
- %\medskip
- %\begin{basedescript}{\desclabelstyle{\pushlabel}}
- %\item [Short label] This is a short item, although it has quite a
- % lot of text attached to it.
- %\item [Slightly longer label text] This is a rather longer piece
- % of text, with a correspondingly slightly longer label.
- %\end{basedescript}
- % \end{demo}
- % \end{figure}
- %
- % \DescribeMacro{\defaultdesc}
- % To allow document designers to control the global appearance of description
- % lists, the |\defaultdesc| command may be redefined; it is called while
- % setting up a new \env{basedescript} list, before performing the user's
- % declarations. By default, it attempts to emulate the standard \LaTeX\
- % \env{description} environment:\footnote{^^A
- % This is a slightly sanitised version of the real definition, which is
- % given in the implementation section of this document.}
- % \begin{listing}
- %\providecommand{\defaultdesc}{%
- % \desclabelstyle{\pushlabel}%
- % \renewcommand{\makelabel}[1]{\bfseries##1}%
- % \setlength{\labelwidth}{0pt}%
- %}
- % \end{listing}
- % Unfortunately, \LaTeX\ doesn't provide a means for overriding a command
- % which may or may not have been defined yet; in this case, I'd probably
- % recommend using the \TeX\ primitive |\def| to redefine |\defaultdesc|.
- %
- % If you want to redefine the \env{description} environment in terms of
- % the commands in this package, the following method is recommended:
- % \begin{listing}
- %\renewenvironment{description}{%
- % \begin{basedescript}{%
- % \renewcommand{\makelabel}[1]{\bfseries##1}%
- % }%
- %}{%
- % \end{basedescript}%
- %}
- % \end{listing}
- % This ensures that labels are typeset in bold, as is usual, but other
- % properties of the list are determined by the overall document style.
- %
- % \subsection{Compacted lists}
- %
- % \LaTeX\ tends to leave a certain amount of vertical space between list
- % items. While this is normally correct for lists in which the items are
- % several lines long, it tends to look odd if all or almost all the items
- % are only one line long.
- %
- % \DescribeMacro{\makecompactlist}
- % The command
- % \syntax{"\\makecompactlist{"<new-env-name>"}{"<old-env-name>"}"}
- % defines a new environment \<new-env-name> to be a `compacted' version of
- % the existing environment \<old-env-name>; i.e., the two environments are
- % the same except that the compacted version leaves no space between items
- % or paragraphs within the list.
- %
- % \DescribeEnv{itemize*}
- % \DescribeEnv{enumerate*}
- % \DescribeEnv{description*}
- % So that the most common cases are already handled, the package creates
- % compacted $*$-variants of the \env{itemize}, \env{enumerate} and
- % \env{description} environments. These were created using the commands
- % \begin{listing}
- %\makecompactlist{itemize*}{itemize}
- %\makecompactlist{enumerate*}{enumerate}
- %\makecompactlist{description*}{description}
- % \end{listing}
- %
- % Some list environments accept arguments. You can pass an argument to a
- % list environment using an optional argument to its compact variant. For
- % example,
- % \begin{listing}
- %\begin{foolist*}[{someargument}]
- % \end{listing}
- %
- % \subsection{Suspending and resuming list environments}
- %
- % \DescribeMacro{\suspend}
- % \DescribeMacro{\resume}
- % The |\suspend| and |\resume| commands allow you to temporarily end a list
- % environment and then pick it up where you left off. The syntax is fairly
- % simple:
- %
- % \begin{grammar}
- %
- % <suspend-cmd> ::= \[[
- % "\\suspend"
- % \begin{stack} \\ "[" <name> "]" \end{stack} "{" <env-name> "}"
- % \]]%
- %
- % <resume-cmd> ::= \[[
- % "\\resume"
- % \begin{stack} \\ "[" <name> "]" \end{stack} "{" <env-name> "}"
- % \begin{stack} \\ "[" <text> "]" \end{stack}
- % \]]%
- %
- % \end{grammar}
- %
- % The \<env-name> is the name of the environment; this will more often than
- % not be the \env{enumerate} environment. The \<name> is a magic name you
- % can use to identify the suspended environment; if you don't specify this,
- % the environment name is used instead.
- %
- % \begin{demo}{Suspended environments}
- %Here's some initial text. It's
- %not very interesting.
- %\begin{enumerate*}
- %\item This is an item.
- %\item This is another.
- %\suspend{enumerate*}
- %Some more commentry text.
- %\resume{enumerate*}
- %\item Another item.
- %\end{enumerate*}
- % \end{demo}
- %
- % You can pass arguments to a resumed list environment through the second
- % optional argument of the |\resume| command. If, for example, you're using
- % David Carlisle's \package{enumerate} package, you could say something like
- % \begin{listing}
- %\begin{enumerate}[\bfseries{Item} i]
- %\item An item
- %\item Another item
- %\suspend{enumerate}
- %Some intervening text.
- %\resume{enumerate}[{[\bfseries{Item} i]}]
- %\item Yet another item
- %\end{enumerate}
- % \end{listing}

- %
- % \subsection{Description lists}
- %
- % \subsubsection{Label styles}
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\nextlinelabel}
- %
- % The idea here is that if the label is too long to fit in its box, we put
- % it on its own line and start the text of the item on the next. I've
- % used |\sbox| here to capture colour changes properly, even though I have
- % deep moral objections to the use of \LaTeX\ boxing commands. Anyway,
- % I capture the text in box~0 and compare its width to the amount of space
- % I have in the label box. If there's enough, I can just unbox the box;
- % otherwise I build a vbox containing the label text and an empty hbox --
- % |\baselineskip| glue inserted between the two boxes makes sure we get
- % the correct spacing between the two lines, and the vboxness of the vbox
- % ensures that the baseline of my strange thing is the baseline of the
- % \emph{bottom} box. I then bash the vbox on the nose, so as to make its
- % width zero, and leave that as the result. Either way, I then add glue
- % to left align whatever it is I've created.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\nextlinelabel#1{%
- \sbox\z@{#1}%
- \ifdim\wd\z@>\labelwidth%
- \setbox\z@\vbox{\box\z@\hbox{}}%
- \wd\z@\z@%
- \box\z@%
- \else%
- \unhbox\z@%
- \fi%
- \hfil%
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\multilinelabel}
- %
- % A different idea -- make the label text wrap around onto the next line if
- % it's too long. This is really easy, actually. I use a parbox to contain
- % the label text, set to be ragged right, because there won't be enough
- % space to do proper justification. There's also a funny hskip there --
- % this is because \TeX\ only hyphenates things it finds sitting \emph{after}
- % glue items. The parbox is top-aligned, so the label text and the item
- % run downwards together. I put the result in box~0, and remove the depth,
- % so as not to make the top line of the item text look really strange.
- %
- % All this leaves a little problem, though: if the item text isn't very long,
- % the label might go further down the page than the main item, and possibly
- % collide with the label below. I must confess that I'm not actually sure
- % how to deal with this possibility, so I just hope it doesn't happen.
- %
- % By the way, I don't have moral objections to |\parbox|.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\multilinelabel#1{%
- \setbox\z@\hbox{%
- \parbox[t]\labelwidth{\raggedright\hskip\z@skip#1}%
- }%
- \dp\z@\z@%
- \box\z@%
- \hfil%
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\pushlabel}
- %
- % Now we implement the old style behaviour -- if the label is too wide, we
- % just push the first line of the item further over to the right. This
- % is really very easy indeed -- we just stick some |\hfil| space on the
- % right hand side (to left align if the label comes up too short). The
- % `push' behaviour is handled automatically by \LaTeX's item handling.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\pushlabel#1{{#1}\hfil}
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % \subsubsection{The main environment}
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\desclabelstyle}
- %
- % This is a declaration intended to be used only in the argument to the
- % \env{basedescript} environment. It sets the label style for the list.
- % All we do is take the argument and assign it to a magic control sequence
- % which \env{basedescript} will understand later.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\desclabelstyle#1{\def\desc@labelstyle{#1}}
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\desclabelwidth}
- %
- % We set the label width and various other bits of information which will
- % make all the bits of the description line up beautifully. We set
- % |\labelwidth| to the value we're given (using |\setlength|, so that
- % people can use the \package{calc} package if they so wish), and make
- % the |\leftmargin| equal $|\labelwidth|+|\labelsep|$.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\desclabelwidth#1{%
- \setlength\labelwidth{#1}%
- \leftmargin\labelwidth%
- \advance\leftmargin\labelsep%
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % \begin{environment}{basedescript}
- %
- % This is the new description environment. It does almost everything you
- % could want from a description environment, I think. The argument is a
- % collection of declarations to be performed while setting up the list.
- %
- % This environment isn't really intended to be used by users -- it's here
- % so that you can define other description environments in terms of it,
- %
- % The environment is defined in two bits -- the `start' bit here simply
- % starts the list and inserts the user declarations in an appropriate
- % point, although sensible details will be inerted if the argument was
- % empty.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\basedescript#1{%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % We must start the list. If the |\item| command's optional argument is
- % missing, we should just leave a blank space, I think.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \list{}{%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % So far, so good. Now put in some default declarations. I'll use a
- % separate macro for this, so that the global appearance of lists can be
- % configured.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \defaultdesc%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % Now we do the user's declarations.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- #1%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % Now set up the other parts of the list. We set |\itemindent| so that the
- % label is up against the current left margin. (The standard version
- % actually leaves the label hanging to the left of the margin by a
- % distance of |\labelsep| for a reason I can't quite comprehend -- there's
- % an |\hspace{\labelsep}| in the standard |\makelabel| to compensate for
- % this. Strange\dots)
- %
- % To make the label start in the right place, the text of the item must
- % start a distance of $|\labelwidth|+|\labelsep|$ from the (pre-list) left
- % hand margin; this means that we must set |\itemindent| to be
- % $|\labelwidth|+|\labelsep|-|\leftmargin|$. Time for some \TeX\ arithmetic.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \itemindent\labelwidth%
- \advance\itemindent\labelsep%
- \advance\itemindent-\leftmargin%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % Now we must set up the label typesetting. We'll take the |\makelabel|
- % provided by the user, remember it, and then redefine |\makelabel| in
- % terms of the |\desclabelstyle| and the saved |\makelabel|.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \let\desc@makelabel\makelabel%
- \def\makelabel##1{\desc@labelstyle{\desc@makelabel{##1}}}%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % I can't think of anything else which needs doing, so I'll call it a day
- % there.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- }%
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % Now we define the `end-bit' of the environment. Since all we need to do
- % is to close the list, we can be ever-so slightly clever and use |\let|.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \let\endbasedescript\endlist
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % Note that with these definitions, the standard \env{description}
- % environment can be emulated by saying simply:
- % \begin{listing}
- %\renewenvironment{description}{%
- % \begin{basedescript}{}%
- %}{%
- % \end{basedescript}
- %}
- % \end{listing}
- %
- % \end{environment}
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\defaultdesc}
- %
- % Now to set up the standard description appearance. In the absence
- % of any other declarations, the label will `push' the text out the way if
- % the text is too long. The standard |\labelsep| and |\leftmargin| are not
- % our problem. We typeset the label text in bold by default. Also,
- % |\labelwidth| is cleared to 0\,pt, because this is what \LaTeX's usual
- % \env{description} does.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \providecommand\defaultdesc{%
- \desclabelstyle\pushlabel%
- \def\makelabel##1{\bfseries##1}%
- \labelwidth\z@%
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % \subsubsection{An example}
- %
- % \begin{environment}{note}
- %
- % The \env{note} environment is a simple application of the general
- % description list shown above. It typesets the label (by default, the
- % text `\textbf{note}') at the left margin, and the note text indented by
- % the width of the label.
- %
- % The code is simple -- we take the environment's argument (which may have
- % been omitted), store it in a box (using |\sbox| again, to handle colour
- % changes correctly), set the label width from the width of the box, and
- % then create a single item containing the label text. The text of the
- % environment then appears in exactly the desired place.
- %
- % I've not used |\newcommand| here, for the following reasons:
- % \begin{itemize}
- %
- % \item I don't like it much, to be honest.
- %
- % \item Until very recently, |\newcommand| only allowed you to define
- % `long' commands, where new paragraphs were allowed to be started
- % in command arguments; this removes a useful check which traps
- % common errors like missing out `|}|' characters. I'd prefer to
- % be compatible with older \LaTeX s than to use the new |\newcommand|
- % which provides a $*$-form to work around this restriction.
- %
- % \end{itemize}
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\note{\@ifnextchar[\note@i{\note@i[Note:]}}
- \def\note@i[#1]{%
- \basedescript{%
- \sbox\z@{\makelabel{#1}}%
- \desclabelwidth{\wd\z@}%
- }%
- \item[\box\z@]%
- }
- \let\endnote\endbasedescript
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{environment}
- %
- %
- % \subsection{Compacted environments}
- %
- % Normal lists tend to have rather too much space between items if all or
- % most of the item texts are one line or less each. We therefore define
- % a macro |\makecompactlist| whuch creates `compacted' versions of existing
- % environments.
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\makecompactlist}
- %
- % We're given two arguments: the name of the new environment to create, and
- % the name of the existing list environment to create.
- %
- % The first thing to do is to ensure that the environment we're creating is
- % actually valid (i.e., it doesn't exist already, and it has a sensible
- % name). We can do this with the internal \LaTeX\ macro |\@ifdefinable|.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\makecompactlist#1#2{%
- \expandafter\@ifdefinable\csname#1\endcsname%
- {\makecompactlist@i{#1}{#2}}%
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % We also ought to ensure that the other environment already exists. This
- % isn't too tricky. We'll steal \LaTeX's error and message for this.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\makecompactlist@i#1#2{%
- \@ifundefined{#2}{\me@err{Environment `#2' not defined}\@ehc}{}%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % The main work for starting a compact list is done elsewhere.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \@namedef{#1}{\@compact@list{#2}}%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % Now to define the end of the environment; this isn't terribly difficult.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \expandafter\let\csname end#1\expandafter\endcsname%
- \csname end#2\endcsname%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % That's a compacted environment created. Easy, no?
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % The general case macro has to try slurping some arguments, calling the
- % underlying environment, and removing vertical space.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\@compact@list#1{\@testopt{\@compact@list@i{#1}}{}}
- \def\@compact@list@i#1[#2]{%
- \@nameuse{#1}#2%
- \parskip\z@%
- \itemsep\z@%
- }%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % \begin{environment}{itemize*}
- % \begin{environment}{enumerate*}
- % \begin{environment}{description*}
- %
- % Let's build some compacted environments now. These are easy now that
- % we've done all the work above.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \makecompactlist{itemize*}{itemize}
- \makecompactlist{enumerate*}{enumerate}
- \makecompactlist{description*}{description}
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{environment}
- % \end{environment}
- % \end{environment}
- %
- %
- % \subsection{Suspending and resuming lists}
- %
- % This is nowhere near perfect; it relies a lot on the goodwill of the user,
- % although it seems to work fairly well.
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\suspend}
- %
- % The only thing that needs saving here is the list counter, whose name
- % is stored in |\@listctr|. When I get a request to save the counter, I'll
- % build a macro which will restore it when the environment is restored later.
- %
- % The first thing to do is to handle the optional argument. |\@dblarg| will
- % sort this out, giving me a copy of the mandatory argument if there's no
- % optional one provided.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\suspend{\@dblarg\suspend@i}
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % That's all we need to do here.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\suspend@i[#1]#2{%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % Now I have a little problem; when I |\end| the environment, it will close
- % off the grouping level, and the counter value will be forgotten. This is
- % bad. I'll store all my definitions into a macro, and build the |\end|
- % command into it; that way, everything will be expanded correctly. This
- % requires the use of |\edef|, which means I must be a little careful.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \edef\@tempa{%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % The first thing to do is to end the environment. I don't want |\end|
- % expanded yet, so I'll use |\noexpand|.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \noexpand\end{#2}%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % Now I must define the `resume' macro. I'll use |\csname| to build the
- % named identifier into the name, so it won't go wrong (maybe). There's
- % a little fun here to make the control sequence name but not expand it
- % here.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\expandafter\noexpand\csname resume.#1\endcsname{%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % The counter name is hidden inside |\@listctr|, so the actual counter is
- % called `|\csname c@\@listctr\endcsname|'. I'll use |\the| to read its
- % current value, and assign it to the counter when the macro is used later.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \csname c@\@listctr\endcsname\the\csname c@\@listctr\endcsname%
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % That's all we need to do there. Now close the macros and run them.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- }%
- }%
- \@tempa%
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % \begin{macro}{\resume}
- %
- % Resuming environments is much easier. Since I use |\csname| to build the
- % name, nothing happens if you try to resume environments which weren't
- % suspended. I'll trap this and raise an error. Provide an optional
- % argument for collecting arguments to the target list.
- %
- % \begin{macrocode}
- \def\resume{\@dblarg\resume@i}
- \def\resume@i[#1]#2{\@testopt{\resume@ii{#1}{#2}}{}}
- \def\resume@ii#1#2[#3]{%
- \begin{#2}#3%
- \@ifundefined{resume.#1}{\ml@err@resume}{\@nameuse{resume.#1}}%
- }
- % \end{macrocode}
- %
- % \end{macro}
- %
- % That's all there is.
