% \section{Introduction}
% The \TeX{} and metafont manuals use some special symbols not found in
% the normal CM-fonts. Most of these symbols will be of little use for
% the average author, but some, like the ``Dangerous Bend'' sign may be
% approriate for some textbooks.
%
% Since there is no easy way to access these symbols I wrote a small
% package which I distributed with my \texttt{refman} package. I didn't
% expect much response and was quite surprised to get a mail from Denis
% Kosygin who suggested some improvements. He also suggested releasing
% it a stand-alone package, thus forcing me to write some
% documentation\texttt{:-)}
%
% \subsection*{A word of caution}
% Please use the symbols from this package sparingly.
% Their unusual shapes attract attention, which means also
% that they distract the reader from the main text.  For any advice
% how to write well there is a brilliant example, where it was not
% followed.  Still, in general, restraining means of expression
% improves the overall aesthetic quality.
%
% This point of view is reflected in the design of \texttt{manfnt}.
% In particular, that was the reason, why there are no switches to
% manfnt similar to \cmd{\textrm} or \cmd{\rmfamily}.
%
% \section{The symbols}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\manfntsymbol}
% To access a symbol in manfnt by its
% code say \cmd{\manfntsymbol}\marg{code}.  Symbol codes are shown in
% a table at the end of this manual.  Recall that in \TeX{} octal
% codes begin with |'| and hexadecimal codes with |"|.
%
% Some symbols with ``interesting'' shapes are named to alleviate the
% burden of looking up their codes.  Their names are listed at the end
% of this manual.
%
% \subsection*{The dangerous bends}
% \newcommand{\danger}{\marginpar[\hfill\dbend]{\dbend\hfill}}
% \newenvironment{example}{\smallskip\begin{trivlist}\item[]}
%    {\end{trivlist}\smallskip}
% As shown below, if \danger\cmd{\dbend} is used directly in a text,
% \LaTeX{} will place the center of the sign plate on the baseline.  As
% the result, the sign pole may overlap with the contents of the next
% line\footnote{The reason for such design can be seen in the \TeX{}book
%   by D.~Knuth \cite{book:knuth}.  There in ``dangerous bend''
%   paragraphs the ``ground level'' of the sign is the base of the
%   next line.  Special arrangments (which are beyond the scope of
%   this manual) are needed to produce similar effect in a \LaTeX{}
%   document.}.
% \begin{example}
%   \newlength{\myminipagesep}
%   \newlength{\myminipagewidth}
%   \setlength{\myminipagewidth}{.5\textwidth}
%   \addtolength{\myminipagewidth}{-2.5em}
%   \begin{minipage}{\myminipagewidth}
%     Here is an example of an unfortunate use of \dbend.  The text on
%     the next line is partially obscured by the sign pole.
%   \end{minipage}
%   \hspace{1em}^^A
%   \addtolength{\myminipagewidth}{3.5em}^^A
%   \begin{minipage}{\myminipagewidth}
%\begin{verbatim}
%Here is an example of an unfortunate 
%use of \dbend.  The text on the next
%line is partially obscured by
%the sign pole.
%\end{verbatim}
%   \end{minipage}
% \end{example}
% A better approach is illustrated in the beginning of this paragraph,
% where the dangerous bend sign is placed on the text margins.  This was
% achieved with the help of the command~\cmd{\danger}\footnote{In
%   general you should design your own commands for using this symbol,
%   which reflect the meaning you assign to it.   Book~\cite{book:lamport} on
%   \LaTeX{} by~L.~Lamport explains how to place text on margins.},
%   defined in \texttt{manfnt.dtx}:
%\begin{verbatim}
%\newcommand{\danger}{\marginpar[\hfill\dbend]{\dbend\hfill}}
%\end{verbatim}
% The first sentence of the current paragraph was entered into the
% source as
% \begin{example}
%\begin{verbatim}
% As shown below, if \danger\cmd{\dbend} is used directly in a text,
% \LaTeX{} will place the center of the sign plate on the baseline.
%\end{verbatim}
% \end{example}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\textdbend}
% \DescribeMacro{\textlhdbend}
% \DescribeMacro{\textreversedvideodbend} 
% For rare occasions, when you do need to include \textdbend{} into a
% line of text, \texttt{manfnt} provides command~\cmd{\textdbend},
% which raises the ``ground level'' of the sign to the base line making
% it suitable for inclusion.  For example, the dangerous bend sign in
% the previous sentence was produced by~\cmd{\textdbend}.  Commands
% \cmd{\textlhdbend} and \cmd{\textreversedvideodbend} act similarly.
% \iffalse
% We delay the printing of bibliography and tables until the end of
% the document. 
% Below we define few commands which are used only in tables.
% We also make | an ordinary character again, since it has a special
% meaning in tables.

% In principle, definitions of \fileversion and \filedate ought to be
% here.  Since we have moved them to the beginning of the file for
% practical reasons, we need to hack the beginning of this section to
% show that they are in manfnt.sty and to fix the line numbering of code.
% The block below fakes the definitions of \fileversion and \filedate.
% To trick docstrip we bury them in <false> tags and hide the tags from
% the doc module in meta-comments.

% \begin{macro}{\fileversion}
% \begin{macro}{\filedate}
% For technical reasons the definitions of \cmd{\fileversion} and

% \texttt{manfnt.sty} they are filled with current values (\fileversion{} and
% \filedate{} respectively).
% They are also shown on the title page of this manual.

% \begin{macro}{\manfntsymbol}

% \subsubsection{Other commands}
% \begin{macro}{\textdbend}
% \begin{macro}{\textlhdbend}
% \begin{macro}{\textreversedvideodbend}
%   User level commands \cmd{\textdbend}, \cmd{\textlhdbend}
%   and \cmd{\textreversedvideodbend} just provide the appropriate
%   argument to~\cmd{\text@dbend} which does the actual work.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\textdbend}{\text@dbend{\dbend}}
\newcommand{\textlhdbend}{\text@dbend{\lhdbend}}
\newcommand{\textreversedvideodbend}{\text@dbend{\reversedvideodbend}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\test@dbend} 
% The source in \texttt{manfnt.mf} specifies \textdbend{}  in cmr10
% settings as a box 500/36pt~wide, 270/36pt~high and 0pt~deep.
% The actual image sticks out to~20/36pt${}+\epsilon$ above and
% to~11pt below the box. 
% At 10pt size |\dbend| produces a box with height 7.5pt and zero depth.
% The sign pole extends to 11pt below the base line\footnote{The
%   ``dangerous bend'' paragraphs in the \TeX{}book~\cite{book:knuth} are
%   typeset in 9pt size fonts with \cmd{\baselineskip} set to 11pt.}.
% All this means that we need to raise the sign by 22/15 of its height.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newlength{\dbend@height}
\newcommand{\text@dbend}[1]{%
  \settoheight{\dbend@height}{#1}%
  \divide\dbend@height by 15%
  \multiply\dbend@height by 22%
  \raisebox{\dbend@height}{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% This definition is clumsy but has an advantage of working.   
% Question by Denis Kosygin:
%   \begin{quote}\small
%     Can anyone explain why does
%\begin{verbatim}
%\newcommand{\text@dbend}[1]{\raisebox{22\height/15}{#1}}
%\end{verbatim}
%     break?  Sometimes it does what I mean, and sometimes it typesets
%     the argument raised to to 22\cmd{\height} followed by /15 on the
%     baseline.
%   \end{quote}
% \end{macro}
%
% We end the file with an explicit |\endinput| which prevents the
% docstrip program from putting character table into the generated
% files.
