% \section{Introduction}
%
% Although the \Lpack{xtab} package was originally developed as part of a
% suite for typesetting ISO international standards~\cite{PRW96i}, it
% is also applicable for use with the \LaTeX{} standard classes.
% The package is an extension of the \Lpack{supertabular} package
% developed by Johannes Braams and Theo
% Jurriens.\footnote{\Lpack{supertabular.sty}, version 4.1c, 7 November 1997.}
% It reduces some of the weaknesses noted in the \Lpack{supertabular}
% documentation and provides additional functionality.
%
%
% Section~\ref{sec:usr} provides the user manual for the package which
% enables long tables to be automatically broken across multiple pages.
% Section~\ref{sec:xtab} describes the implementation.
%
% This manual is typeset according to the conventions of the
% \LaTeX{} \textsc{docstrip} utility which enables the automatic
% extraction of the \LaTeX{} macro source files~\cite{GOOSSENS94}.
%
%
% \section{The \Lpack{xtab} package} \label{sec:usr}
%
%    The \Lpack{supertabular} package provides for the automatic
% breaking of a long table across page boundaries.
% The extension provided here enables the
% heading on the table on the last page to differ from those on earlier
% pages of the table.
% The downside of the extension is that \LaTeX{} has to be run twice
% if the document contains a |supertabular|. However, \LaTeX{} is usually
% run at least twice for any but the simplest document in order to get
% cross-references and Table of Contents, etc., resolved correctly.
%
%    The current version of the extension also either cures or reduces
% following
% weaknesses in the \Lpack{supertabular} package.\footnote{I have
% corresponded with the authors of \Lpack{supertabular} about these.}
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item Sometimes the top caption of a |supertabular| is printed on
%       one page and the body is printed on the following page(s).
%       That is, there is a lonely caption.
% \item Sometimes the last page of a |supertabular| consists of an
%       empty table. That is, just the head and foot of the table are
%       printed.
% \item If the number of lines in the first header for the table differs
%       from the number of lines in subsequent headers, then the
%       continuation pages of the table may be too short or, more
%       troubling, too long.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% The weaknesses are caused by trying to guess where \TeX{} will put a page
% break. The package has to guesstimate how long the next entry will be in
% the table and, if it is too long for the available space, it puts in its
% own page break. If its guess is off too much in one direction, \TeX{} will
% break the page unexpectadly; if it's off in the other direction
% \Lpack{supertabular} will put in an unnecessary page break.
%
%    The \Lpack{xtab} package has reduced, but perhaps not entirely
% eliminated, these weaknesses. Some hand tuning may still be required.
%
%
%
%    The principal commands available are given in Table~\ref{tab:xtab}.

%
% \begin{center}
% \begin{xtabular}{|l|p{0.5\textwidth}|}
% ?\begin{xtabular}{...}? & This is equivalent to the normal
%                          ?\begin{tabular}{...}? environment.
%                          You supply the specification of the columns
%                          just as for the normal tabular environment.
% \\
% &
%                          All commands that can be used within a
%                          \Lenv{tabular}
%                          environment can also be used within
%                          the \Lenv{xtabular} environment.
%  \\
%  &
%     Unlike the \Lenv{tabular} environment which prevents page breaking
% within the tabular, the \Lenv{xtabular} allows page breaking, so that
% tabulars can extend automatically across several pages.
%  \\
%  &
% \Lenv{xtabular}
% starts off with a \Lenv{tabular} environment and checks the amount of
% space left on the page as it adds each row to the tabulation.
% If the space left on the page is too short for another row, then
% it ends the current \Lenv{tabular}, performs a page break and starts
% another \Lenv{tabular} on the following page. This process is repeated
% until all the rows have been output.
%  \\
%  &
%     There are special commands for captioning an \Lenv{xtabular} as a
% table, and also elements can be automatically inserted after each
% (internal) ?\begin{tabular}? and immediately before each
% ?\end{tabular}?.
%  \\
%  &
%     Do not put a \Lenv{xtabular} in a \Lenv{table} environment,
% as the \Lenv{table}
% environment keeps its contents on a single page (presumably you
% are using \Lenv{xtabular} because its contents are longer than
% one page).
%  \\
% ?\end{xtabular}? & End the \Lenv{xtabular} environment. \\ \hline
% ?\begin{mpxtabular}?   & Like the \Lenv{xtabular} environment
% except that each `page' is put into a ?minipage? first.
%  \\
%  &
% Thus it is possible to have footnotes inside an \Lenv{mpxtabular}.
% The footnote text is printed at the end of each page.
%  \\
% ?\end{mpxtabular}? & End the \Lenv{mpxtabular} environment. \\ \hline
%                           & \textbf{Note:} If any of the following commands
%                             are used, then they should be placed
%                             before the particular \Lenv{xtabular}
%                             environment that they apply to. \\
% ?\topcaption{...}? & A command to provide a caption for the
%                           table. The caption is placed at the top
%                           of the table. \\
% ?\bottomcaption{...}? & A command to provide a caption for the
%                           table. The caption is placed at the bottom
%                           of the table. \\
% ?\tablecaption{...}? & A command to provide a caption for the
%                           table. The caption is placed at the default
%                           position, which is at the top
%                           of the table.
%  \\
%  &
%                            \textbf{Notes:} You cannot use the ?\caption?
%                             command but you can put a label after
%                             any of these captioning commands. If you
%                             want captioning, the command must be specified
%                             before the start of the supertabular environment.
%   \\
%   &
%                             The ?\...caption{}? command(s) remain
%                             in effect until changed by another
%                             ?\...caption? command.
%    \\
% ?\tablefirsthead{...}? & Defines the contents of the first occurence
%                          of the tabular head. The tabular head is some
%                          special treatment of the first row in the table.
%                          This command is optional.
%  \\
%  &
%                          If used, the header must be closed by the
%                          end of line command for tabulars (e.g., ?\\?). \\
% ?\tablehead{...}? & Defines the contents of the table head on
%                          subsequent pages.
% \\
% &
%                          For example, you might want to note that
%                          this is a continuation of the table on
%                          the previous page, as well as repeating
%                          any column headings that were given
%                          at the start of the \Lenv{xtabular} by
%                          ?\tablefirsthead?.
%  \\
%  &
%                          The header must be closed like the
%                          ?\tablefirsthead? command.
%  \\
% ?\tablelasthead{...}? & Defines the contents of the table head
%                             on the last page of the table.
%  \\
%  &
%     For example, you might want to note that the table
% is concluded on this page.
%  \\
%  &
%                          The header must be closed like the
%                          ?\tablefirsthead? command.
%  \\
% ?\notablelasthead?  & Switches off the last ?\tablelasthead?.
%                            A ?\tablelasthead? stays in effect until
%                            overwritten by a new ?\tablelasthead?
%                            or cancelled by this command.
%  \\
% ?\tabletail{...}? & The contents of this command are inserted before
%                          the (internal) ?\end{tabular}? on each page except
%                          for the last page of the table.
%  \\
%  &
%                          For example, you might want to note that the
%                          table is continued on the next page.
%  \\
% ?\tablelasttail{...}? & The contents of this command are inserted before
%                          the final (internal) ?\end{tabular}? of the table.
%  \\
%  &
%                          For example, you might want to note that
%                          this is where the table ends.

%                          environment can also be used within
%                          the \Lenv{xtabular} environment.
%  \\

%  \\
% \end{xtabular}
% \end{center}
% \end{verbatim}
%
%     The table is only broken between rows --- a row will not be split
% across pages. This can lead to some bad page breaks, especially if
% there are rows with a large vertical height (like some in Table~\ref{tab:xtab}).
% It is best to keep rows not too tall.
%
%    Unkike the \Lenv{table} environment which floats, an \Lenv{xtabular}
% environment is typeset at the point in the document where the environment
% is specified. It is best not to start an \Lenv{xtabular} too close to the
% bottom of a page otherwise there might be an ugly page break.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\shrinkheight}
% The command
% |\shrinkheight{|\meta{length}|}| may be
% used after the first |\\| in the table to modify the allowed
% height of the table on that page. A positive \meta{length} decreases
% the allowed space on the page and a negative \meta{length} increases
% the allowed space.
%
% For example: \\
% |\shrinkheight{2\baselineskip}| decreases the space per page by
% two lines. \\
% |\shrinkheight{-\baselineskip}| increases the space per page by
% one line. \\
% Note that I have never tried using this command so I cannot comment
% on its efficacy. Instead, I use the
% |\xentrystretch| command when necessary.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\xentrystretch}
% The command |\xentrystretch{|\meta{decimal-fraction}|}| can be used before
% a table to modify the amount of vertical space apparently
% consumed by each entry in the subsequent table(s).
% The default is |\xentrystretch{0.1}| which
% specifies a 10\% overestimate in the vertical space. Similarly,
% |\xentrystretch{0.25}| will overestimate the space by 25\%. A different
% value may be used for each table in order to eliminate, or at least reduce,
% bad page breaks. Increasing the value causes fewer entries to be put on
% a page, thus reducing the chance of \TeX{} putting in a page break before
% the \Lpack{xtab} package is prepared for one.
%
%
%     You may specify the font used for the
% |\tablehead| and |\tablelasthead| yourself.
%
% \textbf{Note:} Within ISO documents, captions shall
% be in bold font. The \file{iso} class also provides
% a command for
% setting the size of the font used in captions, namely
% |\captionsize|. The default value for this is set by the \file{iso} class.
% For the curious, the default definition is: \\
% |\newcommand{\captionsize}{\normalsize}|
%
% \subsection{Options}
%
%     The \Lpack{xtab} package has three options which control the amount of
% information that is written to the \file{.log} file. The
% options are:
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item The option \Lopt{errorshow} (the default) does not
%       write any extra information;
% \item The option \Lopt{pageshow} writes information
%       about when and why \Lpack{xtab} decides to produce a new page;
% \item The option \Lopt{debugshow}, which also includes
%       \Lopt{pageshow}, additionally writes information about each line
%       that is added to the table.
% \end{enumerate}
%
%     Under normal circumstances \Lpack{xtab} is used without invoking any
% option. The \Lopt{pageshow} option may be useful when attempting to cure
% a bad page break. The \Lopt{debugshow} option, as its name implies, is
% principally of use to the \Lpack{xtab} developer.
%
%     Independently of the options, the command
% |\sstraceon| may be used at any
% point in the document to turn on printing of \Lopt{debugshow} data. This
% can be turned off later by the |\sstraceoff|
% command, which will stop all \Lopt{\ldots show} printing.
%
%
% \section{The implementation} \label{sec:xtab}
%
%    The \Lpack{xtab} package provides an extension to the
% \Lpack{supertabular} package
% written by  Johannes Braams and Theo
% Jurriens.\footnote{\texttt{supertabular.sty}, version 4.1c, 7 November 1997.}
% The major portion of the following documentation is taken from
% \file{supertabular.dtx}.
% The package is designed to be used with the \file{iso} class in addition
% to the usual \file{article}, etc., classes.
%
% \changes{v2}{1997/11/30}{xtab updated from version 3.7 to version 4.1c of supertabular}
% The extension provided here enables the
% heading on the table on the last page to differ from those on earlier
% pages of the table. The implementation of the extension is based
% on ideas in David Carlisle's \Lpack{longtable} package.
% The downside of the extension is that \LaTeX{} has to be run twice
% if the document contains a |supertabular|. However, \LaTeX{} is usually
% run at least twice for any but the simplest document in order to get
% cross-references and Table of Contents, etc., resolved correctly.
%
%    The current version of the extension also either cures or reduces
% following
% weaknesses in the \Lpack{supertabular} package.\footnote{Only the first
% two of these have been recognised by the authors of \Lpack{supertabular}.}
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item Sometimes the top caption of a |supertabular| is printed on
%       one page and the body is printed on the following page(s).
%       That is, there is a lonely caption.
% \item Sometimes the last page of a |supertabular| consists of an
%       empty table. That is, just the head and foot of the table are
%       printed.
% \item If the number of lines in the first header for the table differs
%       from the number of lines in subsequent headers, then the
%       continuation pages of the table may be too short or, more
%       troubling, too long.
% \end{enumerate}
%
%    The first version of \Lpack{xtab} imported much of the code from the
% supertabular package (version 3.7) but I found that this did not work
% well because there were incompatible coded versions of supertabular
% available on CTAN. Further, I
% found that there were some problems with the original \file{supertabular}
% code in any case.\footnote{I also found a bug in the 4.1b version which
% the authors kindly fixed in version 4.1c.}
% I have to make the assumption that other users may have dissimilar
% or problematic versions, so include all the code here, and thus any errors
% can now be laid at my door.
%
%    The requirement for compatibilty with the \file{iso} class is
% achieved by modifications to the |\ST@caption| command only. Effectively
% this is orthogonal to the code required to implement the extension.
%
%    Now for the code itself. As syntactic sugar, all new macros for the
% extension have the prefix `PWST' to distinguish them from the original
% macros. I have also denoted all extensions to the original
% \Lpack{supertabular} by introducing them as \emph{Extension:}.

%    \TeX{} will move this part of the table to a new page anyway, probably
%    with a message about an overfull |\vbox|.

% \begin{macro}{\PWST@lastpagecr}

% newpage even if the table will be too long. I do need to record whether
% or not the table has `overflowed' the allowable space on the page.
% The code is very similar to the last part of the code for |\ST@cr|.

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\PWST@setfirstcall}
% \emph{Extension:} This routine records that a table on the last page 
% has overflowed
% by setting |firstcall| to FALSE. If it is the first such overflow
% it also zeroes the line counter.
% \changes{v2}{1997/11/30}{Added PWST@setfirstcall routine}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\PWST@setfirstcall}{%
  \iffirstcall

%
% \begin{macro}{\ST@skipfirstpart}
%    This macro skips the current page and moves the entire supertabular
%    that has been built so far to the next page.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\ST@skipfirstpart{%
  \noalign{%
    \ST@trace\tw@{Tabular too high, moving to next page}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    In order for this to work properly we need to adapt the value of
%    |\ST@pageleft|. When this macro is called it has a negative value.
%    We should add the height of the next page to that (|\@colroom|).
%    From the result the `normal' height of the supertabular should be
%    subtracted (|\@colroom - \pagetotal|). This could be coded as follows:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%      \ST@dimen\@colroom
%      \advance\ST@dimen-\pagetotal
%      \global\advance\ST@pageleft\@colroom
%      \global\advance\ST@pageleft-\ST@dimen
%    \end{verbatim}
%    However, note that |\@colroom| is added \emph{and} subtracted. Thus the
%    code can be simplified to:
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \global\advance\ST@pageleft\pagetotal
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Then we can set |\ST@pagesofar| to zero and start the new page.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \global\ST@pagesofar\z@
    \newpage
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Finally we make sure that this macro can only be executed once for
%    each supertabular by changing the definition of |\ST@skippage|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \global\let\ST@skippage\ST@newpage
  }}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\ST@newpage}
%    This macro performs the actions necessary to start a new page.
%
%    This macro is also modified for the extension to supertabluar.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\ST@newpage{%
  \noalign{\ST@trace\tw@{Starting new page, writing tail}}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Output |\tabletail|, close the tabular environment, close a minipage

  \else
    \endtabular
  \fi
  \ifST@mp

%    \begin{macrocode}
  \global\let\ST@skippage\ST@newpage
%    \end{macrocode}
% On with the output.
%
% \emph{Extension:} The original code had the next line as 
% |\newpage\@calnextpageht|. However, if the general header has a
% vertical height that differs from the first header, then the table
% on the continuation pages may run short or, more disconcerting, long.
