 % \section{Introduction}
 %
-% When I was looking for template for recipes, I found the cookybooky package by Jürgen Gilg (http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cookybooky).
-% It looks very good, but I was unable to compile it correctly (e.g. I haven't got the Lucida fonts). Also there are some packages which have to be downloaded by hand, because there are not available at CTAN. Other handicaps are the missing possibility to create a PDF-file directly and a recipe cannot be longer than a single page.
-% So decided to take a look at the code. Step by step I replaced all critical parts. Finally it is now possible to write recipes much easier (at least in my opinion).

-% \section{Comparison between xcookybooky and cookybooky}
+% It all begin in 2011 when I wanted to make a cookbook with \LaTeX. Thus I was looking for recipe templates and found the \texttt{cookybooky} package by Jürgen Gilg (\url{http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cookybooky}). It looks very good, but I was unable to compile it (e.g. I haven't got the Lucida fonts). Also there are some packages which have to be downloaded by hand, because there are not available at CTAN. Other handicaps are the missing possibility to create a PDF-file directly and a recipe cannot be longer than a single page. So decided to take a look at the code. Step by step I replaced all critical parts. Finally the code is nearly complete different from the original and now it is possible to create beautiful designed recipes much easier (at least in my opinion).
 % 
-% There is no compatibility between xcookybooky and cookybooky, even the name is associating it. The reason for the naming is nearly similar design.
+% Please note that there is no compatibility between xcookybooky and cookybooky, even the name is associating it. I chose the name, because I was was inspired by the layout.
 %
-% A comparison between \texttt{xcookybooky} and \texttt{cookybooky} is shown in table \ref{tbl:comparison}.

+% \subsection{Main}
+% This commands are commonly used for typesetting recipes. For more details take a look at the implementation in section~\ref{sec:implementation}. You can also investigate the examples and the configuration file.
 %
 % \DescribeEnv{recipe}
-% This the environment to insert recipes. Each recipe is included in a single enviroment. It is necessary to enter the name of the recipe. It is possible to insert also the recipetime, the portions, the calory content and the source (where you get this recipe).

 % 
-% Example:
-% \begin{verbatim}
-% \begin{recipe}[
-%     preparationtime = 30 min,
-%     bakingtime = 1 hour,
-%     bakingtemperature = \unit[225]{°C},
-%     portion = 4 portions,
-%     calory = 4 kj,
-%     source = My neighbour Sarah
-% ]{Currywurst}
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Recipe Environment}]
+% \begin{recipe}
+% [% 
+%     preparationtime = {\unit[1]{h}},
+%     bakingtime={\unit[1]{h}},
+%     bakingtemperature={\protect\bakingtemperature{fanoven=\unit[230]{°C}}},
+%     portion = {\portion{5-6}},
+%     calory={\unit[3]{kJ}},
+%     source = {Somebody you used know}
+% ]
+% {Test Recipe}
 % ...
 % \end{recipe}
-% \end{verbatim}
+% \end{lstlisting}
 %
 % \DescribeMacro{\graph}
-% It is possible to set 2 pictures by the macro \texttt{graph}. They are displayed above the other content. If no pictures are set, the space is used by the other content.
-% The \texttt{big} picture should be bigger than the \texttt{small} picture ;) but it also possible to modify this behaviour.
-% The reason for this is that the widths of the pictures are predefined by the command \texttt{setRecipeLengths}.
+% It is possible to set two pictures by using the macro \texttt{graph}. They are displayed at the top of the page and therefore above all other content. If no pictures are set, the space is used by the other content. The \texttt{big} picture should be larger than the \texttt{small} picture of course. The width of both graphics can be adapt to your needs by applying the command \texttt{setRecipeLengths}.
 %
-% Example (simple):
-% \begin{verbatim}
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Graph Command (simple)}]
 % \graph{
 %     small = strawberry,
 %     big = strawberrycake
 % }
-% \end{verbatim}
+% \end{lstlisting}
 %
-% Another possibility is shown in the following example. It is recommended if you only want to change the widths of the pictures for one recipe.
-% \textbf{Note:} These values are one only used for one recipe.
+% Another possibility is shown in the following example. It is recommended if you only want to change the widths of the pictures for one recipe, because these values are one only used for one recipe. If you want to changed it for all recipes use \texttt{setRecipeLengths}.
 %
-% Example (extended):
-% \begin{verbatim}
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Graph Command (extended)}]
 % \graph{
 %     small = strawberry,
 %     smallpicturewidth = 0.3\textwidth,
 %     big = strawberrycake,
 %     bigpicturewidth = 0.6\textwidth,
 % }
-% \end{verbatim}
+% \end{lstlisting}
 %
 % \DescribeMacro{\ingredients}
 % Here the ingredients of your recipe are set. They should be entered by number (unit) \& ingredient. If the unit is a SI-Unit, it looks better if you use the \texttt{units} package instead of a blank.
 % Since the version 1.2 there is only one possibility to enter ingredients, which is shown in the example. Note that a overlong ingredient will automatically create a line break.
 %
-% Example:
-% \begin{verbatim}
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Ingredients Command}]
 % \ingredients{
-%     2 Tafeln & dunkle Schokolade (über \unit[70]{\%})\\
-%     3        & Eier\\
-%     \unit[200]{ml} & Sahne\\
-%     \unit[40]{g} & Zucker\\
+%     2 bar & Dark Chocolate (above \unit[70]{\%})\\
+%     3 & Eggs\\
+%     \unit[200]{ml} & Cream\\
+%     \unit[40]{g} & Sugar\\
 %     \unit[50]{g} & Butter
 % }
-% \end{verbatim}
+% \end{lstlisting}
 %
-% In the versions up to 1.1 there was also a method to enter ingredients with three columns. Due to the substitution of \texttt{tabular} with \texttt{tabularx} I decided that the three columns method is no longer supported, because it would mean a lot of work. This method has also the drawback it needs more space and in my opinion it also looks ugly.

 %   \item Redefine the concerning command in your latex file or in the configuration file 
 % \end{enumerate}
 % 
 % \DescribeMacro{\preparation}
-% The preparation steps are inserted by this macro. Every step is written after \texttt{step} command. This is necessarry for the numeration.
+% The preparation steps are inserted by this macro. Every step is written after \texttt{step} command. This is necessarry for the numeration. Since version 1.4 it is allowed to use blank lines to create passages. 
 %
-% Example:
-% \begin{verbatim}
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Preparation Command}]
 % \preparation{
 %     \step This is the first step for cooking a brilliant meal.
 %     \step The second step follows...
 %     \step and so on
 %     \step Enjoy your meal! 
 % }
-% \end{verbatim}
+% \end{lstlisting}
+%
+% If you don't like the step number, you can either redefine it or simply use an enumeration as demonstrated in the next example.
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Preparation Command with Enumeration}]
+% \preparation{
+%     \begin{enumerate}
+%         \item This is the first step for cooking a brilliant meal.
+%         \item The second step follows...
+%         \item and so on
+%         \item Enjoy your meal! 
+%     \end{enumerate}
+% }
+% \end{lstlisting}
+%
+%
+% \subsection{Advanced}
+% 
+% \DescribeMacro{\introduction}
+% The \texttt{introduction} macro can be used for inserting an introduction before the preparation and ingredients part. It has a frame and the text can contain blank lines to create passages.
+%
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Introduction Command}]
+% \introduction{%
+%     This text block can contain an introduction to the recipe.
+% }
+% \end{lstlisting}
+% 
+% \DescribeMacro{\suggestion}
+% This command is displayed after the ingredients and preparation part of the recipe. It is expandable so that you can insert multiple suggestions. The optional parameter can be used to set a headline.
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Suggestion Command}]
+% \suggestion{%
+%     Another possibility to insert additional information to the recipe.
+% }
+% % \suggestion[Headline]{%

+% \subsection{Support Commands}
 % \DescribeMacro{\portion}
 % This macro is intented as an interface for an equal formating of portions entries. For this it can be easily modified. You just have to renew this command.
+% \begin{lstlisting}[caption={Portion Command}]
+% \portion{5}
+% \portion[People]{5}
+% \end{lstlisting}
 %
 % \DescribeMacro{\bakingtemperature}
 % This macro allows you to enter some bakingtemperatures. If you do not like the order of the temperatures you can change them by redefining the command. The temperatures are inserted as key/value pairs as known from the \texttt{xkeyval} package.
