-This is the file `00readme.drp', which accompanies the `dropping'
-package distribution. The package defines one command, `\dropping',
-which drops the first character(s) of a paragraph. It is based on
-the `dropcaps.sty' file by Fred J. Lauwers. `dropping' can be
-regarded as an automatization of `dropcaps'. To obtain the userguide
-and documentation, run LaTeX on `dropping.dtx' after running LaTeX
-on `dropping.ins'.
-
-
-The `dropping' package consists of two files:
- dropping.ins - the installation driver
- dropping.dtx - the macro code and instructions on how to use
- the package, in `docstrip'-able format.
-Anyone is free to re-distribute these files provided the restrictions
-mentioned in 'dropping.ins' are obeyed. These are mainly that the
-two files always must be distributed together and that noone is
-allowed to distribute the files for profit.

-% This document describes the \textsf{dropping} package, which

-% a paragraph. It is based on Fred~J.\ Lauwers's
-% \texttt{dropcaps.sty}. In short, \textsf{dropping} is an
-% automatization of |dropcaps| in that the user does not need to
-% know the internal name of the font file (the |.tfm|-file) but can
-% control this via the ordinary \LaTeXe{} commands `|\rmfamily|'
-% \textit{etc.}

-%
-% \section{Introduction}
-% \textsf{dropping} is a \LaTeX{} package which makes it easy to
-% start a new paragraph with a dropped letter or letters. The lines
-% following the dropped letter are indented so no over-writing is to
-% occur.
-%
-% This userguide is also available in \texttt{.pdf}-format
-% on the internet. It is found from my \LaTeX\ web page:
-% \texttt{http://www.homenet.se/matsd/latex/}
-%
-% \section{Userguide}
-% \subsection{Requirements}
-% The file |dropping.sty| must be available in the user's
-% |TEXINPUTS| directories.
-% It requires \LaTeXe{} of 1996/12/01 (or newer).
-% \textsf{dropping} works best with |dvips| and |MakeTeXPK|
-% installed, although not formally needed. Without these, the
-% output may not be as good as expected.
-%
-% \textsf{dropping} v.\fileversion{} has been tested using
-% MiK\TeX{} 1.07, including \LaTeXe{} of 1997/06/01
-% and \TeX{} 3.14159, under Win95. Only change relative previous
-% version is a bug/typo fix.
-%
-% \subsection{Usage}
-% The package is included by stating\\
-% | \usepackage{dropping}| \\
-% In the document preamble. The package recognizes the same
-% options as the \textsf{graphics} package v.1.0 (1996/05/29) by
-% D.~P.\ Carlisle and S.~P.~Q.\ Rahtz. Which is used is assumed to
-% be controlled via the existence of a
-% |graphics.cfg| file in the \LaTeX{} installation.
-%
-% \newpage
-% \subsection{Commands}
-%
-% \DescribeMacro{\dropping}
-% The command |\dropping| is the main feature of the package. This
-% command takes two mandatory and one optional argument:\\
-% | \dropping[|\textit{len}|]{|\textit{numb}|}{|\textit{text}|}|\\
-% The \textit{len} argument is a \LaTeX{} length (with unit) which
-% states how far from the left margin the dropped text should start.
-% A positive number corresponds to an indentation rightwards, a
-% negative number will force the dropped text to start to the left
-% of the paragraph. The default value is |0pt|, meaning the dropped
-% text will be aligned with the rest of the paragraph. The
-% mandatory \textit{numb} argument should be an integer number which
-% states how many lines tall the dropped text should be. The last
-% argument, \textit{text}, is the text which should be dropped.
-% This argument may either be a single letter or several letters
-% without any formatting information, or the argument may start with
-% a font-changing command of the type |\rmfamily|. In the former
-% case, there are no special things to think about, and the dropped
-% text will be type-set in the document's default font. However, if
-% a font-changing command is used, there are two things to be aware
-% of: \textbf{1.} You can only use the font-changing commands
-% |\rmfamily|, |\sffamily|, |\ttfamily|, |\mdseries|, |\bfseries|,
-% |\upshape|, |\itshape|, |\slshape|, or |\scshape| (\textit{i.~e.}
-% \emph{not} the |\text|\textit{xx} commands). \textbf{2.} The
-% font-changing command(s) must be followed by a pair of braces, |{}|,
-% and a blank space
-% for the internal stripping routines to work. Several
-% font-changing commands may be used in series. Thus, both
-% |{This}|, |{\bfseries{} this}|, and |{\ttfamily\itshape{} this}|
-% are examples of valid \textit{text} arguments to |\dropping|.
-% Note that the construct
-% |\textit{\dropping[|\textit{len}|]{|\textit{numb}|}{|\textit{text}|}}|
-% does \emph{not} work properly.
-%
-% \DescribeMacro{\bigdrop}
-% Fred~J.~Lauwers's command |\bigdrop| is also available if the
-% \textsf{dropping} package is loaded. It has exactly the same
-% syntax as if \textsf{dropcaps} is loaded, that is:\\
-% | \bigdrop{|\textit{len}|}{|\textit{numb}|}{|\textit{font}|}{|\textit{text}|}|\\
-% where the arguments \textit{len} and \textit{numb} are exactly the
-% same as for |\dropping| (in fact, these two arguments are passed
-% directly from |\dropping| to |\bigdrop|). The \textit{font}
-% argument is the internal font name to be used for the dropped
-% text, \textit{i.~e.\ } the |.tfm|-file name (|cmsl10| is an example
-% of a valid \textit{font} argument). The fourth argument,
-% \textit{text}, is the text to be dropped (only plain text is valid
-% here!). For further details, please see the \textsf{dropcaps}
-% documentation.
-%
-% \section{Examples}
-%
-% \dropping{3}{\itshape{} This}section gives some simple examples
-% of the use of \textsf{dropping}. As a first example, this very
-% paragraph was started by stating the command\linebreak
-% `|\dropping{3}{\itshape{} This}|'
-% in the beginning. Notice the braces (`|{}|') and the space before
-% `This'!
-%
-% \dropping[-6pt]{2}{\slshape\sffamily{} I}n addition, this
-% paragraph gives an example where the optional first argument of
-% |\dropping| is used. The paragraph was started by
-% `|\dropping[-6pt]{2}{\slshape\sffamily{} I}n|', and as you
-% (hopefully!) can see, it works fine to have several font-changing
-% commands in one |\dropping| command.
-%
-% \dropping{4}{T}he third example is an example where the default
-% document font is being used. By now, you probably have figured
-% out that this paragraph is started with `|\dropping{4}{T}he|'. For
-% you to see the full effect of the dropping, there has to be at
-% least four complete lines in the paragraph, and so this text
-% with not so much to say the \LaTeX{} user is going on and
-% on and on and on and on and on\ldots
-%
-% \section{Known Problems}
-%
-% \begin{itemize}
-% \item
-% If |\dropping| is used to start a paragraph which itself
-% starts close to the bottom of a page, the
-% dropped text will hang down into the footer and give a rather weird
-% impression. Avoid this by some (unfortunately manual)
-% page-breaking.
-% \item
-% Really large (more than two lines tall) dropped text is not
-% very beautiful unless the |graphics.cfg| files specifies |dvips|
-% as the default graphics' driver (or an option which in turn
-% calls the |dvips| option).
-% \end{itemize}
-%
-% \section{Acknowledgements}
-%
-% First and most of all, I want to acknowledge Fred~J.\ Lauwers for
-% providing the \textsf{dropcaps} package and letting me use the
-% code thereof (according to the copyright notice in the
-% |dropcaps.sty| file; see also |dropping.ins|).
-% \textsf{dropping} would of course not be
-% what it is today without Fred's work. (Unfortunately, I do not
-% have any current e-mail address of Fred's.)
-%
-% I also want to thank Donald Arsenau (|asnd@reg.triumf.ca|)
-% and Robin Fairbairns\linebreak (|Robin.Fairbairns@cl.cam.ac.uk|) for
-% answering my question to |comp.text.tex| about conditional
-% stripping of strings, as well as Piet van Oostrum (|piet@cs.ruu.nl|)
-% and Alain Ketterlin (|alain@ia1.u-strasbg.fr|) for
-% answering my ``splitting of a string'' question.
-%
-% \section{Sending a Bug Report}
-% \textsf{dropping} is likely to contain bugs. Although, I do
-% not consider this to be a ``supported'' package,
-% reports of bugs in the package are most welcome.
-% Before filing a bug report,
-% please take the following actions:
-% \begin{enumerate}
-% \item Ensure your problem is not due to your own input file,
-% package(s), or class(es);
-% \item Ensure your problem is not covered in the section
-% ``Known Problems'' above;
-% \item Try to locate the problem by writing a minimal
-% \LaTeX{} input file which reproduces the problem.
-% Include the command\\
-% | \setcounter{errorcontextlines}{999}|\\
-% in your input;
-% \item Run your file through \LaTeX ;
-% \item Send a description of your problem, the input file
-% and the log file via e-mail to:\\
-% \hspace*{5mm} \texttt{matsd@sssk.se}.

-% \section{The Code}
-% For the interested reader(s), here is a short description
-% of the code.
-% \iffalse
-%<*paketkod>
-% \fi
-% First, the package is to identify itself:
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1995/12/01]
-\ProvidesPackage{dropping}[1997/06/12 v.0.12]
-% \end{macrocode}
-% Then, some counters, dimensions and a boolean are set:
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\newcount\bigscale
-\newcount\down
-\newdimen\saveunitlength
-\newdimen\wantedheight
-\newif\ifstrtcmmnd \strtcmmndfalse
-% \end{macrocode}
-%
-% The differences between the different graphics' drivers are taken
-% care of by means of options to the package. First, the |dvips|
-% option is declared (code greatefully taken from |dropcaps.sty|).
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\DeclareOption{dvips}{%
-\newcount\wantedcount
-\newcount\actualcount%
-\newdimen\actualheight%
-\def\findsize#1#2{%
-\bigscale=1000%
-\font\BIG=#1 scaled \bigscale%
-\setbox0=\hbox{\BIG #2\/}%
-\actualheight=\ht0%
-\wantedcount=\wantedheight \actualcount=\actualheight%
-\advance\actualcount by 50%
-\divide\actualcount by 100%
-\multiply\wantedcount by 10%
-\divide\wantedcount by \actualcount%
-\font\BIG=#1 scaled \wantedcount%
-\setbox0=\hbox{\BIG #2\/}%
-\bigscale=\wantedcount}}
-% \end{macrocode}
-% Next, the ``non-|dvips|-users'{}'' code from |dropcaps.sty| is
-% declared to be an option, ``|other|'':
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\DeclareOption{other}{%
-\def\nextmagstep#1#2#3{%
-\bigscale=#3%
-\font\BIG=#1 scaled \bigscale%
-\setbox0=\hbox{\BIG #2\/}}%
-\def\findsize#1#2{%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep0}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstephalf}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep1}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep2}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep3}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep4}%
-\ifdim\ht0<\wantedheight%
-\nextmagstep{#1}{#2}{\magstep5}%
-\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi\fi}}
-% \end{macrocode}
-% Following this, the various other graphics' drivers as recognized
-% by the \textsf{graphics} package are declared. The |xdvi| option
-% just calls |dvips| (as in \textsf{graphics}), and so does the
-% |oztex| option\footnote{Thanks to Johan Fr\"oberg
-% (\texttt{emgion@physchem.kth.se}) for testing \textsf{dropping} on
-% his Macintosh.} (a recent release of Oz\TeX{} contains a
-% |graphics.cfg| which calls the |dvips|-option of
-% \textsf{graphics}). All other options
-% call the |other| option. \textbf{Note} if some user(s) find that
-% an option should use |dvips| instead of |other|, please feel free
-% to change in your local |dropping.sty| file as long as you also
-% inform me (via e-mail to |matsd@sssk.se|) of the
-% appropriate change!
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\DeclareOption{xdvi}{\ExecuteOptions{dvips}}
-\DeclareOption{dvipsone}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dviwindo}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{emtex}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dviwin}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{oztex}{\ExecuteOptions{dvips}}
-\DeclareOption{textures}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{pctexps}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{pctexwin}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{pctexhp}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dvi2ps}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dvialw}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dvilaser}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{dvitops}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{psprint}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{pubps}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption{ln}{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-\DeclareOption*{\ExecuteOptions{other}}
-% \end{macrocode}
-% Now it is time to load the |graphics.cfg| file, and if it is not
-% found send a warning to the user and assume |dvips| is
-% around\ldots{} Then in order to free some memory, any remaining
-% option is processed.
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\InputIfFileExists{graphics.cfg}{}{%
-\PackageWarningNoLine{dropping}{%
-You have no `graphics.cfg' file installed.\MessageBreak
-I will assume you are using `dvips'}
-\ExecuteOptions{dvips}}
-\ProcessOptions
-% \end{macrocode}
-%
-% \DescribeMacro{\bigdrop}
-% Next follows Fred~J.\ Lauwers's original command |\bigdrop| except
-% that the |\typeout| statements have been removed.
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\def\bigdrop#1#2#3#4{%
-\saveunitlength=\unitlength%
-\unitlength=\baselineskip%
-\setbox1=\hbox{\the\font I}%
-\wantedheight=#2\baselineskip \advance\wantedheight by -\baselineskip%
-\advance\wantedheight by \ht1%
-\findsize{#3}{#4}%
-\hangindent=\wd0 \advance\hangindent by #1%
-\hangafter=-#2%
-\ifdim\dp0>0.25\baselineskip%
- \loop\ifdim\dp0>\baselineskip
- \advance\baselineskip by \baselineskip
- \advance\hangafter by -1
- \repeat
- \advance\hangafter by -1
- \baselineskip=\unitlength
-\fi%
-\noindent%
-\down=-#2 \advance\down by 1%
-\begin{picture}(0,0)%
-\put(0,\down){\makebox(0,0)[br]{\box0}}%
-\end{picture}%
-\unitlength=\saveunitlength}
-% \end{macrocode}
-% Now we define some internal macros to be able to automize the use
-% of |\bigdrop|. (Thanks to Donald Arsenau, Robin Fairbairns, Piet van
-% Oostrum, and Alain Ketterlin!)
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\def\spltatspc#1 #2\spltatspc{#1}
-\def\spltstrng#1{\expandafter\@split#1\end}
-\def\@split#1 #2\end{\def\strngn{#1}\def\strngtw{#2}}
-\def\isit#1{\expandafter\@isit\string#1\@null}
-\def\@isit#1#2\@null{%
- \ifnum`#1=`\\
- \global\strtcmmndtrue
- \else
- \global\strtcmmndfalse
- \fi
-}
-% \end{macrocode}
-%
-% \DescribeMacro{\dropping}
-% Finally, the macro |\dropping| is defined:
-% \begin{macrocode}
-\newcommand{\dropping}[3][0pt]{%
-\get@external@font%
-\edef\n@vf@nt{\expandafter\spltatspc\external@font \spltatspc}%
-\setbox8=\hbox{#3\get@external@font%
-\global\let\external@font@export\external@font%
-\edef\n@vf@ntb@x{\expandafter\spltatspc\external@font \spltatspc}%

-\let\external@font\external@font@export%
-\edef\xprt@rgtr{\expandafter\spltatspc\external@font\expandafter{}

-\def\xprt@rgfr{#3}
-\fi
-\protect\bigdrop{#1}{#2}{\xprt@rgtr}{\xprt@rgfr}%
