+way is via gloss macros (see sec.~\ref{sec:gmacros}), an alternative (and the
+traditional) way is via a set of commands (see sec.~\ref{sec:glosscmds}).
+Both are described in turn.
+
+\subsection{Gloss macros}\label{sec:gmacros}
+
+\Cvt\ provides two gloss macros:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item \jcsmacro{digloss[\jparam{options}]\{\jparam{gloss line 1}\}\{\jparam{gloss line 2}\}\{\jparam{free translation}\}}\\
+	       typesets two-line glosses with a translation line (the macro name
+	       puns on Greek \lexp{diglossía}, lit. \lmean{two tongues}, \lmean{bilingualism})
+	\item \jcsmacro{trigloss[\jparam{options}]\{\jparam{gloss l.\,1}\}\{\jparam{gloss l.\,2}\}\{\jparam{gloss l.\,3}\}\{\jparam{free tr.}\}}\\
+	       typesets three-line\footnote{The additional line can be useful for instance
+	       to gloss cited forms, morphology, or an additional translation.
+	       See sec.~\ref{sec:glossex} for examples.}
+       	   glosses with a translation line (cf. Greek \lexp{triglossía},
+       	   lit. \lmean{three tongues}, \lmean{trilingualism})
+\end{itemize}
+%
+The example given above would thus be typed as:
+\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={digloss}]
+\digloss{Dit is een Nederlands voorbeeld}
+        {This is a Dutch example}
+        {This is an example in Dutch.}
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+Note that:
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item The \jparam{free translation} argument can be left empty. In this case, no translation line is added
+	      (and no extra space taken).
+	\item The macros automatically markup the lines. By default, the first gloss
+          line is in italics, subsequent lines are set upright, and the free translation in single
+          quotation marks (using the language-sensitive \textsf{csquotes} \cite{csquotes} macros if
+          this package is loaded). This can be customized, though, via the macro options or globally
+          (for the latter, see sec.~\ref{sec:glossfc}).
+\end{itemize}
+
+\medskip
+\noindent The following \joption{\jparam{options}} (key-value pairs) are provided for either macro:
+
+\begin{description}
+	\item[\joption{ex=\jparam{true|false}}] Default: \emph{false}. Wraps the gloss in an example environment
+	      (i.\,e., it is numberered).
+	\item[\joption{tlr=\jparam{true|false}}] Default: \emph{false}. If set to true, the translation line (content
+          of the \jparam{free translation} argument) is set right to the gloss lines, rather than into a new line below.
+          Since the gloss itself is set in a box, this means the \jparam{free translation} will appear lined up with the
+          first line of the gloss. This can be useful when no translation, but an aligned number or something similar,
+          is to be inserted right to the gloss (please refer to sec.~\ref{sec:glossex} for an example).
+	\item[\joption{fsi=\{\jparam{font settings}\}}] Adjusts the font settings of the first gloss line.
+	        Valid values are \LaTeX\ font switches such as \jfcsmacro{textit}, \jfcsmacro{bfseries} etc.
+	\item[\joption{fsii=\{\jparam{font settings}\}}] Adjusts the font settings of the second gloss line.
+	        Valid values are \LaTeX\ font switches such as \jfcsmacro{textit}, \jfcsmacro{bfseries} etc.
+	\item[\joption{fsiii=\{\jparam{font settings}\}}] Adjusts the font settings of the third gloss line.
+	        Valid values are \LaTeX\ font switches such as \jfcsmacro{textit}, \jfcsmacro{bfseries} etc.
+\end{description}
+%
+If given as the argument to a \jcsmacro{digloss} or \jcsmacro{trigloss} macro, the options will only apply to
+this very gloss. If you want to make a permanent change, you can use the macro
+\begin{itemize}
+	\item \jcsmacro{setglossoptions\{\jparam{options}\}}
+\end{itemize}
+and pass either of the above options to it. This will apply to all subsequent glosses (until further global
+change and unless the setting is altered locally via macro option).
+
+Notice, finally, that the words do not have to be typed lining up; instead, \TeX\ 
+counts them.  If the words in the two languages do not correspond 
+one-to-one, you can use curly brackets to group words.
+For example, to print
+\digloss{Dit  is een voorbeeldje      in het Nederlands}
+        {This is a   {little example} in {}  Dutch}
+        {This is a little example in Dutch.}
+you would type:

+\subsection{Glossing with low-level commands}\label{sec:glosscmds}
+
+The gloss macros described above build on low-level commands\footnote{The commands are adapted
+with permission from \texttt{gloss.tex}, by Marcel R. van der Goot.} which can also
+be used directly (this was actually the only way up to \cvt\ 2.0 which introduced the macros).
+Low-level commands can be useful if you want to do fancy things in a gloss.
+Note, though, that using them also has limitations:
+Some commands cannot be used inside macros (such as footnotes), and the markup is not done automatically
+in all cases (as documented in what follows); furthermore, you cannot make use of the options the macros have.
+Thus, we strongly suggest to use the macros,
+unless you have very good reasons not to do that.
+
+The following is a complete list of all low-level glossing commands:
+\begin{description}\setlength\itemsep{0pt}
+	\item[\jcsmacro{gll}] introduces two lines of words vertically aligned, and 
+	      activates an environment very similar to \jfenv{flushleft}.
+	      The two lines are separated by a normal line break (carriage return).
+	      This is possible since the command makes the line-ending character active.
+	      As a consequence, however, this command does not work inside macros
+	      (such as \jfcsmacro{footnote}).
+	\item[\jcsmacro{glll}] is like \jcsmacro{gll} except that it introduces
+	      \emph{three} lines of lined-up words.
+	\item[\jcsmacro{xgll}] is similar to \jcsmacro{gll} except that it does not make
+	       the line ending active. It thus works inside macros such as footnotes but
+	       requires explicit gloss line termination via \jcsmacro{xgle}.
+	\item[\jcsmacro{xglll}] is similar to \jcsmacro{glll} except that it does not make
+	      the line ending active. It thus works inside macros such as footnotes but
+	      requires explicit gloss line termination via \jcsmacro{xgle}.
+	\item[\jcsmacro{xgle}] is a gloss line ending marker to be used with \jcsmacro{xgll}
+	      and \jcsmacro{xglll}.
+	\item[\jcsmacro{glt}] ends the set of lined-up lines and introduces a line 
+	      (or more) of translation. Note that this command does not markup the translation
+	      line (no automatic enquoting). Also, it outputs an empty line if no text follows.
+	\item[\jcsmacro{gln}] is like \jcsmacro{glt} but does not start a new line 
+	      (useful when no translation follows but you want to put a number on the 
+	       right).
+	\item[\jcsmacro{glot\{\jparam{free translation}\}}] is an alternative to \jcsmacro{glt}
+	     and a smarter way to insert a translation line. Other than \jcsmacro{glt}, it marks up
+	     (by default: enquotes) the translation line. Also, it does not add an empty line if the
+	     translation is empty. This command has been introduced in \cvt\ 2.0.
+	\item[\jcsmacro{glend}] ends the special \jfenv{flushleft}-like environment.
+\end{description}
+%
+Using the low-level commands, the examples given above would be
+coded as follows:

      This is a Dutch example. 
 \glt `This is an example in Dutch.'

-Note that \cvt\ locally activates the end of line in glosses in order to identify the different lines of the gloss (via category code change). This does not work inside macros (e.\,g., if the gloss is in a footnote). To work around this, a special version of the \jcsmacro{gll} macro is provided that does without the character activation: \jcsmacro{xgll}. This can also be used in macro arguments; however, the end of each gloss line needs to be explicitly specified by the \jcsmacro{xgle} macro in this case. If you want to put the above gloss in a footnote, thus, you would type:
+%
+Observe that you need to markup (i.\,e., enquote) the translation line yourself if you use \jcsmacro{glt}.

+\gll Dit is een Nederlands voorbeeld
+     This is a Dutch example
+\glot{This is an example in Dutch.}
+\glend
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The advantage of \jcsmacro{glot} is that you can easily customize the translation markup globally.
+Also, \jcsmacro{glot} uses the language-sensitive \textsf{csquotes} \cite{csquotes} macros if
+this package is loaded (see sec.~\ref{sec:glossfc}).
+
+Since \jcsmacro{gll} and \jcsmacro{glll} locally activate the end of line in glosses in order to
+identify the different lines of the gloss (via category code change), they do not work inside macros

-Sometimes, an additional fourth line is needed (for instance to gloss cited forms, morphology, or an additional translation). To support this as well,
-\cvt\ provides \jcsmacro{glll} and \jcsmacro{xglll}, each allowing for, and actually requiring, an additional line (see below for an example).
+Note, again, that the macros described in sec.~\ref{sec:gmacros} do not have this problem.

+\jcsmacro{gln}, and ends with \jcsmacro{glend}.
+Layout is critical in the part preceding \jcsmacro{glt} or \jcsmacro{gln}, and fairly free afterward.
+
+
+\subsection{Customization}\label{sec:glossfc}
+
+The font settings of each gloss line can be customized globally by way of
+the global options macro \jcsmacro{setglossoptions} and the \joption{fsi},
+\joption{fsii} or \joption{fsiii} key, respectively (see sec.~\ref{sec:gmacros}).
+Alternatively, you can also redefine these macros:
+\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={glosslineone,glosslinetwo,glosslinethree}]
+\newcommand*\glosslineone{\normalfont\itshape}% font settings 1st gloss line
+\newcommand*\glosslinetwo{\normalfont\upshape}% font settings 2nd gloss line
+\newcommand*\glosslinethree{\normalfont\upshape}% font settings 3rd gloss line
+\end{lstlisting}
+%
+The markup of the translation line (if the \jcsmacro{digloss} or \jcsmacro{trigloss}
+macro or the \jcsmacro{glot} low-level command is used) can be customized by redefining
+the following macro.
+\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={glosslinetrans,covenquote}]
+\newcommand*\glosslinetrans[1]{\covenquote{#1}}
+\end{lstlisting}
+Note that for \jcsmacro{covenquote}, as used in the default definition, \cvt\ checks at
+document begin whether the \textsf{csquotes} \cite{csquotes} package is loaded. If so,
+it uses its language-sensitive \jcsmacro{enquote*} macro for enquoting the translation.
+If not, a fallback quotation (using English single quotation marks) is used. The usage of
+\textsf{csquotes} is highly recommended!
+
+
+\subsection{Examples}\label{sec:glossex}
+
+This section gives some further examples.  First, a sentence with three lines aligned, 
 instead of just two:
-\glll  Hoc est aliud exemplum.
-       \textsc{n.sg.nom} \textsc{3sg} \textsc{n.sg.nom} \textsc{n.sg.nom}
-       This is another example.
-\glt   `This is another example.'
-\glend
-This is typed as:
-\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={glll,glt,glend}]
-\glll  Hoc est aliud exemplum.
-       \textsc{n.sg.nom} \textsc{3sg} \textsc{n.sg.nom} \textsc{n.sg.nom}
-       This is another example.
-\glt   `This is another example.'
-\glend
+\trigloss[fsii={\normalfont\scshape}]
+         {Hoc est aliud exemplum}
+         {n.sg.nom 3sg n.sg.nom n.sg.nom}
+         {This is another example}
+         {This is another example.}
+In order to produce this, we use the \jcsmacro{trigloss} macro for a three-line gloss
+and pass the \joption{fsii} option with the respective font switches in order to
+get small capitals in the second line:
+\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={trigloss}]
+\trigloss[fsii={\normalfont\scshape}]
+         {Hoc est aliud exemplum}
+         {n.sg.nom 3sg n.sg.nom n.sg.nom}
+         {This is another example}
+         {This is another example.}
 \end{lstlisting}
+%
 Next, an example with a gloss but no translation, with an example number 
 at the right:
-\gll  Hoc habet numerum.
-      This has number
-\gln  \hfill (\exampleno)
-\glend
-That one was typed as:
-\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={gll,gln,glend,exampleno}]
-\gll  Hoc habet numerum.
-      This has number
-\gln  \hfill (\exampleno)
-\glend
+\digloss[tlr]{Hoc habet numerum}
+             {This has number}
+             {\hfill (\exampleno)}
+%
+That one was typed using the option \joption{tlr}:
+\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={digloss,exampleno}]
+\digloss[tlr]{Hoc habet numerum}
+             {This has number}
+             {\hfill (\exampleno)}
 \end{lstlisting}
 Finally we'll put a glossed sentence inside the \texttt{example} 
 environment, which is a very common way of using it:
-\begin{example}
-\gll  Hoc habet numerum praepositum.
-      This has number preposed
-\glt  `This one has a number in front of it.'
-\glend
-\end{example}
+\digloss[ex]{Hoc habet numerum praepositum}
+            {This has number preposed}
+            {This one has a number in front of it.}
 This last example was, of course, typed as:
-\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={gll,glt,glend}]
+\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={digloss}]
+\digloss[ex]{Hoc habet numerum praepositum}
+            {This has number preposed}
+            {This one has a number in front of it.}
+\end{lstlisting}
+although you could also construct it manually as:
+\begin{lstlisting}[moretexcs={digloss}]
 \begin{example}
-\gll  Hoc habet numerum praepositum.
-      This has number preposed
-\glt  `This one has a number in front of it.'
-\glend
+\digloss{Hoc habet numerum praepositum}
+        {This has number preposed}
+        {This one has a number in front of it.}
 \end{example}
 \end{lstlisting}
-Notice that every glossed sentence begins with either \jcsmacro{gll}, \jcsmacro{xgll},
-\jcsmacro{glll} or \jcsmacro{xglll}, then contains either \jcsmacro{glt} or \jcsmacro{gln}, and ends 
-with \jcsmacro{glend}.  Layout is critical in the part preceding 
-\jcsmacro{glt} or \jcsmacro{gln}, and fairly free afterward.
-
-The font settings of each gloss line can be customized by redefining these macros:
-\begin{lstlisting}
-\newcommand*\glosslineone{\normalfont\itshape}% font settings 1st gloss line
-\newcommand*\glosslinetwo{\normalfont\upshape}% font settings 2nd gloss line
-\newcommand*\glosslinethree{\normalfont\upshape}% font settings 3rd gloss line
-\end{lstlisting}
-The markup of the translation line has to be done manually.
