+version 2005/12/01 or later.
+
+This work has the LPPL maintenance status `maintained'.
+
+The Current Maintainer of this work is Mike Kaufmann.
+
+This work consists of the files notespages.dtx and notespages.ins
+and the derived files notespages.sty and np-test.tex.
+
+
+1. What is it
+The NotesPages package provides one macros to insert a single notes page and
+another to fill the document with multiple notes pages, until the total number
+of pages (so far) is a multiple of a given number. A third command can be used
+to fill half empty pages with a notes area.
+
+This package is in a nearly finished state of development (it's version 0.8).
+It is useful, but there are some restrictions. And although it's not planned,
+the user interface may change in the future.
+
+
+2. Generating notespages.sty
+Simply run: tex notespages.ins
+
+The file notepages.dtx also contains an example. You will be asked,
+if you want to generate it.
+
+
+3. Making the Documentation
+To get contents, cross references and index right, run TeX and makeindex
+as follows:
+
+pdflatex notespages.dtx
+pdflatex notespages.dtx
+makeindex -s gind.ist notespages.idx
+pdflatex notespages.dtx
+
+
+4. Making the Example File
+To get it right, run LaTeX twice. It requires KOMA-Script and TikZ.
+Oh, and it takes quite some time to compile.
+
+
+5. Files
+README this file
+notespages.dtx the package
+notespages.ins the generator
+notespages.pdf the manual
+np-test.pdf the example file

+\tableofcontents
+
+\secleveli{Layout variations}
+\seclevelii{Default settings}
+First let's start with the default settings. The next three and a half pages are
+filled with \verb|\notesfill|, \verb|\notespage|, and \verb|\notespages|. The
+latter will produce two pages, in order to fill up the document to a multiple
+of 4 pages.
+
+The commands are:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill
+\notespage
+\notespages
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill
+\notespage
+\notespages
+
+\seclevelii{The options \textsf{startnotes} and \textsf{allowfloats}}
+To show the effect of these options, some text and a float, which doesn't fit on
+this page, is needed. For the float the positioning \verb|[htb]| was used. After
+the float \verb|\notespage| was used once.
+
+Test for referencing: \autoref{fig:rect} on \autopageref{fig:rect}.
+
+\fillit[1-3]
+
+\begin{figure}[htb]
+\centering
+\textcolor{lightgray}{\rule{0.8\textwidth}{0.5\textheight}}
+\caption{Just a rectangle}\label{fig:rect}
+\end{figure}
+
+\notespage
+
+Now let's do this again, but this time using \verb|\notespage[startnotes=newpage]|.
+
+Test for referencing: \autoref{fig:rect2} on \autopageref{fig:rect2}.
+
+\fillit[1-3]
+
+\begin{figure}[htb]
+\centering
+\textcolor{lightgray}{\rule{0.8\textwidth}{0.5\textheight}}
+\caption{Another rectangle}\label{fig:rect2}
+\end{figure}
+
+\notespage[startnotes=newpage]
+
+Ok, now lets add the option \textsf{allowfloats} and see what happens. This time
+\verb|\notespages| \verb|[startnotes=newpage,allowfloats]| is used, filling the document
+up to page 16. Note: the header is already changed on the next page.
+
+Test for referencing: \autoref{fig:rect3} on \autopageref{fig:rect3}.
+
+\begin{figure}[htb]
+\centering
+\textcolor{lightgray}{\rule{0.8\textwidth}{0.5\textheight}}
+\caption{A third rectangle}\label{fig:rect3}
+\end{figure}
+
+\notespages[startnotes=newpage,allowfloats]
+
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{pagestyle}}
+The next 3 pages show notes pages with different page styles. The commands are:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notespage[pagestyle=empty]
+\notespage[pagestyle=plain]
+\notespage[pagestyle=useheadings]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Btw.: The pagestyle for this document was defined deliberately this way to see
+both header marks as often as possible. For this, the package \textsf{scrpage2}
+from \textsf{KOMA-Script} was used.
+
+\notespage[pagestyle=empty]
+\notespage[pagestyle=plain]
+\notespage[pagestyle=useheadings]
+
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{notesstyle}}
+Up until now, the default \textsf{notesstyle} (\textsf{\textit{grid}}) was used.
+The next example shows the other four. The commands are:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notespage[notesstyle=plain]
+\notespage[vparts=35,notesstyle=lines]
+\notespage[notesstyle=vlines]
+\notespage[notesstyle=text]
+\notespage[vacant]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+For the second page \texttt{vparts=35} was used, because the default is 0 and
+therefore the notes area would be empty. The fourth page doesn't realy make sense,
+because the notes style \textsf{text} was meant to be used for otherwise empty
+pages. For this the meta option \textsf{vacant} was introduced. Its effect can be
+seen on the fifth page.
+
+\notespage[notesstyle=plain]
+\notespage[vparts=35,notesstyle=lines]
+\notespage[notesstyle=vlines]
+\notespage[notesstyle=text]
+\notespage[vacant]
+
+\seclevelii{The options \textsf{hparts}, \textsf{vparts}, and \textsf{usenotesareaheight}}
+Now let's play around a little with the options \textsf{hparts} and \textsf{vparts}.
+As mentioned in the manual, a value of 1 will always draw two lines. Let's take a
+look. The commands are:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[vparts=1,notesstyle=lines]
+\notespage[hparts=1,notesstyle=vlines]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill[vparts=1,notesstyle=lines]
+\notespage[hparts=1,notesstyle=vlines]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1]
+
+With the same values for both, one gets rectangles with the same aspect ratio
+as the text body. The command:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[hparts=30,vparts=30]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill[hparts=30,vparts=30]
+
+With the option \textsf{usenotesareaheight} the height of a vertical part will
+be calculated based on the height of the notes area instead of \verb|\textheight|.
+Thus, there will be the exact number of parts given to \textsf{vparts}.
+
+But first, lets see it without \textsf{usenotesareaheight}. The command:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[hparts=2,vparts=2]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill[hparts=2,vparts=2]
+
+And now, the same command, but this time with the option \textsf{usenotesareaheight}.
+The command is:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[hparts=2,vparts=2,usenotesareaheight]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill[hparts=2,vparts=2,usenotesareaheight]
+
+But with the same command the height of a vertical part can be different each
+time, as can be seen below.
+
+\fillit[1-2]
+
+\notesfill[hparts=2,vparts=2,usenotesareaheight]
+
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{titlestyle}}
+The following pages show the possible \textsf{titlestyle}s. Since the top most
+rectangles for the default appearance of the notes area will only be shown, if they
+fit completely into the notes area, the latter was change to be just a rectangle.
+Without this, the real distance between notes title and notes area couldn't be seen.
+The choice \textsf{minisec} wasn't used here, so this file can be compiled with
+classes, which don't support the command \verb|\minisec|. The commands are:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[hparts=1,vparts=1]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=subsection]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=subsubsection]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=text]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=none]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill[hparts=1,vparts=1]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=subsection]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=subsubsection]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=text]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=none]
+
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{titletext}}
+With the option \textsf{titletext} a new text for the notes title can be given.
+If the new text is not just a single word, it should be given in braces. And if
+it contains a comma or an equality sign it must be given in braces.
+
+The new text is also used as the text for the header mark, if the option
+\textsf{marktext} is not used. The commands are:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[hparts=1,vparts=1,titletext={Please, make some notes here}]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titletext={Scribble page}]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill[hparts=1,vparts=1,titletext={Please, make some notes here}]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titletext={Scribble page}]
+
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{titleskip}}
+Especially if \texttt{titlestyle=text} is given, the option \textsf{titleskip}
+is useful. With it, some space can be put between the notes title and the notes
+area. This is shown here. Compare it to page 37. The command is:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=text,titleskip=2ex]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=text,titleskip=2ex]
+
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{titlenotesfill}}
+The option \textsf{titlenotesfill} will move the notes area down to the end of
+the page. This can only be shown with the \textsf{notesstyle} \textsf{\textit{text}},
+for whitch it doesn't realy make sense. But if someone defines a custom notes style,
+which doesn't use the whole notes area, the option can be used to move it down.
+The command is:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=text,filltopfill=false,titlenotesfill]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notesfill[notesstyle=text,filltopfill=false,titlenotesfill]
+
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{mark}}
+Up unitl now, \textsf{mark} was set to \textsf{both}. The next pages will show
+the other choices. The commands are:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notespage[mark=keep,titletext={Notes (keep)}]
+\notespage[mark=right,titletext={Notes (right)}]
+\notespage[mark=left,titletext={Notes (left)}]
+\notespage[mark=right,titletext={Notes (right)}]
+\notespage[titletext={Notes (both)}]
+\notespage[mark=left,titletext={Notes (left)}]
+\notespage[mark=right,titletext={Notes (right)}]
+\notespage[mark=left,titletext={Notes (left)}]
+\notespage[titletext={Notes (both)}]
+\notespage[mark=right,titletext={Notes (right)}]
+\notespage[mark=left,titletext={Notes (left)}]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The additional pages were put in to test, if switching between the choices of
+\textsf{mark} works.
+
+\notespage[mark=keep,titletext={Notes (keep)}]
+\notespage[mark=right,titletext={Notes (right)}]
+\notespage[mark=left,titletext={Notes (left)}]
+\notespage[mark=right,titletext={Notes (right)}]
+\notespage[titletext={Notes (both)}]
+\notespage[mark=left,titletext={Notes (left)}]
+\notespage[mark=right,titletext={Notes (right)}]
+\notespage[mark=left,titletext={Notes (left)}]
+\notespage[titletext={Notes (both)}]
+\notespage[mark=right,titletext={Notes (right)}]
+\notespage[mark=left,titletext={Notes (left)}]
+
+\seclevelii{The options \textsf{marktext} and \textsf{markuppercase}}
+The option \textsf{marktext} is used the set a text for the header mark. This is
+useful, if the title text is to long for the header. Again, if the text contains
+more then one word it should be given in braces, and if it contains a comma or an
+equality sign it must be given in braces.
+
+Some classes set the header marks in uppercase letters. To do this for the header
+marks of a notes page, the option \textsf{markuppercase} exists. It is set
+automatically for the standard classes, the \textsf{KOMA-Script} classes and
+\textsf{memoir}. For other classes, the default is \textsf{\textit{false}}.
+The setting can be changed with this option, as shown in the next example.
+
+The command is:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notespage[marktext=Scribbel,markuppercase,titlestyle=text,
+ titletext={This is a very long text for a scribble page. And it
+ doesn't just end after one sentence, so it is realy too long for
+ the header.}]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\notespage[marktext=Scribbel,markuppercase,titlestyle=text,
+ titletext={This is a very long text for a scribble page. And it
+ doesn't just end after one sentence, so it is realy too long for
+ the header.}]
+
+\secleveli{Controlling the number of notes pages}
+\seclevelii{The options \textsf{multiple}, \textsf{minpages}, and \textsf{endpages}}
+The way to set these options is to think as follows: the number of pages must be
+a multiple of $d$, at least $m$ notes pages are needed, and at the end $e$ pages
+are needed for other purposes. Then just set \textsf{multiple} $=d$, \textsf{minpages}
+$=m$, and \textsf{endpages} $=e$.
+
+As an example, lets assume the number of pages should be a multiple of 4, at least
+one notes page should appear and one page is needed after the notes pages. The
+options for this are \verb|multiple=4,minpages=1,endpages=1| (\textsf{multiple}
+could be omitted, because 4 is the default value).
+
+Now this is page 57, therefore three pages are needed to fill the document to a
+multiple of 4. But there should be one page at the end for other stuff. So only
+two pages will be inserted to fulfill \verb|endpages=1|. Since there are already
+two notes pages, \verb|minpages=1| is fullfilled.
+
+If this would have been page 55, there would be 4 notes pages. Page 56 would be a
+notes page to fulfill \verb|minpages=1|, which would also fulfill \verb|multiple=4|
+but violate \verb|endpages=1|. Because of that, three additional notes pages would
+be inserted, so all three conditions are met.
+
+\notespages[multiple=4,minpages=1,endpages=1]
+
+Here we are on page 60, the page for other purposes (like for example contact
+information on the back of a manual).
+
+With \verb|minpages=0| nothing would change here. And with \verb|endpages=0|
+this page would be a notes page too.
+
+Besides the maximum and minimum values for the options, there are no limits on
+the values and there are no dependencies between them. For example, \textsf{endpages}
+may be greater than \textsf{multiple}.
+
+\seclevelii{Other examples}
+Since this is page 60 and it's a multiple of 4, a \verb|\notespages| here with
+the default setting (\verb|multiple=4,minpages=0,endpages=0|) will do nothing.
+Let's try it:
+
+\notespages
+
+Look into the source of this file, there is a \verb|\notespages| command between
+this paragraph and the former one.
+
+Inserting an exact number $n$ of notes pages can be done with
+\verb|multiple=1,minpages=|$n$. Here any value for \textsf{endpages} would have
+no effect.
+
+\secleveli{Controlling notes fills}
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{fillminspace} and \textsf{fillmaxspace}}
+The length given to \textsf{fillminspace} is only used to decide, if a notes fill
+should appear on a page, while \textsf{fillmaxspace} only limits its height. They
+are indepentent from each other. so it's possible to set \textsf{fillminspace} to
+a value greater than \textsf{fillmaxspace}. For example,
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[fillmaxspace=0.4\textheight,fillminspace=0.5\textheight]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent
+will insert a notes fill on this page, but not on the next one. But
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[fillmaxspace=0.4\textheight,fillminspace=0.2\textheight]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent
+will insert a notes fill on the page after that, allthough it has the same amount
+of text.
+
+\notesfill[fillmaxspace=0.4\textheight,fillminspace=0.5\textheight]
+
+\fillit[1-3]
+
+\notesfill[fillmaxspace=0.4\textheight,fillminspace=0.5\textheight]
+
+\newpage
+\fillit[1-3]
+
+\notesfill[fillmaxspace=0.4\textheight,fillminspace=0.2\textheight]
+
+\seclevelii{The options \textsf{filltopskip}}
+The option \textsf{filltopskip} is used to get a minimum distance between the text
+and the notes fill. In order to show its effect the \textsf{titlestyle} is changed
+\textsf{\textit{text}}. The commands are
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[titlestyle=text]
+\notesfill[titlestyle=text,filltopskip=2ex]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Just compare this page to the next one.
+
+\fillit[3]
+
+\notesfill[titlestyle=text]
+
+The different space between the notes title and the nots area here is due to
+the fact, that only full vertical parts are drawn.
+
+\fillit[3]
+
+\notesfill[titlestyle=text,filltopskip=2ex]
+
+\seclevelii{The option \textsf{filltopfill}}
+As can be seen on page 61, the notes fill is moved to the bottom of the page.
+This is due to the fact, that by default \textsf{filltopfill} is set to
+\textsf{\textit{true}}. With the command
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[fillmaxspace=0.4\textheight,filltopfill=false]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent
+the notes fill is not moved down, as can be seen here.
+
+\notesfill[fillmaxspace=0.4\textheight,filltopfill=false]
+
+\seclevelii{The restriction regarding \textsf{notesfill}}
+As mentioned in the manual, footnotes and bottom floats will appear below the
+notes fill, as shown here.\footnote{Unfortunately, this is not easy to fix.}
+But at least, it has the right height.

+\secleveli{Advanced commands}
+\seclevelii{The command \texttt{\textbackslash setnotespages}}
+This command is used to change the settings globally. It takes a key value list,
+where all options can be used. It is possible to use the command everywhere in the
+document, changing the settings from the point of its appearance on. For example,
+instead of writing
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notesfill[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=text,filltopskip=2ex,
+ titletext=\textsf{\textbf{Scribble}},titleskip=1ex]
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=text,filltopskip=2ex,
+ titletext=\textsf{\textbf{Scribble}},titleskip=1ex]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent
+it is easier to write
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\setnotespages{hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=text,filltopskip=2ex,
+ titletext=\textsf{\textbf{Scribble}},titleskip=1ex}
+\notesfill
+\notespage
+\setnotespages{default}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent
+Note, that on the next page the formatting for the \textsf{titletext} is used
+for the header too. This can be circumvented by a) also setting \textsf{marktext}
+or b) defining your own title style (see \autoref{sec:deftitlestyle}).
+
+At the end, the package defaults are restored, so following examles start from
+there.
+
+\setnotespages{hparts=1,vparts=1,titlestyle=text,filltopskip=2ex,
+ titletext=\textsf{\textbf{Scribble}},titleskip=1ex}
+\notesfill
+\notespage
+\setnotespages{default}
+
+\seclevelii{The command \texttt{\textbackslash definenotesoption}}
+This command is used to define a new meta option. It is similar to \verb|\setnotespages|,
+but instead of changing the settings, the settings are assigned to a name, which
+can then be used as an option for the commands of this package. With this, the
+last example can be realised with
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\definenotesoption{scribblepage}{default,hparts=1,vparts=1,
+ titlestyle=text,filltopskip=2ex,titletext=\textsf{\textbf{Scribble}},
+ titleskip=1ex,marktext=Scribble}
+\notesfill[scribblepage]
+\notespage[scribblepage]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\noindent
+Here the option \textsf{default} was used, in order to always keep the same
+appearance, even if the settings were changed with \verb|\setnotespages|. And
+the problem with the header marks in the previous example was solved using
+\textsf{marktext}.
+
+After its definition, the new option \textsf{scribblepage} can also be used in
+\verb|\setnotespages| or another \verb|\definenotesoption|.
+
+\definenotesoption{scribblepage}{default,hparts=1,vparts=1,
+ titlestyle=text,filltopskip=2ex,titletext=\textsf{\textbf{Scribble}},
+ titleskip=1ex,marktext=Scribble}
+\notesfill[scribblepage]
+\notespage[scribblepage]
+
+\seclevelii{The command \texttt{\textbackslash definetitlestyle}}
+\label{sec:deftitlestyle}
+With this command a new title style can be defined. The first argument is the
+name for the new style, which can be used as a new choice for the option
+\textsf{titlestyle} after the definition. The second argument contains the macros
+to format the title.
+
+In order to get the text set with the option \textsf{titletext} the command
+\verb|\notestitletext| must be used where the title should appear. But of course,
+it is possible to put in some text. If the indentation by \verb|\parindent| is
+unwanted, the definition should start with \verb|\noindent|. And finally, there
+has to be a \verb|\par| at the end. That said, if a predefined command is used,
+which somehow uses \verb|\noindent| and \verb|\par|, they are no longer necessary.
+For example, the title styles \textsf{\textit{section}} and \textsf{\textit{text}}
+could have been defined with
+\begin{verbatim}
+\definetitlestyle{section}{\section*{\notestitletext}}
+\definetitlestyle{text}{\noindent\notestitletext\par}
+\end{verbatim}
+Btw.: existing title styles should not be redifined, as this may cause problems.
+
+Now lets define a new title style. Here is the example from the manual:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\definetitlestyle{boldred}{\noindent\textcolor{red}%
+ {\textbf{\notestitletext}}\par}
+\notesfill[scribblepage,titletext={Bold Red Note},
+ titlestyle=boldred,fillminspace=0.1\textheight]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Here the option \textsf{scribblepage} from the last example was used. And then
+\textsf{titletext} and \textsf{titlestyle} were added, overwriting some of the
+settings done with \textsf{scribblepage}. This shows the importance of the order
+of options. Putting \textsf{scribblepage} at the end would have overwritten the
+other options.
+
+Now, it is possible to put some text directly into the definition. But keep in
+mind, this text will not appear in the headers. Here an example:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\definetitlestyle{prefix}{\noindent Note on:
+ \textcolor{blue}{\notestitletext}\par}
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titleskip=1ex,titletext={Title Styles},
+ titlestyle=prefix]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\definetitlestyle{boldred}{\noindent\textcolor{red}%
+ {\textbf{\notestitletext}}\par}
+\notesfill[scribblepage,titletext={Bold Red Note},
+ titlestyle=boldred,fillminspace=0.1\textheight]
+
+\definetitlestyle{prefix}{\noindent Note on:
+ \textcolor{blue}{\notestitletext}\par}
+\notespage[hparts=1,vparts=1,titleskip=1ex,titletext={Title Styles},
+ titlestyle=prefix]
+
+\seclevelii{The command \texttt{\textbackslash definenotestyle}}
+\label{sec:defnotesstyle}
+The notes style provided with \textsf{NotesPages} are just basic ones. With this
+command it is possible to define your own styles, which can be quite fancy. But
+lets start with the simple example from the manual:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\definenotesstyle{yellow}{\color{LightYellow}%
+ \rule{\textwidth}{\remainingtextheight}}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=yellow]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Again, the first argument is the name of the new style, which can then be used as
+a new choice for the option \textsf{notesstyle}. And the second argument contains
+the macros to create the notes area. Here \verb|\remainingtextheight| has to be
+used to get the height of the notes area.
+
+\definenotesstyle{yellow}{\color{LightYellow}%
+ \rule{\textwidth}{\remainingtextheight}}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=yellow]
+
+For the next example lets create a double frame around the notes area, using the
+\LaTeX\ \textsf{picture} environment:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newdimen\innerwidth
+\newdimen\innerheight
+\definenotesstyle{dframe}{%
+ \innerwidth\textwidth\advance\innerwidth-10mm\relax
+ \innerheight\remainingtextheight\advance\innerheight-10mm\relax
+ \let\unitlength\relax
+ \begin{picture}(\textwidth,\remainingtextheight)(0pt,0pt)
+ \color{lightgray}
+ \put(0pt,0pt){\framebox(\textwidth,\remainingtextheight){}}
+ \put(5mm,5mm){\framebox(\innerwidth,\innerheight){}}
+ \end{picture}}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=dframe]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Here first two dimens are needed to calculate the height and width of the inner
+frame. These length are calculated first. Then a trick is used to make the
+\textsf{picture} environment work with lengths: \verb|\unitlength| is set to
+\verb|\relax|, thus disabling it. Caution: this requires to give the optional
+argument for an offset as \verb|(0pt,0pt)|, otherwise an error will occur.
+Additionally, a color for the frames is set. Since the new notes style is used
+within a group, disabling \verb|\unitlength| and setting a color without resetting
+them has no repercussions outside the \verb|\notesfill|.
+
+\newdimen\innerwidth
+\newdimen\innerheight
+\definenotesstyle{dframe}{%
+ \innerwidth\textwidth\advance\innerwidth-10mm\relax
+ \innerheight\remainingtextheight\advance\innerheight-10mm\relax
+ \let\unitlength\relax
+ \begin{picture}(\textwidth,\remainingtextheight)(0pt,0pt)
+ \color{lightgray}
+ \put(0pt,0pt){\framebox(\textwidth,\remainingtextheight){}}
+ \put(5mm,5mm){\framebox(\innerwidth,\innerheight){}}
+ \end{picture}}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=dframe]
+
+It is also possible to use \textsf{TikZ} to define notes styles. Here the bounding
+box is used to keep the size of the picture to the exact size of the notes area.
+For the text \verb|\notesareatext| is used, thus using the text passed to the option
+\textsf{notestext}.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\definenotesstyle{slash}{%
+ \begin{tikzpicture}[color=gray!25]
+ \useasboundingbox (0,0) rectangle (\textwidth,\remainingtextheight);
+ \clip (0,0) rectangle (\textwidth,\remainingtextheight);
+ \draw[line width=2cm]
+ (0,0) to node[color=black,sloped]{\textsf{\notesareatext}}
+ (\textwidth,\remainingtextheight);
+ \end{tikzpicture}}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=slash]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\definenotesstyle{slash}{%
+ \begin{tikzpicture}[color=gray!25]
+ \useasboundingbox (0,0) rectangle (\textwidth,\remainingtextheight);
+ \clip (0,0) rectangle (\textwidth,\remainingtextheight);
+ \draw[line width=2cm]
+ (0,0) to node[color=black,sloped]{\textsf{\notesareatext}}
+ (\textwidth,\remainingtextheight);
+ \end{tikzpicture}}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=slash]
+
+Here is another example using \textsf{TikZ}. It defines a mm graph paper, which
+always has a whole number of cm in both direction and is centered in the notes
+area.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newdimen\xoffset
+\newdimen\yoffset
+\definenotesstyle{mmgp}{%
+ \begin{tikzpicture}[color=gray!25]
+ \pgfmathsetlength{\xoffset}{
+ (\textwidth-(floor(\textwidth/1cm+0.01)*1cm))/2}
+ \pgfmathsetlength{\yoffset}{
+ (\remainingtextheight-(floor(\remainingtextheight/1cm+0.01)*1cm))/2}
+ \useasboundingbox (0,0) rectangle (\textwidth,\remainingtextheight);
+ \draw[xshift=\xoffset,yshift=\yoffset,very thin]
+ (0,0) grid [step=1mm]
+ (\textwidth-2\xoffset,\remainingtextheight-2\yoffset);
+ \draw[xshift=\xoffset,yshift=\yoffset,line width=0.5pt]
+ (0,0) grid [step=5mm]
+ (\textwidth-2\xoffset,\remainingtextheight-2\yoffset);
+ \draw[xshift=\xoffset,yshift=\yoffset,thick]
+ (0,0) grid [step=1cm]
+ (\textwidth-2\xoffset,\remainingtextheight-2\yoffset);
+ \end{tikzpicture}}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=mmgp]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\newdimen\xoffset
+\newdimen\yoffset
+\definenotesstyle{mmgp}{%
+ \begin{tikzpicture}[color=gray!25]
+ \pgfmathsetlength{\xoffset}{
+ (\textwidth-(floor(\textwidth/1cm+0.01)*1cm))/2}
+ \pgfmathsetlength{\yoffset}{
+ (\remainingtextheight-(floor(\remainingtextheight/1cm+0.01)*1cm))/2}
+ \useasboundingbox (0,0) rectangle (\textwidth,\remainingtextheight);
+ \draw[xshift=\xoffset,yshift=\yoffset,very thin]
+ (0,0) grid [step=1mm]
+ (\textwidth-2\xoffset,\remainingtextheight-2\yoffset);
+ \draw[xshift=\xoffset,yshift=\yoffset,line width=0.5pt]
+ (0,0) grid [step=5mm]
+ (\textwidth-2\xoffset,\remainingtextheight-2\yoffset);
+ \draw[xshift=\xoffset,yshift=\yoffset,thick]
+ (0,0) grid [step=1cm]
+ (\textwidth-2\xoffset,\remainingtextheight-2\yoffset);
+ \end{tikzpicture}}
+\notesfill[notesstyle=mmgp]
+
+The next example is just for showing the effect of the option \textsf{titlenotesfill}.
+It is not realy useful (unless you want to torture your readers for scribbling in
+your painfully worded masterpiece by making them write in circles). Here the
+bounding box is set to a square.
+
+Caution: since the height is fixed, this notes style is not realy suitable for a
+notes fill. If it doesn't fit on the page, it will be moved to the next.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\definenotesstyle{spiral}{%
+ \begin{tikzpicture}[color=gray!25]
+ \useasboundingbox (-0.5\textwidth,-0.5\textwidth) rectangle
+ (0.5\textwidth,0.5\textwidth);
+ \draw[domain=0:22*3.14159,smooth,variable=\t,samples=1000] plot
+ ({-0.1*\t*sin(\t r)},{0.1*\t*cos(\t r)});
+ \end{tikzpicture}}
+\notespage[notesstyle=spiral,titletext={Write in Circles}]
+\notespage[notesstyle=spiral,titletext={Write in Circles},
+ titlenotesfill]
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\definenotesstyle{spiral}{%
+ \begin{tikzpicture}[color=gray!25]

+ ({-0.1*\t*sin(\t r)},{0.1*\t*cos(\t r)});
+ \end{tikzpicture}}
+\notespage[notesstyle=spiral,titletext={Write in Circles}]
+\notespage[notesstyle=spiral,titletext={Write in Circles},
+ titlenotesfill]
+
+\seclevelii{The command \texttt{\textbackslash nppatchchapter}}
+Page 68 (among others) would be empty here, if a book class is used. This is,
+because a new chapter normally starts on a right hand page and so a left hand page
+may be left empty. To put a notes page there, one could manually add a line like
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notespages[vacant,multiple=2,
+ notestext={An empty page before a new chapter.}]
+\end{verbatim}
+before every new chapter. But with \verb|\nppatchchapter| this can be automated.
+It changes \verb|\chapter| so it behaves like
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notespages[...]
+\chapter
+\end{verbatim}
+The optional argument for \verb|\notespages| is the argument passed to
+\verb|\nppatchchapter|. And the new \verb|\chapter| can just be used like the
+original one.
+
+In the preamble of this document the lines
+\begin{verbatim}
+\nppatchchapter{default,vacant,multiple=2,
+ notestext={An empty page before a new chapter.}}
+\end{verbatim}
+were added to make the empty pages before a new chapter into a notes pages. The
+option \textsf{default} asures, that no changes of the settings (this includes
+packages options and settings done with \verb|\setnotespages|) will change their
+apperance. And with \verb|multiple=2| there will be no more then one notes
+page before a new chapter instead of up to three with the default value of 4.
+
+\secleveli{Colors and Languages}
+\seclevelii{Colors}
+The \textsf{NotesPages} package uses three colors.
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \textsf{NotesHColor} for horizontal lines in the notes styles
+ \textsf{\textit{lines}} and \textsf{\textit{grid}},
+\item \textsf{NotesVColor} for vertical lines in the notes styles
+ \textsf{\textit{vlines}} and \textsf{\textit{grid}}, and
+\item \textsf{NotesTextColor} for the text in the notes style
+ \textsf{\textit{text}}.
+\end{itemize}
+Colors can be redefined, so it's possible to change them at any time. To make the
+changes local, they are put in a group here.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+{\definecolor{NotesHColor}{rgb}{0,0,1}
+ \definecolor{NotesVColor}{rgb}{0,1,0}
+ \definecolor{NotesTextColor}{rgb}{1,0,0}
+ \notesfill
+ \notespage[notestyle=text]}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+{\definecolor{NotesHColor}{rgb}{0,0,1}
+ \definecolor{NotesVColor}{rgb}{0,1,0}
+ \definecolor{NotesTextColor}{rgb}{1,0,0}
+ \notesfill
+ \notespage[notesstyle=text]}
+
+\seclevelii{Languages}
+So far, only English, French, and German are supported. Up unitl now English was
+used in this document. Here are examples for the other ones.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\selectlanguage{french}
+\notespage[notesstyle=text]
+\selectlanguage{ngerman}
+\notespage[notesstyle=text]
+\selectlanguage{english}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+New languages will be supported, as users provide the translations. But naturally,
+this will take some time. So if your language is not supported yet and you can't
+wait, you can add the following to the preamble of your document (of course with
+the correct translations):
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+\setnotespages{titletext={No Clue},
+ notestext={No clue what this is in your language.}}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This is sufficient for documents in one language. But caution, using the option
+\textsf{default} will reset these texts. That can be solved by redefining
+\verb|\npnotesname| and \verb|\npnotestext| instead. For multilingual documents
+you can add for example
+\begin{verbatim}
+\addto{\extrasitalian}{\def\npnotesname{No Clue}%
+ \def\npnotestext{No clue what this is in Italian.}}
+\end{verbatim}
+to the preamble (again, for your language and with the correct translations).
+After that you can use
+\begin{verbatim}
+\selectlanguage{italian}
+\notespage[notesstyle=text]
+\end{verbatim}
+to get a notes page in the new language.
+
+\selectlanguage{french}
+\notespage[notesstyle=text]
+\selectlanguage{ngerman}
+\notespage[notesstyle=text]
+\addto{\extrasitalian}{\def\npnotesname{No Clue}%
+ \def\npnotestext{No clue what this is in Italian.}}
+\selectlanguage{italian}
+\notespage[notesstyle=text]
+\selectlanguage{english}
+
+\secleveli{Other Stuff}
+\seclevelii{The Package \textsf{afterpage}}
+\textsf{NotesPages} can be used with the package \textsf{afterpage}. This makes
+it possible to put a notes page on the next page without leaving the page it was
+invoked half empty. So here the line
+\begin{verbatim}
+\afterpage{\notespage[titletext={Notes on \textsl{afterpage}},
+ marktext=Notes]}
+\end{verbatim}
+is inserted to get a notes page on the next page, without wasting the remaining
+space on this one (look into the source, here it comes):
+
+\afterpage{\notespage[titletext={Notes on \textsl{afterpage}},
+ marktext=Notes]}
+
+Ok, lets fill this page, so the effect of the example can be seen. You could also
+start a new section here.
+
+\fillit[1-4]
+
+\seclevelii{The End}
+Now this is the end of this example file. But I just can't resist to add one more
+example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+\notespages[multiple=100,minpages=100,endpages=1]
+\end{verbatim}
+See you on page 200.
+
+\notespages[multiple=100,minpages=100,endpages=1]
