+\begin{abstract}
+The \LaTeX{} style option verbatim.sty, by Rainer Sch\"opf, allows one to
+redefine an environment to be a comment, and thereby selectively omit
+certain environments when typesetting a document.
+Suppose instead that one wants to typeset only selected environments? For
+example, one might want to print only a document's tables and figures,
+without having to enclose all the text outside these environments within
+comments. This style option allows such selection.
+\end{abstract}
+
+\section{Usage notes}
+
+This style file defines a new environment, |xcomment|, which permits one to
+typeset only selected environments, without having to enclose all the text
+outside these environments within comments. The main interest in such a
+feature is that it allows document styles to have great control over what
+parts of a document are typeset, thus extending the modularity of \LaTeX.
+For example, this option was originally written for use in a document style
+for seminar notes and slides. The main text of the input file consists of
+the notes for a seminar, and each slide goes in a |slide| environment. A
+simple modification of the style options allows one to typeset only the
+slides, only the notes, or both together, in a variety of styles.
+
+
+The |xcomment| environment has as a single mandatory argument a list
+(possibly empty) of environments, separated by commas and with no spaces.
+Within the |xcomment| environment, only text within each of the specified
+environments is typeset.
+The |\xcomment| command can also be used directly, with the same argument,
+and it would typically go in the preamble. Invoking the |\xcomment| command
+is equivalent to putting |\begin{xcomment}| at the invocation of the command
+or immediately after |\begin{document}|, whichever occurs later in the
+document, and |\end{xcomment}| just before the end of the document.
+
+For example, if |\xcomment{table,figure}| is put in the preamble, only
+tables and figures are typeset (but see |\nofloat| below). If the list of
+environments is empty, as in |\begin{xcomment}{}|, the |xcomment|
+environment is essentially like the |comment| environment in verbatim.sty.
+
+|xcomment| environments can be nested, but if the nested environments
+have the same name, the inner environments must be inside text that is
+typeset as specified by the |xcomment| environment the next level up.
+
+Here is an example of such nesting. Suppose we want to include only figures,
+but we also want to be able to comment out some of the figures so that they
+are not included. This is achieved in the following example:
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\newxcomment[]{mycomment}
+\begin{xcomment}{figure,mycomment}
+  This is stuff that is not included.
+  \begin{figure}
+    This figure is included.
+  \end{figure}
+  More stuff that is not included.
+  \begin{mycomment}               Out and back into comment mode
+    \begin{figure}                Ignored by mycomment envir.
+      This figure is NOT included.
+    \end{figure}                  Also ignored by mycomment envir.
+  \end{mycomment}                 In and back out of comment mode.
+  More stuff that is not included.
+\end{xcomment}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+|xcomment| will follow |\input| and |\include| commands. You must use the
+\LaTeX{} syntax |\input{file}| (as opposed to \verb*+\input file +), and the
+inputted file must end with |\endinput|.
+You should be in |xcomment| mode when the |\endinput| command occurs
+if and only if you were in |\xcomment| mode when the |\input| or |\include|
+command was found.
+
+  |xcomment| is searching literally for |\begin{foo}| and |\end{foo}| when
+determining whether to switch in or out of comment mode. It will not find,
+e.g., |!begin[foo]|, even if |!|, |[| or |]| have category codes 0, 1 and 2,
+respectively. (If you don't understand this, you can safely ignore it.)
+
+The comment character, |%|, is still a comment character in |xcomment|
+environments (even if used with |\%|). You can change the command character by
+redefining |\xcommentchar|. For example, if I want to use |"| as a comment
+character:
+\begin{Verbatim}
+    \renewcommand{\xcommentchar}{\"}
+\end{Verbatim}
+If you define |\xcommentchar| to be empty, then no comment character is used.
+
+In the |xcomment| environment, text is processed a line at a time and
+discarded until |\end{xcomment}| or |\begin{|\meta{environment}|}| is
+encountered, where {\em environment} is to be included. The remaining text
+on the line is not thrown away, as it is in verbatim.sty. Instead, it is
+rescanned, and the only restrictions are that it have balanced braces and
+that it not contain commands that again shift into {\em and} out of
+``comment'' mode.
+
+This is an important feature, because the included environments may have
+arguments that are best placed on the same line as the
+|\begin{|\meta{environment}|}| command. However, the rescanning creates a
+temporary file. By default, the file is |\jobname.tmp|. The command
+|\rescanfile{|\meta{file}|}| causes \meta{file} to be created instead.
+|\rescanfile{}| suppresses the creation of a temporary file; the leftover
+text is simply discarded. |\norescanfile| also suppresses the creation
+of a temporary file, but in this case the text is simply inserted
+without being rescanned (i.e., with category codes 0 (escape
+|\|), 1 (begin group |{|), 2 (end group |}|) and 6 (parameter |#|) switched
+to 12 (other).
+
+The command |\envirsep| is executed between the environments that are
+typeset. Its default definition is |\par|.
+
+The command
+\begin{Verbatim}
+    \newxcomment[|\meta{environment list}|]{|\meta{name}|}
+\end{Verbatim}
+defines |\name| and the |name| environment to work like |\xcomment| and the
+|xcomment| environment. A list of environments to be included can be given
+as an optional first argument to |\newxcomment|, in which case the new
+command and environment do not take an argument. For example, if you put
+|\newxcomment[]{mycomment}| in the preamble, the |mycomment| environment
+works like the |comment| environment in verbatim.sty, except for the
+rescanning.
+
+The command |\nofloat{|\meta{environment list}|}| is provided to disable the
+floating of environments in the list (also separated by commas and without
+spaces), since if there are only floats and no text, the floats will
+accumulate to the end of the document and \TeX{} may run out of memory.
+
+\paragraph{Caveats:}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item If |\xcomment| is invoked in the preamble, |\document| should not be
+subsequently redefined.
+\item Be careful what argument you give to |\rescanfile|, since any existing
+file with that name will be destroyed, and the extension |tex| is added if
+no extension is given.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\paragraph{Changes to v1.2:}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item |\include| now allowed.
+\item Comment characters not obeyed, as determined by |\xcommentchar|.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\paragraph{Changes to v1.1:}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Fixed bug in |\@xcomment| that caused problems when invoking |\xcomment|
+in the preamble.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\paragraph{Changes to v1.0:}
+\begin{itemize}
+\item Main loop rewritten.
+\item |\rescanfile{trash}| changed to |\rescanfile{}|.
+\item |\rescanfile{bounce}| no longer supported. Use |\norescanfile|.
+\item |\input| now allowed.
+\end{itemize}
+
+
+
+
+\section{The implementation}
+The code is an adaption of code in verbatim.sty, and in fact the latter's
+structure has been preserved when possible. On the one hand, the code is
+simpler than in verbatim.sty because we throw away text from the input file
+rather than typeset it verbatim. On the other hand, it is more involved
+because we have to check for more possible endings to the |xcomment| than in
+verbatim.sty and we have to preserve the input that follows the |\begin|ning
+of an included environment on the same line.
+
+As in verbatim.sty and the |\comment\endcomment| commands in \AmSTeX, the
+basic strategy is to change the category codes so that control sequences and
+other troublesome special characters are neutralized, and then to scan for
+the strings that mark the end of the comment. This would be a 3-liner in
+|awk|, but this is \TeX, and the amount of code required to do the scanning
+increases rapidly as we allow for a greater variety of ending strings.
+
+We begin by ensuring that file is not read in twice, and then we identify
+the file on the VDU and the transcript file.

+\subsection{User commands}
+
+The main toplevel macro is |\@xcomment|, which is defined in the next
+section. It works like |\xcomment| as described above, except that it has as
+a first argument an {\em environment} so that it stops when it encounters
+|\end{|{\em environment}|}|. |\newxcomment| then has a simple definition,
+and |\xcomment| is defined using the |\newxcomment| command.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\def\newxcomment{\@ifnextchar [{\@newxcommentwitharg}%
+  {\@newxcomment}}
+\def\@newxcomment#1{%
+  \expandafter\def\csname #1\endcsname##1{\@xcomment{#1}{##1}}}%
+\def\@newxcommentwitharg[#1]#2{%
+  \expandafter\def\csname #2\endcsname{\@xcomment{#2}{#1}}}
+\newxcomment{xcomment}
+\end{Verbatim}
+%
+|\envirsep| is inserted between the environments that are typeset, and is
+set to |\par| by default. |\rescanfile| is the name of the temporary file
+used for rescanning, and is set to |\jobname.tmp| by default.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\def\envirsep{\par}
+\def\rescanfile#1{\def\@rescanfile{#1}}
+\rescanfile{\jobname.tmp}
+\def\norescanfile{\let\@rescanfile\relax}
+\end{Verbatim}
+%
+|\nofloat| disables floating, and |\vfill| is inserted forcefully on each
+side of each float. The macro is just a hack, and is mainly for printing
+only floats. It may not work well even for that. |\envirsep| is still
+inserted between floats, and if it is set to |\vspace{}|, the added space is
+inserted only between floats on the same page, given the user some control
+over spacing.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\def\@nofloat#1{\hrule height\z@\nobreak\vfill\vbox\bgroup\def\@captype{#1}}
+\def\end@nofloat{\egroup\nobreak\vfill\nobreak\hrule height\z@\medbreak}
+\def\nofloat#1{\@for\@tempa:=#1\do{\@namedef{#1}{\@nofloat{#1}}%
+  \@namedef{end#1}{\end@nofloat}}}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+
+\subsection{Preliminaries}
+%
+|\xc@makeother| takes as argument a character and changes
+its category code to $12$ (other) if its category code is originally 0, 1, 2
+or 6. We do not have to change as many catcodes as in Verbatim.sty, because
+the input is either thrown away or rescanned. The fewer codes we change the
+better.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\def\xc@makeother#1{%
+  \ifnum\the\catcode`#1=0\catcode`#112%
+  \else \ifnum\the\catcode`#1=1\catcode`#112%
+    \else \ifnum\the\catcode`#1=2\catcode`#112%
+      \else \ifnum\the\catcode`#1=6\catcode`#112%
+  \fi\fi\fi\fi\relax}
+   \end{Verbatim}
+
+This macro changes the category codes of a token list that is already in
+\TeX's stomach. The code is a modification of a |\retokenize| macro by
+Raymond Chen.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\newwrite\tokout
+\newread\tokin
+\end{Verbatim}
+The argument of |\rescan| is a token list register, say, |\mytoks|.
+|\mytoks| presumably contains a string from the input file, sent to |\TeX|'s
+stomach as a stream of tokens. |\rescan| gives |\mytoks| the token list that
+would have arisen if |\TeX| had had the current catcodes in effect when it
+read the input string, with the following exceptions:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item The token list must have balanced braces under the new catcodes.
+\item Parameter tokens in the original list are written twice, and so mess
+things up.
+\item Some characters with catcode 10 (space) under the old catcodes are
+lost, and all that remain are treated as character 32 (\verb*+ +) under the
+new catcodes, whatever this character's new catcode is.
+\item Escape characters under the old catcodes are treated as escape
+characters even if their catcodes have changed. (This can be fixed by
+setting |\escapchar| during the write to the escape character under the old
+catcodes, assuming there was only one and it is known)
+\item Leading spaces under the new catcodes are not ignored, which is wrong
+if and only if the string started at the beginning of a line and the space
+characters were not spaces under the old catcodes.
+\end{itemize}
+
+Only the balanced braces exception is a problem in this application, but the
+other exceptions are pointed out since such a rescanning macro has other
+applications.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\def\rescan#1{%
+\end{Verbatim}
+First we check if |\rescanfile|, which contains the name of the temporary
+file to be used, has a special meaning. If |\relax|, do nothing. If empty,
+empty the token register.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+  \ifx\@rescanfile\relax\else
+    \ifx\@rescanfile\@empty #1{}\else
+\end{Verbatim}
+Put the list of tokens in braces and write them to the temporary file.%
+\begin{Verbatim}
+      \immediate\openout\tokout=\@rescanfile
+      \immediate\write\tokout{{\the#1}\relax}%
+      \immediate\closeout\tokout
+\end{Verbatim}
+Read the contents of the file |\@tempd|.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+      \openin\tokin=\@rescanfile
+      \read\tokin to\@tempd
+      \closein\tokin
+\end{Verbatim}
+Suppose |#1| is |\mytok|, and \meta{token list} is the list of tokens with
+the current catcodes. Then the next line expands to |\mytok{|\meta{token
+list}|}\relax|.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+      \expandafter#1\@tempd%
+  \fi\fi}
+\end{Verbatim}
+%

+\subsection{Toplevel macros}
+%
+|\@xcomment| checks whether it was invoked before |\begin{document}| and
+outside of an environment. If so, it modifies |\begin{document}| to invoke
+|\@xcomment| with the same arguments. Otherwise, it processes its arguments
+and goes into ``comment'' mode by invoking |\xc@begin|.
+
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\def\@xcomment#1#2{%
+  \ifx\@preamblecmds\@notprerr
+    \def\xc@csname{#1}%
+    \edef\xc@envirlist{#2}%
+    \ifx\xc@envirlist\@empty \@bsphack \else
+      \begingroup
+\end{Verbatim}
+|\@envirsep| is what is actually placed before each environment. Initially,
+it is empty because nothing should precede the first environment that is
+typeset.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+      \def\@envirsep{}%
+\end{Verbatim}
+|\do@end| is appended to the meaning of |\end|, and it is initially set to
+|\xc@begin|. This means that the |\end| of an included environment switches
+us back into ``comment'' mode, as desired. The |\end| of nested environments
+should have their usual meaning, however. Therefore, |\do@begin| is
+prepended to the definition of |\begin|, and it sets |\do@end| to |\relax|.
+Included environment are begun with |\normal@begin| because we only want to
+reset |\do@end| for nested environements. The group begun above keeps the
+|\end| of the |xcomment| environment from be being affected by these
+changes.
+
+\begin{Verbatim}
+      \@ifundefined{normal@begin}{\let\normal@begin\begin}{}%
+      \@ifundefined{normal@end}{\let\normal@end\end}{}%
+      \def\begin##1{\do@begin{##1}\normal@begin{##1}}%
+      \def\end##1{\normal@end{##1}\do@end}%
+      \def\do@begin##1{\@ifundefined{##1}{}{\def\do@end{}}}%
+      \let\do@end\xc@begin

+    \let\next\relax
+  \fi
+  \next}
+\def\end@xcomment{\ifx\xc@envirlist\@empty \@esphack \else \endgroup \fi}%
+\end{Verbatim}
+%
+|\xc@begin| starts up ``comment'' mode by changing the category codes and
+invoking |\xcomment@|. The |\begingroup| keeps these catcode changes local.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\def\xc@begin{%
+  \begingroup
+    \let\do\xc@makeother

+    \xcomment@}
+\def\xcommentchar{\%}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+
+\end{document}
+
+\subsection{The main loop}
+
+Since the code in the main loop uses literal |\|, |{|, |}|, |%| and newline
+characters, we represent them with |!|, |[|, |]| |"| and |~| by setting the
+corresponding lccodes to the correponding character but with catcode 12, and
+then changing the code to lowercase before executing the macro definitions.
+These catcode changes are kept local, and the macros must therefore be
+defined globally.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+\begingroup
+\catcode`\!=12
+\catcode`\[=12
+\catcode`\]=12
+\catcode`\"=12
+\lccode`\!=`\\
+\lccode`\[=`\{
+\lccode`\]=`\}
+\lccode`\"=`\%
+\catcode`\~=\active
+\lccode`\~=`\^^M
+\lowercase{
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+The three macros |\xcomment@|, |\xcomment@@|, and |\xcomment@@@| form the
+main loop when in ``comment'' mode. |\xcomment@| reads a line of input.
+|\xcomment@@| searches for the first occurence of a backslash.
+|\xcomment@@@| checks what the next character is, and depending an the
+answer various macros are invoked to see if one of the termination strings
+has been found.
+%
+|\xcomment@| takes the line it has read, puts |\@nnil| |\| and |\@nil| as
+delimiters at the end, and then calls |\xcomment@@|.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+  \gdef\xcomment@#1~{\xcomment@@#1\@nnil!\@nil}
+\end{Verbatim}
+%
+|\xcomment@@| takes everything up to the next occurrence of |\| as its
+argument and throws it away together with the |\|. Then |\xcomment@@@| reads
+the next token on the line, including the delimiters added by |\xcomment@|.
+\begin{Verbatim}
+  \gdef\xcomment@@#1!{\xcomment@@@}
+\end{Verbatim}
+
+|\xcomment@@@| checks for key strings.
+\begin{Verbatim}
