+                     The NICETEXT bundle
+
+     (c) 2009 Uwe Lueck http://contact-ednotes.sty.de.vu
+
+                     == General Idea ==
+
+The NICETEXT bundle offers ``minimal'' markup syntax for rather 
+simple kinds of text. The code you type should show little more 
+characters than are printed, though you get LaTeX quality. We try 
+to do away with backslashes, technical terms, and curly braces 
+(which also are so clumsy to type on PC keyboards). 
+
+                       == Packages ==
+
+'wiki.sty' addresses general kinds of texts. 'niceverb.sty' is 
+made for documenting LaTeX packages. 'niceverb.sty' especially 
+offers [almost-]WYSIWIG for meta-variables (macro arguments) and 
+for referring to commands (and their syntax) in footnotes, 
+section titles etc. E.g., to get the syntax description
+
+                 \foo[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>}
+you just type 
+                 \foo[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>}
+!-)
+
+                      == Comparison ==
+
+One source of inspiration is the markup syntax that is used in 
+editing Wikipedia pages. The package 'wiki.sty' of the bundle 
+offers a very similar syntax as a LaTeX front-end. It suffices for 
+italics, boldface, sectioning, and certain list-like environments. 
+This is also similar to 'easylatex', 
+
+               http.//www.ctan.org/pkg/easylatex
+
+which is more powerful and uses Perl. 'wiki.sty', by contrast, is 
+just a LaTeX package, working on any TeX installation. 
+
+                     == Documentation ==
+
+'wikicheat.pdf' is a one-page manual of 'wiki.sty'. The file 
+'wiki.sty' contains additional documentation as ASCII text. 
+'niceverb.pdf' describes 'niceverb.sty'. Note that certain
+features must be activated by commands in the document environment.
+
+                    == What is missing ==
+
+1. 'niceverb' should extend 'wiki', yet their font switchings are 
+incompatible at present. 2. 'niceverb' should typeset the ASCII 
+documentation of 'wiki.sty' ... This upload is for reference and 
+for proving that I am not just dreaming. I think repairing needs 
+only few hours, yet I must do something different right now. See 
+more on what's missing in 'niceverb.pdf'.
+
+3. I have a package 'nicedots' for controlling horizontal spacing 
+with ellipses which may go here.

+\section{Presenting 'niceverb'}
+\subsection{Purpose}
+% \begin{abstract}\noindent
+% The 'nicetext' bundle provides ``minimal'' markup 
+The 'niceverb' package provides ``minimal'' markup for documenting \LaTeX\ 
+packages, reducing the number of keystrokes/visible characters needed
+% .\,.\,. %%% ... %% TODO nicedots 
+(kind of poor man's WYSIWYG).\footnote{``What you see is what you 
+get.'' Novices are always warned that WYSIWYG is essentially 
+impossible with \LaTeX.}
+% One feature---\verb'&\foo'%%% badly self-documenting, `&' fails
+It conveniently handles command names in arguments of macros 
+such as &\footnote or even of sectioning commands. 
+% (`.aux'/`.toc' entries).
+% 
+% This is done by making some characters active. 
+% 'niceverb.sty' thus resembles 'wiki.sty'; both are siblings. 
+% \end{abstract}
+Commands for typesetting a package's code are inserted 
+automatically (just using \TeX). %%%\footnote{Stephan I. B\"ottcher used 
+%%%'AWK' instead to typeset the documentation of his 'lineno.sty'.} 
+As opposed to tools that are rather common on UNIX/Linux, this 
+operation should work at any \TeX\ installation, irrespective of 
+platform.
+
+The package may at least be useful while working at a very new package 
+and may suffice with small, simple packages. After having edited your 
+package's code (typically in a `.sty' file), you just ``{`latex'}'' the 
+manual file (maybe some `.tex' file) and get instantly the corresponding 
+refreshed documentation.
+
+'niceverb' may also help to generate without much effort documentations 
+of nowadays commonly expected typographical quality for packages that 
+so far only had ASCII documentations.
+
+\subsection{Acknowledgement/Basic Ideas}
+Three ideas of Stephan I. B\"ottcher's in documenting his 'lineno.sty' 
+inspired the present work: 
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item 
+The markup and its definitions are short and simple, 
+markup commands are placed at the right ``margin'' 
+of the ASCII file, 
+so you hardly see them in reading the source file, 
+you rather just read the text that will be printed. 
+\item 
+An 'AWK' script removes the `%'s starting \emph{documentation} lines 
+and inserts the commands for typesetting the package's \emph{code} 
+(you don't see them in the source).
+\item 
+An active character (\lq`|'\rq) issues a `\string' \emph{and} switches 
+to typewriter typeface for typesetting a command verbatim---so this 
+works without changing category codes (which is the usual idea of 
+typesetting code), therefore it works even in macro arguments.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{The Commands and Features of 'niceverb'}
+
+Single quotes \verb|`|, \verb|'|, ``less than'' \verb|<| (accompanied 
+with \verb|>|), the hash mark \verb|#|, ampersand \verb|&|, and in an 
+extended ``auto mode'' even backslash \verb|\| become &\active 
+characters with ``special effects.''
+
+The package mainly aims at typesetting commands and descriptions of their 
+syntax \emph{if the latter is ``standard \LaTeX-like''}, 
+using ``meta-variables.'' A string to be 
+typeset ``verbatim'' thus is assumed to start with a single command like 
+&\foo, maybe followed by stars (\lq`*'\rq) and pairs of 
+square brackets (`['.\,.\,.`]') or 
+curly braces (\verb'{'.\,.\,.\verb'}'), 
+where those pairs contain strings indicating the typical 
+kinds of contents for the respective arguments of that command.
+A typical example is this: 
+$$&\foo*[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>}$$
+This was achieved by typing \verb'&\foo*[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>}'.
+In ``auto mode'' of the package, even typing 
+$$\verb|\foo*[<opt-arg>]{<mand-arg>}|$$
+  %% angle brackets feature to be suppressed here!
+would have sufficed---WYSIWYG! (I call such mixtures of 
+\emph{verbatim} and ``meta-variables'' \textit{\lq meta-code\rq}.)
+
+Now for the details:
+\begin{description}
+
+\item[``Meta-variables:''] {\sloppy The package supports the ``angle 
+brackets'' style of ``meta-variables'' (as with <meta-variable>). 
+You just type \lq\verb'<foo>'\rq\ to get \lq<foo>\rq.\par}
+
+This works due to a sloppy variant &\SimpleVerb of &\verb 
+which doesn't care about possible ligatures and definitions of active 
+characters. Instead, it assumes that the ``verbatim'' font doesn't 
+contain ligatures anyway. \lq\verb'\verb|<foo>|'\rq, by contrast, just 
+yields \lq\verb'<foo>'\rq.
+
+Almost the same feature is offered by 'ltxguide.cls' which formats the 
+basic guides from the \LaTeX\ Project Team. The present feature, 
+however, also works in plain text outside verbatim mode. 
+% On the other hand: without << feature
+
+\item[Single quotes (left/right) for ``short verb:'']
+{\sloppy The package ``assumes'' that \emph{quoting} refers to 
+\emph{code}, therefore \lq\verb|`foo'|\rq\ is typeset as 
+\lq`foo'\rq. This somewhat resembles the &\MakeShortVerb feature of 
+'doc.sty'.\par}
+
+It will typically fail when you try to typeset commands (and their 
+syntax) in \emph{macro arguments}---e.g., 
+$$\verb|\footnote{`\bar' is a celebrated fake example!}|$$
+will try to \emph{execute} &\bar instead of typesetting it, giving 
+an ``undefined'' error so.
+\verb|\verb| fails in the same situation, for the same reason. 
+\lq\verb|&|\rq\ (&\footnote{&&&\bar<remaining>}) or 
+``auto mode'' (see below) may then work better.
+
+Double quotes and apostrophes should still work the usual way; 
+otherwise you could control the parsing mechanisms using curly braces 
+(outside and inside don't interact).
+To get usual single quotes, you can use their standard substitutes 
+`\lq' and `\rq'. 
+You can ``abuse'' this ``single quotes'' feature just to get typewriter 
+typeface.\footnote{In macro arguments this requires that the right 
+single quote &' is &\active.}
+For difficult cases, you can still use the standard `\verb' 
+command from \LaTeX.
+
+\item[Single right quotes for &\textsf:]
+{\sloppy Package names are (by some unwritten convention!?) 
+typeset with `\textsf'; 
+it was natural to use a remaining case of using single quotes 
+for replacing &\textsf{<text>} by \SimpleVerb|'<text>'|.\footnote{%
+Font switching by sequences of single quotes is a feature of the 
+syntax for editing Wikipedia pages and of 'wiki.sty'.}\par}
+%% TODO fails in parentheses due to preserving apostrophes
+
+This idea of switching fonts continues font switching of 'wiki.sty'
+which uses the syntax for editing Wikipedia pages. 
+
+\item[Ampersand \lq&&\rq\ typesets command syntax even in arguments:] 
+\hfil e.g., type \lq\verb|&\foo{<arg>}|\rq\ to get 
+\lq`\foo{<arg>}'\rq. This may be even more convenient for typing than 
+the single quotes method, although looking somewhat strange.
+However, `&' may terminate \textit{verbatim} unexpectedly, being 
+designed for displaying ``\LaTeX-like command syntax'' in the first
+instance.\footnote{Moreover, && currently has a limited 'xspace' 
+functionality only.}\footnote{You can even use && for referring to 
+active characters like && in footnotes etc.!}
+
+\begin{sloppypar}
+This choice of `&' rests on the assumption that there won't be many 
+tables in the documenation. You can restore the usual meaning of `&' 
+by \verb|\MakeAlign\&| and turn the present special meaning on again by 
+$$\verb|\MakeActiveLet\&\CmdSyntaxVerb|.$$ 
+You could also 
+redefine (&\renewcommand) &\descriptionlabel using `\CmdSyntaxVerb' 
+(the ``normal command'' equivalent to `&') so \verb|\item[\foo]| works 
+as wanted.
+\end{sloppypar}
+
+\item[``Auto mode'' typesets commands verbatim unless .\,.\,.]
+{\sloppy 
+\hfil In~``auto mode'', the backslash \lq`\'\rq\ is an active character that 
+builds a command name from the ensuing letters and typesets the 
+command (and its syntax, allowing meta-variables) verbatim. 
+However, there are some exceptions, which are collected in a macro 
+&\niceverbNoVerbList. &\begin, &\end, and &\item belong to this list, 
+you can redefine (`\renewcommand') it.
+There is also a command &\NormalCommand{<letters>} \emph{issuing} the 
+command `\<letters>' instead of typesetting it.
+Since auto mode is somewhat dangerous, you have to start it explicitly 
+by &\AutoCmdSyntaxVerb. You can end it by &\EndAutoCmdSyntaxVerb.\par}
+
+Auto mode is motivated by the observation that there are package files 
+containing their documentation as pure (well-readable) ASCII 
+text---containing the names of the new commands without any kind of 
+quotation marks or verbatim commands. 
+Auto mode should typeset such documentation just from the same ASCII 
+text.
+
+\item[Hash mark &# comes verbatim.]
+No macro definitions are expected in the `document' 
+environment.\footnote{This idea recently appeared on the 'latex-l' 
+mailing list. It may be wrong, not sure at the moment, think of 
+'latexa.ltx' .\,.\,.} 
+Rather, \lq`#'\rq\ is an active character for taking the next 
+character (assuming it is a digit) to form a reference to a 
+\emph{macro parameter}---\lq`#1'\rq\ becomes \lq#1\rq\ (WYSIWYG 
+indeed!).

+\subsection{What is Wrong with the Present Version}
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item 
+'niceverb.sty' should be an extension of 'wiki.sty'; 
+yet their font selection mechanisms are currently not compatible. 
+\item 
+Font switching or horizontal spacing may fail in certain situations with 
+parentheses. (You can correct spacing by \lq`\ '\rq.)
+\item 
+The feature of mixing high-quality-typeset comments into the 
+package code listing is implemented in a very rudimentary way only. 
+% just allowing for `\subsection's. 
+The ``comment detector'' detects Wikipedia-style subsection titles 
+instead of lines beginning with percent characters.\footnote{%
+Percent characters will definitely not be ``ignored'' as with &\DocInput, 
+rather they will hide rests of \emph{documentation} lines as usually, 
+while they will be typeset verbatim in \emph{package code} lines.} 
+% Switching between plain and verbatim typesetting in the package 
+% listings isn't settled yet, since there are different styles of using 
+% percent symbols. I have sometimes used double percent symbols 
+% (\lq\verb|%%|\rq) 
+% for commenting text and single ones just for ``reversible deletion of 
+% code,'' while usually single percent symbols indicate commenting text 
+% indeed. Double percent symbols may, by contrast, mean that the text remains 
+% visible in the `.sty' file only, suppressed in the typeset 
+% documentation ('lineno.sty').
+% For a while, it may be necessary to provide replacing macros for each 
+% package separately instead of providing a single macro package 
+% managing all of them. 
+\item 
+The code listing currently uses the `listing' and `listingcont' 
+environments of 'moreverb.sty'; 
+the code font and the line numbers may be too large. 
+\item 
+The ``vertical'' character \lq`|'\rq\ should be active and provide a 
+version of the `decl' environment of 'ltxguide.cls'.

+\ProvidesPackage{wiki}[2008/07/02 v0.2 LaTeX through Wiki markup]
+%% <- vorige Aenderungen gg. 2008/06/25 verworfen 
+%%
+%% == Legal    == 
+%% (C) 2008 Uwe Lueck http://contact-ednotes.sty.de.vu
+%% License: http://www.latex-project.org/lppl/
+%% -- AUTHOR-MAINTAINED, NO WARRANTY!
+%%
+%% == Features == 
+%% 
+%% The `wiki' package enables LaTeX users to use some of the 
+%% markup used in editing Wikipedia pages, cf. 
+%%
+%%     http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cheatsheet
+%%
+%% or German:
+%%
+%%     http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:Bearbeitungshilfe
+%%     http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:Textgestaltung
+%% 
+%% Advantages of such a kind of markup are: 
+%%
+%%  1. easier and faster to type than LaTeX code; 
+%% 
+%%  2. intuitive, understandable at a glance; 
+%% 
+%%  3. in reading the source code of the document, 
+%%     the markup doesn't much distract from the ''text'' 
+%%     to be printed. 
+%%
+%% There is a binary `easylatex' available on CTAN which is more 
+%% powerful than the `wiki' package; the idea here is that a ''macro 
+%% package'' doing something similar is easier to use and to customize. 
+%%
+%%
+%% === What the Package Supports ===
+%%
+%% 1. ''Italics'' are marked up by surrounding pairs of apostrophes, 
+%%    '''boldface''' needs one apostrophe more on each side. 
+%%    Boldface and italics may be nested or overlap. 
+%%    (This endangers quoting, but I have dealt with it.)
+%%
+%% 2. Surrounding ``equals'' symbols (`=') mark up section headings 
+%%    etc.: `== Section ==', `=== Subsection ===', down to 
+%%    `===== Subparagraph ====='. 
+%%
+%% 3. If a line starts with `*', it becomes an item in an 
+%%    `itemize' environment. Likewise, `#' creates an `enumerate' 
+%%    environment, and `;' makes an item in a `discription' 
+%%    environment (differs from Wiki! -- since I don't understand
+%%    what the Wiki version is good for). `:' makes a `quote' --
+%%    while on Wikipedia instead is used for comments on talk 
+%%    pages. But it is also used for indented math displays, 
+%%    so it may be combined with $...$ here. 
+%%    An indented line is typeset ''verbatim''. Each of these
+%%    environments is ended by a code line without leading blank 
+%%    spaces. 
+%% 
+%%
+%% === Limitations ===
+%%
+%% 1. The markup ``language'' provided here replaces a few most 
+%%    common LaTeX commands only in their most simple versions. 
+%%    (Yet I think that already this makes the code more readable; 
+%%     the more special cases are very rare.) E.g., it's not 
+%%    possible to suppress the italic correction as with 
+%%    `\textit{...\nocorr}'. However, in ``normal'' cases it 
+%%    should be possible to use the more powerful LaTeX markup 
+%%    mixed with ``Wiki'' markup. 
+%%
+%% 2. The parsing algorithms employed here differ in outcome to 
+%%    those of Wikipedia in difficult cases. 
+%% 
+%% 3. Tables, nesting lists, links, Wiki templates and tags 
+%%    are not supported -- and I don't expect that I can afford 
+%%    improving this soon! 
+%%
+%% 4. I still have encountered problems that I didn't understand ...
+%%
+%% == Package Options and User Commands  ==
+%%
+%% \usepackage[<options>]{wiki}, of course. There are <options> 
+%% `noEnvironments', `noFonts', `noHeadings' giving up 
+%% functionality for lists etc., for italics and boldface, 
+%% for section headings etc., respectively. 
+%% 
+%% There are commands \wikimarkup, \wikiEnvironments, 
+%% \wikiFonts, \wikiHeadings to turn respective functionality on 
+%% (unless disabled by package option). \nowikimarkup, 
+%% \nowikiEnvironments, \nowikiFonts, \nowikiHeadings turn them 
+%% off. 
+%%
+%% '''Vital:''' The package does ''not'' execute \wikimarkup 
+%% because this would have strange effects, e.g., packages 
+%% loaded later may break. The user must put activating 
+%% commands into the `document' environment, maybe just preceding 
+%% the first heading. 
+%% 
+%% Dangers to be avoided by \nowiki... are: 
+%% * \wikiHeadings (which also is executed by \wikimarkup) 
+%%   disables TeX assignments using `='. 
+%% * \wikiEnvironments (executed by \wikimarkup) executes macros 
+%%   at every end of a code line (containing no comment marke), 
+%%   and it tries to typeset a following line verbatim if it is 
+%%   indented. 
+%%
