+\section{How to use}
+
+One way to use this package is to declare (for example)
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[opta]{optional}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+at the beginning of your document, and flag optional text throughout
+your document like:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\opt{opta}{Do this if option opta was declared}
+\opt{optb}{Do this if option optb was declared}
+\opt{optx,opty}{Do this if either option optx or opty}
+\opt{}{Never print this text!}
+\opt{opta}{\input{appendices}}
+\optv{xam}{Type: \verb|[root /]$ rm -r *|.}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+Note that both the package option and the ``\cmd{\opt}'' argument can contain
+lists of options although, in practice, one or the other should be a
+single option name. Lists are allowed in both places to allow more
+flexibility in the style of use. (But making the definitions much more
+difficult, Grrr.)
+
+Just as for ``\cmd{\includeonly}'', you will have to edit the main document
+file to switch option codes (i.\,e.,\ change the ``\cmd{\usepackage}'' line).
+There are, however, several ways to use this package without altering
+the main document file: separate files, file-name sensing, interactive
+prompting, and command-line option selection.
+
+Typically, different versions of a document will require different
+document class and package setup, besides the different tags for
+\pkg{optional.sty}. In that case it is best to have a separate main file
+for each version of the document. Each stub file will declare the
+document class and load some packages (including this one) and then
+input the rest of the document from a file common to all versions.
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\documentclass[A0]{poster}
+\usepackage[poster]{optional}
+\input{my_paper}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+If the different opt-tags match the different stub file names (file
+\texttt{poster.tex} will typeset the ``\opt{poster}'' version) then you can specify
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage[\jobname]{optional}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+Alternatively, this ``\cmd{\jobname}'' technique can make use of symbolic links,
+if your computer system supports them, by having a single main input
+file accessed under different names (and different ``\cmd{\jobname}''s).
+
+Another scheme is to invoke \LaTeX\ with the command line such as:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+latex "\def\UseOption{opta,optb}\input{file}"
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+(with quoting appropriate to your operating system) then options ``\opt{opta}''
+and ``\opt{optb}'' will be used in addition to any options specified with the
+``\cmd{\usepackage}'' command.
+
+You can prompt yourself to specify the option(s) with every run
+through \LaTeX:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\usepackage{optional}
+\newcommand{\ExplainOptions}{man = users manual, check = checklist,
+ ref = reference card, post = poster.}
+\AskOption
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+The definition of ``\cmd{\ExplainOptions}'' is optional; it only serves to help
+the person who answers the question. The ``\cmd{\AskOption}'' is also optional;
+it will be executed automatically whenever optional.sty sees no list of
+options. This method is too tedious to use much.
+
+The normal restrictions forbidding special characters in package options
+and reference tags apply also the the tags used by the ``\cmd{\opt}'' command.
+
+These are not `comment' macros: The optional text must be well-formed
+with balanced braces, even if not printed. The ``\cmd{\opt}'' command \emph{is}
+completely `expandable' which means it is robust and can even be used
+in messages (``\cmd{\typeout}'').
+
+As usual, ``\cmd{\verb}'' commands and verbatim environments cannot be used
+in the argument to ``\cmd{\opt}''. For this purpose there is a variant form
+of ``\cmd{\opt}'' called ``\cmd{\optv}'' (optional verbatim) which may have a limited
+class of verbatim material in the argument. It can do so by leaving
+the braces around the argument, which may have undesired side effects.
+For an ``\cmd{\optv}'' argument to be successfully ignored, the verbatim material
+must have balanced braces etc.
+
+The ``\cmd{\opt}'' command is only intended for small sections of text. If you
+need to optionally include whole sections or chapters, put that material
+in a separate file, and ``\cmd{\opt}''-ionally use an ``\cmd{\input}'' command:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\opt{internal}{\input{prog_listings}}
+\end{verbatim}
+
