+\maketitle
+
+Provides an if--then--else command for an empty macro argument
+(empty = zero or more spaces only)
+Use as \cmd{\@ifmtarg}\marg{arg1}\marg{Code for arg1 empty}\marg{Code for arg1 not empty}
+
+The \cmd{\@ifmtarg} command takes 3~arguments and \cmd{\@ifnotmtarg} takes 2~arguments.
+\cmd{\@ifnotmtarg} is slightly more efficient when code is only required
+for a non-empty argument.
+
+Example usages:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newcommand{\isempty}{1]{%
+  \@ifmtarg{#1}{\typeout{YES}}{\typeout{NO}}}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+\begin{tabular}{@{}>{\color{SeaGreen}}l@{$\quad\to\quad$}>{\ttfamily}l@{}}
+  \verb+\isempty{}+    & YES \\
+  \verb+\isempty{   }+ & YES \\
+  \verb+\isempty{E}+   & NO  \\
+  \verb+\isempty{ E }+ & NO
+\end{tabular}
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newcommand{\isnotempty}[1]{%
+   \@ifnotmtarg{#1}{\typeout{YES}}}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+\begin{tabular}{@{}>{\color{SeaGreen}}l@{$\quad\to\quad$}>{\ttfamily}l@{}}
+  \verb+\isnotempty{}+    &     \\
+  \verb+\isnotempty{   }+ &     \\
+  \verb+\isnotempty{E}+   & YES \\
+  \verb+\isnotempty{ E }+ & YES
+\end{tabular}
+
+In an Email to me on 13 March 2000, Donald Arseneau pointed out some
+failings with my original definition of the \cmd{\@ifmtarg} command:
+%
+\begin{verbatim}
+\newcommand{\@ifmtarg}[3]{%
+  \edef\@mtarg{\zap@space#1 \@empty}%  
+  \ifx\@empty\@mtarg\relax #2\else #3\fi}
+\end{verbatim}
+%
+It works most of the time correctly but Donald showed that it can 
+give unexpected results 
+under conditions that I had not thought of. He suggested the coding 
+that now appears in the package above for the \cmd{\@ifmtarg} and 
+\cmd{\@ifnotmtarg} commands. For a discussion on detecting empty arguments 
+see \href{http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/info/aro-bend/answer.002}{\texttt{CTAN/info/aro-bend/answer.002}}
