Some~{\TeX} +primitives, like~\cs{hrule} or~\cs{hbox}, use such an interface style. +We call this style the~\emph{keyword} interface style. There is no +facility in~{\TeX} to define new macros using the~\emph{keyword} +interface style. The {\PACKAGE} package provides such a service. + +\section{Quick guide} + +In order to define a macro using the~\emph{keyword} interface style, +we have to setup first a~\emph{behaviour dictionary} +binding \emph{keywords} and \emph{behaviours}. A~keyword introduces an +optional argument and a behaviour describes its effect, we will soon +show an example of this. In the definition of the macro itself, we +first select the behaviour dictionary we want to use and +call~\cs{getoptk}, the control sequence responsible of the detection +of optional arguments. In this call, we need to provide +a~\emph{callback} as argument to~\cs{getoptk}, this callback is a macro +taking control of the execution after~\cs{getoptk} has completed its +task. It will be called with an argument, that is derived from the +list of optional arguments. + +For explanatory purposes, let us assume that we want to define a +macro \cs{begindisplay} using the \emph{keyword} interface style and +accepting the following optional arguments: +\begin{description} +\item [ragged] + Fill, but do not adjust the right margin (only left-justify). + +\item [literal] + Display block with literal font (usually fixed-width). Useful for + source code or simple tabbed or spaced text. + +\item [file \meta{file name}] + The file whose name, enclosed in curly braces, follows the + \emph{file} keyword is read and displayed using the selected + display type. + +\item [offset \meta{dimen}] + Use~\emph{dimen} as indentation for the display. + +\end{description} +We first create a fresh new behaviour dictionary: +\begin{verbatim} +\newgetoptkdictionary{display} +\end{verbatim} +and fill it with behaviours: +\begin{verbatim} +\defgetoptkflag{ragged}{\raggedright} +\defgetoptkflag{literal}{\let\displayfont\literalfont} +\defgetoptktoks{file}{\input #1} +\defgetoptkdimen{dimen}{\displayindent=#1\relax} +\end{verbatim} +Besides registering the behaviours in the dictionary~\emph{display}, +these commands also bind the behaviours to the following control +sequences: +\begin{verbatim} +\getoptk@behaviour@display@ragged +\getoptk@behaviour@display@literal +\getoptk@behaviour@display@file +\getoptk@behaviour@display@dimen +\end{verbatim} +The control sequences created with \cs{getoptkflag} must do not have an +argument, while those created by \cs{getoptktoks} or \cs{getoptkdimen} +do have one. The definition of~\cs{begindisplay} is +\begin{verbatim} +\def\begindisplay{% + \setgetoptkdictionary{display}% + \getoptk\display@M +} +\end{verbatim} +The control sequence~\cs{getoptk} is such that the input text +\begin{verbatim} +\begindisplay file {chapter1} literal offset 20pt +\end{verbatim} +is \emph{replaced} by +\begin{verbatim} +\display@M{% + \getoptk@behaviour@display@file{chapter1}% + \getoptk@behaviour@display@literal + \getoptk@behaviour@display@dimen{20pt}% +} +\end{verbatim} +so that \cs{display@M} can do its job and trigger the behaviours at +the appropriate time. + + +\section{Defining a behaviour dictionary} + +The command \cs{newgetoptkdictionary}\meta{dictionary} creates a +behaviour dictionary that will be filled by subsequent calls to +commands binding keywords and behaviours. The bindings commands are: +\begin{verbatim} +\defgetoptkflag +\defgetoptkcount +\defgetoptkdimen +\defgetoptkskip +\defgetoptktoks +\defgetoptkbracket +\end{verbatim} +They all must be called like in the previous examples, following the +pattern: +\par\medskip +\leftline{\meta{binding\_command}\meta{keyword}\meta{behaviour}} +\smallskip +\begin{description} +\newcommand\defgetoptkdescribe[1]{% +\item [defgetoptk#1] + The \meta{behaviour} is the replacement text of a macro having one + argument.
