\noindent \textbf{Preprocessing before} &\begin{document}: 
|\MakeJobDoc| (same parameters)

  \vskip10pt \raggedright
\noindent \textbf{More fine-grained:}\\
\textbf{a.~Choices for next preprocessing run:}
\begin{description}
\cmdboxitem|\ResultFile{<output>}| opens <output>
% \cmdboxitem|\LaTeXresultFile{<output>}| see below
\cmdboxitem|\Headerlines{<header-lines>}| 
    `\MakeJobDoc''s first mandatory argument 
\cmdboxitem|\MainDocParser{<main-parser>}| 
    `\MakeJobDoc''s second mandatory \rlap{argument}
\cmdboxitem|\ProcessLineMessage{<message>}| 
    \defto{<message>}{&\message{.}}
\cmdboxitem|\input{mdoccorr.cfg}| chooses `\MakeDocCorrectHook'
\end{description}
\textbf{b.~Manual insertions to <output>:}
\begin{description}
\cmdboxitem|\WriteResult{<balanced>}| writes <balanced> to <output> 
\cmdboxitem|\WriteProvides| writes `\ProvidesFile' line from 'fifindo'.
\cmdboxitem|\LaTeXresultFile{<output>}| issues
    `\ResultFile{<output>}', writes `\ProvidesFile' line from 'makedoc'.
\end{description}
\textbf{c.~Processing <input>, closing <output>:}
\begin{description}
\cmdboxitem|\ProcessFileWith{<input>}{<loop-body>}| 
    reads each <input> line to macro |\fdInputLine|, 
    applies <loop-body>
\cmdboxitem|\MakeDoc{<input>}|
    copies <header-lines> from <input> to <output>, 
    applies <main-parser>
\cmdboxitem|\CloseResultFile| closes <output>
\cmdboxitem|\MakeCloseDoc{<input>}| issues 
    `\MakeDoc{<input>}\CloseResultFile'.
