---------------------------------------------------------------- achemso --- LaTeX package options with pgfkeys E-mail: joseph.wright@morningstar2.co.uk Released under the LaTeX Project Public License v1.3c or later See http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------- Using key-value options for packages and macros is a good way of handling large numbers of options with a clean interface. The pgfkeys package provides a very well designed system for defining and using keys, but does not make this available for handling LaTeX class and package options. The pgfopts package adds this ability to pgfkeys, in the same way that kvoptions extends the keyval package. Installation ------------ The package is supplied in dtx format and as a pre-extracted zip file, pgfopts.tds.zip. The later is most convenient for most users: simply unzip this in your local texmf directory and run texhash to update the database of file locations. If you want to unpack the dtx yourself, running 'tex pgfopts.dtx' will extract the package whereas 'latex pgfopts.dtx will extract it and also typeset the documentation. Typesetting the documentation requires a number of packages in addition to those needed to use the package. This is mainly because of the number of demonstration items included in the text. To compile the documentation without error, you will need the packages: - csquotes - helvet - hypdoc - listings - lmodern - mathpazo - microtype
