% \begin{abstract}
%    The \Lpack{docmfp} package extends the \Lpack{doc} package to cater for
% documentation of non-\LaTeX{} code, such as Metafont and Metapost code,
% or C or Java code.
% \end{abstract}
% \tableofcontents
%
%
% \section{Introduction}
%
%     It is common practice to document \LaTeX{} packages using the
% \Lpack{doc} system~\cite{GOOSSENS94}. 
% The \Lpack{docmfp} package extends the \Lpack{doc}
% package so that similar facilities are provided for the documentation
% of non-LaTeX{} code, such as Metafont and Metapost code, or code in
% other more common programming languages. 
% For example, a single \file{.dtx} file
% can contain the documented sources of both the Metafont code for a new
% font, together with the documented \LaTeX{} code for the accompanying
% package.
% 
% This manual is typeset according to the conventions of the
% \LaTeX{} \textsc{docstrip} utility which enables the automatic
% extraction of the \LaTeX{} macro source files~\cite{GOOSSENS94}.
%
%    Section~\ref{sec:usc} describes the usage of the package.
% Commented source code for the package is in Section~\ref{sec:code}.
%
% \section{The package} \label{sec:usc}
%
%    I have assumed that if you are reading this then you are familiar with
% the facilities provided by the \Lpack{doc} package.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\DescribeRoutine}
% The |\DescribeRoutine{|\meta{name}|}| command is equivalent to the \Lpack{doc}
% package |\DescribeEnv{|\meta{name}|}| command, except that it
% is intended to introduce the description of a \Mfp{} macro (or
% character or picture ). It typesets \meta{name}
% in the margin and also generates an index entry for \meta{name}.
%
% \DescribeEnv{routine}
% The |routine| environment is equivalent to the \Lpack{doc} package
% |macro| environment. It takes one argument, which is the name of the
% \Mfp{} macro (or character or picture) that is being defined.
% It typesets the argument in the margin and makes an index entry for it.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\routinestring}
% \DescribeMacro{\routineheadname}
%  These two commands contain the texts that are used in indexing 
% routine names. They can be changed via |\renewcommand|. Their default 
% definitions are:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \newcommand{\routinestring}{\space(routine)}
% \newcommand{\routineheadname}{routines:}
% \end{verbatim}
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\DescribeVariable}
% The |\DescribeVariable{|\meta{name}|}| is like the \Lpack{doc}
% |\DescribeMacro{|\meta{name}|}| command, except that it is intended
% to introduce the description, and definition, of a variable
% or parameter. It typesets \meta{name} in the margin and makes an index entry
% for it.
%
% \DescribeEnv{variable}
% The |variable| environment is equivalent to the \Lpack{doc} package
% |macro| environment. It takes one argument, which is the name of the
% variable or parameter that is being defined.
% It typesets the argument in the margin and makes an index entry for it.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\variablestring}
% \DescribeMacro{\variableheadname}
%  These two commands contain the texts that are used in indexing 
% variable names. They can be changed via |\renewcommand|. Their default 
% definitions are:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \newcommand{\variablestring}{\space(variable)}
% \newcommand{\variableheadname}{variables:}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% A routine or variable \meta{name} can include the underscore and
% hash characters (i.e., |_| and |#|), so that names like |a_variable#| can
% be used.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\Describe}
% This is a generalization of the |\Describe...| commands.
%
% |\Describe{|\meta{head}|}{|\meta{flag}|}{|\meta{name}|}| typesets
% \meta{name} in the margin and makes index entries for it. One
% entry will be a main entry as |name flag|, and the other will
% be a subsidiary entry of |name| under the main heading |head|.
%
% Essentially, |\DescribeVariable{name}| is equivalent to: \\
% |\Describe{\variableheadname}{\variablestring}{name}|
%
% \DescribeEnv{Code}
% This is a generalization of the |variable| and |routine| environments.
%
% |\begin{Code}{|\meta{head}|}{|\meta{flag}|}{|\meta{name}|}| typesets
% \meta{name} in the margin and makes index entries for it. One
% entry will be a main entry as |name flag|, and the other will
% be a subsidiary entry of |name| under the main heading |head|.
%
% Essentially, |\begin{routine}{name}| is equivalent to: \\
% |\begin{Code}{\routineheadname}{\routinestring}{name}|
%
%    For example, if you are documenting Java code, then you may wish
% to use commands like: \\
% |\newcommand{\cvar}{class variables}| \\
% |\newcommand{\fcvar}{ (variable)}| \\
% |\newcommand{\ofield}{object fields}| \\
% |\newcommand{\ffield}{ (field)}| \\
% |\newcommand{\cmeth}{class methods}| \\
% |\newcommand{\ometh}{object methods}| \\
% |\newcommand{\meth}{ (method)}| \\
% |\Describe{\cvar}{\fcvar}{...}| for class variables \\
% |\Describe{\ofield}{\ffield}{...}| for object fields \\
% |\begin{Code}{\cmeth}{\meth}{...}| for class methods \\
% |\begin{Code}{\ometh}{\meth}{...}| for object methods. \\
%
%
% 
% \subsection{Usage with \file{.dtx} and \file{.ins} files}
%
%    I assume that the major use of the \Lpack{docmfp} package will be in
% \file{.dtx} file(s) that will be processed via a corresponding \file{.ins} file.
% The \Lpack{ltxdoc} class also automatically calls the \Lpack{doc} package.
%
%   As an example, if the \Lpack{docmfp} package was needed for the document
% you are now reading, then I would have started it off like this (but look at
% the start of the source for details that I ignore here):
% \begin{verbatim}
% %<*driver>
% \documentclass{ltxdoc}
% \usepackage{docmfp}
% \EnableCrossrefs
% \CodelineIndex
% \setcounter{StandardModuleDepth}{1}
% \begin{document}
%   \DocInput{docmfp.dtx}
% \end{document}
% %</driver>
% \end{verbatim}
%
%    The source of this document also includes several calls of the 
% \Lpack{docmfp} commands, which I have commented out (use your editor
% to look for the occurences of the string |^^A| after this point). You can
% edit the source to include the |\usepackage{docmfp}| command and uncomment
% the \Lpack{docmfp} commands if you want to sample the package in use.
%
% ^^A \DescribeVariable{a_variable#}
% ^^A \DescribeRoutine{an_mfp_macro}
% ^^A \DescribeVariable{aN_variable#l9e[24]}
% ^^A \DescribeRoutine{another_macro}
%
%
%   The source of an \file{.ins} file might look like this:
% \begin{verbatim}
% %% file myfile.ins
% \def\batchfile{myfile.ins}
% \input docstrip.tex
% \preamble
%   Copyright and other notices
% \endpreamble
% \generateFile{myfile.drv}{t}{\from{myfile.dtx}{driver}}
% \generateFile{mypackage.sty}{t}{\from{myfile.dtx}{pack}}
%
% \endinput
% \end{verbatim}
%    By default, the documentation system will put an |\endinput| command
% at the end of each file it generates (\file{myfile.drv} and \file{mypackage.sty}
% in the example above). This is fine provided the generated files are to be
% processed by \LaTeX{} which understands |\endinput|. If a generated file is
% to be processed by something that treats |\endinput| as an error, as \Mfp{} 
% will, then there is a problem.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\usepostamble}
% \DescribeMacro{\empty}
% \DescribeMacro{\defaultpostamble}
%    The documentation system provides these three commands which can be used 
% within an \file{.ins} file to
% either prevent or enable the addition of |\endinput| to the generated files.
% Extending the above example \file{.ins} file to include both Metafont and
% and \LaTeX{} files we can have:
% \begin{verbatim}
% %% file myfile.ins
% \def\batchfile{myfile.ins}
% \input docstrip.tex
% \preamble
%   Copyright and other notices
% \endpreamble
% \generateFile{myfile.drv}{t}{\from{myfile.dtx}{driver}}
% \usepostamble\empty                 % switch off writing \endinput
% \generateFile{myfont.mf}{t}{\from{myfile.dtx}{font}}
% \usepostamble\defaultpostamble      % switch on writing \endinput
% \generateFile{mypackage.sty}{t}{\from{myfile.dtx}{pack}}
%
% \endinput
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\usepreamble}
% \DescribeMacro{\defaultpreamble}
%    The documentation system provides these commands which can be used 
% within an \file{.ins} file to
% either prevent or enable the addition of preamble information at the
% beginning of the generated files. The preamble information is in
% the form of LaTeX comment lines (i.e., lines starting with \%).
% Other languages that you may wish to document probably have other
% different commenting conventions, in which cases it is desireable
% to inhibit the preamble output.
% Extending the above example \file{.ins} file to turn off the preamble
% for the driver file we can have:
% \begin{verbatim}
% %% file myfile.ins
% \def\batchfile{myfile.ins}
% \input docstrip.tex
% \usepreamble\empty            % switch off all preamble info
% \generateFile{myfile.drv}{t}{\from{myfile.dtx}{driver}}
% \usepreamble\defaultpreamble  % switch on normal preambling
% \preamble
%   Copyright and other notices
% \endpreamble
% \usepostamble\empty                 % switch off writing \endinput
% \generateFile{myfont.mf}{t}{\from{myfile.dtx}{font}}
% \usepostamble\defaultpostamble      % switch on writing \endinput
% \generateFile{mypackage.sty}{t}{\from{myfile.dtx}{pack}}
%
% \endinput
% \end{verbatim}
%
%    There is no intrinsic reason why the use of this package should be limited
% to documenting \Mfp{} code. It could just as well be used for documenting C,
% C++, Java, or practically any other kind of code.

% \begin{macro}{\check@checksum}
% After some experience with using \Lpack{docmfp} for code that had
% no resemblence at all to \LaTeX, I found that if there were no
% backslashes present, then \Lpack{doc} whined about there being no
% checksum and said that the |\CheckSum| should be set to zero, which
% it was. This is the relevent code from the \Lpack{doc} package.
