achemso --- LaTeX package options with pgfkeys
E-mail: joseph.wright@morningstar2.co.uk

----------------------------------------------------------------

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
