% \section{Introduction}
%
% This file implements the following declarations, which replace
% |\documentstyle| in  \LaTeXe\ documents.
%
% Note that old documents containing |\documentstyle| will be run using
% a compatibility option---thus keeping everyone happy, we hope!
%
% The overall idea is that there are two types of `style files':
% `class files' which define elements and provide a default formatting
% for them;  and `packages' which provide extra functionality.  One
% difference between \LaTeXe\ and \LaTeX2.09 is that \LaTeXe\ packages
% may have options. Note that options to classes packages may be
% implemented such that they input files, but these file names are not
% necessarily directly related to the option name.
%
% \section{User interface}
%
% |\documentclass[|\meta{main-option-list}|]{|^^A
%   \meta{class}|}[|\meta{version}|]|
%
% There must be exactly one such declaration, and it must come first.
% The \meta{main-option-list} is a list of options which can modify the
% formatting of elements which are defined in the \meta{class} file
% as well as in all following |\usepackage| declarations (see below).
% The \meta{version} is a version number, beginning with a date in the
% format |YYYY/MM/DD|.  If an older version of the class is found, a
% warning is issued.
%
% \bigskip
%
% |\documentstyle[|\meta{main-option-list}|]{|^^A
%   \meta{class}|}[|\meta{version}|]|
%
% The |\documentstyle| declaration is kept in order to maintain upward
% compatibility with \LaTeX2.09 documents.  It is similar to
% |\documentclass|, but it causes all options in
% \meta{main-option-list} that the \meta{class} does not use to be
% passed to |\RequirePackage| after the options have been processed.
% This maintains compatibility with the 2.09 behaviour. Also a flag is
% set to indicate that the document is to be processed in \LaTeX2.09
% compatibility mode.  As far as most packages are concerned, this
% only affects the warnings and errors \LaTeX\ generates. This flag
% does affect the definition of font commands, and |\sloppy|.
%
% \bigskip
%
% |\usepackage[|\meta{package-option-list}|]{|^^A
%    \meta{package-list}|}[|\meta{version}|]|
%
% There can be any number of these declarations. All packages in
% \meta{package-list} are called with the same options.
%
% Each \meta{package} file defines new elements (or modifies those
% defined in the \meta{class}), and thus extends the range of documents
% which can be processed.
% The \meta{package-option-list} is a list of options which can modify
% the formatting of elements defined in the \meta{package} file.
% The \meta{version} is a version number, beginning with a date in the
% format |YYYY/MM/DD|.  If an older version of the package is found, a
% warning is issued.
%
% Each package is loaded only once.  If the same package is requested
% more than once, nothing happens, unless the package has been requested
% with options that were not given the first time it was loaded, in
% which case an error is produced.
%
% As well as processing the options given in the
% \meta{package-option-list}, each package processes the
% \meta{main-option-list}.  This means that options that affect all
% of the packages can be given globally, rather than repeated for every
% package.
%
% Note that class files have the extension |.cls|, packages have the
% extension |.sty|.
%
% \DescribeEnv{filecontents}
% The environment |filecontents| is intended for passing the contents
% of packages, options, or other files along with a document in a
% single file.
% It has one argument, which is the name of the file to create. If that
% file already exists (maybe only in the current directory if the OS
% supports a notion of a `current directory' or `default directory')
% then nothing happens
% (except for an information message) and the body of the environment
% is bypassed. Otherwise, the body of the environment is written
% verbatim to the file name given as the first argument, together with
% some comments about how it was produced.
%
% The environment is allowed only before |\documentclass| to ensure
% that all packages or options necessary for this particular run are
% present when needed.  The begin and end tags should each be on a
% line by itself.  There is also a star-form; this does not write
% extra comments into the file.
%
% \subsection{Option processing}
%
% When the options are processed, they are divided into two types: {\em
% local\/} and {\em global}:
% \begin{itemize}
%
% \item For a class, the options in the |\documentclass| command are
%    local.
%
% \item For a package, the options in the |\usepackage| command are
%    local, and the options in the |\documentclass| command are global.
%
% \end{itemize}
% The options for |\documentclass| and |\usepackage|
% are processed in the following way:
% \begin{enumerate}
%
% \item The local and global options that have been declared
%   (using |\DeclareOption| as  described below) are processed
%   first.
%
%  In the case of |\ProcessOptions|, they are processed in the order
%  that they were declared in the class or package.
%
%  In the case of |\ProcessOptions*|, they are processed in the order
%  that they appear in the option-lists. First the global options, and
%  then the local ones.
%
% \item Any remaining local options are dealt with using the default
%   option (declared using the |\DeclareOption*| declaration described
%   below).  For document classes, this usually does nothing, but
%   records the option on a list of unused options.
%   For packages, this usually produces an error.
%
% \end{enumerate}
% Finally, when |\begin{document}| is reached, if there are any global
% options which have not been used by either the class or any package,
% the system will produce a warning.
%
%
% \section{Class and Package interface}
%
% \subsection{Class name and version}
%
% \DescribeMacro\ProvidesClass
% A class can identify itself with the
% |\ProvidesClass{|\meta{name}|}[|\meta{version}|]| command.  The
% \meta{version} should begin with a date in the format |YYYY/MM/DD|.
%
% \subsection{Package name and version}
%
% \DescribeMacro\ProvidesPackage
% A package can identify itself with the
% |\ProvidesPackage|\marg{name}\oarg{version} command.  The
% \meta{version} should begin with a date in the format |YYYY/MM/DD|.
%
% \subsection{Requiring other packages}
%
% \DescribeMacro\RequirePackage
% Packages or classes can load other packages using\\
% |\RequirePackage|\oarg{options}\marg{name}\oarg{version}.\\
% If the package has already been loaded, then nothing happens unless
% the requested options are not a subset of the options with which it
% was loaded, in which case an error is called.
%
% \DescribeMacro\LoadClass
%  Similar to |\RequirePackage|, but for classes, may not be used in
%  package files.
%
% \DescribeMacro\PassOptionsToPackage
% Packages can pass options to other packages using:\\
% |\PassOptionsToPackage{|\meta{options}|}{|\meta{package}|}|.\\
% \DescribeMacro\PassOptionsToClass
% This adds the \meta{options} to the options list of any future
% |\RequirePackage| or |\usepackage| command.  For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \PassOptionsToPackage{foo,bar}{fred}
%    \RequirePackage[baz]{fred}\end{verbatim}
% is the same as:
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \RequirePackage[foo,bar,baz]{fred}\end{verbatim}
%
% \DescribeMacro\LoadClassWithOptions
% |\LoadClassWithOptions|\marg{name}\oarg{version}:\\
% This is similar to
% |\LoadClass|, but it always calls class \meta{name} with
% exactly the same option list that is being used by the current class,
% rather than an option explicitly  supplied or passed on by
% |\PassOptionsToClass|.
% \DescribeMacro\RequirePackageWithOptions
% |\RequirePackageWithOptions| is the analogous command for packages.
%
% This is mainly intended to allow one class to simply build on another,
% for example:
%\begin{verbatim}
%   \LoadClassWithOptions{article}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% This should be contrasted with the slightly different construction
%\begin{verbatim}
%   \DeclareOption*{\PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{article}}
%   \ProcessOptions
%   \LoadClass{article}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% As used here, the effects are more or less the same, but the
% version using |\LoadClassWithOptions| is slightly quicker
% (and less to type).
% If, however, the class declares options of its own then
% the two constructions are different; compare, for example:
%\begin{verbatim}
%   \DeclareOption{landscape}{...}
%   \ProcessOptions
%   \LoadClassWithOptions{article}
%\end{verbatim}
% with:
%\begin{verbatim}
%   \DeclareOption{landscape}{...}
%   \DeclareOption*{\PassOptionsToClass{\CurrentOption}{article}}
%   \ProcessOptions
%   \LoadClass{article}
%\end{verbatim}
% In the first case, the \textsf{article} class will be called with
% option |landscape| precisely when the current class is called with
% this option; but in the second example it will
% not as in that case \textsf{article} is only passed options by the
% default option handler, which is not used for |landscape| as that
% option is explicitly declared.
%
% \DescribeMacro\@ifpackageloaded
% To find out if a package has already been loaded, use\\
% \DescribeMacro\@ifclassloaded
% |\@ifpackageloaded{|\meta{package}|}{|\meta{true}|}{|\meta{false}|}|.
%
% \DescribeMacro\@ifpackagelater
% \changes{v1.1i}{2013/07/07}{Correctly describe how the date in
%       \cs{@ifpackagelater} is used}
% To find out if a package has already been loaded with a version
% equal to or more
% recent than \meta{version}, use\\
% \DescribeMacro\@ifclasslater
% |\@ifpackagelater{|\meta{package}|}{|\meta{version}|}{|^^A
% \meta{true}|}{|\meta{false}|}|.
%
% \DescribeMacro\@ifpackagewith
% To find out if a package has already been loaded with at least the
% options \meta{options}, use
% \DescribeMacro\@ifclasswith
% |\@ifpackagewith{|\meta{package}|}{|\meta{options}|}{|^^A
% \meta{true}|}{|\meta{false}|}|.
%
% There exists one package that can't be tested with the above
% commands: the \texttt{fontenc} package pretends that it was never
% loaded to allow for repeated reloading with different options (see
% \texttt{ltoutenc.dtx} for details).
%
%
% \subsection{Declaring new options}
%
% Options for classes and packages are built using the same macros.
%
% \DescribeMacro\DeclareOption To define a builtin option, use
% |\DeclareOption{|\meta{name}|}{|\meta{code}|}|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\DeclareOption*} To define the default action to
% perform for local options which have not been declared, use
% |\DeclareOption*{|\meta{code}|}|.
%
% {\em Note\/}: there should be no use of\\
%  |\RequirePackage|, |\DeclareOption|, |\DeclareOption*| or
%   |\ProcessOptions|\\
% inside |\DeclareOption| or |\DeclareOption*|.
%
% Possible uses for |\DeclareOption*| include:
%
% |\DeclareOption*{}|\\
%    Do nothing. Silently accept unknown options. (This suppresses the
%    usual warnings.)
%
% |\DeclareOption*{\@unkownoptionerror}|\\
%     Complain about unknown local options. (The initial setting for
%       package files.)
%
% |\DeclareOption*{\PassOptionsToPackage{\CurrentOption}|^^A
%                                     |{|\meta{pkg-name}|}|\\
% Handle the the current option by passing it on to the package
% \meta{pkg-name}, which will presumably be loaded via
% |\RequirePackage| later in the file. This is useful for building
% `extension' packages, that perhaps handle a couple of new options,
% but then pass everything else on to an existing package.
%
% |\DeclareOption*{\InputIfFileExists{xx-\CurrentOption.yyy}%|\\
% |               {}%|\\
% |               {\OptionNotUsed}}|\\
%  Handle the option foo by loading the file |xx-foo.yyy| if it
%  exists, otherwise do nothing, but declare that the option was not
%  used.
%  Actually the |\OptionNotUsed| declaration is only needed if this is
%  being used in class files, but does no harm in package files.
%
%
% \subsection{Safe Input Macros}
% \DescribeMacro{\InputIfFileExists}
%  |\InputIfFileExists{|\meta{file}|}{|\meta{then}|}{|\meta{else}|}|\\
% Inputs \meta{file} if it exists. Immediately before the input,
% \meta{then} is executed. Otherwise \meta{else} is executed.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\IfFileExists}
% As above, but does not input the file.
%
% One thing you might like to put in the \meta{else} clause is
%
% \DescribeMacro{\@missingfileerror}
% This starts an interactive request for a filename, supplying default
% extensions. Just hitting return causes the whole input to be skipped
% and entering |x| quits the current run,
%
% \DescribeMacro{\input}
% This has been redefined from the \LaTeX2.09 definition, in terms of
% the new commands |\InputIfFileExists| and |\@missingfileerror|.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\listfiles} Giving this declaration in the preamble
% causes a list of all files input via the `safe input' commands to be
% listed at the end. Any strings specified in the optional argument to
% |\ProvidesPackage| are listed alongside the file name. So files in
% standard (and other non-standard) distributions can put informative
% strings in this argument.

%  \begin{macro}{\pkgcls@parse@date@arg}
%    The |\pkgcls@parse@date@arg| command parses the second optional
%   argument of |\usepackage|, |\RequirePackage| or |\documentclass|
%   for a rollback request setting the values of |\pkgcls@targetdate|
%   and |\pkgcls@targetlabel|.
%
%   This optional argument has a dual purpose: If it just contains a
%   date string then this means that the package should have at least
%   that date (to ensure that a certain feature is actually available,
%   or a certain bug has been fixed). When the package gets loaded the
%   information in |\Provides...| will then be checked against this
%   request.
%
%   But if it starts with an equal sign followed by a date string or
%   followed by a version name then this means that we should roll
%   back to the state of the package at tht date or to the version
%   with the requested name.
%
%   If there was no optional argument or the optional argument
%   does not start with ``\texttt{=}'' then the |\pkgcls@targetdate|
%   is set to the date of the overall rollback request (via
%   \texttt{latexrelease}) or if that was not given it is set to
%   \texttt{0}.
%   In either case |\pkgcls@targetlabel| will be made empty.
%
%   If the argument doesn't start with  ``\texttt{=}'' then it is
%    supposed to be a ``minimal date'' and we therefore save the value
%    in |\pkgcls@mindate|, otherwise this macro is made empty.
%
%   So in summary we have:

%    \begin{macrocode}
  \pkgcls@targetdate
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If a \texttt{=} was in first position then |#1| will be empty. In
%    that case |#2| will be the original argument with a \texttt{=}
%    appended.
%
%    This can be parsed with |\@parse@version|, the trailing character
%    is simply ignored. This macro returns the parsed date as a number

%    date. Removing these declarations would make the file load a tiny
%    bit faster, but this way it works in any case.} and then we
%    finally load the correct release.
%
%    After loading that file we need to stop reading the current file
%    so we issue |\endinput|. Note that the |\relax| before that is
%    essential to ensure that the |\endinput| is only happening after
%    the file has been fully processed, otherwise it would act after the
%    first line of the |\@@input|!

%  \begin{macro}{\pkgcls@show@selection}
%    This command records what selection was made. As that is needed
%    in two places (and it is rather lengthly) it was placed in a
%    separate command. The first argument is the name of the external
%    file that is being loaded and is only needed for debugging.  The
%    second argument is the date that corresponds to this file and it
%    is used as part of the message.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%    Instead of ``best approximation'' we could say that we have been
%    able to exactly match the date (if it is exact), but that would
%    mean extra tests without much gain, so not done.
%    \begin{macrocode}
       Best approximation is

%  \begin{macro}{\pkgcls@rollbackdate@error}
%    This is called if the requested rollback date is earlier than the
%    earliest known release of a package or class.
%
%    A similar error is given if global rollback date and min-date on
%    a specific package conflict with each other, but that case is
%    happens only once so it is is inlined.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\pkgcls@rollbackdate@error#1{%
  \@latex@error{Suspicious rollback date given}%
     {The \@cls@pkg\space'\@currname'  claims that it 
      came into existence on #1 which\MessageBreak
      is after your requested rollback date --- so
      something is wrong here.\MessageBreak
      Continue and we use the earliest known release.}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%
%
%  \begin{macro}{\DeclareCurrentRelease}
%    This declares the date (and possible name) of the current version
%    of a package or class.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\DeclareCurrentRelease#1#2{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    First we test if |\pkgcls@targetdate| is greater than zero,
%    otherwise this code is bypassed (as there is no rollback
%    request).
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \ifnum\pkgcls@targetdate>\z@  % some sort of rollback request
%<*tracerollback>
    \pkgcls@debug{---DeclareCurrentRelease}%
    \pkgcls@debug{   1: #1}%
    \pkgcls@debug{   2: #2}%
%</tracerollback>
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If the value is greater than 1 we have to deal with a date
%    request, so we parse |#2| as a date and compare it with
%    |\pkgcls@targetdate|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \ifnum\pkgcls@targetdate>\@ne  % a date request
      \ifnum\@parse@version#2//00\@nil
           >\pkgcls@targetdate
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If it is greater that means the release date if this file is
%    later than the requested rollback date. Again we have two cases:
%    If there was a previous candidate release we use that one as the
%    current release is too young, but if there wasn't we have to use
%    this release nevertheless as there isn't any alternative.
%
%    However this case can only happen if there is a
%    |\DeclareCurrentRelease| but no declared older releases (so
%    basically the use of the declaration is a bit dubious).
%    \begin{macrocode}

        \ifx\pkgcls@candidate\@empty
          \pkgcls@rollbackdate@error{#2}%
        \else
          \pkgcls@use@this@release\pkgcls@candidate
                                  \pkgcls@releasedate
        \fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Otherwise the curent file is the right release, so we record that
%    in the transcript and then carry on.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \else
        \pkgcls@show@selection{current version}{#2}%
      \fi
    \else % a label request
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Otherwise we have a rollback request to a named version so we
%    check if that fits the current name and if not give an error as
%    this was the last possible opportunity.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \def\reserved@a{#1}%
      \ifx\pkgcls@targetlabel\reserved@a
        \pkgcls@show@selection{current version}{#2}%
      \else
        \@latex@error{Requested version '\pkgcls@targetlabel' for
          \@cls@pkg\space'\@currname' is unknown}\@ehc

  \fi
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
%

%  \begin{macro}{\IfTargetDateBefore}
%    This enables a simple form of conditional code inside a class or
%    package file. If there is a date request and the request date is
%    earlier than the first argument the code in the second argument
%    is processed otherwise the code in the third argument is
%    processed. If there was no date request then we also execute the
%    third argument, i.e., we will get the ``latest'' version of the
%    file.
%
%    Most often the second argument (before-date-code) will be empty.
