\section{Documentation}
The \pkg{ifmtarg} package provides an if--then--else programmer's command \verb|\@ifmtarg| for testing for an empty macro argument.
`Empty' here refers to an argument of zero or more spaces only.\footnote{If you need a command to test for emptiness that doesn't include spaces, use the \verb|\tl_if_empty:nTF| conditional from the \pkg{expl3} package. \verb|\@ifmtarg| is equivalent to \pkg{expl3}'s \verb|\tl_if_blank:nTF|.}
The command is fully expandable; its syntax is:
\begin{quote}
\cmd{\@ifmtarg}\marg{arg}\marg{Code for arg empty}
\\\null\hfill
\marg{Code for arg not empty}
\end{quote}
A variation is provided, \cmd{\@ifnotmtarg}, to be used when only the `false' branch is required.
It is slightly more efficient when code is only required for a non-empty argument.
\begin{quote}
\cmd{\@ifnotmtarg}\marg{arg}\marg{Code for arg not empty}
\end{quote}
\section{Examples}
\begin{verbatim}
\newcommand{\isempty}{1]{%
\@ifmtarg{#1}{YES}{NO}}
\end{verbatim}
\nobreak
\begin{tabular}{@{\hspace{1.8em}}>{\color{SeaGreen}}l@{$\quad\to\quad$}>{\ttfamily}l@{}}
\verb+\isempty{}+ & YES \\
\verb+\isempty{ }+ & YES \\
\verb+\isempty{E}+ & NO \\
\verb+\isempty{ E }+ & NO
\end{tabular}
\begin{verbatim}
\newcommand{\isnotempty}[1]{%
\@ifnotmtarg{#1}{YES}}
\end{verbatim}
\nobreak
\begin{tabular}{@{\hspace{1.8em}}>{\color{SeaGreen}}l@{$\quad\to\quad$}>{\ttfamily}l@{}}
\verb+\isnotempty{}+ & \\
\verb+\isnotempty{ }+ & \\
\verb+\isnotempty{E}+ & YES \\
\verb+\isnotempty{ E }+ & YES
\end{tabular}
\newpage
\section{History}
(\emph{Peter's comments follow.}) In an Email to me on 13 March 2000, Donald Arseneau pointed out some
failings with my original definition of the \cmd{\@ifmtarg} command:
%
\begin{verbatim}
\newcommand{\@ifmtarg}[3]{%
\edef\@mtarg{\zap@space#1 \@empty}%
\ifx\@empty\@mtarg\relax #2\else #3\fi}
\end{verbatim}
%
It works most of the time correctly but Donald showed that it can
give unexpected results
under conditions that I had not thought of. He suggested the coding
that now appears in the package above for the \cmd{\@ifmtarg} and
\cmd{\@ifnotmtarg} commands. For a discussion on detecting empty arguments
see \href{http://www.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/info/aro-bend/answer.002}{\texttt{CTAN/info/aro-bend/answer.002}}
