% \section{The \pkg{l3build} system}
%
% \subsection{Introduction}
%
% The \pkg{l3build} system is a Lua script for building \TeX{} packages, with particular emphasis on regression testing.
% It is written in cross-platform Lua code, so can be used by any modern \TeX{} distribution with the |texlua| interpreter.
% A package for building with \pkg{l3build} can be written in any \TeX\ dialect; its defaults are set up for \LaTeX\ packages written in the DocStrip style. (Caveat: minimal testing has yet been performed for non-\LaTeX{} packages.)
%
% Test files are written as standalone \TeX{} documents using the |regression-test.tex| setup file; documentation on writing these tests is discussed in Section~\ref{sec:writing-tests}.
%
% Each package will define its own |build.lua| configuration file which both sets variables (such as the name of the package) and may also provide custom functions.
%
% \pagebreak[2]
% A standard package layout might look something like the following:
% \begin{Verbatim}[fontsize=\small]
%  abc/
%      abc.dtx
%      abc.ins
%      build.lua
%      README.md
%      support/
%      testfiles/
% \end{Verbatim}
% Most of this should look fairly self-explanatory.
% The top level |support/| directory (optional) would contain any necessary files for compiling documentation, running regression tests, and so on.
%
% The \pkg{l3build} system is also capable of building and checking \emph{bundles} of packages.
% To avoid confusion, we refer to either a standalone package or a package within a bundle as a \emph{module}.
%
% For example, within the \LaTeX3 project we have the \textsf{l3packages} bundle which contains the \textsf{xparse}, \textsf{xtemplate}, etc., modules.
% These are all built and distributed as one bundle for installation, distribution \emph{via} CTAN and so forth.
%
% Each module in a bundle will have its own build script, and a bundle build script brings them all together.
% A standard bundle layout would contain the following structure.
% \begin{Verbatim}
% mybundle/
%          build.lua
%          support/
%          yyy/                    zoo/
%              build.lua               build.lua
%              README.md               README.md
%              testfiles/              testfiles/
%              yyy.dtx                 zoo.dtx
%              yyy.ins                 zoo.ins
% \end{Verbatim}
% All modules within a bundle must use the same build script name.
%
% In a small number of cases, the name used by CTAN for a module or bundle is
% different from that used in the installation tree. For example, the \LaTeXe{}
% kernel is called \pkg{latex-base} by CTAN but is located inside
% \texttt{\meta{texmf}/tex/latex/base}. This can be handled by using
% \var{ctanpkg} for the name required by CTAN to override the standard
% value.
%
% The |testfiles/| folder is local to each module, and its layout consists of a series of regression tests with their outputs.
% \begin{Verbatim}
% testfiles/
%           test1.lvt
%           test1.tlg
%           ...
%           support/
%                   my-test.cls
% \end{Verbatim}
% Again, the |support/| directory contains any files necessary to run some or all of these tests.
%
% When the build system runs, it creates a directory |build/| for various unpacking, compilation, and testing purposes.
% For a module, this build folder can be in the main directory of the package itself, but for a bundle it should be common for the bundle itself and for all modules within that bundle.
% A |build/| folder can be safety deleted; all material within is re-generated for each command of the \pkg{l3build} system.
%
% \subsection{Main build commands}
%
% In the working directory of a bundle or module, the following commands can be executed:
% \begin{itemize}[noitemsep]\ttfamily
% \item check
% \item check \meta{name(s)}
% \item cmdcheck
% \item clean
% \item ctan
% \item doc \meta{name(s)}
% \item install
% \item save \meta{name(s)}
% \item tag
% \item unpack
% \end{itemize}
% These commands are described below.
%
% As well as these commands, the system recognises the options
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item |--config| (|-c|) Configuration(s) to use for testing
% \item |--date| Date to use when tagging
%   data
% \item |--dry-run| Runs the \texttt{install} target but does not copy
%   any files: simply lists those that would be installed
% \item |--engine| (|-e|) Sets the engine to use for
%   testing
% \item |--epoch| Sets the epoch for typesetting and testing
% \item |--first| Name of the first test to run
% \item |--force| (|-f|) Force checks to run even if sanity
%   checks fail, \emph{e.g.}~when |--engine| is not given in
%   \luavar{checkengines}
% \item |--halt-on-error| (|-H|) Specifies that checks
%   should stop as soon as possible, rather than running all requested
%   tests; the difference file is printed in the terminal directly in the case of failure
%  \item |--last| Name of the last test to run
% \item |--pdf| (|-p|) Test PDF file against a reference
%   version rather than using a log comparison
% \item |--quiet| (|-q|) Suppresses output from unpacking
% \item |--rerun| Run tests without unpacking/set up
% \item |--shuffle| Shuffle the order in whichs tests run
% \item |--texmfhome| Sets the location of the user tree for installing
% \end{itemize}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{check}
% The |check| command runs the entire test suite.
% This involves iterating through each \texttt{.lvt} file in the test directory (specified by the \var{testfiledir} variable), compiling each test in a \enquote{sandbox} (a directory specified by \var{testdir}), and comparing the output against each matching predefined \texttt{.tlg} file.
%
% If changes to the package or the typesetting environment have affected the results, the check for that file fails.
% A |diff| of the expected to actual output should then be inspected to determine the cause of the error; it is located in the \var{testdir} directory (default \luavar{testdir}).
%
% On Windows, the |diff| program is not available and so |fc| is used instead
% (generating an |.fc| file). Setting the environmental variables |diffexe|
% and |diffext| can be used to adjust the choice of comparison made: the standard
% values are
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item[Windows] |diffext = fc|, |diffexe = fc /n|
%   \item[*nix] |diffext = diff|, |diffexe = diff -c --strip-trailing-cr|
% \end{itemize}
%
% The following files are moved into the \enquote{sandbox} for the |check| process:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item all \var{installfiles} after unpacking;
% \item all \var{checkfiles} after unpacking;
% \item any files in the directory \var{testsuppdir};
% \item any files that match \var{checksuppfiles} in the \var{supportdir}.
% \end{itemize}
% This range of possibilities allow sensible defaults but significant flexibility for defining your own test setups.
%
% Checking can be performed with any or all of the `engines' \texttt{pdftex}, \texttt{xetex}, and \texttt{luatex}.
% By default, each test is executed with all three, being compared against the \texttt{.tlg} file produced from the \var{pdftex} engine (these defaults are controlled by the |checkengines| and |stdengine| variable respectively).
% The format used for tests can be altered by setting \var{checkformat}: the default setting \texttt{latex} means that tests are run using \emph{e.g.}~\texttt{pdflatex}, whereas setting to \texttt{plain} will run tests using \emph{e.g.}~\texttt{pdftex}.
% (Currently, this should be one of \texttt{latex} or \texttt{plain}.)
% To perform the check, the engine typesets each test \var{checkruns} times.
% More detail on this in the documentation on |save|.
% Options passed to the binary are defined in the variable \var{checkopts}.
%
% By default, |texmf| trees are searched for input files when checking. This can be disabled by setting \var{checksearch} to |false|: isolation provides confidence that the tests cannot accidentally be running with incorrect files installed in the main distribution or |hometexmf|.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{check \meta{name(s)}}
% Checks only the test \texttt{\meta{name(s)}.lvt}.
% All engines specified by \var{checkengines} are tested unless the command
% line option |--engine| (or |-e|) has been given to limit
% testing to a single engine. Normally testing is preceded by unpacking
% source files and copying the result plus any additional support to the
% test directory: this may be skipped using the |-s| option.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{check -p}
% Rather than the log-based checking carried out by the standard
% |check| target, running with the |-p| option carries out a binary
% comparison of the PDF files produced by typesetting against those
% saved in \var{testfiledir}.
%
% This functionality requires \TeX{} Live 2016 or later as it needs support
% from the engines not available in earlier releases.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{clean}
% This command removes all temporary files used for package bundling and regression testing.
% In the standard layout, these are all files within the directories defined by \var{localdir}, \var{testdir}, \var{typesetdir} and \var{unpackdir}, as well as all files defined in the \var{cleanfiles} variable in the same directory as the script.
% The defaults are |.pdf| files from typesetting (|doc|) and |.zip| files from bundling (|ctan|).
% \end{buildcmd}
%
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{ctan}
% Creates an archive of the package and its documentation, suitable for uploading to CTAN
% The archive is compiled in \var{distribdir}, and if the results are successful the resultant |.zip| file is moved into the same directory as the build script.
% If \var{packtdszip} is set true then  the building process includes a |.tds.zip| file containing the `\TeX\ Directory Structure' layout of the package or bundle.
% The archive therefore may contain two `views' of the package:
% \begin{Verbatim}
% abc.zip/
%         abc/
%             abc.dtx
%             abc.ins
%             abc.pdf
%             README.md
%         abc.tds.zip/
%                     doc/latex/abc/
%                                   abc.pdf
%                                   README.md
%                  source/latex/abc/
%                                   abc.dtx
%                                   abc.ins
%                     tex/latex/abc/
%                                   abc.sty
% \end{Verbatim}
% The files copied into the archive are controlled by a number of variables.
% The `root' of the TDS structure is defined by \var{tdsroot}, which is \luavar{tdsroot} by default. Plain users would redefine this to |"plain"| (or perhaps |"generic"|), for example.
% The build process for a |.tds.zip| file currently assumes a `standard'
% structure in which all extracted files should be placed inside the |tex|
% tree in a single directory, as shown above. If the module includes any
% \BibTeX{} or MakeIndex styles these will be placed in the appropriate
% subtrees.
%
% \pagebreak[2]
% The |doc| tree is constructed from:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item all files matched by \var{demofiles},
% \item all files matched by \var{docfiles},
% \item all files matched by \var{typesetfiles} with their extension replaced with |.pdf|,
% \item all files matched by \var{textfiles},
% \item all files matched by \var{bibfiles}.
% \end{itemize}
% The |source| tree is constructed from all files matched by \var{typesetfiles} and \var{sourcefiles}.
% The |tex| tree from all files matched by \var{installfiles}.
%
% Files that should always be excluded from the archive are matched against the \var{excludefiles} variable; by default this is \luavar{excludefiles}, which match Emacs' autosave files.
%
% Binary files should be specified with the \var{binaryfiles} variable (default \luavar{binaryfiles}); these are added to the zip archive without normalising line endings (text files are automatically converted to Unix-style line endings).
%
% To create the archive, by default the binary \var{zipexe} is used (\luavar{zipexe}) with options \var{zipopts} (|-v -r -X|). The intermediate build directories \var{ctandir} and \var{tdsdir} are used to construct the archive.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{doc}
% Compiles documentation files in the \var{typesetdir} directory.
% In the absence of one or more file names, all documentation is typeset;
% a file list may be given at the command line for selective typesetting.
% If the compilation is successful the |.pdf| is moved back into the main directory.
%
% The documentation compilation is performed with the \var{typesetexe} binary (default \texttt{pdflatex}), with options \var{typesetopts}.
% Additional \TeX{} material defined in \var{typesetcmds} is passed to the document (e.g., for writing |\\PassOptionsToClass{l3doc}{letterpaper}|, and so on---note that backslashes need to be escaped in Lua strings).
%
% Files that match |typesetsuppfiles| in the |support| directory (|supportdir|) are copied into the |build/local| directory (|localdir|) for the typesetting compilation process.
% Additional dependencies listed in the \var{typesetdeps} variable (empty by default) will also be installed.
%
% Source files specified in \var{sourcefiles} and \var{typesetsourcefiles}
% are unpacked before the typesetting takes place. (In most cases
% \var{typesetsourcefiles} will be empty, but may be used where there are
% files to unpack \emph{only} for typesetting.)
%
% If \var{typesetsearch} is \code{true} (default), standard \texttt{texmf} search trees are used in the typesetting compilation. If set to false, \emph{all} necessary files for compilation must be included in the |build/local| sandbox.
%
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{doc \meta{name(s)}}
%   Typesets only the files with the \meta{name(s)} given, which should be the
%   root name without any extension.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{install}
% Copies all package files (defined by \var{installfiles}) into the user's home \texttt{texmf} tree in the form of the \TeX\ Directory Structure.
% The location of the user tree can be adjusted using the |--texmfhome| swtich:
% the standard setting is the location set as |TEXMFHOME|.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{save \meta{name(s)}}
% This command runs through the same execution as |check| for a specific test(s) \texttt{\meta{name(s)}.lvt}.
% This command saves the output of the test to a |.tlg| file.
% This file is then used in all subsequent checks against the \texttt{\meta{name}.lvt} test.
%
% If the |--engine| (or |-e|) is specified (one of |pdftex|, |xetex|, or |luatex|), the saved output is stored in \texttt{\meta{name}.\meta{engine}.tlg}. This is necessary if running the test through a different engine produces a different output.
% A normalisation process is performed when checking to avoid common differences such as register allocation; full details are listed in section~\ref{sec:norm}.
%
% If the \var{recordstatus} variable is set \var{true}, additional information
% will be added to the \texttt{.tlg} to record the \enquote{exit status} of the
% typesetting compilation of the \texttt{.lvt} file. If the typesetting compilation
% completed without throwing an error (due to \TeX\ programming errors, for example),
% the \enquote{exit status} is zero, else non-zero.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{save -p \meta{name(s)}}
% This version of |save| will store the PDF files produced from
% \texttt{\meta{name(s)}.lvt} in addition to the |.tlg| file, and thus allows
% binary comparison of the result of typesetting.
%
% This functionality requires \TeX{} Live 2016 or later as it needs support
% from the engines not available in earlier releases.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{manifest}
% Generates a `manifest' file which lists the files of the package as known to \pkg{l3build}.
% The filename of this file (by default \luavar{manifestfile}) can be set with the variable \var{manifestfile}.
%
% The intended purpose of this manifest file is to include it within a package as metadata.
% This would allow, say, for the copyright statement for the package to refer to the
% manifest file rather than requiring the author to manually keep a file list up-to-date
% in multiple locations. The manifest file can be structured and documented with a degree
% of flexibility. Additional information is described in Section~\ref{sec:manifest}.
%
% In order for \texttt{manifest} to detect derived and typeset files, it should be run
% \emph{after} running \texttt{unpack} and \texttt{doc}. If \texttt{manifest}
% is run after also running \texttt{ctan} it will include the files included
% in the CTAN and TDS directories as well.
%
% Presently, this means that if you wish to include an up-to-date manifest file
% as part of a \texttt{ctan} release, you must run
%   \texttt{ctan} / \texttt{manifest} / \texttt{ctan}.
% Improvements to this process are planned for the future.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{tag}
% Modifies the content of files specified by |tagfiles| to allow
% automatic updating of the release tag and date. The tag is given as a
% command line option, whilst the optional date should be passed using
% |--date| (|-d|); if not given, the date will default to the current date in
% ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD). As detailed below, the standard set up has no search
% pattern defined for this target and so no action will be taken \emph{unless}
% tag substitution is set up.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \begin{buildcmd}{unpack}
% This is an internal target that is normally not needed on user level.
% It unpacks all files into the directory defined by \var{unpackdir}. This occurs before other build commands such as |doc|, |check|, etc.
%
% The unpacking process is performed by executing the \var{unpackexe} (default \texttt{tex}) with options \var{unpackopts} on all files defined by the \var{unpackfiles} variable; by default, all files that match \luavar{unpackfiles}.
%
% If additional support files are required for the unpacking process, these can be enumerated in the \var{unpacksuppfiles} variable.
% Dependencies for unpacking are defined with \var{unpackdeps}.
%
% By default this process allows files to be accessed in all standard |texmf| trees; this can be disabled by setting \var{unpacksearch} to |false|.
% \end{buildcmd}
%
% \subsection{The \texttt{build.lua} file}
%
% The \texttt{build.lua} file used to control \pkg{l3build} is a simple Lua file
% which is read during execution. In the current release of \pkg{l3build},
% \texttt{build.lua} is read automatically and can access all of the global
% functions provided by the script. Thus it may contain a simple list of
% variable settings \emph{or} additionally custom code to change the build
% process. A number of example scripts are given in Section~\ref{sec:examples}.
%
% \subsection{Example build scripts}
% \label{sec:examples}
%
% An example of a standalone build script for a package that uses self-contained |.dtx| files is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:breqn}.
% Here, the |module| only is defined, and since it doesn't use |.ins| files so the variable \var{unpackfiles} is redefined to run |tex| on the |.dtx| files instead to generate the necessary |.sty| files.
% There are some PDFs in the repository that shouldn't be part of a CTAN submission, so they're explicitly excluded, and here unpacking is done `quietly' to minimise console output when building the package.
%
% \begin{figure}[!b]
%   \begin{lstlisting}[frame=single,language={[5.2]Lua},gobble = 6]
%     -- Build configuration for breqn
%
%     module = "breqn"
%
%     unpackfiles = {"*.dtx"}
%     excludefiles = {"*/breqn-abbr-test.pdf",
%                     "*/eqbreaks.pdf"}
%     unpackopts  = "-interaction=batchmode"
%   \end{lstlisting}
% \caption{The build configuration for the \pkg{breqn} package.}
% \label{fig:breqn}
% \end{figure}
%
% An example of a bundle build script for \pkg{l3packages} is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:bundle}.
% Note for \LaTeX3 we use a common file to set all build variables in one place, and the path to the |l3build.lua| script is hard-coded so we always use our own most recent version of the script.
% An example of an accompanying module build script is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:module}.
%
% \begin{figure}[p]
%   \begin{lstlisting}[frame=single,language={[5.2]Lua},gobble = 6]
%     -- Build script for LaTeX3 "l3packages" files
%
%     -- Identify the bundle: there is no module as this is the "driver"
%     bundle = "l3packages"
%
%     -- Location of main directory: use Unix-style path separators
%     maindir = ".."
%   \end{lstlisting}
% \caption{The build script for the \pkg{l3packages} bundle.}
% \label{fig:bundle}

%     maindir = "../.."
%   \end{lstlisting}
% \caption{The build script for the \pkg{xparse} module.}
% \label{fig:module}
% \end{figure}
%
% \subsection{Backward compatibly}
%
% Earlier releases of \pkg{l3build} required that the last line of
% \texttt{build.lua} ran the main script, \emph{i.e.}~ that \texttt{build.lua}
% was what the user called rather than \texttt{l3build.lua}. To allow scripts
% to support both forms \emph{for the transition}, a simple test may be
% included as showing in Figure~\ref{fig:build-compat}.
% \begin{figure}
%   \begin{lstlisting}[frame=single,language={[5.2]Lua},gobble = 6]
%     if not release_date then
%       dofile(kpse.lookup("l3build.lua"))
%     end
%   \end{lstlisting}
% \caption{Final lines for a \texttt{build.lua} script usable with both older
%   and newer releases of \pkg{l3build}.}
% \label{fig:build-compat}
% \end{figure}
%
% Note that in time support for loading \pkg{l3build} by calling the
% \texttt{build.lua} script \emph{may} be removed: the recommended approach for
% new scripts is to run \pkg{l3build}.
%
% \subsection{Variables}
%
% This section lists all variables defined in the |l3build.lua| script that are available for customisation.
%
% \subsection{Interaction between tests}
%
% Tests are run in a single directory, so whilst they are may be isolated from
% the system \TeX{} tree they do share files. This may be significant if
% installation-type files are generated during a test, for example by a 
% |filecontents| environment in \LaTeX{}. Typically, you should set up your
% tests such that they do not use the same names for such files: this may lead
% to variable outcomes depending on the order in which tests are run.
%
% \luavartypeset
%
% \subsection{Multiple sets of tests}
%
% In most cases, a single set of tests will be appropriate for the module, with
% a common set of configuration settings applying. However, there are
% situations where you may need entirely independent sets of tests which have
% different setting values, for example using different formats or where the
% entire set will be engine-dependent. To support this, \pkg{l3build} offers
% the possibility of using multiple configurations for tests. This is supported
% using the \var{checkconfigs} table. This is used to list the names of each
% configuration (|.lua| file) which will be used to run tests.
%
% For example, for the core \LaTeXe{} tests the main test files are contained
% in a directory |testfiles|. To test font loading for \XeTeX{} and \LuaTeX{}
% there are a second set of tests in |testfiles-TU| which use the short
% |build-TU.lua| file shown in Figure~\ref{fig:configs}. To run both sets of
% tests, the main |build.lua| file contains the setting
% |checkconfigs = {"build", "config-TU"}|. This will cause \pkg{l3build} to run
% first using no additional settings (\emph{i.e.}~reading the normal
% |build.lua| file alone), then running \emph{also} loading the settings from
% |config-TU.lua|.
% \begin{figure}
%   \begin{lstlisting}[frame=single,language={[5.2]Lua},gobble = 6]
%     -- Special config for these tests
%     checksearch  = true
%     checkengines = {"xetex","luatex"}
%     testfiledir  = "testfiles-TU"
%   \end{lstlisting}
% \caption{Example of using additional (or overriding) settings for configuring tests in a different subdirectory.}
% \label{fig:configs}
% \end{figure}
%
% To allow selection of a one or more configurations, and to allow saving of
% |.tlg| files in non-standard configurations, the |--config| (|-c|) option may
% be used. This works in the same way as |--engine|: it takes a comma list of
% configurations to apply, overriding \var{checkconfigs}.
%
% \subsection{Dependencies}
%
% If you have multiple packages that are developed separately but still interact in some way, it's often desirable to integrate them when performing regression tests.
% For \LaTeX3, for example, when we make changes to \pkg{l3kernel} it's important to check that the tests for \pkg{l3packages} still run correctly, so it's necessary to include the \pkg{l3kernel} files in the build process for \pkg{l3packages}.
%
% In other words, \pkg{l3packages} is \emph{dependent} on \pkg{l3kernel}, and this is specified in \pkg{l3build} by setting appropriately the variables \texttt{checkdeps}, \texttt{typesetdeps}, and \texttt{unpackdeps}.
% The relevant parts of the \LaTeX3 repository is structured as the following.
% \Needspace{3\baselineskip}
% \begin{Verbatim}
% l3/
%    l3kernel/
%               build.lua
%               expl3.dtx
%               expl3.ins
%               ...
%               testfiles/
%    l3packages/
%               build.lua
%               xparse/
%                      build.lua
%                      testfiles/
%                      xparse.dtx
%                      xparse.ins
%    support/
% \end{Verbatim}
% For \LaTeX3 build files, |maindir| is defined as top level folder |l3|, so all support files are located here, and the build directories will be created there.
% To set \pkg{l3kernel} as a dependency of \pkg{l3package}, within |l3packages/xparse/build.lua| the equivalent of the following is set:
% \begin{Verbatim}
%   maindir = "../.."
%   checkdeps = {maindir .. "/l3kernel"}
% \end{Verbatim}
% This ensures that the \pkg{l3kernel} code is included in all processes involved in unpacking and checking and so on.
% The name of the script file in the dependency is set with the |scriptname| variable; by default these are |"build.lua"|.
%
% \subsection{Non-standard source layouts}
%
% A variety of source layouts are supported. In general, a \enquote{flat}
% layout with all source files \enquote{here} is most convenient. However,
% \pkg{l3build} supports placement of both code and documentation source
% files in other locations using the \var{sourcefiledir} and \var{docfiledir}
% variables. For pre-built trees, the glob syntax \texttt{**/*.\meta{ext}} may
% be useful in these cases: this enables recursive searching in the appropriate
% tree locations. With the standard settings, this structure will be removed
% when creating a CTAN release: the variable \var{flatten} may be
% used to control this behavior.
%
% A series of example layouts and matching |build.lua| files are available from
% \url{https://github.com/latex3/l3build/tree/master/examples}.
%
% \subsection{Output normalisation}
% \label{sec:norm}
%
% To allow test files to be used between different systems (\emph{e.g.}~when
% multiple developers are involved in a project), the log files are normalised
% before comparison during checking. This removes some system-dependent
% data but also some variations due to different engines. This normalisation
% consists of two parts: removing (\enquote{ignoring}) some lines and modifying
% others to give consistent test. Currently, the following types of line are
% ignored:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item Lines before the \cs{START}, after the \cs{END} and within
%     \cs{OMIT}/\cs{TIMO} blocks
%   \item Entirely blank lines, including those consisting only of spaces.
%   \item Lines containing file dates in format
%    \texttt{\meta{yyyy}/\meta{mm}/\meta{dd}}.
%  \item Lines starting \cs{openin} or \cs{openout}.
% \end{itemize}
% Modifications made in lines are:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item Removal spaces at the start of lines.
%   \item Removal of |./| at start of file names.
%   \item Standardisation of the list of units known to \TeX{} (\pdfTeX{}
%     and \LuaTeX{} add a small number of additional units which are not
%     known to \TeX90 or \XeTeX{}, (u)p\TeX{} adds some additoonal non-standard
%     ones)
%   \item Standardisation of \verb*|\csname\endcsname | to |\csname\endcsname|
%     (the former is formally correct, but the latter was produced for many
%     years due to a \TeX{} bug).
%   \item Conversion of \texttt{on line \meta{number}} to \texttt{on line ...}
%     to allow flexibility in changes to test files.
%   \item Conversion of register numbers in assignment lines
%     \texttt{\cs{\meta{register}}=\cs{\meta{type}}\meta{number}} to
%     \texttt{\cs{\meta{type}}\meta{...}}
%   \item Conversion of box numbers in |\show| lines
%     \texttt{>~\cs{box}\meta{number}=} to \texttt{>~\cs{box}...=}
%   \item Removal of some (u)p\TeX{} data where it is equivalent to
%     \pdfTeX{} (|yoko direction|, |\displace 0.0|)
% \end{itemize}
%
% \LuaTeX{} makes several additional changes to the log file. As normalising
% these may not be desirable in all cases, they are handled separately.
% When creating \LuaTeX{}-specific test files (either with \LuaTeX{} as
% the standard engine or saving a \LuaTeX{}-specific |.tlg| file) no further
% normalisation is undertaken. On the other hand, for cross-engine comparison
% the following normalisation is applied:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item Removal of additional (unused) |\discretionary| points.
%   \item Normalisation of some |\discretionary| data to a \TeX{}90 form.
%   \item Removal of |U+...| notation for missing characters.
%   \item Removal of |display| for display math boxes
%     (included by \TeX90/\pdfTeX{}/\XeTeX).
%   \item Removal of Omega-like |direction TLT| information.
%   \item Removal of additional whatsit containing local paragraph information
%     (|\localinterlinepenalty|, \emph{etc.}).
%   \item Rounding of glue set to four decimal places (glue set may be
%     slightly different in \LuaTeX{} compared to other engines).
%   \item Conversion of low chars ($0$ to $31$) to |^^| notation.
% \end{itemize}
%
% When making comparisons between 8-bit and Unicode engines it is useful to
% format the top half of the 8-bit range such that it appears in the log as
% |^^|\texttt{\meta{char}} (the exact nature of the 8-bit output is otherwise
% dependent on the active code page). This may be controlled using the
% |asciiengines| option. Any engines named here will use a |.tcx| file to
% produce only ASCII chars in the log output, whilst for other engines
% normalisation is carried out from UTF-8 to ASCII. If the option is set to
% an empty table the latter process is skipped: suitable for cases where only
% Unicode engines are in use.
%
% \section{Writing test files}
% \label{sec:writing-tests}
%
% Test files are written in a \TeX{} dialect using the support file |regression-test.tex|, which should be |\input| at the very beginning of each test.
% Additional customisations to this driver can be included in a local |regression-test.cfg| file, which will be loaded automatically if found.
%
% The macros loaded by |regression-test.tex| set up the test system and provide a number of commands to aid the production of a structured test suite.
% The basis of the test suite is to output material into the |.log| file, from which a normalised test output (|.tlg|) file is produced by the build command |save|.
% A number of commands are provided for this; they are all written in uppercase to help avoid possible conflicts with other package commands.
%
% \subsection{Metadata and structural commands}
%
% Any commands that write content to the |.log| file that should be ignored can be surrounded by |\OMIT| \dots\ |\TIMO|.
% At the appropriate location in the document where the |.log| comparisons should start (say, after |\begin{document}|), the test suite must contain the |\START| macro.
% The test should then include \cs{AUTHOR}\marg{authors details} in case a test file fails in the future and needs to be re-analysed.
%
% Some additional diagnostic information can then be included as metadata for the conditions of the test.
% The desired format can be indicated with \cs{FORMAT}\marg{format name}, and any packages or classes loaded can be indicated with
%
% \noindent\hspace*{2\parindent} \cs{CLASS}\oarg{options}\marg{class name, version}\par
% \noindent\hspace*{2\parindent} \cs{PACKAGE}\oarg{options}\marg{package name, version}
%
% \noindent These do not provide information that is useful for automated checking; after all, packages change their version numbers frequently.
% Rather, including this information in a test indicates the conditions under which the test was definitely known to pass at a certain time in the past.
%
% The |\END| command signals the end of the test (but read on).
% Some additional diagnostic information is printed at this time to debug if the test did not complete `properly' in terms of mismatched brace groups or \cs{if}\dots\cs{fi} groups.
%
% In a \LaTeX{} document, |\end{document}| will implicitly call |\END| at the very end of the  compilation process.
% If |\END| is used directly (replacing |\end{document}| in the test), the compilation will halt almost immediately, and various tasks that |\end{document}| usually performs will not occur (such as potentially writing to the various |.toc| files, and so on). This can be an advantage if there is additional material printed to the log file in this stage that you wish to ignore, but it is a disadvantage if the test relies on various auxiliary data for a subsequent typesetting run.
% (See the \var{checkruns} variable for how these tests would be test up.)
%
% \subsection{Commands to help write tests}
%
% A simple command \cs{CHECKCOMMAND}\cs{\meta{macro}} is provided to check whether a particular \cs{\meta{macro}} is defined, undefined, or equivalent to \cs{relax}.
% This is useful to flag either that internal macros are remaining local to their definitions, or that defined commands definitely are defined, or even as a reminder that commands you intend to define in a future package need to be tested once they appear.
%
% \cs{TYPE} is used to write material to the \texttt{.log} file, like \LaTeX's \cs{typeout}, but it allows `long' input.
% The following commands are defined to use \cs{TYPE} to output strings to the \texttt{.log} file.
% \begin{itemize}
% \item
% \cs{SEPARATOR} inserts a long line of \texttt{=} symbols to break up the log output.
% \item
% \cs{NEWLINE} inserts a linebreak into the log file.
% \item
% \cs{TRUE}, \cs{FALSE}, \cs{YES}, \cs{NO} output those strings to the log file.
% \item
% \cs{ERROR} is \emph{not} defined but is commonly used to indicate a code path that should never be reached.
% \item
% The \cs{TEST}\marg{title}\marg{contents} command surrounds its \meta{contents} with some \cs{SEPARATOR}s and a \meta{title}.
% \item
% \cs{TESTEXP} surrounds its contents with \cs{TYPE} and formatting to match \cs{TEST}; this can be used as a shorthand to test expandable commands.
% \item
% TODO: would a \cs{TESTFEXP} command (based on \cs{romannumeral} expansion) be useful as well?
% \item
% \cs{BEGINTEST}\marg{title} \dots \cs{ENDTEST} is an environment form of
% \cs{TEST}, allowing verbatim material, \emph{etc.} to appear.
% \end{itemize}
% An example of some of these commands is shown following.
% \begin{Verbatim}
% \TEST{bool_set,~lazy~evaluation}
%  {
%   \bool_set:Nn \l_tmpa_bool
%    {
%     \int_compare_p:nNn 1=1
%     && \bool_lazy_any_p:n
%      {
%        { \int_compare_p:nNn 2=3 }
%        { \int_compare_p:nNn 4=4 }
%        { \int_compare_p:nNn 1=\ERROR } % is skipped
%      }
%     && \int_compare_p:nNn 2=2
%    }
%   \bool_if:NTF \l_tmpa_bool \TRUE \FALSE
%  }
% \end{Verbatim}
% This test will produce the following in the output.
% \begin{Verbatim}
% ==========================================
% TEST 8: bool_set, lazy evaluation
% ==========================================
% TRUE
% ==========================================
% \end{Verbatim}
% (Only if it's the eighth test in the file of course, and assuming \pkg{expl3}
% coding conventions are active.)
%
% \subsection{Showing box content}
%
% The commands introduced above are only useful for checking algorithmic or logical correctness.
% Many packages should be tested based on their typeset output instead; \TeX{} provides a mechanism for this by printing the contents of a box to the log file.
% The |regression-test.tex| driver file sets up the relevant \TeX{} parameters to produce as much output as possible when showing box output.
%
% A plain \TeX{} example of showing box content follows.
% \begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,fontsize=\small]
% \input regression-test.tex\relax
% \START
% \setbox0=\hbox{\rm hello \it world $a=b+c$}
% \showbox0
% \END
% \end{Verbatim}
% This produces the output shown in Figure~\ref{fig:box-log} (left side).
% It is clear that if the definitions used to typeset the material in the box changes, the log output will differ and the test will no longer pass.
%
% The equivalent test in \LaTeXe{} using \pkg{expl3} is similar.
% \begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,fontsize=\small]
% \input{regression-test.tex}
% \documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{expl3}
% \START
% \ExplSyntaxOn
% \box_new:N \l_tmp_box
% \hbox_set:Nn \l_tmp_box {hello~ \emph{world}~ $a=b+c$}
% \box_show:N \l_tmp_box
% \ExplSyntaxOff
% \END
% \end{Verbatim}
% The output from this test is shown in Figure~\ref{fig:box-log} (right side).
% There is marginal difference (mostly related to font selection and different logging settings in \LaTeX) between the plain and \pkg{expl3} versions.
%
% When examples are not self-contained enough to be typeset into boxes, it is possible to ask \TeX{} to output the entire contents of a page.
% Insert \cs{showoutput} for \LaTeX{} or set \cs{tracingoutput} positive for plain \TeX{}; ensure that the test ends with \cs{newpage} or equivalent because \TeX{} waits until the entire page is finished before outputting it.
%
% TODO: should we add something like \cs{TRACEPAGES} to be format-agnostic here? Should this perhaps even be active by default?
%

%   \label{fig:box-log}
% \end{figure}
%
% \subsection{Testing entire pages}
%
% There may be occasions where creating entire test pages is necessary
% to observe the test output required. That is best achieved by applying
% \cs{showoutput} and forcing a complete page to be produced, for example
% \begin{Verbatim}[frame=single,fontsize=\small]
% \input{regression-test.tex}
% \documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{expl3}
% \START
% \showoutput
% % Test content here
% \vfil\break
% \END
% \end{Verbatim}
%
% \subsection{Additional test tasks}
%
% A standard test will run the file \texttt{\meta{name}.lvt} using one
% or more engines, but will not carry out any additional processing. For
% some tests, for example bibliography generation, it may be desirable to
% call one or more tools in addition to the engine. This can be arranged
% by defining |runtest_tasks|, a function taking one argument, the name
% of the current test (this is equivalent to \TeX{}'s \cs{jobname},
% \emph{i.e.}~it lacks an extension). The function |runtest_tasks|
% is is into a call to the system to run the engine. As such, it
% should take return a string with the appropriate command(s)
% and option(s). If more than one task is required, these should be separated
% by use of |os_concat|, a string variable defined by \pkg{l3build} as the
% correct concatenation marker for the system. An example of |runtest_tasks|
% suitable for calling Biber is shown in Listing~\ref{fig:test-tasks}.
% \begin{figure}
%   \begin{lstlisting}[frame=single,language={[5.2]Lua},gobble = 6]
%     function runtest_tasks(name)
%       return "biber " .. name
%     end
%   \end{lstlisting}
%   \caption{Example \texttt{runtest_tasks} function.}
%   \label{fig:test-tasks}
% \end{figure}
%
% \subsection{Epoch setting}
%
% To produce predictable output when using dates, the test system offers the
% ability to set the epoch to a known value. The \luavar{epoch} variable may
% be given as a raw value (a simple integer) or as a date in ISO format.
% The two flags \luavar{forcecheckepoch} and \luavar{forcedocepoch} then
% determine whether this is applied in testing and typesetting, respectively.
%
% The epoch may also be given as a command line option, |-E|, which again
% takes either a date or raw epoch. When given, this will automatically
% activate forcing of the epoch in both testing and typesetting.
%
% \section{Alternative test formats}
%
% \subsection{Generating test files with \pkg{DocStrip}}
%
% It is  possible to pack tests inside source files. Tests generated during the
% unpacking process will be available to the \texttt{check} and \texttt{save}
% commands as if they were stored in the \texttt{testfiledir}. Any explicit
% test files inside \texttt{testfiledir} take priority over generated ones
% with the same names.
%
% \subsection{Specifying expectations}
%
% Regression tests check whether changes introduced in the code modify the test
% output. Especially while developing a complex package there is not yet a
% baseline to save a test goal with. It might then be easier to formulate the
% expected effects and outputs of tests directly. To achieve this, you may
% create an \texttt{.lve} instead of a \texttt{.tlg}
% file.\footnote{Mnemonic: \texttt{lv\textbf{t}}: \textbf{t}est,
% \texttt{lv\textbf{e}}: \textbf{e}xpectation} It is processed exactly like
% the \texttt{.lvt} to generate the expected outcome. The test fails when both
% differ.
%
% Combining both features enables contrasting the test with its expected
% outcome in a compact format. Listing \ref{fig:expect-dtx} exemplary tests
% \TeX{}s counters. Listing \ref{fig:expect-ins} shows the relevant part of an
% \texttt{.ins} file to generate it.
%
% \begin{figure}
%   \begin{lstlisting}[frame=single,language={TeX},gobble = 6]
%     \input regression-test.tex\relax
%     \START
%     \TEST{counter-math}{
%     %<*test>
%       \OMIT

%   \end{lstlisting}
%   \caption{Test and expectation are generated from a \texttt{.dtx} file of
%     the same name.}
%   \label{fig:expect-ins}
% \end{figure}
%
% \section{Release-focussed features}
%
% \subsection{Automatic tagging}
%
% As detailed above, the |tag| target will automatically edit
% source files to modify date and release tag. As standard, no automatic
% replacement takes place, but setting up a |updae_tag()| function
% will allow this to happen. This takes four arguments:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item The file name
%   \item The full content of the file
%   \item The tag name
%   \item The tag date
% \end{itemize}
% and should return the (modified) contents for writing to disk.
% For example, the function used by |l3build| itself is
% shown in Figure~\ref{fig:update-tag}.
% \begin{figure}
%   \begin{lstlisting}[frame=single,language={[5.2]Lua},gobble = 6]
%     -- Detail how to set the version automatically
%     function update_tag(file,content,tagname,tagdate)
%       if string.match(file, "%.dtx$") then
%         return string.gsub(content,
%           "\n%% \\date{Released %d%d%d%d/%d%d/%d%d}\n",
%           "\n%% \\date{Released " .. tagname .. "}\n")
%       elseif string.match(file, "%.md$") then
%         return string.gsub(content,
%           "\nRelease %d%d%d%d/%d%d/%d%d\n",
%           "\nRelease " .. tagname .. "\n")
%       elseif string.match(file, "%.lua$") then
%         return string.gsub(content,
%           '\nrelease_date = "%d%d%d%d/%d%d/%d%d"\n',
%           '\nrelease_date = "' .. tagname .. '"\n')
%       end
%       return contents
%     end
%   \end{lstlisting}
%   \caption{Example \texttt{update_tag} function.}
%   \label{fig:update-tag}
% \end{figure}
%
% To allow more complex tasks to take place, a hook |tag_hook()| is also
% available. It will receive the tag name and date as arguments, and
% may be used to carry out arbitrary tasks during tagging (for example,
% setting a version control tag for an entire repository).
%
% \subsection{Typesetting documentation}
%
% As part of the overall build process, \pkg{l3build} will create PDF
% documentation as described earlier. The standard build process for PDFs
% will attempt to run Biber, \BibTeX{} and MakeIndex as appropriate
% (the exact binaries used are defined by \luavar{biberexe}, \luavar{bibtexexe}
% and \luavar{makeindexexe}). However, there is no attempt to create an entire
% PDF creation system in the style of \texttt{latexmk} or similar.
%
% For package authors who have more complex requirements than those covered
% by the standard set up, the Lua script offers the possibility for
% customisation. The Lua function \texttt{typeset} may be defined before
% reading \texttt{l3build.lua} and should take one argument, the name of
% the file to be typeset. Within this function, the auxiliary Lua
% functions \texttt{biber}, \texttt{bibtex}, \texttt{makeindex} and
% \texttt{tex} can be used, along with custom code, to define a PDF
% typesetting pathway. The functions \texttt{biber} and \texttt{bibtex}
% take a single argument: the name of the file to work with \emph{minus}
% any extension. The \texttt{tex} takes as an argument the full name
% of the file. The most complex function \texttt{makeindex} requires the
% name, input extension, output extension, log extension and style name.
% For example,  Figure~\ref{fig:PDF} shows a simple script which might
% apply to a case where multiple \BibTeX{} runs are needed (perhaps where
% citations can appear within other references).
%
% Where there are complex requirements for pre-compiled demonstration
% files, the hook |typeset_demo_hook()| is available: it runs after
% copying files to the typesetting location but before the main typesetting
% run. This may be used for example to script a very large number of
% demonstrations using a single source (see the \pkg{beamer} package
% for an example of this).

% \section{Lua interfaces}
%
% Whilst for the majority of users the simple variable-based control methods
% outlined above will suffice, for more advanced applications there will be
% a need to adjust behavior by using interfaces within the Lua code. This
% section details the global variables and functions provided.
%
% \subsection{Global variables}
%
% \begin{variable}{options}
%   The |options| table holds the values passed to \pkg{l3build} at the
%   command line. The possible entries in the table are given in the table
%   below.
%   \begin{center}
%   \begin{tabular}{ll}
%     \toprule
%     Entry & Type \\
%     \midrule
%       \var{date}        & String  \\
%       \var{engine}      & Table   \\
%       \var{force}       & Boolean \\
%       \var{halt}        & Boolean \\
%       \var{help}        & Boolean \\
%       \var{names}       & Table   \\
%       \var{pdf}         & Boolean \\
%       \var{quiet}       & Boolean \\
%       \var{rerun}       & Boolean \\
%       \var{testfiledir} & Table   \\
%       \var{version}     & String  \\
%     \bottomrule
%     \end{tabular}
%   \end{center}
% \end{variable}
%
% \subsection{Utility functions}
%
% The utility functions are largely focussed on file operations, though a small
% number of others are provided. File paths should be given in Unix style
% (using |/| as a path separator). File operations take place relative to the
% path from which \pkg{l3build} is called. File operation syntax is largely
% modelled on Unix command line commands but reflect the need to work on
% Windows in a flexible way.
%
% \begin{function}{abspath()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |abspath(|\meta{target}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Returns a string which gives the absolute location of the
%   \meta{target} directory.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{dirname()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |dirname(|\meta{file}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Returns a string comprising the path to a \meta{file} with the name removed
%   (\emph{i.e.}~up to the last |/|). Where the \meta{file} has no path data,
%   |"."| is returned.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{basename()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |basename(|\meta{file}|)|
%   \end{syntax}

%   path removed (\emph{i.e.}~from the last |/| onward).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{cleandir()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |cleandir(|\meta{dir}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Removes any content within the \meta{dir}; returns an error level.
% \end{function}

%   \end{syntax}
%   Copies files matching the \meta{glob} from the \meta{source} directory
%   to the \meta{destination}; returns an error level.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{direxists()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |direxists(|\meta{dir}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Tests if the \meta{dir} exists; returns a boolean value.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{fileexists()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |fileexists(|\meta{file}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Tests if the \meta{file} exists; returns a boolean value.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{filelist()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |filelist(|\meta{path}, \oarg{glob}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Returns a table containing all of the files with the \meta{path}
%   which match the \meta{glob}; if the latter is absent returns a list of
%   all files in the \meta{path}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{jobname()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |jobname(|\meta{file}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Returns a string comprising the jobname of the file with the
%   path and extension removed (\emph{i.e.}~from the last |/| up to the
%   last |.|).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{mkdir()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |mkdir(|\meta{dir}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates the \meta{dir}; returns an error level.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{ren()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |ren(|\meta{dir}, \meta{source}, \meta{destination}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Renames the \meta{source} file to the \meta{destination} name within
%   the \meta{dir}; returns an error level.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{rm()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |rm(|\meta{dir}, \meta{glob}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Removes files in the \meta{dir} matching the \meta{glob}; returns an
%   error level.
% \end{function}

%   \end{syntax}
%   Executes the \meta{cmd}, starting it in the \meta{dir}; returns an
%   error level.

%
% \begin{function}{splitpath()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |splitpath(|\meta{file}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Returns two strings split at the last |/|: the \texttt{dirname()} and
%   the |basename()|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{normalize_path()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |normalize_path(|\meta{path}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   When called on Windows, returns a string comprising the \meta{path} with
%   |/| characters replaced by |\\|. In other cases returns the path unchanged.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{System-dependent strings}
%
% To support creation of additional functionality, the following low-level
% strings are exposed by \pkg{l3build}: these all have system-dependent
% definitions and avoid the need to test |os.type| during the construction
% of system calls.
%
% \begin{variable}{os_concat}
%   The concatenation operation for using multiple commands in one
%   system call, \emph{e.g.}
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     os.execute("tex " .. file .. os_concat .. "tex " .. file)
%   \end{verbatim}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{os_null}
%   The location to redirect commands which should produce no output
%   at the terminal: almost always used preceded by |>|, \emph{e.g.}
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     os.execute("tex " .. file .. " > " .. os_null)
%   \end{verbatim}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{os_pathsep}
%   The separator used when setting an environment variable to multiple
%   paths, \emph{e.g.}
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     os.execute(os_setenv .. " PATH=../a" .. os_pathsep .. "../b")
%   \end{verbatim}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{os_setenv}
%   The command to set an environmental variable, \emph{e.g.}
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     os.execute(os_setenv .. " PATH=../a")
%   \end{verbatim}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}{os_yes}
%   A command to generate a series of $200$ lines each containing the
%   character |y|: this is useful as the Unix |yes| command cannot be
%   used inside |os.execute| (it does not terminate).
% \end{variable}
%
% \subsection{Components of \texttt{l3build}}
%
% \begin{function}{call()}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     |call(|\meta{dirs}, \meta{target}, \oarg{options}|)|
%   \end{syntax}
%   Runs the \texttt{l3build} \meta{target} (a string) for each directory in the
%   \meta{dirs} (a table). This will pass command line options for the parent
%   script to the child processes. The \meta{options} table should take the
%   same form as the global \meta{options}, described above. If it is
%   absent then the global list is used. Note that any entry for the
%   |target| in this table is ignored.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Customising the manifest file}
% \label{sec:manifest}
%
% The default setup for the manifest file creating with the \texttt{manifest}
% target attempt to reflect the defaults for \pkg{l3build} itself.
% The groups (and hence the files) displayed can be completely
% customised by defining a new setup function which creates a Lua table with
% the appropriate settings (\S\ref{sec:manifest-groups}).
%
% The formatting within the manifest file can be customised by redefining a number
% of Lua functions. This includes
% how the files are sorted within each group (\S\ref{sec:manifest-sorting}),
% the inclusion of one-line descriptions for each file (\S\ref{sec:manifest-desc}),
% and the details of the formatting of each entry (\S\ref{sec:manifest-formatting}).
%
% To perform such customisations, either include the re-definitions directly within your
% package's |build.lua| file, or make a copy of |l3build-manifest-setup.lua|, rename it,
% and load it within your |build.lua| using |dofile()|.
%
%
% \subsubsection{Custom manifest groups}
% \label{sec:manifest-groups}
%
% The setup code for defining each group of files within the manifest looks something like
% the following:
% \begin{verbatim}
% manifest_setup = function()
%   local groups = {
%     {
%        subheading = "Repository files",
%        description = [[
% Files located in the package development repository.
%        ]],
%     },
%     {
%        name    = "Source files",
%        description = [[
% These are source files generating the package files.
%        ]],
%        files   = {sourcefiles},
%     },
%     {
%        name    = "Typeset documentation source files",
%        description = [[
% These files are typeset using LaTeX to produce the PDF documentation for the package.
%        ]],
%        files   = {typesetfiles,typesetsourcefiles,typesetdemofiles},
%     },
%     ...
%   }
%   return groups
% end
% \end{verbatim}
%
% The |groups| variable is an ordered array of tables which contain the metadata about each
% `group' in the manifest listing.
% The keys supported in these tables are outlined in Table~\ref{tab:manifest-setup} and Table~\ref{tab:manifest-subheadings}
% See the complete setup code in |l3build-manifest-setup.lua| for examples of these in use.
%
% \begin{table}
%   \caption{Table entries used in the manifest setup table for a group.}
%   \label{tab:manifest-setup}
%   \centering
%   \begin{tabular}{lp{8cm}}
%     \toprule
%     Entry & Description \\
%     \midrule
%       \var{name}               & The heading of the group                             \\
%       \var{description}        & The description printed below the heading            \\
%       \var{files}              & Files to include in this group                       \\
%       \var{exclude}            & Files to exclude (default |{excludefiles}|)          \\
%       \var{dir}                & The directory to search (default |maindir|)          \\
%       \var{rename}             & An array with a |gsub| redefinition for the filename \\
%       \var{skipfiledescription} & Whether to extract file descriptions from these files (default |false|) \\
%     \bottomrule
%     \end{tabular}
% \end{table}
%
% \begin{table}
%   \caption{Table entries used in the manifest setup table for a subheading.}
%   \label{tab:manifest-subheadings}
%   \centering
%   \begin{tabular}{lp{8cm}}
%     \toprule
%     Entry & Description \\
%     \midrule
%       \var{subheading}         & The subheading                                       \\
%       \var{description}        & The description printed below the subheading         \\
%     \bottomrule
%     \end{tabular}
% \end{table}
%
%
% \subsubsection{Sorting within each manifest group}
% \label{sec:manifest-sorting}
%
% Within a single group in the manifest listing, files can be matched against multiple variables.
% For example, for |sourcefiles={*.dtx,*.ins}| the following (unsorted) file listing might result:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item foo.dtx
% \item bar.dtx
% \item foo.ins
% \item bar.ins
% \end{itemize}
% This listing can be sorted using two separate functions by the default manifest code.
% The first, default, is to sort alphabetically within a single variable match.
% This keeps all files of a single extension contiguous in the listing.
% To edit how this sort is performed, redefine the |manifest_sort_within_match| function.
%
% The second approach to sorting is to apply a sorting function to the entire set of matched files.
% (This happens \emph{after} any sorting is applied for each match.)
% By default this is a no-op but can be edited by redefining the |manifest_sort_within_group|
% function. For example:
% \begin{verbatim}
% manifest_sort_within_group = function(files)
%   local f = files
%   table.sort(f)
%   return f
% end
% \end{verbatim}
% This will produce an alphabetical listing of files:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item bar.dtx
% \item bar.ins
% \item foo.dtx
% \item foo.ins
% \end{itemize}
%
%
% \subsubsection{File descriptions}
% \label{sec:manifest-desc}
%
% By default the manifest contains lists of files, and with a small addition these
% lists can be augmented with a one-line summary of each file.
% If the Lua function |manifest_extract_filedesc| is defined, it will be used to search
% the contents of each file to extract a description for that file.
% For example, perhaps you are using multiple |.dtx| files for a project and the argument
% to the first |\section| in each can be used as a file description:
% \begin{verbatim}
% manifest_extract_filedesc = function(filehandle,filename)
%
%   local all_file = filehandle:read("*all")
%   local matchstr = "\\section{(.-)}"
%
%   filedesc = string.match(all_file,matchstr)
%
%   return filedesc
% end
% \end{verbatim}
% (Note the |matchstr| above is only an example and doesn't handle nested braces.)
%
%
% \subsubsection{Custom formatting}
% \label{sec:manifest-formatting}
%
% After the manifest code has built a complete listing of files to print, a series of
% file writing operations are performed which create the manifest file.
% The following functions can be re-defined to change the formatting of the manifest file:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item |manifest_write_opening|: Write the heading of the manifest file and its opening paragraph.
% \item |manifest_write_subheading|: Write a subheading and description
% \item |manifest_write_group_heading|: Write the section heading of the manifest group and the group description
% \item |manifest_write_group_file|: Write the filename (when not writing file descriptions)
% \item |manifest_write_group_file_descr|: Write the filename and the file description
% \end{itemize}
% Full descriptions of their usage and arguments can be found within the |l3build-manifest-setup.lua|
% code itself.

% To make any PDF file produced comparable we need to suppress various
% pieces of data. This works in concert with setting the epoch from the
% environment side (as not all output can be controlled here). We are
% somewhat stuck if \texttt{dvips} is being used so just hope for the best!
% There is a limit to what can be done with the underlying PDF structure so
% there is no point entirely suppressing \texttt{Producer}: simply avoid
% any version numbers.
