% a large collection of simple ``little helpers'' which  do not really warrant a
% separate package on their own.
% 
% Included are, among other things, definitions of common units with preceeding
% thinspaces and optionally following space, framed boxes where both width and
% height can be specified, starting new odd or even pages, draft markers, notes,
% conditional includes, including EPS files, and versions of enumerate and
% itemize which allow the horizontal and vertical spacing to be changed.

%
% \section{Introduction}
%
% This package is a collection of helpful short macros which are not related to
% each other.
% 
% Most of these macros are generally useful, but some will be useful to only a
% few people, if at all.  They are combined here because any document I write
% uses at least some of them.
% 
% The first version of this package dates back to 1994, and combined bits and
% pieces from older \LaTeX2.09 packages into this one. This package was made
% specifically for \LaTeXe.
%
%
%
% \section{User Manual}
%
%
% \subsection{Units}
%
% A selection of units is defined. Because the names are short and could easily
% clash with something else, units are only defined when the respective package
% option is used. All defined units have the thinspace between the
% number and the unit already included, so '|123\cm|' gives '123\,cm'.
% 
% The units defined by \option{unitBasic} redefine existing control sequences.
% 
% A degree symbol and commands for degree celsius and fahrenheit are provided.
% Because |\degree| clashes with many thesis packages, \package{lhelp} will
% define both |\degree| and |\Degree| to be the degree symbol (superscript
% circle), if they are not defined already by the time \package{lhelp} is
% loaded. Either way, |\celsius| and |\fahren| will work.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\muunit}
% |\muunit| produces just the micro ($\mu$) part of the unit and includes the
% thinspace. If |\textmu| is defined (by e.g.\ \package{textcomp}), it will be
% used instead of |$\mu$|.
%
% \DescribeOption{unitxspace}
% With package option \option{unitxspace}, all defined units are followed by an
% |\xspace|, which automatically insert white space if the unit is not followed
% by punctuation. E.g. '|is 23\m long|' becomes 'is 23\,m\ long' instead of 'is
% 23\,mlong'. See the |xspace| package for details.

%
% Package option \option{units}: all of the above.
% 
%
% \subsection{Paragraph and page layout}
% 
% \DescribeOption{page}
% \DescribeOption{emptypage}
% \DescribeWord{vmargin}
% Package option \option{page} sets a zero |\parindent| and a non-zero
% |\parskip|. Option \option{emptypage} also selects pagestyle empty. If package
% \package{vmargin} was loaded before package \package{lhelp}, both options also
% set the paper size to A4 and the margins to some more useful values.
%
%
% \subsection{Draft markers}
% 
% \DescribeOption{draftmark}
% Package option \option{draftmark} selects pagestyle plain and changes the page
% footer to include the current date and the text ``DRAFT''. This works with the
% standard pagestyles empty (which is not empty then), plain, and headings. It
% obviously does not work with any custom pagestyles. This option does not
% affect the page header.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\draftname}
% |\draftname| produces the ``DRAFT'' text.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\draftfont}
% |\draftfont| switches to the font with which the draft text is printed. It
% takes one argument: the text to typeset in draft font.
%
% \DescribeOption{draftmarkps}
% \DescribeMacro{\putdraftmarkps}
% Same as option \option{draftmark}, but also writes a big ``DRAFT'' in gray
% across the page.
% Required are the \package{color} package, and either the  \package{graphics}
% or \package{graphicx} package.
% Packages \package{color} and \package{graphics} are loaded if necessary.
% To load these packages with options, load them before \package{lhelp}.
% It works with page styles empty, plain, and headings.
% The page header is changed.
% This uses a PostScript font (font family phv), so may require a PostScript
% output device.
% The actual mark is placed with |\putdraftmarkps|, which may have to be
% redefined to accomodate a different |\draftname|. Its original definition can
% be found via the index in the code section of this manual.
% 
% \DescribeOption{draftmarkpsonly}
% Same as option \option{draftmarkps}, but only writes a big ``DRAFT'' in gray
% across the page. I.e., it doesn't change the footer.
% 
% \subsection{Shortcuts and Symbols}
% 
% \DescribeOption{refshortcuts}
% Package option \option{refshortcuts} defines several shortcuts for
% cross-referencing chapter, tables, etc. This is currently only really useful
% for English. Usage is the same as for |\ref|, except that ``chapter'' etc.\ is
% also printed. Those shortcuts starting with an uppercase letter print a word
% with an uppercase first letter.
% 
% For chapter, section, appendix, figure, table:
% |\cref|,
% |\Cref|,
% |\sref|,
% |\Sref|,
% |\aref|,
% |\Aref|,
% |\fref|,
% |\Fref|,
% |\tref|,
% |\Tref|
%
% For pages:
% |\pgref|,
% |\Pgref|
%
% For photos\footnote
%     {(e.g. with the \package{photo} package, also by Volker Kuhlmann,
%     available from CTAN)}:
% |\phref|,
% |\Phref|
%
% Examples: \examplepar\\
% |\sref{s:mylabel}| produces |section~\ref{s:mylabel}|,\\
% |\pgref{somepage}| produces |page~\pageref{somepage}|,\\
% |\phref{p:photo1}| produces |photo~\ref{p:photo1}|,\\
% |\Aref{s:a1}| produces |Appendix~\ref{s:a1}|.
% 
% 
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\lineout}
% \DescribeMacro{\ul}
% \DescribeMacro{\ulbf}
% Text with attributes. The text is taken as argument by these macros, and can't
% be broken across lines. If it is necessary to break text into lines, try
% Donald Arseneau's package \package{ulem}.
%
% \tableindent
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
%     |\ulbf{|\meta{text}|}|  &\ulbf{underlined bold}\\
%     |\ul{|\meta{text}|}|    &\ul{underlined}\\
%     |\lineout{|\meta{text}|}| &\lineout{lined out}\\
% \end{tabular}
%
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\textsubscript}
% More shortcuts.
% \LaTeX provides a |\textsuperscript|, but no |\textsubscript|, so we make one
% here. |\textsubscript| is robust, and only defined by \package{lhelp} if it
% is not already defined, in case \LaTeX\ does provide it in a future version.
%
% \tableindent
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
%     |\bs|, |\texttt{\bs}|   &\bs, \texttt{\bs}\\
%     |\careof|               &\careof\ (the following space is included)\\
%     |\textsubscript{|\meta{subscript}|}|  &Text\textsubscript{subscript}\\
% \end{tabular}
%
% \noindent
% These symbols produce the same result in text and math mode:\\
% \tableindent
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
%     |\larr|                 &\larr\\
%     |\rarr|                 &\rarr\\
%     |\PP|                   &\PP\\
%     |\MM|                   &\MM\\
%     |\PM|                   &\PM\\
%     |\about|                &\about\\
% \end{tabular}
% 
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\eg}
% \DescribeMacro{\ie}
% \DescribeMacro{\etc}
% \DescribeMacro{\ca}
% \DescribeMacro{\resp}
% These macros produce the English abbreviations ``e.g.'', ``i.e.'', and
% ``etc.'', including the following normal space. This is for those (like
% me) who always forget the backslash after the second period and thus get a
% sentence-ending space with |\frenchspacing|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\diameter}
% This is a bad excuse for a diameter symbol. When the AMS symbols are available
% (package \package{amssymb}), their |\varnothing| symbol will be used instead,
% which is an acceptable solution.\\
% \newcommand\diacludge{\mbox{\raise.15ex\hbox{o}\kern-.5em/}}%^^A
% \newcommand\diaams{$\csname varnothing\endcsname$}%^^A
% \tableindent
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
%     |\diameter|             &\diacludge\\
%     |\diameter|             &\diaams\ (with package \package{amssymb};
%                              else nothing shown here)\\
% \end{tabular}
% 
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\Discuss}
% \DescribeMacro{\Edit}
% \DescribeMacro{\Mark}
% Put some obvious markers into the text, as a reminder that changes to the text
% are necessary before publication.\\
% \tableindent
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
%     |\Discuss|              &\Discuss\\
%     |\Edit|                 &\Edit\\
%     |\Mark|                 &\Mark\\
% \end{tabular}
%
% 
% \subsection{Boxes and rules}
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\fparbox}
% A framed |\parbox|. The text material is set in paragraph mode, not LR-mode.
% Unlike |\fbox{\parbox{\columnwidth}{...}}|, the width of the box generated by
% |\fparbox| including the frame is \meta{width}. The default for \meta{width}
% is |\hsize|. |\fboxrule| and |\fboxsep| are used as for |\fbox|.
% 
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\fparbox|\optmeta{width}|(|\meta{parbox-optargs}|){|\meta{text}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
%
% \meta{parbox-optargs} are the optional arguments to |\parbox|, namely\\
% |[POS][HEIGHT][INNER-POS]|.
% 
% Examples:
% \par\vskip-\parskip\exampleindent
% \begin{minipage}{60mm}
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \fparbox{text...}

% \vskip 1.5ex
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\xyfparbox}
% Draws a framed box with \meta{text} in it. \meta{text} is set in a |\parbox|.
% The outside of the frame has a size of \meta{width} times \meta{height}.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%    |\xyfparbox|\optmeta{pos}%^^A
%       |{|\meta{width}|}{|\meta{height}|}{|\meta{text}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% The optional argument \meta{pos} becomes the first optional argument to
% |\parbox| and defaults to |c|. |\parbox|'s \meta{inner-pos} is set to |c|.
% |\fboxrule| and |\fboxsep| are used as for |\fbox|.
% 
% Example:\\
% \exampleindent
% \xyfparbox{60mm}{12mm}{\ttfamily \bs xyfparbox\{60mm\}\{12mm\}\{...\}}
% \vskip 1.5ex
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\tlap}
% \DescribeMacro{\blap}
% Similar to plain's |\llap| and |\rlap|, the following overlapping boxes are
% provided. All of these boxes have a size of zero. Their content overlaps into
% adjacent page areas. Horizontal overlap uses |\hbox|, vertical overlap uses
% |\vbox|.
% 
% \tableindent
% \begin{tabular}{ll}
%     |\lrlap|    &left and right (i.e. horizontally centred)\\
%     |\tlap|     &top\\
%     |\blap|     &bottom\\
%     |\tblap|    &top and bottom (i.e. vertically centred)\\
%     |\rtlap|    &right and top\\
%     |\rblap|    &right and bottom\\
% \end{tabular}
% 
% 
% The following macros are useful for creating fill-in type forms.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\vnull}
% In analogy to |\null|: an empty |\vbox|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\vnul}
% An empty |\vbox| right at the top edge of the page. This uses
% |\offinterlineskip| (and its own level of grouping).
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\hrulenull}
% An |\hrule| with zero dimensions.
%
% 
% \subsection{Notes}
% 
% \DescribeOption{printnotes}
% Package option \option{printnotes}: print all notes in the document. The
% default is not to.
%
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\notes{|\meta{anytext}|}|\\
%     |\nnotes{|\meta{anytext}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\notes}
% \DescribeMacro{\nnotes}
% |\notes| prints \meta{anytext} if package option \option{printnotes} was
% given, and discards \meta{anytext} otherwise.
% |\nnotes| always discards \meta{anytext}; instead of deleting any notes you
% never want printed, rename |\notes| to |\nnotes|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\notesfont}
% If any notes are printed, they are printed in |\notesfont|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\bnotemark}
% \DescribeMacro{\enotemark}
% Printed notes are surrounded by a begin and an end mark which are printed into
% the margin. These marks are generated by |\bnotemark| and |\enotemark|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ifprintnotes}
% The conditional used to decide whether notes are printed is |\ifprintnotes|.
% It can be used like |\ifprintnotes ... \fi|.
%
% 
% \subsection{Conditional includes}
% 
% The conditional including macros provided here use an ``include level'' to
% decide whether something is to be included or not. This is more powerful than
% a binary include switch, and for example allows all xfig figures to be
% included while no graphical images are. Graphical images are a common cause
% for exploding file sizes and much increased processing times. For larger
% documents the time saved while preparing can be considerable. For the final
% document this is then simply turned off.
% 
% \DescribeWord{excludelevel}
% \DescribeMacro{\includelower}
% The counter |excludelevel| is the document's threshold for whether something
% is included or not. The default is 5.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\includelower{|\meta{includelevel}|}{|\meta{yes}|}{|\meta{no}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% |\includelower| expands to \meta{yes} if \meta{includelevel} is lower than
% the counter |excludelevel|, otherwise it expands to \meta{no}.
% 
% Example:
% \exampleindent
% \begin{verbatim}
%     \documentclass ...
%     \usepackage{lhelp}
%     \setcounter{excludelevel}{2}
%     \begin{document}
%     \includelower{1}{\input{some-xfig-figure.latex}}{}
%     \includelower{2}{\includegraphics{some-image.eps}}{}
% \end{verbatim}\fixendverbatim
% Will include the xfig figure but not the eps image.
% 
% Set |excludelevel| to a number larger than the largest \meta{includelevel}
% used to include everything.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\ifinclude}
% An alternative to |\includelower| is
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\ifinclude{|\meta{includelevel}|}| \ldots\ |\else| \ldots\ |\fi|
% \end{pckcmd}
% |\ifinclude{|\meta{includelevel}|}| expands to |\iftrue| if
% \meta{includelevel} is lower than the counter |excludelevel|, and |\iffalse|
% otherwise.
% 
% 
% \subsection{Including EPS files}
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\placeEPS}
% This macro helps with inserting EPS files into the document, reducing the
% amount of typing required for the common case. In draft mode (see package
% option \option{epsdraft} below) only an outline of the EPS is drawn. Missing
% files will not produce an error, only a warning is written on the screen.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%    |\placeEPS|\optmeta{moreargs}%^^A
%       |{|\meta{width}|}{|\meta{height}|}{|\meta{filename}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
%
% Inserts encapsulated postsript file \meta{filename} into the text with width
% \meta{width} and height \meta{height}. \meta{width} and/or \meta{height} may
% be empty; default is natural size. \meta{moreargs} is anything that is allowed
% as argument to |\includegraphics| (\package{graphicx} version), e.g. bounding
% boxes---see the \package{graphicx} documentation.
% 
% The standard \package{graphicx} package is required, and must be loaded by the
% user (\package{lhelp} does not load it). Unfortunately, \package{graphics} is
% not sufficient, so that a document using |\placeEPS| must use the
% \package{graphicx} package.
% 
% If \meta{filename} does not exist, an empty framed box with the given
% dimensions is drawn with the name of the file in it; if any of \meta{width}
% and \meta{height} are empty the default for \meta{width} is |.8\hsize|, and
% for \meta{height} is |40mm|.
%
% In short, the advantages of |\placeEPS| over |\includegraphics| are:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item \ldots
% \end{itemize}
%
% Example:\\
%   \exampleindent
%   |\placeEPS[bb=20 20 500 500,width=6cm]{}{5cm}{figure1}|\\
% sets the bounding box to 20 20 500 500, and scales figure1.eps to a width of
% 6\,cm and a height of 5\,cm.
% The same could have been achieved with\\
%   \exampleindent
%   |\placeEPS[bb=20 20 500 500]{6cm}{5cm}{figure1}|
%
% \DescribeMacro{\addEPSopt}
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\addEPSopt{|\meta{options}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% |\addEPSopt| adds the given comma-separated \meta{options} to the internal
% option list for |\placeEPS|, so that these options do not need to be repeated
% with each |\placeEPS|. |\placeEPS| always passes the internal option list on
% to |\includegraphics|.
%
% \DescribeOption{epsdraft}
% With package option \option{epsdraft}, a draft keyword is inserted into every
% |\placeEPS| to get only an outline-box of the eps (same as package option
% \option{draft} for the \package{graphics} package).
%
% \DescribeOption{epspdf}
% \DescribeMacro{\EPSfileext}
% The package option \option{epspdf} sets |\EPSfileext| to \url{.eps}, or
% \url{.pdf} when running under pdflatex. |\EPSfileext| is appended to the
% filename by |\placeEPS|. This makes it possible to use |\placeEPS| in
% documents which are compiled with either latex or pdflatex. The default for
% |\EPSfileext| is empty, for compatibility with existing documents.
%
%
% \subsection{List environments and aides}
%
% The following macros extend the functionality of the existing list
% environments \env{list}, \env{itemize}, and \env{enumerate}.
% 
% First a few macros which set the spacing of a list environment. They are only
% useful inside the second argument of the \env{list} environment, which is used
% for setting various spacing-related variables.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\listlabelleft}
% Sets the horizontal spacing, and the label raggedright.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\listlabelleft{|\meta{labelindent}|}{|\meta{labelwidth}|}{|%^^A
%        \meta{labelsep}|}{|\meta{rightmargin}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% \meta{labelindent} is
% the distance from the left edge of the surrounding text to the left edge of
% the label, \meta{labelwidth} the width of the label, \meta{labelsep} the
% distance between the label and the left edge of the list-text, and
% \meta{rightmargin} the distance between the right edge of the list-text and
% the right edge of the surrounding text.
% 
% \meta{labelindent}, \meta{labelwidth}, \meta{labelsep}, the width of the
% list-text and \meta{rightmargin} added together make up |\columnwidth|. I find
% this much more user-friendly than the way \LaTeX\ measures the horizontal
% dimensions in the \env{list} environment.
% |\listparindent| is set to zero.
% Currently, |\itemindent| is unchanged but \LaTeX's default is zero.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\listlabelleftindent}
% Some hard-coded values:
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\listlabelleftindent{|\meta{labelwidth}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% Short for |\listlabelleft{1.5em}{|\meta{labelwidth}|}{1.5em}{4.5em}|.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\listshort}
% |\listshort| sets all vertical spacing to zero: |\topsep|, |\partopsep|,
% |\itemsep| and |\parsep|. Useful for lists which are not intended to stand out
% as prominently as \LaTeX's default.
% 
% 
% \DescribeEnv{Eenumerate}
% \DescribeEnv{Eitemize}
% Extend the \env{enumerate} and \env{itemize} environments such that the list
% spacing can be user-controlled.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\begin{Eenumerate}{|\meta{formatting for list}|}|\\
%     |\begin{Eitemize}{|\meta{formatting for list}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% When \env{enumerate} and \env{itemize} call the \env{list} environment,
% \meta{formatting for list} is inserted into the second argument of the
% \env{list} environment to allow changing any of the spacing.
% These can be mixed with \env{enumerate} and \env{itemize}.
%
% \DescribeEnv{enumerateshort}
% \DescribeEnv{itemizeshort}
% As the \env{enumerate} and \env{itemize} environments, but with reduced
% vertical spacing.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\begin{enumerateshort}|\\
%     |\begin{itemizeshort}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% These can be mixed with \env{enumerate} and \env{itemize}.
% 
% 
% \subsection{Starting new pages}
% 
% This macros start new pages in a variety of ways.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\newoddpage}
% \DescribeMacro{\newevenpage}
% |\newoddpage| starts a new odd page and |\newevenpage| starts a new even page,
% creating a blank page if necessary. The behaviour is always the same,
% regardless whether the document is double-sided (i.e. |\twoside| is in effect)
% or not.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\clearoddpage}
% \DescribeMacro{\clearevenpage}
% |\clearoddpage| and |\clearevenpage| are the same as |\newoddpage| and
% |\newevenpage|, except they call |\clearpage| first, causing all unprocessed
% floats to be written out.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\newoddpage*}
% \DescribeMacro{\newevenpage*}
% The star-form of these commands will always advance to the next odd/even page,
% creating blank pages if necessary, even if the current page is odd/even and
% empty. This means that they can be used repeatedly in immediate succession:
% |\newoddpage*||\newoddpage*| starts an odd page and leaves another 2 blank
% pages.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\clearthispage}
% |\clearthispage| writes out all unprocessed floats, and starts a new page
% regardless of whether the current page is empty.
% 
% Currently none of these macros allow to change the pagestyle of any blank
% pages which are generated (for example to empty when the document's pagestyle
% is plain).
% 
% There could be problems with page number references after |\new...|. It might
% pay to check |\pageref|'s after any of |\new...|.
% 
% 
% \subsection{One and two columns}
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\ensureonecolumn}
% \DescribeMacro{\ensuretwocolumn}
% \DescribeMacro{\ensurecolumnend}
% Ensure one or two columns for a part of a document, regardless
% whether the rest of the document is in one or two columns. Every
% |\ensureonecolumn|, or |\ensuretwocolumn| must be ended by
% |\ensurecolumnend|.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\ensureonecolumn|\\
%     |\ensuretwocolumn|\\
%     |\ensurecolumnend|
% \end{pckcmd}
% 
% If nesting is required, the environment form must be used:
% \begin{verbatim}
%     ... text in one or two columns ...
%     \begin{ensureonecolumn}
%        ... text in one column ...
%        \begin{ensuretwocolumn}
%        ... text in two columns ...
%        \end{ensuretwocolumn}
%        ... text back in one column ...
%     \end{ensureonecolumn}
%     ... text in one or two columns again ...
% \end{verbatim}\fixendverbatim
% 
% 
% \subsection{Hanging indentation}
% \label{s:hanghere}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\hanghere}
% The macro |\hanghere| causes a hanging indentation for the rest of the
% paragraph, from the actual horizontal position of the |\hanghere|.
% 
% \emph{NOTE: The code for \texttt{\string\absval} and
% \texttt{\string\hangindent} is not covered by the copyright of the
% \package{lhelp} package, and, as published by its author, remains without
% copyright.}
% 
% Here is the documentation of |\hanghere|, as published on the newsgroup
% \url{comp.text.tex}:
% 
% \begin{verbatim}
% -- Donald Arseneau (1993)  (Not copyright, not supported)
%    asnd@reg.triumf.ca
%
% This is a style file that can be used in both LaTeX and plain TeX.
% To use, put \hanghere in the middle of a paragraph and the rest of 
%             the paragraph will be indented to the spot so indicated.
%             Spaces are retained on both sides of \hanghere, but if
%                                                  you want a space 
%                                                  afterwards, you 
%                                                  should type \hanghere\ 
% or \hanghere{} .  There is a length parameter, \minlinelen, that sets
%    a minimum length for the lines of text.  If the position of \hanghere
% would cause the line length to be too small, the following lines will
% start at the left margin, as illustrated twice just above. Multiple
% uses of \hanghere in a paragraph are cumulative, until the line length
%         gets too short and reverts to the full text width.  There are
%         no parboxes used so line spacing and page breaking is normal.
%         There is one problem: if some text on the first line following
%         the \hanghere is very tall, it can overlap the text above 
%             instead of doing the line spacing properly.  Other instances
%             of tall text work fine.
% \end{verbatim}\fixendverbatim
%
% \DescribeMacro{\absval}
% The |\absval| macro is used by |\hanghere|, but is generally useful. It
% returns the ``absolute value of a number or a dimension (if in a dimension
% register)''.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\labelhangindent}
% Hanging indentation with the width of the printed label.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\labelhangindent{|\meta{label}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% This prints \meta{label} and starts a hanging indentation.
% The hanging indentation remains for all paragraphs in the current group.
% Because this does not insert any horizontal space after the label, it is
% probably a good idea to insert a \verb*'\ ' as part of the label.
% |\labelhangindent| uses |\everypar|.
% So far, |\labelhangindent| is not cumulative, i.e. only one can be used in a
% paragraph.
%
%
% \subsection{Misc}
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\gobble}
% \DescribeMacro{\gobbletwo}
% These macros simply discard their argument(s).
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\gobble{|\meta{anything}|}|\\
%     |\gobbletwo{|\meta{anything}|}{|\meta{anythingelse}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
%
%
% \DescribeOption{ddmonthyyyy}
% \DescribeMacro{\ddmonthyyyy}
% Package option \option{ddmonthyyyy} switches |\today|'s date format to a more
% user-friendly (and non-American) ``dd Month yyyy''. Regardless of what
% |\today| happens to be defined as, |\ddmonthyyyy| gives a format of
% \ddmonthyyyy.
%
%
% \DescribeOption{yyyymmdd}
% \DescribeMacro{\yyyymmdd}
% Package option \option{yyyymmdd} switches |\today|'s date format to
% ``yyyy/mm/dd''. Regardless of what |\today| happens to be defined as,
% |\yyyymmdd| gives a format of \yyyymmdd.
%
%
% \DescribeOption{hh:mm}
% \DescribeMacro{\timehhmm}
% \DescribeMacro{\todayaddtime}
% The current time is put into |\timehhmm| formatted as HH:MM with leading 0.
% Package option \option{hh:mm} appends |\timehhmm| to whatever |\today| is
% defined as, at the beginning of the document. Order of options is
% important---\option{yyyymmdd} for example redefines |\today|, so an appended
% time would be lost. |\todayaddtime| appends the time to the definition of
% |\today|, which is useful if something else has redefined |\today|.
% 
% 
% \DescribeOption{morefontsizes}
% Package option \option{morefontsizes} defines the additional font sizes
% |\HUGE|, |\veryhuge|, |\veryHuge|, and |\veryHUGE|, which is sometimes useful
% for posters, or very large headings. It should look ok with PostScript fonts,
% and perhaps computer modern fonts. It is recommended to use this with the
% type-1 version of the computer modern fonts, or metafont might create some
% humungous bitmap fonts.
%
%
% \DescribeOption{verbose}
% Package option \option{verbose} causes some commands to print some
% output which might be useful sometimes. Currently only |\placeEPS| makes use
% of it.
%
%
% \DescribeOption{shorttoc}
% For documents with a zero |\parindent| and a non-zero |\parskip|,
% |\tableofcontents| generates fairly useless output.  Package option
% \option{shorttoc} restores the previous behaviour for the table of contents.
%
%
% \DescribeOption{countryselect}
% \DescribeMacro{\selectD}
% \DescribeMacro{\selectNZ}
% \DescribeMacro{\selectUK}
% \DescribeMacro{\selectUSA}
% These macros are meant to provide a standardised way for selecting
% country-specific settings, i.e.\ hyphenation patterns and 
% specific language definitions. Theoretically, the \package{babel}
% package should offer this, but it doesn't---the name for a particular country
% depends on the name entered into \package{babel}'s configuration file, for
% which there is no standard. Package option \option{countryselect} defines
% known names for selecting settings of a specific country.
% Because using the hyphenation patterns of a language is desirable even
% without the language-specific macro definitions, these commands now select
% the hyphenation patterns when available, even if babel is not used by the
% document. If babel is used, a |\selectlanguage| command is issued.
% 
% Currently only \package{babel} is supported as underlaying language-switching
% mechanism. Clearly this also calls for an \package{lhelp} configuration file,
% matching the entries in \package{babel}'s.
% 
% So far, |\selectD|, |\selectNZ|, |\selectUK|, |\selectUSA| are
% defined for Germany, New Zealand, the UK, and the USA.
% 
% 
% \DescribeEnv{narrowpars}
% The narrowpars environment temporarily narrows the width of the text body,
% respectively increases the left and right margins.
% \begin{pckcmd}
%     |\begin{narrowpars}{|\meta{indentation}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% Paragraphs are narrowed by \meta{indentation} on the left and
% \meta{indentation} on the right.
% It uses |\everypar|, |\hangindent| and |\hangafter|, and changes
% |\columnwidth| and |\hsize|.
% 
% It would have been possible to achieve the same effect by using |\leftskip|
% and |\rightskip|, but either will fail in some cases. Perhaps a narrowpars$*$
% environment should use these?
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\thinthinspace}
% Approximately half a thinspace. A quarterspace?
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setTBstruts}
% \DescribeMacro{\T}
% \DescribeMacro{\B}
% In tables created with tabular and array which use horizontal lines, there is
% often too little space between the text of a line and the adjacent horizontal
% lines. |\setTBstruts| defines two macros, |\T| and |\B|, which fine-tune the
% vertical spacing on these lines.
% Example:
%
% \begin{minipage}[t]{.38\textwidth}
% \vspace{-2ex}
% \begin{verbatim}
%     text ...\par
%     \setTBstruts
%     \begin{tabular}{ll}
%         \hline\T
%             cell$^2$ & cell\\
%             cell$_3$ & cell \B\\
%         \hline\T
%             cell & cell \B\\
%         \hline
%     \end{tabular}\par
%     text ...
% \end{verbatim}%^^A\fixendverbatim
% \end{minipage}\hspace{8mm}
% \begin{minipage}[t]{.2\textwidth}
%     With |\T| and |\B|:\\[1ex]
%     text ...\par
%     \setTBstruts
%     \begin{tabular}{ll}
%         \hline\T
%             cell$^2$ & cell\\
%             cell$_3$ & cell \B\\
%         \hline\T
%             cell & cell \B\\
%         \hline
%     \end{tabular}\par
%     text ...
% \end{minipage}\hspace{8mm}
% \begin{minipage}[t]{.15\textwidth}
%     Without:\\[1ex]
%     text ...\par
%     \begin{tabular}{ll}
%         \hline
%             cell$^2$ & cell\\
%             cell$_3$ & cell\\
%         \hline
%             cell & cell\\
%         \hline
%     \end{tabular}\par
%     text ...
% \end{minipage}
%
% (Taken from "TeX and TUG NEWS", Vol. 2, No. 3, 1993, p. 10.)
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\placepos}
% This macro can place anything at an arbitrary position onto the page, without
% shifting the current position (as much that is possible).
% \begin{pckcmd}
%	|\placepos{|\meta{right}|}{|\meta{down}|}{|\meta{text}|}|
% \end{pckcmd}
% Places \meta{text} (in LR mode) a distance of \meta{right} to the right and
% \meta{down} down from the current position. \meta{right}, \meta{down} can be
% negative.
%
% |\placepos{..}| has zero size and is equivalent to |\hbox{}|, which is the
% same as |\mbox{}| without the |\leavevmode|. This means that |\placepos|,
% unlike |\mbox|, will never start a paragraph. Although |\placepos| has zero
% size, placing an |\hbox| can have effects on spacing in some circumstances.
% If |\placepos| is at the beginning of a paragraph of text, it 
% might be necessary to use a |\leavevmode| before the first |\placepos|.
%
% To include paragraph material in \meta{text}, use
% |\parbox{|\meta{width}|}{|\meta{text}|}| as \meta{text}.
%
% Spaces following |\placepos| are ignored.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\PSadjust}
% Some older versions of the PostScript fonts had such a tight horizontal
% spacing that they could essentially not hyphenate a word. As a temporary
% solution it was suggested to change some line breaking parameters. Putting
% |\PSadjust| into the preamble will do this.
% Current versions of the PostScript fonts (from CTAN) don't need this.
