\maketitle
\begin{abstract}\noindent
'monofill.sty' addresses horizontal alignment with plain text
as in the result of \LaTeX's `\listfiles'.
%% 2012/10/30:
In the first instance, it has been developed as the shared
tool to adjust each column with the \ctanpkgref{nicefilelist} package.
%% /2012/10/30
It may also be useful for alignment in typesetting monospaced
characters as in figure tables, for simulating a typewriter,
or for code listings.
v0.2 in fact provides a tool for use with the %% 2012/10/30
\ctanpkgref{hardwrap} package that in turn has been made for console output.
The implementation also has ``philosophical aspects"
in avoiding use of a counter register.
\end{abstract}

\section{Features and Usage}
\subsection{Summary of Features}
A command |\MFfieldtemplate| sets the maximum width of a ``field"
using a template,
with an optional argument for the ``filler" token.
Then |\MFleftinfield| and |\MFrightinfield| types given
(one-line) text and adds ``filler" tokens to the left or right,
until the entire number of tokens es the number of characters
in the associated template. So this is a kind of analogue to
`\settowidth{\mylength}{<template>}',
`\makebox[\mylength][l]{<text>}', and
`\makebox[\mylength][r]{<text>}'
intended for plain text output, without typesetting.
See Sec.~\ref{sec:user} for details.
\subsection{``Philosophical aspects"}
The package also has ``philosophical" aspects: \
1.\enspace Apart from the declaration of the width of a ``field",
everything is \strong{expandable} (thinking of application with 'blog.sty'
of the \ctanpkgref{morehype} bundle) and thus is a kind of
\Wikienref{functional programming}. \
2.\enspace Actually, \strong{no counter} is used,
and we seem to \emph{count without} using the \emph{concept of ``number."}
\
Rather, we \ (a)\enspace just generate a new list from a given one such
that both have the same length and \
(b)\enspace compare the lengths of two lists---both (a) and (b)
without \emph{determining} the length (which would be a \emph{number})
of any list.
\subsection{Installing and Calling}
The file 'monofill.sty' is provided ready, installation only requires
putting it somewhere where \TeX\ finds it
(which may need updating the filename data
base).\urlfoot{ukfaqref}{inst-wlcf} %% corr. 2011/02/08
%% extended 2011/01/14:
Below the `\documentclass' line(s) and above `\begin{document}',
you load 'monofill.sty' (as usually) by
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{monofill}
\end{verbatim}
For certain uses such as with \ctanpkgref{fileinfo},
the package is better loaded by
\begin{verbatim}
\RequirePackage{monofill}
\end{verbatim}
\subsection{Examples}
\subsubsection{Typewriter}
% \MFfieldtemplate{tt}{leftright}
% \MFfieldtemplate[\ ]{tt}{leftright}
% \MFfieldtemplate[~]{tt}{leftright}
% \MFfieldtemplate[X]{tt}{leftright}
With both \[`\MFfieldtemplate[\MFspace]{tt}{leftright}' \]
and \[`\MFfieldtemplate[\MFenspace]{tt}{leftright}'\]
followed by
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{quotation}\tt\noindent
!leftright!\\
!\MFleftinfield{left}{tt}!\\
!\MFrightinfield{right}{tt}!\\
!\MFrightinfield{rightleft}{tt}!
\end{quotation}
\end{verbatim}
I get
% \MFfieldtemplate[\MFspace]{tt}{leftright}
\MFfieldtemplate[\MFenspace]{tt}{leftright}
% \MFfieldtemplate[\MFotherspace]{tt}{leftright}
%% <- works to
% \MFfieldtemplate[\enspace]{tt}{leftright}
% \MFfieldtemplate[\kern.5em ]{tt}{leftright}
% \renewcommand*{\MFfillelement}{\kern.5em }
% \renewcommand*{\MFfillelement}{\hphantom\enspace}
\begin{quotation}\tt\noindent
% \enspace leftright\\
!leftright!\\
!\MFleftinfield{left}{tt}!\\
!\MFrightinfield{right}{tt}!\\
!\MFrightinfield{rightleft}{tt}!
% \enspace \MFrightinfield{rightleft}{tt}
\end{quotation}
\subsubsection{Figures}
Similarly, with
`\MFfieldtemplate[\MFenspace]{figs}{0000}'
and
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{quote}\noindent
\MFrightinfield{1}{figs} is one,\\
\MFrightinfield{10}{figs} is ten,\\
\MFrightinfield{100}{figs} is hundred,\\
\MFrightinfield{1000}{figs} is thousand.
\end{quote}
\end{verbatim}
I get
\MFfieldtemplate[\MFenspace]{figs}{0000}
\begin{quote}\noindent
\MFrightinfield{1}{figs} is one,\\
\MFrightinfield{10}{figs} is ten,\\
\MFrightinfield{100}{figs} is hundred,\\
\MFrightinfield{1000}{figs} is thousand.
\end{quote}
\subsubsection{Screen Output}
Finally, try
\begin{verbatim}
\MFfieldtemplate{screen}{0000}
\typeout{\MFrightinfield{1}{screen} is one,}
\typeout{\MFrightinfield{10}{screen} is ten,}
\typeout{\MFrightinfield{100}{screen} is hundred,}
\typeout{\MFrightinfield{1000}{screen} is thousand.}
\typein{OK?}
\end{verbatim}
It works, believe me.
% \MFfieldtemplate{screen}{0000}
% \typeout{\MFrightinfield{1}{screen} is one,}
% \typeout{\MFrightinfield{10}{screen} is ten,}
% \typeout{\MFrightinfield{100}{screen} is hundred,}
% \typeout{\MFrightinfield{1000}{screen} is thousand.}
% \typein{OK?}
% \pagebreak
% \section{Implementation}
\section{Package File Header (Legalese)} %% was ize 2012/09/30
\input{monofill.doc}
\section{Credit}
The package actually is motivated by good ideas of
\ctanpkgauref{muench-hm}{Martin M\"unch}'s about
extending the \ctanpkgref{longnamefilelist} package.
