% \section{Introduction}
%
% The purpose of this package is to decrease the number of keystrokes needed to
% typeset small amounts of aligned material (matrices, arrays, etc.).  For
% instance, it is inconvenient to type (using the \textsf{amsmath} package)
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \begin{matrix}
%          1 & 12 & -3 \\
%         24 & -2 &  2 \\
%          0 &  0 &  1
%       \end{matrix} \]\end{verbatim}
% in a document where several hundred such
% matrices must  be typeset.  Of course
% one can always define a macro |\mat| which puts its argument inside a
% |matrix| environment, but it is still necessary to type the align character
% |&| and the end-of-row control sequence |\\| many times for each matrix.
%
% This package provides a facility for typesetting matrices, and using other
% alignment environments and macros, with spaces as the
% alignment delimiter and semicolons (by default) as the end-of-row indicator.  So
% the above matrix could be produced using the command:
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignmat{1 12 -3; 24 -2 2; 0 0 1} \]\end{verbatim}
% This package also contains utility macros for typesetting augmented matrices,
% vectors, arrays, and more, and is easily extendable to other situations that use
% alignments.
%
% \section{Usage}
%
% In~\S\ref{sec:alignment} the simplified alignment format used by arguments to
% macros in this package is described.  In~\S\ref{sec:utility} the utility
% macros provided by the \textsf{spalign} package are presented; these are the
% macros that most users will need.  Section~\ref{sec:options} contains the
% package options.  The macros designed to allow the user to adapt the
% \textsf{spalign} package to other situations are presented
% in~\S\ref{sec:general}.
%
% \subsection{Alignment format}\label{sec:alignment}
% The core functionality of the \textsf{spalign} package is to convert spaces to
% alignment characters `|&|' and semicolons to end-of-row control sequences
% `|\\|'.  This process is called \textit{retokenization}.  The retokenization
% procedure is designed to work more or less how one would expect.
% Retokenization of a string \meta{text} proceeds as follows.
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item Spaces at the beginning and end of \meta{text} are ignored, as are
%   spaces at the beginning and end of a line, and spaces before and after a
%   semicolon or a comma.
% \item Multiple spaces are combined into one space.
% \item Spaces between non-space characters are converted to |&| (really, to
%   the contents of |\spalignaligntab|).
% \item Commas (really, the contents of |\spalignseparator|) are also converted to
% |&|.
% \item Semicolons (really, the contents of |\spalignendofrow|) are
%   converted to |\\| (really, to the contents of |\spalignendline|).
% \item Text in braces |{...}| is treated as a unit: the contents are not
%   retokenized, and the braces are preserved.
% \end{enumerate}
% These rules are best understood by example.
%
% \medskip\noindent\textbf{Example.} The command
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignmat{ 1
%         -2 3 ; 4
%         55 2^3;
%         \frac{1 1}2 {1
%         3} {1 0 1} } \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[\spalignmat{ 1
%        -2 3 ; 4
%        55 2^3 ;
%        \frac{1 1}2 {1
%        3} {1 0 1} }.
% \]
%
% \medskip\noindent\textbf{Example.} The command
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignmat{ \cos\theta, \sin\theta;
%       -\sin\theta, \cos\theta} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[\spalignmat{ \cos\theta, \sin\theta;
%      -\sin\theta, \cos\theta}.
% \]
% Here the commas are necessary: \TeX\ will not tokenize spaces following a
% command sequence, so
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignmat{ \cos\theta \sin\theta;
%       -\sin\theta \cos\theta} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces the (presumably unexpected) result
% \[\spalignmat{ \cos\theta \sin\theta;
%      -\sin\theta \cos\theta}.
% \]
% Instead of commas, one could also type, for instance,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignmat{ \cos\theta{} \sin\theta;
%       -\sin{\theta} \cos\theta} \]\end{verbatim}
% 
% \medskip\noindent\textbf{Example.} The fact that expressions between braces
% |{...}| are not retokenized allows for arbitrarily complex entries in
% \textsf{spalign} macros---although these macros are probably not terribly
% useful in such cases.  The \textsf{spalign} macros can even be nested: for
% instance, 
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignmat{ \spalignmat{a b; c d} \spalignmat{a' b'; c' d'};
%         \spalignmat{d e; f g} \spalignmat{d' e'; f' g'} } \] \end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spalignmat{ \spalignmat{a b; c d} \spalignmat{a' b'; c' d'};
%       \spalignmat{d e; f g} \spalignmat{d' e'; f' g'} }. \]
% 
%
% \subsection{Utility macros}\label{sec:utility}
% Most math-mode utility macros use the |array| environment internally.  This
% can be the vanilla \LaTeX\ |array| environment, or the one from the
% \textsf{array} package; it makes no difference.  All math-mode utility macros
% have an un-starred version and a starred version.  The un-starred version
% produces arrays with the delimiters defined by the package options
% (see~\ref{sec:options}), and the starred version omits the delimiters (and the
% glue between the delimiters and the array).
%
% As the only purpose of this package is to save keystrokes, the user may want
% to put
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \let\mat=\spalignmat
%    \let\amat=\spalignaugmat
%    \let\vec=\spalignvector\end{verbatim}
% or something similar after |\usepackage{spalign}|.  Note that |\mat*| will now
% also be synonymous with |\spalignmat*|, etc.
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignarray}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignarray*}
% \usage\spalignarray{\marg{alignment specifier}\marg{text}}
% Produces a (potentially delimited) |array| environment, passing it
% \meta{alignment specifier}, after retokenizing \meta{text}.  This is exactly
% like the matrix environments below, except that it is possible to specify the
% alignment of each column separately, add vertical bars, etc.
% For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignarray{l|c|r}{1 1 1; 100 100 100} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \DeleteShortVerb{\|}
%    \spalignarray{l|c|r}{1 1 1; 100 100 100}. 
%    \MakeShortVerb{\|}
% \]
% Note that |\spalignarray*| simply produces an |array| environment surrounding
% the retokenized \meta{text}.
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignmat}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignmat*}
% \usage\spalignmat{\oarg{column alignment}\marg{text}}
% Produces a matrix whose columns are aligned according to the
% \meta{column alignment}, after retokenizing \meta{text}.  The \meta{column alignment}
% is an array environment alignment specifier for a single column (usually |l|,
% |c|, or |r|), which is used for each column.  The default is |c|.  For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignmat[l]{1 1 1; 100 100 100} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spalignmat[l]{1 1 1; 100 100 100}. \]
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignvector}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignvector*}
% \usage\spalignvector{\oarg{column alignment}\marg{text}}
% Produces a matrix with one column.  Spaces, commas, and semicolons are all
% retokenized to the end-of-row control sequence `|\\|'.  The
% \meta{column alignment} is interpreted as in |\spalignmat|; the default is
% |c|.  For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignvector[r]{1 100 1000} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spalignvector[r]{1 100 1000}. \]
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignaugmatn}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignaugmatn*}
% \usage\spalignaugmatn{\oarg{column alignment}\marg{augmented columns}\marg{text}}
% Produces a matrix with a vertical divider located \meta{augmented columns} from the
% right side of the matrix.  The \meta{column alignment} is interpreted as in
% |\spalignmat|; the default is |r|.  For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignaugmatn[c]{3}{1 2 3 4; 10 20 30 40} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spalignaugmatn[c]{3}{1 2 3 4; 10 20 30 40}. \]
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignaugmat}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignaugmat*}
% \usage\spalignaugmat{\oarg{column alignment}\marg{text}}
% This is the same as |\spalignaugmatn|, with \meta{augmented columns} equal to
% $1$.  For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignaugmat{1 2 3 4; 10 20 30 40} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spalignaugmat{1 2 3 4; 10 20 30 40}. \]
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignaugmathalf}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignaugmathalf*}
% \usage\spalignaugmathalf{\oarg{column alignment}\marg{text}}
% This is the same as |\spalignaugmatn|, with \meta{augmented columns} equal to
% the largest integer less or equal to half of the total number of columns
% parsed from \meta{text}.  For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignaugmathalf[l]{1 2 3 4; 10 20 30 40} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spalignaugmathalf[l]{1 2 3 4; 10 20 30 40}. \]
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignsys}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignsys*}
% \usage\spalignsys{\marg{text}}
% Typesets systems of simple equations so that binary operators and relations
% are aligned vertically, and variables are right-justified.  This macro assumes
% that variables are in odd columns and that binary operators and relations are
% in even columns.  For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignsys{2x + y = 4; x - 3y = -17} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spalignsys{2x + y = 4; x - 3y = -17\rlap.} \]
% Within \marg{text} the macro |\+| is defined to be an empty box with the size
% and spacing of a binary operator, the macro |\=| is defined to be an empty box
% with the size and spacing of a relation, and the macro |\.| is defined to be
% empty.  (Ordinarily, the latter two macros produce th\=ese acc\.ents, but they
% cannot be used in math mode.)  This allows one to deal with empty columns in
% an easy-to-read way: for example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spalignsys{
%         2x \+ \. - 3z =  1; 
%         \. \+ 4y +  z = -4}
%    \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
%    \[ \spalignsys{
%         2x \+ \. - 3z = 1; 
%         \. \+ 4y +  z = -4\rlap.} 
%    \]
% As with the matrix macros, delimiters can be changed with the package options.
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{\spaligntabular}
% \usage\spaligntabular{\marg{alignment specifier}\marg{text}}
% Produces an (undelimited) |tabular| environment, passing it
% \meta{alignment specifier}, after retokenizing \meta{text}.  This macro may be
% used outside of math mode, and therefore is undelimited.
% For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \spaligntabular{lrc}{a b c; aa bb cc}\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spaligntabular{lcr}{a b c; aa bb cc} \]
%
% \subsection{Package options}\label{sec:options}
% The following package options can be specified as key-value pairs when the
% package is loaded, as in
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \usepackage[sep={,},endofrow=;]{spalign} \end{verbatim}
% They can also be set directly with macros, which are described as well.
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{delims}
% \DescribeMacro{\spaligndelims}
% \poption Use: Specifies the delimiters used by all matrix macros.\endopt
% \poption Format: Must contain exactly two delimiter tokens, the first for the left
%   delimiter, the second for the right.\endopt
% \poption Default: |delims=()|\endopt
% \poption Macro: |\spaligndelims|\marg{left-delim}\marg{right-delim}\endopt
% \smallskip
% It is easier to specify |\{\}| as delimiters using the macro form.
% For example,
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \[ \spaligndelims\vert\vert \spalignmat{a b; c d} \]\end{verbatim}
% produces
% \[ \spaligndelims\vert\vert \spalignmat{a b; c d}. \]
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{sysdelims}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignsysdelims}
% These function the same way as |delims| and |\spaligndelims|, except they
% apply only to the |\spalignsys| macro.  The default is |\spalignsysdelims\{.|,
% i.e., left brace and no right delimiter.
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{matdelimskip}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignmatdelimskip}
% \poption Use: Specifies the glue to insert between delimiters and the internal
%   |array| environment in (un-starred) math-mode matrix macros, i.e., all
%   math-mode utility macros except |\spalignvector|.\endopt
% \poption Format: Should either be empty, or expand to a legal |\hskip|,
%   |\mskip|, or |\kern| command.  (Really any sequence of tokens can be
%   specified; they will dutifully be inserted between the delimiters and the
%   |array|, but this behavior may change in future versions.)\endopt
% \poption Default: |matdelimskip=\,|\endopt
% \poption Macro: |\def\spalignmatdelimskip|\marg{skip}\endopt
% \smallskip
% Actually, an additional skip of |\hskip-\arraycolsep| is always added; the
% effect is that if |matdimskip| is empty, then there is no extra space between
% the outer columns of the |array| and the delimiters.  This is how the
% \textsf{amsmath} package's |matrix| environment is defined.  It is this
% package author's opinion that matrices look better when a thin space is added
% between the outer columns of the |array| and the delimiters.  To keep the
% original array spacing inside the delimiters, specify
% |matdelimskip=\hskip\arraycolsep|.
%
% Here are four matrices typeset, respectively, with |matdelimskip|
% set to |{}|, |\,|, |\;|, and |{\hskip\arraycolsep}|.
% \[ \def\spalignmatdelimskip{}   \spalignmat{10 20; 30 40} \quad
%    \def\spalignmatdelimskip{\,} \spalignmat{10 20; 30 40} \quad

%    \def\spalignmatdelimskip{\hskip\arraycolsep} \spalignmat{10 20; 30 40}
%  \]
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{vecdelimskip}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignvecdelimskip}
% These function the same way as |matdelimskip| and |\spalignmatdelimskip|,
% except they apply only to the |\spalignvector| macro.  The default is no extra
% skip in vectors, i.e., |vecdelimskip={}|.
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{sysdelimskip}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignsysdelimskip}
% These function the same way as |matdelimskip| and |\spalignmatdelimskip|,
% except they apply only to the |\spalignsys| macro.  The default is
% |sysdelimskip=\,|.
%
% Actually there is a slight difference: the |\halign| primitive used in the
% |\spalignsys| macro does not put glue on the outsides of the columns, so that
% it is unnecessary to subtract any |\arraycolsep| glue.
%
% \bigskip
% \noindent
% \DescribeMacro{systabspace}
% \DescribeMacro{\spalignsystabspace}
% \poption Use: Specifies the amount of glue between columns in
%   |\spsysalign|.\endopt 
% \poption Format: Must be a legal glue specification.\endopt
% \poption Default: |systabspace=1pt|\endopt
% \poption Macro: |\spalignsystabspace=|\meta{glue}\endopt
% \smallskip
% Equations with operators, relations, and variables all aligned look a 
% better with a bit of extra spacing between these three.  Setting |systabspace|
% to zero will cause the equations to use their natural spacing, subject to
% the alignment. For example, the following systems of equations were typeset,
% respectively, with |systabspace| set to |0pt|, |1pt|, and |5pt|.
%   \[ 
%      \spalignsystabspace=0pt \spalignsys{2x + y = 4; x - 3y = -17} \qquad

% The following commands can be redefined to affect the behavior of the package,

% \DescribeMacro{\spalignretokenize}
% \usage\spalignretokenize{\marg{text}}
% Applies the retokenization procedure to \meta{text}, and expands to the

% \subsection{Main retokenizing code}
% The retokenizer processes the input token list one ``item'' at a time,
% performing replacements as necessary, and saving the resulting tokens in
% |\spaligntoks|.  The difficulties arise because of the special treatment that
% \TeX\ gives to spaces and braces.  First let's review the rules of the game:
% \begin{enumerate}\itemsep=1\jot\parskip=0pt
% \item Spaces after a control sequence are not tokenized.
% \item Multiple spaces are tokenized into a single space.
% \item Space tokens between a control sequence and its argument are ignored:
%   undelimited spaces are never interpreted as a macro argument.
% \item Braces around a macro argument are stripped.
% \item The |\futurelet|\meta{control sequence}\meta{token1}\meta{token2} syntax
%   will |\let| the specified \meta{control sequence} be \meta{token2}, nomatter
%   what kind of token \meta{token2} is.
% \end{enumerate}
% Consider then a macro |\retokenize#1{...}| and the token sequence
% \[ \hbox{|\retokenize |\tvs|{\bf a}b|} \]
% The |\retokenize| macro needs to recognize both the space (as it should be
% replaced by an align token, if other non-space tokens have just been processed),
% and the braces (so |{\bf a}b| is not replaced by |\bf ab|).  However, the
% argument to |\retokenize| will be |\bf a|; the space and braces are ignored.
%
% The solution, of course, is judicious use of |\futurelet|.  (One could
% conceivably use |\let| and |\futurelet| exclusively, except then one would
% have the opposite problem: we \emph{want} the retokenizer to swallow whole
% arguments in braces.)  This is still somewhat tricky:
% \[ \hbox{|\futurelet\next\retokenize |\tvs|{\bf a}b|} \]
% will expand |\retokenize| with the argument set to |\bf a| and |\next|
% behaving like \tvs, but the braces will still disappear.  Hence one has to use
% the |\futurelet| in a macro which does not take any arguments.
%
% Here is the outline of the solution to the problem used in this package.  The
% |\spalign@gobble@spaces| macro has the effect of deleting the subsequent
% sequence of space tokens and replacing them with the token
% |\spalign@parsetoks|.  It sets |\spalign@saw@spacetrue| if it ate at least
% one space token, and in any case it sets |\spalign@nexttok| to the following
% token.  The |\spalign@parsetoks| macro takes one argument.  When it is
% executed, |\spalign@nexttok| represents a non-space token.  Now
% |\spalign@parsetoks| knows if the token beginning its argument is a brace, and
% it knows if there was a space preceding the brace as well, using
% |\ifspalign@saw@space|.  It can proceed to parse its argument in a
% straightforward manner, eventually expanding back into
% |\splign@gobble@spaces|, unless it sees |\spalign@end|, which signifies the
% end of input.
%
% See Appendix~D in the {\TeX}book for a discussion of these kinds of tricks.
%
% \begin{macro}{\spalign@makespace}
%   This macro expands to a single space token.  It is mildly tricky to
%   construct, since \TeX\ allows one optional space token after |\let\foo| or
%   |\let\foo=|, but multiple spaces are combined into one space token.  Here is
%   one trick for producing two consecutive space tokens.  See Exercise~24.6 in
%   the {\TeX}book.

% \begin{macro}{\spalign@end}
%   Sentinel macro that is used to mark the end-of-input for

%   On the other hand, one can test whether a token is |\spalign@end| using
%   |\ifx| without using some other sentinel expansion of the macro, and the

% \subsection{Poor man's starred commands}
% There are several excellent packages that allow for flexible command
% specifications.  However, the needs of this package are minimal as regards
% starred commands, so in order to reduce dependencies, this package contains
% its own simple implimentation.
%
% \begin{macro}{\ifspalign@star}
%   Boolean variable which records whether or not the current command has a star
%   on it.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifspalign@star
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \begin{macro}{\spalign@def@star}
%   Used like |\def|, the command |\spalign@def@star\foo{...}| defines a macro
%   |\foo| which can be called as |\foo| or |\foo*|.  In the body of |\foo|,
%   the boolean variable |\ifspalign@star| indicates whether the command was
%   called with a star.
%
%   This command actually defines three commands: |\foo|, |\foo@x|, and
%   |\foo@star|.  The first calls the second with |\spalign@nexttok| defined via
%   |\futurelet| to the token following |\foo|.  The command |\foo@x| checks
%   whether or not the next token is a star, and if it is, it is removed from
%   the token list.  It then sets |\ifspalign@star| appropriately and calls
%   |\foo@star|, which contains the original command definition.  Of course,
%   |\foo@star| can then be redefined, for instance using |\newcommand|, to take
%   advantage of \LaTeX's optional argument parsing.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\spalign@gobble@one#1{}

\def\spalign@def@star#1{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%   If |#1| is |\foo|, then |\spalign@cmd| expands to |\foo|,
%   |\spalign@cmd@x| expands to |\foo@x|, and |\spalign@cmd@star| expands to
%   |\foo@star|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \def\spalign@cmd{#1}%
  \edef\spalign@cmd@x{%
    \csname\expandafter\spalign@gobble@one\string#1@x\endcsname}%
  \edef\spalign@cmd@star{%
    \csname\expandafter\spalign@gobble@one\string#1@star\endcsname}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%   Make |\foo@x| unexpandable.  (The |\csname...\endcsname| construction
%   already does this, but only if |\foo@x| was previously undefined.)  This
%   makes it easier to define |\foo|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \expandafter\let\spalign@cmd@x=\relax
  \expandafter\edef\spalign@cmd{%
    \futurelet\noexpand\spalign@nexttok\spalign@cmd@x}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%   I don't know a less annoying but still short way of defining a token list
%   where only one token in the middle is to be expanded, and that one token only
%   once (not recursively).
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \def\spalign@mkcmd##1{%

        \def\spalign@next{}%
      \fi%
%    \end{macrocode}
