%%#############################################################################
%%#
%%#  With this package you may write shorter (or longer) underlines/underbars.
%%#  This is particularly useful for `underlined' variables which are needed
%%#  by some engineers.
%%#
%%#############################################################################

%%#
%%# This package was tested with plain TeX, LaTeX 2.09, and LaTeX 2e,
%%# and it should actually run with most other TeX formats.
%%#

% If you have access to (reasonable new) docstrip TeXfiles, you should run
% tex/latex on the file
%   `ushort.ins'
% to produce the files `ushort.sty', `ushort.txt' and `ushort.tex'.
% (In case `ushort.ins' is lost: You can find its content in the last
%  few lines of the file you are currently reading between the
%  lines %<*insfile> and %</insfile>;
%  BTW: You should name this file here `ushort.dtx' before you run tex
%  on ushort.ins).
%
% The file `ushort.txt' contains a `brief' (but complete) ascii
% documentation. If you have additionally access to LaTeX2e, you may run
% latex on the generated file `ushort.tex' to produce `ushort.dvi' which
% contains a more luxury documentation.
%
% If you do not have access to the docstrip TeXfiles you may simply
% copy/rename this file here into
%   `ushort.sty'
% to use the package and read the ascii documentation in this file.
% The ascii documentation (the content of `ushort.txt') consists of all
% lines in this file which start with %%# (this the above block and another
% (very large) block which follows soon).
%
% But I do not recommended this, because TeX will need more time to read this
% longer file, and because there might be a (very slight) incompatibility if
% you use it (namely if you load `ushort.sty' with some *extremely* strange
% catcodes).
% I recommend in this case instead to generate the file `ushort.sty' as
% anything between the lines %<*package> and %</package> by hand.
% (This is not precisely the file which you get with the docstrip TeXfiles,
% but a reasonable good substitute. To speed up loading, you may also
% eliminate all lines starting with `% ' in `ushort.sty').
% For your information: The file `ushort.tex' produced by the docstrip
% TeXfiles is anything between the lines %<*driver> and %</driver>
% (with a line containing \endinput and two comment lines appended).
%
%
% In any case, you end up with the file `ushort.sty'.
%
% If you can generate `ushort.tex', you will probably want to stop
% reading now and instead read the `luxury' documentation in `ushort.dvi'.
%
% Otherwise, you have to make due with the following ascii documentation.

%%# In the newsgroup de.comp.text.tex the question arose whether it is
%%# possible to define `underlined' variables: Such variables are required for
%%# complex vectors by electrical engineers.
%%# The usual \underline command is not appropriate for this purpose, because
%%# the underlines of concatenated variables merge which is not desired.
%%# One may use the macro "\ushort" of this package instead.
%%#
%%# However, this package also provides a generic macro which allows to
%%# create new commands which work similarly but use different parameters
%%# for the underlines. In particular, it is possible to create e.g. a macro
%%# which draws longer underlines than usual or which does a similar task with
%%# \underbar.

%%#
%%# Installation:
%%#

%%# To use ushort, you have to put `ushort.sty' in a path where TeX looks
%%# for its input files. The TeX documents using ushort need the
%%# following modifications in their header:
%%#
%%# a) If you use LaTeX2.09, use ushort as a style option, e.g.
%%#      \documentstyle[ushort]{article}
%%#    or
%%#      \documentstyle[ushort,12pt]{article}
%%# b) If you use LaTeX2e, put in the preamble the command
%%#      \usepackage{ushort}
%%# c) If you use some other (non-LaTeX) format, you will probably have to
%%#    insert a line like
%%#          \catcode`\@=11\relax \input ushort.sty \catcode`\@=12\relax
%%#
%%# For TeX insiders:
%%# The only LaTeX-specific commands used in `ushort.sty' are:
%%#
%%#   \newcommand (only in the form \newcommand{\command}{} to ensure that
%%#                 \command was not defined before)
%%#   \ProvidesPackage
%%#   \typeout
%%#
%%#   The above commands are used only if they are defined.
%%#

%%#
%%# Description of the provided macros:
%%#

%%# This package provides the following macros.
%%#
%%# \ushort
%%#     This command is used analogously to \underline with the difference that
%%#     the underlines are slightly shorter than usual (and so, in particular,
%%#     in concatenations of `\ushort'ed variable names the underlines do not
%%#     merge). The length of the underline is chosen under the assumption that
%%#     the argument is a single character. If you want to underline a variable
%%#     name which consists of more than one character, use instead the command
%%# \ushortw  [Mnemonic: ushort word]
%%#     which is analogous to \ushort but such that the length of the underline
%%#     is chosen appropriate for a `long' argument. (This does not look as
%%#     good as \ushort if the argument is a single character).
%%# \ushortd  [Mnemonic: ushort double]
%%#     This is analogous to \ushort except that the underline is doubled.
%%# \ushortdw [Mnemonic: ushortd word]
%%#     This is analogous to \ushortw except that the underline is doubled.
%%# \ushortdline
%%#     This is analogous to \underline except that the underline is doubled.
%%#     This command is internally used by \ushortd and \ushortdw and
%%#     thus redefinitions change also the behavior of \ushortd and \ushortdw
%%#     correspondingly.
%%#     In Plain TeX, this macro can be used only in math mode.
%%# \ushortCreate
%%#     This can be used to generate a macro which behaves similarly to \ushort
%%#     or \ushortd but for which certain parameters can be changed.
%%# \ushortEnsuremath
%%#     This is rather equivalent to the LaTeX2e macro \ensuremath
%%#     (but is available also e.g. in compatibility mode or if this package
%%#     is used with plain TeX or LaTeX 2.09).
%%#
%%# Only \ushortCreate needs a detailed description. Its call syntax is:
%%#
%%# \ushortCreate*:\command[Summand]<FactorBefore>(FactorAfter)
%%#              +{additional calculations}{Name}
%%#
%%# All arguments except for the last one {Name} are optional.
%%# Moreover, also the order of these arguments can be changed arbitrarily,
%%# and they can be repeated (all except for the last occurrence of each
%%# each type of argument is ignored).
%%# Only the last argument {Name} can not be repeated and must be at the end.
%%#
%%# This command creates a new macro \Name. It is not tested whether \Name
%%# already exists; if it exists already, it is overridden. In particular,
%%# it is admissible to use \ushortCreate to redefine \ushort, \ushortw,
%%# \ushortd, or \ushortdw. This is the recommended method, if you want to
%%# change the default values.
%%#
%%# The macro \Name can be used analogously to \underline, but the precise
%%# behavior depends on the arguments of \ushortCreate.
%%#
%%# The meaning of the arguments is as follows:
%%#
%%# *   If the * is present, then the command \underbar is used
%%#     (instead of the default \underline) to draw the underline.
%%#     Moreover, the command \underbar is not used in math mode (while
%%#     \underline is used in math mode).
%%# :\command  Use \command instead of the default \underline to draw the
%%#     underline. Whether \command is executed in math mode or not
%%#     depends on whether * has been used.
%%# [Summand]  Add Summand to the length of the underline before drawing.
%%#     Values like -.3\ht0 are admissible. Summand is expanded only when \Name
%%#     is expanded, and \wd0 or \ht0 give the width respectively height of the
%%#     argument given to \name. In particular, also the value of the unit `em'
%%#     depends on the mode in which \Name is called.
%%#     The default is empty (which means 0pt but is faster).
%%# <FactorBefore> Multiply the length of the underline before adding Summand.
%%#     The empty string means 1 (and costs no time).
%%#     The default is empty.
%%# (FactorAfter)  Multiply the length of the underline after adding Summand.
%%#     The empty string means 1 (and costs no time).
%%#     The default is `.8'.
%%# +{Additional calculations} With this argument, you can introduce an
%%#     arbitrary command sequence into the generated command: This sequence
%%#     is executed (within a group) after Summand was added, but before
%%#     FactorAfter is applied. This sequence is meant to do additional
%%#     calculation with \dimen0 which is the length of the generated
%%#     underline. When the calculations are carried out, \box0 contains the
%%#     content which is to be underlined. However, in contrast to previous
%%#     releases of this package, modifications of this box are ignored.
%%#     Instead, the registers \dimen1 and \dimen2 also contain the height and
%%#     depth of this box - you have to modify these values to attain the
%%#     desired effect.
%%#
%%# Examples:
%%#
%%# The most important examples are the macros \ushort, \ushortw, \ushortd,
%%# and \ushortdw which have been created by
%%#
%%#    \ushortCreate{ushort}
%%#    \ushortCreate()[-.1em]{ushortw}
%%#    \ushortCreate:\ushortdline{ushortd}
%%#    \ushortCreate:\ushortdline()[-.1em]{ushortdw}
%%#
%%# A further example demonstrating other parameters is
%%#
%%#    \ushortCreate(3)(.5){uline}
%%#
%%# This creates the macro \uline which underbars its argument but such that
%%# the underbar has only half of the usual length (the argument (3)
%%# in the above call is overridden by the later argument (.5)).
%%#
%%# A more useful example is
%%#
%%#    \ushortCreate()[-.3\ht0]{ushort}
%%#
%%# This modifies \ushort such that the underline is shrunken by .3 times

% \section{Introduction}
%
% In the newsgroup "de.comp.text.tex" the question arose whether it is
% possible to define `underlined' variables: Such variables are required for
% complex vectors by electrical engineers.
% The usual "\underline" command is not appropriate for this purpose, because
% the underlines of concatenated variables merge which is not desired.
% One may use the macro "\ushort" of this package instead.
%
% However, this package also provides a generic macro which allows to
% create new commands which work similarly but use different parameters
% for the underlines. In particular, it is possible to create e.g.\ a macro
% which draws longer underlines than usual or which does a similar task with
% "\underbar".

% \section{Installation}

% This package was tested with plain \TeX, \LaTeX 2.09, and \LaTeXe, and it
% should actually run with most other \TeX\ formats.

% To use ``ushort'', you have to put the file "ushort.sty" in a path where
% \TeX\ looks for its input files. The \TeX\ documents using ushort need the
% following modifications in their header:
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item If you use \LaTeXe, put in the preamble the command
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \usepackage{ushort}\end{verbatim}
%
% \item If you use \LaTeX 2.09, use "ushort" as a style option, e.g.\
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \documentstyle[ushort]{article}\end{verbatim}
%    or
%   \begin{verbatim}
%     \documentstyle[ushort,12pt]{article}\end{verbatim}
%
% \item If you use some other (non-\LaTeX) format, you will probably have to
%    insert a line like
% \begin{verbatim}
% \catcode`\@=11\relax \input ushort.sty \catcode`\@=12\relax\end{verbatim}
%
% \end{itemize}
%
% For \TeX\ insiders:
% The only \LaTeX-specific commands used in "ushort.sty" are:
%
% \begin{itemize}
% \item "\newcommand" (used only in the form "\newcommand{"\meta{command}"}{}"
%       to ensure that \meta{command} was not defined before)
% \item "\ProvidesPackage"
% \item "\typeout"
% \end{itemize}
% The above commands are used only if they are defined
% (for "\typeout" a reasonable substitute is used, otherwise).

%
% \section{Description of the provided macros}
%
% This package provides the following macros.
% \begin{description}
% \iDescribe{ushort}
%   This command is used analogously to
%   "\underline" with the difference that the underlines are slightly shorter
%   than usual (and so, in particular, in concatenations of "\ushort"'ed
%   variable names the underlines do not merge).
%   The length of the underline is chosen under the assumption that
%   the argument is a single character. If you want to underline a variable
%   name which consists of more than one character, use instead the
%   following command "\ushortw".
% \iDescribe{ushortw} (Mnemonic: ``ushort word'').
%   This command is analogous to "\ushort" but such that the length of the
%   underline is chosen appropriate for a `long' argument. (This does not
%   look as good as "\ushort" if the argument is a single character).
% \iDescribe{ushortd} (Mnemonic: ``ushort double'').
%   This is analogous to "\ushort" except that the underline is doubled.
% \iDescribe{ushortdw} (Mnemonic: ``ushortd word'').
%   This is analogous to "\ushortd" except that the underline is doubled.
% \iDescribe{ushortdline}
%   This is analogous to "\underline" except that the underline is doubled.
%   This command is internally used by "\ushortd" and "\ushortdw",
%   and thus redefinitions change also the behavior of "\ushortd" and
%   "\ushortdw" correspondingly.
%   In Plain \TeX, this macro can be used only in math mode.
% \iDescribe{ushortCreate}
%   This can be used to generate a macro which behaves similarly to "\ushort"
%   or "\ushortd" but for which certain parameters can be changed.
%   For a detailed description, see below.
% \iDescribe{ushortEnsuremath}
%   This is rather equivalent to the \LaTeXe\ macro "\ensuremath"
%   (but is available also e.g.\ in compatibility mode or if this package
%   is used with plain \TeX\ or \LaTeX 2.09).
% \end{description}
%
% Only "\ushortCreate" needs a detailed description. Its call syntax is:
% \begin{quote}
%"\ushortCreate*:\"\meta{command}"["\meta{summand}"]<"\meta{factor before}">"\\
%"             "\relax
%"("\meta{factor after}")+"\bracemeta{additional calculations}\bracemeta{name}
% \end{quote}
%
% All arguments except for the last one \bracemeta{name} are optional.
% Moreover, also the order of these arguments can be changed arbitrarily,
% and they can be repeated (all except for the last occurrence of each
% each type of argument is ignored).
% Only the last argument \bracemeta{name} can not be repeated and must be at
% the end.
%
% This command creates a new macro \textbackslash\meta{name}.
% It is not tested whether \textbackslash\meta{name} already exists;
% if it exists already, it is overridden. In particular,
% it is admissible to use "\ushortCreate" to redefine "\ushort", "\ushortw",
% "\ushortd", or "\ushortdw". This is the recommended method, if you want to
% change the default values.
%
% The macro \textbackslash\meta{name} can be used analogously to "\underline",
% but the precise behavior depends on the arguments of "\ushortCreate".
%
% The meaning of the arguments is as follows:
%
% \begin{description}
% \item[\mdseries\texttt*]
%     If the "*" is present, then the command "\underbar" is used
%     (instead of the default "\underline") to draw the underline.
%     Moreover, the command "\underbar" is not used in math mode (while
%     "\underline" is used in math mode).
% \item[\mdseries\texttt:\textbackslash\meta{command}]
%     Use \textbackslash\meta{command} instead of the default "\underline" to
%     draw the underline. Whether \textbackslash\meta{command} is executed in
%     math mode or not depends on whether "*" has been used.
% \item[\mdseries\texttt{[}\meta{summand}\texttt{]}]
%     Add \meta{summand} to the length of the underline before drawing.
%     Values like "-.3\ht0" are admissible.
%     \meta{summand} is expanded only when \textbackslash\meta{name} is
%     expanded, and "\wd0" or "\ht0" give the width respectively height of the
%     argument given to "\name". In particular, also the value of the unit "em"
%     depends on the mode in which \textbackslash\meta{name} is called.
%     The default is empty (which means "0pt" but is faster).
% \item[\mdseries\texttt{<}\meta{factor before}\texttt{>}]
%     Multiply the length of the underline before adding \meta{summand}.
%     The empty string means $1$ (and costs no time).
%     The default is empty.
% \item[\mdseries\texttt{(}\meta{factor after}\texttt{)}]
%     Multiply the length of the underline after adding \meta{summand}.
%     The empty string means $1$ (and costs no time).
%     The default is "0.8".
% \item[\mdseries\texttt+\bracemeta{Additional calculations}]
%     With this argument, you can introduce an arbitrary command sequence into
%     the generated command: This sequence is executed (within a group) after
%     \meta{summand} was added, but before \meta{factor after} is applied.
%     This sequence is meant to do additional calculation with "\dimen0" which
%     is the length of the generated underline.
%     When the calculations are carried out, "\box0" contains the
%     content which is to be underlined. However, in contrast to previous
%     releases of this package, modifications of this box are ignored.
%     Instead, the registers "\dimen1" and "\dimen2" also contain the height
%     and depth of this box -- you have to modify these values to attain the
%     desired effect.
% \end{description}
%
% Examples:
% The most important examples are the macros "\ushort", "\ushortw",
% "\ushortd", and "\ushortdw" which have been created by
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \ushortCreate{ushort}
%    \ushortCreate()[-.1em]{ushortw}
%    \ushortCreate:\ushortdline{ushortd}
%    \ushortCreate:\ushortdline()[-.1em]{ushortdw}\end{verbatim}
% A further example demonstrating other parameters is
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \ushortCreate*(3)(.5){uline}\end{verbatim}
% This creates the macro "\uline" which underbars its argument but such that
% the underbar has only half of the usual length (the argument "(3)" in
% the above call is overridden by the later argument "(.5)").\par
% A more useful example is
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \ushortCreate()[-.3\ht0]{ushort}\end{verbatim}
% This modifies "\ushort" such that the underline is shrunken by $.3$ times
% the height of the argument of "\ushort". If the argument is one letter, this
% means: The higher the letter, the shorter the underline. This looks good
% for italic fonts with some exceptions (like the letter "b").
