 The artthreads Package
 Author: D. P. Story
-Version: v1.1
-Dated: 2016/04/09
+Version: v1.3.1
+Dated: 2020-07-09
 
 Through the commands of the artthreads package, create PDF article threads, 
 a concept/feature of Adobe Reader/Acrobat that has been around since the 
 product's beginning. The use of article threads typically only makes sense in 
-a document in which the text is in a multi-column format. 
+a document in which the text is in a multi-column format or in narrow columns.
 
 Set the article threads after the composition of the document is completed. 
 The method of setting the threads is very visual not automatic as in the 
 threadcol package of Scott Patkin (available for pdftex only). 
 
-The artthreads package supports all drivers: dvips, pdflatex (which includes 
-lualatex), dvipdfm, dvipdfmx, and xelatex. 
+The artthreads package supports all drivers: dvips, pdflatex, 
+lualatex, xelatex, dvipdfm, and dvipdfmx. 
 
-Unpack the distribution by latexing artthreads.ins.
+What's New v1.3.1 (2020-07-09) Fixed some issues with lualatex. 
+Additonal built-in push buttons and link actions to direct the 
+reader to a particular thread. 
 
 Enjoy.

+\section{Other navigation commands}
+
+There are several commands for creating links or push button actions that
+open the \uif{Articles} pane and/or begin reading a specified article.
+
+\paragraph*{Manipulating the \uif{Articles} pane.} The following two commands represent
+actions that toggle the \uif{Articles} pane (\cs{shArticlesPaneActn}) or just open/show the \uif{Articles} pane (\cs{sArticlesPaneActn}).
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\shArticlesPaneReadActn}%
+\setlength{\dimen0}{\bxSize}%
+\def\1{\rlap{\hskip\dimen0\relax\sffamily(Toggle Articles pane action)}}
+\def\2{\rlap{\hskip\dimen0\relax\sffamily(Show Articles pane action)}}
+\def\3{\rlap{\hskip\dimen0\relax\sffamily(Toggle Articles pane and read article action)}}
+\def\4{\rlap{\hskip\dimen0\relax\sffamily(Show Articles pane and read article action)}}
+\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
+!1\shArticlesPaneActn
+!2\sArticlesPaneActn
+!3\shArticlesPaneReadActn
+!4\sArticlesPaneReadActn
+\end{dCmd}
+\eVerb For example,
+\begin{quote}
+    \setLink[\A{\shArticlesPaneActn}]{Toggle \uif{Articles} pane}\\
+    \verb!\setLink[\A{\shArticlesPaneActn}]{Toggle \textsf{Articles} pane}!\\[3pt]
+    \setLink[\A{\sArticlesPaneActn}]{Show \uif{Articles} pane}\\
+    \verb!\setLink[\A{\sArticlesPaneActn}]{Show \textsf{Articles} pane}!
+\end{quote}
+These two actions can be used by push buttons as well.
+
+\paragraph*{Reading a thread.} To create an action to read a thread with a title of \ameta{thread-title},
+use \cs{Thread\darg{\ameta{thread-title}}}. For example,
+\begin{quote}
+    Read about the \setLink[\A{\Thread{Package options}}]{Package options}.\\
+    \verb~\setLink[\A{\Thread{Package options}}]{Package options}.~
+\end{quote}
+Again notice that the viewer returns you to the jumping off point after
+you've finished reading the thread. The \cs{Thread\darg{\ameta{thread-title}}}
+action can be part of a push button action as well.
+
+\paragraph*{Some push buttons.} \pkg{artthreads} has some push buttons with common actions,
+these are,
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\toggleArticlePaneRead[\ameta{KV-pairs}]\darg{\ameta{wd}}\darg{\ameta{ht}}}%
+\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
+\toggleArticlePane[!ameta(KV-pairs)]{!ameta(wd)}{!ameta(ht)}
+\toggleArticlePaneRead[!ameta(KV-pairs)]{!ameta(wd)}{!ameta(ht)}
+\showArticlePane[!ameta(KV-pairs)]{!ameta(wd)}{!ameta(ht)}
+\showArticlePaneRead[!ameta(KV-pairs)]{!ameta(wd)}{!ameta(ht)}
+\end{dCmd}
+\eVerb The names of the commands describe the action they perform. However,
+the commands \cs{toggleArticlePaneRead} and \cs{showArticlePaneRead} require special comment.
+Each begins an article thread, but which article thread?
+\begin{quote}%\previewOn\pmpvOn
+    \showArticlePaneRead{}{11bp}\\[2bp]
+    \verb!\showArticlePaneRead{}{11bp}!
+\end{quote}
+Without any further qualifiers, this button begins reading the thread as
+determined by the value of the \texttt{title} key of the last
+\cs{setThreadInfo} command declared. So, the above push button should begin
+the thread titled ``\threadTitle''. However, to program the button to begin
+reading the thread titled \ameta{thread-title}, use the following syntax:
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,commandchars=!()]
+\showArticlePaneRead[!textbf(\cmd{\readArticle{!ameta(thread-title)}})]{}{11bp}
+\end{Verbatim}
+We illustrate by using \cs{showArticlePaneRead} to read the thread with title
+``Package options,'' and the same action in a link.
+\begin{quote} %\previewOn\pmpvOn
+    \showArticlePaneRead[\cmd{\readArticle{Package options}}]{}{11bp}\\[2bp]
+    \verb~\showArticlePaneRead[\cmd{\readArticle{Package options}}]{}{11bp}~\\[4bp]
+    \setLink[\cmd{\readArticle{Package options}}\A{\sArticlesPaneReadActn}]{Show \textsf{Articles} pane and read the Package options article}\\[2bp]
+    \verb~\setLink[\cmd{\readArticle{Package options}}~\\
+    \null\quad\verb~\A{\sArticlesPaneReadActn}]{Show \textsf{Articles} pane~\\
+    \null\quad\verb~and read the Package options article}~
+\end{quote}
+
+\subparagraph*{Tooltips for push buttons.} The tooltips for the commands
+\cs{toggleArticlePane} and \cs{showArticlePane} are \textsf{Toggle Articles
+Pane} and \textsf{Show Articles Pane}, respectively. These can be localized
+using the \cs{TU} key if \pkg{eforms}; for example,
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars={|()}]
+\showArticlePane[|textbf(\TU{Umschalten der Artikel Schaltfl\"{a}che})]{}{11bp}
+\end{Verbatim}
+which may be German for \textsf{Toggle Articles Pane}.
+
+For the other two, \cs{toggleArticlePaneRead} and \cs{showArticlePaneRead}, two convenience
+commands are defined.
+\bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\tooltipTogglePaneRead\darg{\ameta{text}}}%
+\begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize}
+\tooltipTogglePaneRead{!ameta(text)}
+\tooltipShowPaneRead{!ameta(text)}}
+\end{dCmd}
+\eVerb The values of \ameta{text} allows for the inclusion of the command
+\cs{threadTitle}, which expands to the current title of the thread article.
+The default definitions are,
+\begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent]
+\tooltipTogglePaneRead{Toggle Articles pane and
+  read the article \threadTitle}
+\tooltipShowPaneRead{Show Articles pane and
+  read the article \threadTitle}
+\end{Verbatim}
+If you roll over the button at the top of the this page, its tooltip will read \textsf{Show Articles pane and
+  read the article Package options}. The two commands may be declare with an appropriate language localization.
