% \section{Introduction and user guide}
%
% This file is really rather strange; it gets |\input| by other package
% documentation files to set up most of the environmental gubbins for them.
% It handles almost everything, like loading a document class, finding any
% packages, and building and formatting the title.
%
% It also offers an opportunity for users to customise my nice documentation,
% by using a |mdwtools.cfg| file (not included).
%
%
% \subsection{Declarations}
%
% A typical documentation file contains something like
% \begin{listinglist} \listingsize \obeylines
% |\input{mdwtools}|
% \<declarations>
% |\mdwdoc|
% \end{listinglist}
% The initial |\input| reads in this file and sets up the various commands
% which may be needed.  The final |\mdwdoc| actually starts the document,
% inserting a title (which is automatically generated), a table of
% contents etc., and reads the documentation file in (using the |\DocInput|
% command from the \package{doc} package.
%
% \subsubsection{Describing packages}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\describespackage}
% \DescribeMacro{\describesclass}
% \DescribeMacro{\describesfile}
% \DescribeMacro{\describesfile*}
% The most important declarations are those which declare what the
% documentation describes.  Saying \syntax{"\\describespackage{<package>}"}
% loads the \<package> (if necessary) and adds it to the auto-generated
% title, along with a footnote containing version information.  Similarly,
% |\describesclass| adds a document class name to the title (without loading
% it -- the document itself must do this, with the |\documentclass| command).
% For files which aren't packages or classes, use the |\describesfile| or
% |\describesfile*| command (the $*$-version won't |\input| the file, which
% is handy for files like |mdwtools.tex|, which are already input).
%
% \DescribeMacro{\author}
% \DescribeMacro{\date}
% \DescribeMacro{\title}
% The |\author|, |\date| and |\title| declarations work slightly differently
% to normal -- they ensure that only the \emph{first} declaration has an
% effect.  (Don't you play with |\author|, please, unless you're using this
% program to document your own packages.)  Using |\title| suppresses the
% automatic title generation.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\docdate}
% The default date is worked out from the version string of the package or
% document class whose name is the same as that of the documentation file.
% You can choose a different `main' file by saying
% \syntax{"\\docdate{"<file>"}"}.
%
% \subsubsection{Contents handling}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\addcontents}
% A documentation file always has a table of contents.  Other
% contents-like lists can be added by saying
% \syntax{"\\addcontents{"<extension>"}{"<command>"}"}.  The \<extension>
% is the file extension of the contents file (e.g., \lit{lot} for the
% list of tables); the \<command> is the command to actually typeset the
% contents file (e.g., |\listoftables|).
%
% \subsubsection{Other declarations}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\implementation}
% The \package{doc} package wants you to say
% \syntax{"\\StopEventually{"<stuff>"}"}' before describing the package
% implementation.  Using |mdwtools.tex|, you just say |\implementation|, and
% everything works.  It will automatically read in the licence text (from
% |gpl.tex|, and wraps some other things up.
%
% 
% \subsection{Other commands}
%
% The |mdwtools.tex| file includes the \package{syntax} and \package{sverb}
% packages so that they can be used in documentation files.  It also defines
% some trivial commands of its own.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\<}
% Saying \syntax{"\\<"<text>">" is the same as "\\synt{"<text>"}"}; this
% is a simple abbreviation.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\smallf}
% Saying \syntax{"\\smallf" <number>"/"<number>} typesets a little fraction,
% like this: \smallf 3/4.  It's useful when you want to say that the default
% value of a length is 2 \smallf 1/2\,pt, or something like that.
%
%
% \subsection{Customisation}
%
% You can customise the way that the package documentation looks by writing
% a file called |mdwtools.cfg|.  You can redefine various commands (before
% they're defined here, even; |mdwtools.tex| checks most of the commands that
% it defines to make sure they haven't been defined already.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\indexing}
% If you don't want the prompt about whether to generate index files, you
% can define the |\indexing| command to either \lit{y} or \lit{n}.  I'd
% recommend that you use |\providecommand| for this, to allow further
% customisation from the command line.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\mdwdateformat}
% If you don't like my date format (maybe you're American or something),
% you can redefine the |\mdwdateformat| command.  It takes three arguments:
% the year, month and date, as numbers; it should expand to something which
% typesets the date nicely.  The default format gives something like
% `10 May 1996'.  You can produce something rather more exotic, like
% `10\textsuperscript{th} May \textsc{\romannumeral 1996}' by saying
%\begin{listing}
%\newcommand{\mdwdateformat}[3]{%
%  \number#3\textsuperscript{\numsuffix{#3}}\ %
%  \monthname{#2}\ %
%  \textsc{\romannumeral #1}%
%}
%\end{listing}
% \DescribeMacro{\monthname}
% \DescribeMacro{\numsuffix}
% Saying \syntax{"\\monthname{"<number>"}"} expands to the name of the
% numbered month (which can be useful when doing date formats).  Saying
% \syntax{"\\numsuffix{"<number>"}"} will expand to the appropriate suffix
% (`th' or `rd' or whatever) for the \<number>.  You'll have to superscript
% it yourself, if this is what you want to do.  Putting the year number
% in roman numerals is just pretentious |;-)|.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\mdwhook}
% After all the declarations in |mdwtools.tex|, the command |\mdwhook| is
% executed, if it exists.  This can be set up by the configuration file
% to do whatever you want.
%
% There are lots of other things you can play with; you should look at the
% implementation section to see what's possible.
%
% \implementation
%
% \section{Implementation}
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*mdwtools>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The first thing is that I'm not a \LaTeX\ package or anything official
% like that, so I must enable `|@|' as a letter by hand.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\makeatletter
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now input the user's configuration file, if it exists.  This is fairly
% simple stuff.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@input{mdwtools.cfg}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Well, that's the easy bit done.
%
%
% \subsection{Initialisation}
%
% Obviously the first thing to do is to obtain a document class.  Obviously,
% it would be silly to do this if a document class has already been loaded,
% either by the package documentation or by the configuration file.
%
% The only way I can think of for finding out if a document class is already
% loaded is by seeing if the |\documentclass| command has been redefined
% to raise an error.  This isn't too hard, really.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\documentclass\@twoclasseserror\else
  \documentclass[a4paper]{ltxdoc}
  \ifx\doneclasses\mdw@undefined\else\doneclasses\fi
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% As part of my standard environment, I'll load some of my more useful
% packages.  If they're already loaded (possibly with different options),
% I'll not try to load them again.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifpackageloaded{doc}{}{\usepackage{doc}}
\@ifpackageloaded{syntax}{}{\usepackage[rounded]{syntax}}
\@ifpackageloaded{sverb}{}{\usepackage{sverb}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Some macros for interaction}
%
% I like the \LaTeX\ star-boxes, although it's a pain having to cope with
% \TeX's space-handling rules.  I'll define a new typing-out macro which
% makes spaces more significant, and has a $*$-version which doesn't put
% a newline on the end, and interacts prettily with |\read|.
%
% First of all, I need to make spaces active, so I can define things about
% active spaces.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begingroup\obeyspaces
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now to define the main macro.  This is easy stuff.  Spaces must be
% carefully rationed here, though.
%
% I'll start a group, make spaces active, and make spaces expand to ordinary
% space-like spaces.  Then I'll look for a star, and pass either |\message|
% (which doesn't start a newline, and interacts with |\read| well) or
% |\immediate\write 16| which does a normal write well.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\gdef\mdwtype{%
\begingroup\catcode`\ \active\let \space%
\@ifstar{\mdwtype@i{\message}}{\mdwtype@i{\immediate\write\sixt@@n}}%
}
\endgroup
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now for the easy bit.  I have the thing to do, and the thing to do it to,
% so do that and end the group.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\mdwtype@i#1#2{#1{#2}\endgroup}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Decide on indexing}
%
% A configuration file can decide on indexing by defining the |\indexing|
% macro to either \lit{y} or \lit{n}.  If it's not set, then I'll prompt
% the user.
%
% First of all, I want a switch to say whether I'm indexing.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifcreateindex
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Right: now I need to decide how to make progress.  If the macro's not set,
% then I want to set it, and start a row of stars.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifx\indexing\@@undefined
  \mdwtype{*****************************}
  \def\indexing{?}
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now enter a loop, asking the user whether to do indexing, until I get
% a sensible answer.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\loop
  \@tempswafalse
  \if y\indexing\@tempswatrue\createindextrue\fi
  \if Y\indexing\@tempswatrue\createindextrue\fi
  \if n\indexing\@tempswatrue\createindexfalse\fi
  \if N\indexing\@tempswatrue\createindexfalse\fi
  \if@tempswa\else
  \mdwtype*{* Create index files? (y/n) *}
  \read\sixt@@n to\indexing%
\repeat
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now, based on the results of that, display a message about the indexing.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\mdwtype{*****************************}
\ifcreateindex
  \mdwtype{* Creating index files      *}
  \mdwtype{* This may take some time   *}
\else
  \mdwtype{* Not creating index files  *}
\fi
\mdwtype{*****************************}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now I can play with the indexing commands of the \package{doc} package
% to do whatever it is that the user wants.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ifcreateindex
  \CodelineIndex
  \EnableCrossrefs
\else
  \CodelineNumbered
  \DisableCrossrefs
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% And register lots of plain \TeX\ things which shouldn't be indexed.
% This contains lots of |\if|\dots\ things which don't fit nicely in
% conditionals, which is a shame.  Still, it doesn't matter that much,
% really.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DoNotIndex{\def,\long,\edef,\xdef,\gdef,\let,\global}
\DoNotIndex{\if,\ifnum,\ifdim,\ifcat,\ifmmode,\ifvmode,\ifhmode,%
            \iftrue,\iffalse,\ifvoid,\ifx,\ifeof,\ifcase,\else,\or,\fi}
\DoNotIndex{\box,\copy,\setbox,\unvbox,\unhbox,\hbox,%
            \vbox,\vtop,\vcenter}
\DoNotIndex{\@empty,\immediate,\write}
\DoNotIndex{\egroup,\bgroup,\expandafter,\begingroup,\endgroup}
\DoNotIndex{\divide,\advance,\multiply,\count,\dimen}
\DoNotIndex{\relax,\space,\string}
\DoNotIndex{\csname,\endcsname,\@spaces,\openin,\openout,%
            \closein,\closeout}
\DoNotIndex{\catcode,\endinput}
\DoNotIndex{\jobname,\message,\read,\the,\m@ne,\noexpand}
\DoNotIndex{\hsize,\vsize,\hskip,\vskip,\kern,\hfil,\hfill,\hss}
\DoNotIndex{\m@ne,\z@,\z@skip,\@ne,\tw@,\p@}
\DoNotIndex{\dp,\wd,\ht,\vss,\unskip}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Last bit of indexing stuff, for now: I'll typeset the index in two columns
% (the default is three, which makes them too narrow for my tastes).
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\setcounter{IndexColumns}{2}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Selectively defining things}
%
% I don't want to tread on anyone's toes if they redefine any of these
% commands and things in a configuration file.  The following definitions
% are fairly evil, but should do the job OK.
%
% \begin{macro}{\@gobbledef}
%
% This macro eats the following |\def|inition, leaving not a trace behind.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\@gobbledef#1#{\@gobble}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\tdef}
% \begin{macro}{\tlet}
%
% The |\tdef| command is a sort of `tentative' definition -- it's like
% |\def| if the control sequence named doesn't already have a definition.
% |\tlet| does the same thing with |\let|.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\tdef#1{
  \ifx#1\@@undefined%
    \expandafter\def\expandafter#1%
  \else%
    \expandafter\@gobbledef%
  \fi%
}
\def\tlet#1#2{\ifx#1\@@undefined\let#1=#2\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
% \end{macro}
%
%
% \subsection{General markup things}
%
% Now for some really simple things.  I'll define how to typeset package
% names and environment names (both in the sans serif font, for now).
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tlet\package\textsf
\tlet\env\textsf
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% I'll define the |\<|\dots|>| shortcut for syntax items suggested in the
% \package{syntax} package.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tdef\<#1>{\synt{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% And because it's used in a few places (mainly for typesetting lengths),
% here's a command for typesetting fractions in text.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tdef\smallf#1/#2{\ensuremath{^{#1}\!/\!_{#2}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{A table environment}
%
% \begin{environment}{tab}
%
% Most of the packages don't use the (obviously perfect) \package{mdwtab}
% package, because it's big, and takes a while to load.  Here's an
% environment for typesetting centred tables.  The first (optional) argument
% is some declarations to perform.  The mandatory argument is the table
% preamble (obviously).
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifundefined{tab}{%
  \newenvironment{tab}[2][\relax]{%
    \par\vskip2ex%
    \centering%
    #1%
    \begin{tabular}{#2}%
  }{%
    \end{tabular}%
    \par\vskip2ex%
  }
}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{environment}
%
%
% \subsection{Commenting out of stuff}
%
% \begin{environment}{meta-comment}
%
% Using |\iffalse|\dots|\fi| isn't much fun.  I'll define a gobbling
% environment using the \package{sverb} stuff.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\ignoreenv{meta-comment}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{environment}
%
%
% \subsection{Float handling}
%
% This gubbins will try to avoid float pages as much as possible, and (with
% any luck) encourage floats to be put on the same pages as text.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\textfraction{0.1}
\def\topfraction{0.9}
\def\bottomfraction{0.9}
\def\floatpagefraction{0.7}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now redefine the default float-placement parameters to allow `here' floats.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\fps@figure{htbp}
\def\fps@table{htbp}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Other bits of parameter tweaking}
%
% Make \env{grammar} environments look pretty, by indenting the left hand
% sides by a large amount.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\grammarindent1in
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% I don't like being told by \TeX\ that my paragraphs are hard to linebreak:
% I know this already.  This lot should shut \TeX\ up about most problems.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\sloppy
\hbadness\@M
\hfuzz10\p@
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Also make \TeX\ shut up in the index.  The \package{multicol} package
% irritatingly plays with |\hbadness|.  This is the best hook I could find
% for playing with this setting.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\expandafter\def\expandafter\IndexParms\expandafter{%
  \IndexParms%
  \hbadness\@M%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The other thing I really don't like is `Marginpar moved' warnings.  This
% will get rid of them, and lots of other \LaTeX\ warnings at the same time.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\@latex@warning@no@line\@gobble
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Put some extra space between table rows, please.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\arraystretch{1.2}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Most of the code is at guard level one, so typeset that in upright text.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\setcounter{StandardModuleDepth}{1}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Contents handling}
%
% I use at least one contents file (the main table of contents) although
% I may want more.  I'll keep a list of contents files which I need to
% handle.
%
% There are two things I need to do to contents files here:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item I must typeset the table of contents at the beginning of the
%       document; and
% \item I want to typeset tables of contents in two columns (using the
%       \package{multicol} package).
% \end{itemize}
%
% The list consists of items of the form
% \syntax{"\\do{"<extension>"}{"<command>"}"}, where \<extension> is the
% file extension of the contents file, and \<command> is the command to
% typeset it.
%
% \begin{macro}{\docontents}
%
% This is where I keep the list of contents files.  I'll initialise it to
% just do the standard contents table.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\docontents{\do{toc}{\tableofcontents}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\addcontents}
%
% By saying \syntax{"\\addcontents{"<extension>"}{"<command>"}"}, a document
% can register a new table of contents which gets given the two-column
% treatment properly.  This is really easy to implement.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\addcontents#1#2{%
  \toks@\expandafter{\docontents\do{#1}{#2}}%
  \edef\docontents{\the\toks@}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
%
% \subsection{Finishing it all off}
%
% \begin{macro}{\finalstuff}
%
% The |\finalstuff| macro is a hook for doing things at the end of the
% document.  Currently, it inputs the licence agreement as an appendix.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tdef\finalstuff{\appendix\part*{Appendix}\input{gpl}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\implementation}
%
% The |\implementation| macro starts typesetting the implementation of
% the package(s).  If we're not doing the implementation, it just does
% this lot and ends the input file.
%
% I define a macro with arguments inside the |\StopEventually|, which causes
% problems, since the code gets put through an extra level of |\def|fing
% depending on whether the implementation stuff gets typeset or not.  I'll
% store the code I want to do in a separate macro.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\implementation{\StopEventually{\attheend}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now for the actual activity.  First, I'll do the |\finalstuff|.  Then, if
% \package{doc}'s managed to find the \package{multicol} package, I'll add
% the end of the environment to the end of each contents file in the list.
% Finally, I'll read the index in from its formatted |.ind| file.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tdef\attheend{%
  \finalstuff%
  \ifhave@multicol%
    \def\do##1##2{\addtocontents{##1}{\protect\end{multicols}}}%
    \docontents%
  \fi%
  \PrintIndex%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
%
% \subsection{File version information}
%
% \begin{macro}{\mdwpkginfo}
%
% For setting up the automatic titles, I'll need to be able to work out
% file versions and things.  This macro will, given a file name, extract
% from \LaTeX\ the version information and format it into a sensible string.
%
% First of all, I'll put the original string (direct from the
% |\Provides|\dots\ command).  Then I'll pass it to another macro which can
% parse up the string into its various bits, along with the original
% filename.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\mdwpkginfo#1{%
  \edef\@tempa{\csname ver@#1\endcsname}%
  \expandafter\mdwpkginfo@i\@tempa\@@#1\@@%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now for the real business.  I'll store the string I build in macros called

% \subsection{List handling}
%
% There are several other lists I need to build.  These macros will do

%
% \begin{macro}{\mdw@ifitem}
%
% The macro \syntax{"\\mdw@ifitem"<item>"\\in"<list>"{"<true-text>"}"^^A
% "{"<false-text>"}"} does \<true-text> if the \<item> matches any item in
% the \<list>; otherwise it does \<false-text>.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}

}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\mdw@append}

% to the end of the given \<list>.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\mdw@append#1\to#2{%

% \end{macro}
%
%
% \subsection{Described file handling}
%
% I'l maintain lists of packages, document classes, and other files
% described by the current documentation file.
%
% First of all, I'll declare the various list macros.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\dopackages{}
\def\doclasses{}
\def\dootherfiles{}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\describespackage}
%
% A document file can declare that it describes a package by saying
% \syntax{"\\describespackage{"<package-name>"}"}.  I add the package to
% my list, read the package into memory (so that the documentation can
% offer demonstrations of it) and read the version information.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\describespackage#1{%
  \mdw@ifitem#1\in\dopackages{}{%
    \mdw@append#1\to\dopackages%
    \usepackage{#1}%
    \mdwpkginfo{#1.sty}%
  }%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\describesclass}
%
% By saying \syntax{"\\describesclass{"<class-name>"}"}, a document file
% can declare that it describes a document class.  I'll assume that the
% document class is already loaded, because it's much too late to load
% it now.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\describesclass#1{\mdw@add#1\to\doclasses\mdwpkginfo{#1.cls}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\describesfile}
%
% Finally, other `random' files, which don't have the status of real \LaTeX\
% packages or document classes, can be described by saying \syntax{^^A
% "\\describesfile{"<file-name>"}" or "\\describesfile*{"<file-name>"}"}.
% The difference is that the starred version will not |\input| the file.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\describesfile{%
  \@ifstar{\describesfile@i\@gobble}{\describesfile@i\input}%
}
\def\describesfile@i#1#2{%
  \mdw@ifitem#2\in\dootherfiles{}{%
    \mdw@add#2\to\dootherfiles%
    #1{#2}%
    \mdwpkginfo{#2}%
  }%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
%
% \subsection{Author and title handling}
%
% I'll redefine the |\author| and |\title| commands so that I get told
% whether I need to do it myself.
%
% \begin{macro}{\author}
%
% This is easy: I'll save the old meaning, and then redefine |\author| to
% do the old thing and redefine itself to then do nothing.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\mdw@author\author
\def\author{\let\author\@gobble\mdw@author}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\title}
%
% And oddly enough, I'll do exactly the same thing for the title, except
% that I'll also disable the |\mdw@buildtitle| command, which constructs
% the title automatically.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let\mdw@title\title
\def\title{\let\title\@gobble\let\mdw@buildtitle\relax\mdw@title}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\date}
%
% This works in a very similar sort of way.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\date#1{\let\date\@gobble\def\today{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\datefrom}
%
% Saying \syntax{"\\datefrom{"<file-name>"}"} sets the document date from
% the given filename.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\datefrom#1{%
  \protected@edef\@tempa{\noexpand\date{\csname #1date\endcsname}}%
  \@tempa%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\docfile}
%
% Saying \syntax{"\\docfile{"<file-name>"}"} sets up the file name from which
% documentation will be read.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\docfile#1{%
  \def\@tempa##1.##2\@@{\def\@basefile{##1.##2}\def\@basename{##1}}%
  \edef\@tempb{\noexpand\@tempa#1\noexpand\@@}%
  \@tempb%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% I'll set up a default value as well.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\docfile{\jobname.dtx}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \end{macro}
%
%
% \subsection{Building title strings}
%
% This is rather tricky.  For each list, I need to build a legible looking
% string.
%
% \begin{macro}{\mdw@addtotitle}
%
% By saying
%\syntax{"\\mdw@addtotitle{"<list>"}{"<command>"}{"<singular>"}{"<plural>"}"}
% I can add the contents of a list to the current title string in the
% |\mdw@title| macro.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tdef\mdw@addtotitle#1#2#3#4{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now to get to work.  I need to keep one `lookahead' list item, and a count
% of the number of items read so far.  I'll keep the lookahead item in
% |\@nextitem| and the counter in |\count@|.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \count@\z@%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now I'll define what to do for each list item.  The |\protect| command is
% already set up appropriately for playing with |\edef| commands.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \def\do##1{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% The first job is to add the previous item to the title string.  If this
% is the first item, though, I'll just add the appropriate \lit{The } or
% \lit{ and the } string to the title (this is stored in the |\@prefix|
% macro).
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \edef\mdw@title{%
      \mdw@title%
      \ifcase\count@\@prefix%
      \or\@nextitem%
      \else, \@nextitem%
      \fi%
    }%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% That was rather easy.  Now I'll set up the |\@nextitem| macro for the
% next time around the loop.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \edef\@nextitem{%
      \protect#2{##1}%
      \protect\footnote{%
        The \protect#2{##1} #3 is currently at version %
        \mdwfileinfo{##1}{version}, dated \mdwfileinfo{##1}{date}.%
      }\space%
    }%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Finally, I need to increment the counter.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \advance\count@\@ne%
  }%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now execute the list.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
  #1%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% I still have one item left over, unless the list was empty.  I'll add
% that now.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \edef\mdw@title{%
    \mdw@title%
    \ifcase\count@%
    \or\@nextitem\space#3%
    \or\ and \@nextitem\space#4%
    \else,\ and \@nextitem\space#4%
    \fi%
  }%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Finally, if $|\count@| \ne 0$, I must set |\@prefix| to \lit{ and the }.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}

}
%    \end{macrocode}
