86% \section{Introductory note}
87%
88% \LaTeX\ has a rather cunning encoding handling system, which makes funny
89% commands like accents work properly independent of the current font's
90% actual layout. While this works rather well most of the time, the standard
91% \mtt{tt} font has been rather left out of things. \LaTeX\ assumes that
92% the Computer Modern Typewriter fonts have exactly the same layout as the
93% more normal Computer Modern Roman family (i.e., that both conform to the
94% \mtt{OT1} encoding). This plainly isn't true, since the Typewriter font
95% contains a bunch of standard ASCII characters which are omitted from the
96% standard Computer Modern fonts, such as curly braces \mtt{\{} and \mtt{\}},
97% and the backslash \mtt{\\}; these are usually dug up from the maths fonts,
98% which looks fine in normal text, but looks really odd in monospace text.
99% Compare `\texttt{\textbackslash begin\{document\}}' to
100% `\mtt{\\begin\{document\}}', for example.
101%
102% There are two possibilities for dealing with this problem. One is to use
103% the \mtt{\\verb} command, which works since all the extra characters in
104% the Typewriter font are in the correct places, or use the DC~fonts, which
105% have a proper encoding set up which contains all of these special
106% characters anyway.
107%
108% Neither of these solutions is perfect. Using \mtt{\\verb} causes all
109% manner of little niggly problems: you can't use it in footnotes or
110% section headings, for example. (There are of course workarounds for this
111% sort of thing: the author's \package{footnote} package provides a
112% \env{footnote} environment which will allow verbatim text, and verbatim
113% text in section headings can be achieved if one is sufficiently
114% \TeX nical.) Using the DC~fonts is fine, although you actually lose a
115% glyph or two. As far as the author is aware, the character \mtt{\'} (an
116% `unsexed' single quote) is not present in the \mtt{T1}-encoded version of
117% Computer Modern Typewriter, although it is hidden away in the original
118% version. The author has found a need for this character in computer
119% listings, and was horrified to discover that it was replaced by a German
120% single quote character (\mtt{\\quotesinglbase}).
121%
122% This package defines a special encoding for the Computer Modern Typewriter
123% font, so that documents can take advantage of its ASCII characters without
124% resorting to verbatim text. (The main advantage of the DC~fonts, that
125% words containing accents can be hyohenated, doesn't really apply to the
126% Typewriter font, since it doesn't allow hyphenation by default anyway.)
127%
128% There are several files you'll need to create:
129% \begin{description} \def\makelabel#1{\hskip\labelsep\mttfamily#1\hfil}
130%
131% \item [cmtt.sty] tells \LaTeX\ that there's a new encoding. It also
132% provides some options for customising some aspects of the
133% encoding, and defines some useful commands.
134%
af8e5527 135% \item [mttenc.def] describes the encoding to \LaTeX: it sets up all the
86f6a31e 136% appropriate text commands so that they produce beautiful results.
137%
af8e5527 138% \item [mttcmtt.fd] describes the re-encoded version of the font. this
139% is more or less a copy of the file \mtt{ot1cmtt.fd}.
86f6a31e 140%
141% \end{description}
142%
143% The package accepts some options which may be useful:
144% \begin{description} \def\makelabel#1{\hskip\labelsep\sffamily#1\hfil}
145%
146% \item [override] overrides the meaning of the \mtt{\\ttfamily} command
147% (and therefore also the \mtt{\\texttt} command too), making it the
148% same as the new \mtt{\\mttfamily} command. This isn't the default
149% just in case the change breaks something in an unexpected way.
150%
151% \item [t1] informs the package that you're using the \mtt{T1} encoding,
152% and therefore can borrow some accented characters from the DC~version
153% of Computer Modern Typewriter. This will probably be unnecessary,
154% since the package attempts to work out what to do all by itself.
155%
156% \item [ot1] forces the package \emph{not} to use the DC~version of the
157% Computer Modern Typewriter font for funny accents. Only use this
158% option if the package thinks it should use the DC~Typewriter font
159% when it shouldn't.
160%
161% \end{description}
162%
163% \DescribeMacro{\mttfamily}
164% The command \mtt{\\mttfamily} selects the properly-encoded Typewriter
165% font. It's a declaration which works just like the \mtt{\\ttfamily}
166% command, except that comamnds like \mtt{\\\}} and \mtt{\\\_} use the
167% characters from the font rather than choosing odd-looking versions from
168% the maths fonts. All of the accent commands still work properly. In fact,
169% some accent commands which didn't work before have been fixed. For
170% example, saying `\mtt{\\texttt\{P\\'al Erd\\H os\}}' would produce
171% something truly appalling like `\texttt{P\'al Erd\H os}', which is
172% obviously ghastly. The new encoding handles this properly, and produces
173% `\textmtt{P\'al Erd\H os}'.\footnote{
174% This isn't quite perfect. The accent, which isn't actually present in
175% the Typewriter font, is taken from the Computer Modern bold font, but
176% it doesn't look too bad. However, if you pass the option \textsf{t1}
177% to the \package{cmtt} package when you load it, the accent will be taken
178% from the DC~Typewriter font, and it will look totally wonderful.}
179%
180% \DescribeMacro{\textmtt}
181% Font changing commands are much more convenient than th declarations,
182% so a command \mtt{\\textmtt} is provided: it just typesets its argument
183% in the re-encoded Typewriter font.
184%
185% \DescribeMacro{\mtt}
186% Rather more excitingly, the \mtt{\\mtt} command allows you to generate
187% almost-verbatim text very easily, without any of the restrictions of
188% the \mtt{\\verb} command. This command was inspired by something which
189% David Carlisle said to me in an email correspondence regarding the
190% overuse of verbatim commands.
191%
192% \mtt{\\mtt} redefines several `short' commands to typeset the obvious
193% characters. The complete list is shown below: there are some oddities,
194% so watch out.
195%
196% ^^A This is an evil table. See if I care. (This is based on lots of
197% ^^A hacking I did in glyphs.tex, but a good deal less horrible.)

199% \medskip
200% \hbox to \hsize\bgroup
201% \hfil\vbox\bgroup
202% \def\ex#1#2{\strut

204% \mtt{\\\char`#2}\quad\hfil%
205% \mtt{#2}\enskip}
206% \def\h{\noalign{\hrule}}
207% \def\v{height2pt&\omit&&\omit&&\omit&&\omit&&\omit&\cr}

214% \egroup\egroup
215% \hfil\egroup
216% \medskip
217%
218% As well as redefining these commands, \mtt{\\mtt} will endeavour to make
219% single special characters display themselves in a verbatim-like way. This
220% only works on `active' characters (like \mtt{~}), and \mtt{\\mtt} makes
221% no attempt to change the category codes of any characters.
222%
223% Among other things, you'll probably noticed that several accent-making
224% commands have been redefined. You can still use these accents through
225% the \mtt{\\a} command, by saying \mtt{\\a'}, \mtt{\\a\^} and so on,
226% as in the \env{tabbing} environment.
227%
228% There are also some oddities in the table: \mtt{\|} and \mtt{\"} can be
229% accessed easily without playing with silly commands. Well, that's almost
230% the case: these two characters are both often used as `short' verbatim
231% commands, so they are forced back to their normal meanings so you can
232% type them.
233%
234% Finally, a word on spacing. The \mtt{\\\ } command has been hijacked
235% to produce a funny `visible space' character. You can still produce
236% multiple spaces by saying something like `\mtt{\ \{\}\ \{\}}\dots\mtt{\ }',
237% which is a bit contrived, but that's tough. Also, \mtt{~} has been stolen
238% so that you can type \mtt{~} characters (e.g., in URLs), so the only
239% way you can tpye a nonbreaking space is by using the \mtt{\\nobreakspace}
240% command, which is a bit of a mouthful. There's an abbreviation, though:
241% \mtt{\\nbsp} now means exactly the same thing.
242%
243% Was that not all supremely useful? Oh, just a note: this document doesn't
244% use a single verbatim command or environment (except in the listings,
245% where it's unavoidable) -- it's all done with \mtt{\\mtt}.

276% \end{macrocode}
277%
278% Wait: there's a problem. \LaTeX\ will now complain bitterly that it can't
af8e5527 279% find the font \mtt{mTT/cmr/m/n}, which is reasonable, since I haven't
86f6a31e 280% declared any such font. The following line should sort this out,

283\DeclareFontSubstitution{mTT}{cmtt}{m}{n}
284% \end{macrocode}
285%
286% Now I'd better load all the text commands I'll need when in this funny

296% Finally, I'll need to define a command which switches to this funny font,

313\ifcmtt@override
314 \let\ttfamily\mttfamily

316% \end{macrocode}
317%
318% Well, that's all that's needed for the font definition. Here's a command
319% which will typeset its argument in the typewriter font, allowing easy
320% access to all the funny characters, and printing them properly in the
321% correct font (which \mtt{\\\{} doesn't do, for example).
322%
323% \begin{macro}{\mtt@setchar}
324%
325% This macro assigns the given meaning to the given control sequence. Also,

456% \subsection{The encoding definitions file}
457%
458% I've saved the trickiest bit until last. This file defines the mappings
459% from text commands to glyphs in the font.
460%
461% \begin{macrocode}
462%<*def>
463% \end{macrocode}
464%
465% First for some fun with accents. The |cmtt| font doesn't contain all of
466% the accents which the other Computer Modern fonts do, because those slots
467% contain the standard ASCII characters which usually have to be `borrowed'
468% from the maths fonts.
469%
470% Anyway, there's a load which don't need any special treatment. These are
471% chosen from the \mtt{OT1} encoding by default anyway, so I needn't
472% bother unless I'm really bothered about speed. I'm not, so I'll save
473% the memory.
474%
475% Following the example of the \TeX book, I'll use the bold roman font
476% for accents, so that they don't look really spindly. This is actually
477% remarkably difficult to do, because the \textsf{NFSS} keeps getting in
478% the way. I'll look after the old font name in a macro (it's handy that
479% \textsf{NFSS} maintains this for me) and change to a known font, do the
480% accent, change font back again, do the argument to the accent, and then
481% close the group I did all of this in, so that no-one else notices what a

503% The `under' accents are all OK, so I shan't bother to define them either.
504% Similarly, lots of the text symbol commands are fine as they are by
505% default and I don't need to try and define them again.

507% This, then, is the remaining commands which really need sorting out.
508% (By the way, the only reason I've redefined \mtt{\\textellipsis} is
509% because otherwise it will mess up the nice monospacing.)
