76 % \section{User guide}
77 %
78 % The \package{sverb} package provides some useful commands and environments
79 % for doing things with verbatim text. I prefer this code to the standard
80 % \package{verbatim} package (by Rainer Sch\"opf et al.)\ although I'm
81 % biased.
82 %
83 % The package was written to fulfil a particular purpose: I wanted to be able
84 % to typeset ARM assembler code, 77~columns wide, on A5~paper, with the
85 % fields separated by \textit{tab} characters. It's grown up fairly
86 % organically from that, and I've tidied it when I've seen the code get too
87 % ugly.
88 %
89 % The current features are:
90 %
91 % \begin{itemize}
92 %
93 % \item A `listing' environment which typesets verbatim text nicely.
94 %
95 % \item A command to read verbatim text from an external file.
96 %
97 % \item Support for arbitrary-sized chunks of text without overflowing \TeX's
98 % memory.
99 %
100 % \item Support for \textit{tab} characters in the verbatim text.
101 %
102 % \item An environment for typesetting demonstrations of \LaTeX\ markup.
103 %
104 % \item It all works correctly with the \package{doc} system for documenting
105 % \LaTeX\ packages.
106 %
107 % \item A fairly hairy but quite powerful programmer interface to the yukky
108 % bits of the package.
109 %
110 % \end{itemize}
111 %
112 % The interface is described in its own section, so that more timid readers
113 % can avoid it. That said, some of the stuff in this section gets rather
114 % technical.
115 %
116 % Note that this package doesn't even try to do anything with short bits of
117 % verbatim text (as handled by the |\verb:...:| command). I have a separate
118 % package (\package{syntax}) which does all sorts of horrible things along
119 % those lines.
120 %
121 % \subsection{The \env{listing} environment}
122 %
123 % \DescribeEnv{listing}
124 % The main method for typesetting verbatim text is the \env{listing}
125 % environment. This works pretty much the same as the standard
126 % \env{verbatim} environment, with some exceptions, which are described
127 % below.
128 %
129 % So that you know exactly what you're getting, here are the rules by which
130 % \package{sverb} decides what the verbatim text actually is:
131 %
132 % \begin{itemize}
133 %
134 % \item If there's any text, other than spaces, on the same line as the
135 % `|\begin{listing}|', then the contents of the environment begins
136 % immediately after the closing brace (with all leading spaces
137 % preserved). Otherwise, the text begins on the following line.
138 %
139 % \item If there is any text, other than spaces, before the
140 % `|\end{listing}|', but on the same line, this is considered to be the
141 % last line of the text; otherwise the text is presumed to have ended
142 % at the end of the previous line.
143 %
144 % \item Any text following the |\end{listing}| on the same line is thrown
145 % away. There are good reasons for this, but they're technical.
146 % Essentially there's nothing I can do about it.
147 %
148 % \end{itemize}
149 %
150 % \begin{figure}
151 % \begin{demo}[w]{The \env{listing} environment}
152 %\dots in the following code:
153 %
154 %\begin{listing}
155 %init MOV R0,#200 ;Version 2.00 please
156 % LDR R1,=&4B534154 ;Magic number (`TASK')
157 % ADR R2,appName ;Find application name
158 % SWI Wimp_Initialise ;Register as a WIMP task
159 %\end{listing}
160 %
161 %The next step is to \dots
162 % \end{demo}
163 % \end{figure}
164 %
165 % Tab characters are supported within the environment: tab stops are set
166 % every eighth column, although this can be modified.
167 %
168 % \subsubsection{Configuring the \env{listing} environment}
169 %
170 % The text size used in the \env{listing} environment is set by the
171 % |\listingsize| command. By default, this is set to |\small|, although you
172 % can redefine it in the document preamble, or it can be set in the document
173 % class.
174 %
175 % The amount by which the listing text is indented is controlled by the
176 % |\listingindent| length parameter. This is a fixed length, whose default
177 % value is 1\,em.
178 %
179 % \subsubsection{Choosing a different end-text}
180 %
181 % \DescribeEnv{listing*}
182 % The \env{listing} environment is terminated by the exact character sequence
183 % `|\end{listing}|'. This isn't too much of a problem, unless you want to
184 % include this string in the text. This is achieved by the \env{listing$*$}
185 % environment, which allows you to specify the end-text to find as an
186 % argument.
187 %
188 % For example:
189 %
190 % \begin{demo}{The \env{listing$*$} environment}
191 %Type a listing as follows:
192 %
193 %\begin{listing*}{<end-listing*>}
194 %\begin{listing}
195 %This is a listing. Yes.
196 %\end{listing}
197 %<end-listing*>
198 %\end{demo}
199 %
200 % Don't include `special' characters in your chosen end-text unless you know
201 % what you're doing.
202 %
203 % \subsection{Writing text to a file}
204 %
205 % \DescribeEnv{verbwrite}
206 % You can write verbatim text to a file using the \env{verbwrite}
207 % environment. The syntax is fairly straightforward:
208 %
209 % \begin{quote}
210 % \syntax{"\\begin{verbwrite}{"<file-name>"}" \dots "\\end{verbwrite}"}
211 % \end{quote}
212 %
213 % The text of the environment is written to the named file. The rules about
214 % where the text actually starts and ends are the same as for the
215 % \env{listing} environment.
216 %
217 % There is also a $*$-variant, like \env{listing$*$}, which allows you to
218 % choose the end-text. The end-text is the first argument, the filename
219 % comes second.
220 %
221 % There is a restriction on the characters you can write to the file: they
222 % must all be considered `printable' by \TeX; otherwise they will be read
223 % back in as `\syntax{"^^"<chars>}' which isn't too good. Unfortunately,
224 % this includes tab characters, so you can't write them.\footnote{^^A
225 % Well, not without doing serious surgery on \TeX\ itself, anyway. }
226 %
227 % \iffalse [Example time... Ho hum. There is evilness here.] \fi
228 %\begin{verbwrite*}{<end-write>}{wrdemo1.tmp}
229 %\begin{verbwrite}{wrdemo.tmp}
230 %This is some text written to
231 %a file near the beginning of
232 %the file.
233 %\end{verbwrite}
234 %<end-write>
235 %
236 % For example: \verbinput{wrdemo1.tmp}
237 %
238 % \input{wrdemo1.tmp} \iffalse [Now build the file ;-) ] \fi
239 %
240 % \subsection{The \cmd\verbinput\ command}
241 %
242 % \DescribeMacro{\verbinput}
243 % You can input a pre-prepared text file exactly as it is in the input using
244 % the |\verbinput| command. The filename is given as an argument. For
245 % example:
246 %
247 % \begin{demo}{The \cmd\verbinput\ command}
248 %\verbinput{wrdemo.tmp}
249 % \end{demo}
250 %
251 % \subsection{The \env{demo} environment}
252 %
253 % Package authors need to document their packages, and it's common to want
254 % to display examples showing the original text and the output side-by-side
255 % (or, when space doesn't permit this, one above the other). Both the
256 % \LaTeX\ book and \textit{The \LaTeX\ Companion} contain such examples.
257 %
258 % The \env{demo} environment allows such displays to be created easily. The
259 % syntax of the environment is as follows:
260 %
261 % \begin{quote}
262 % \syntax{"\\begin{demo}["<shape>"]{"<title>"}" \dots "\\end{demo}"}
263 % \end{quote}
264 %
265 % The optional \synt{shape} argument can be either `|w|' (wide), or `|n|'
266 % (narrow). A `wide' shape places the input and output one above the other,
267 % while the `narrow' shape puts them side-by-side. The default shape is
268 % `narrow'. An attractive border is drawn around the display to finish it
269 % off nicely.
270 %
271 % An example:
272 %
273 %\begin{demo*}{<end-demo>}[w]{The \env{demo} environment}
274 %\begin{demo}{From the \textit{\TeX book}}
275 %\[ \sum_{p\;\rm prime}
276 % f(p) = \int_{t>1}
277 % f(t)\,{\rm d}\pi(t) \]
278 %\end{demo}
279 %<end-demo>
280 %
281 % \DescribeEnv{demo*}
282 % As with the other environments created by this package, there's a
283 % $*$-variant which takes the end-text as an argument.
284 %
285 %
286 % \section{Programmer interface}
287 %
288 % This section describes the publicly available routines provided by the
289 % \package{sverb} package. Routines not described here are libable to be
290 % changed or even removed without warning, so don't use them.
291 %
292 % \subsection{Environment hooks}
293 %
294 % Each of the environments created here works in the same way. For each
295 % environment \env{foo}, there's a main command responsible for doing the
296 % work, called |\sv@foo|. This is given all the arguments of the normal
297 % environment, and two more:
298 %
299 % \begin{itemize}
300 %
301 % \item The `end-text' to search for, which marks the end of the environment.
302 %
303 % \item Some actions to perform after the text has been read and processed.
304 % This allows the calling macro to do some extra actions, like closing
305 % boxes, etc.
306 %
307 % \end{itemize}
308 %
309 % All the environments do is call the main command with appropriate
310 % arguments.
311 %
312 % \subsection{Reading the verbatim text}
313 %
314 % \DescribeMacro{\sv@read}
315 % The main scanning routine is |\sv@read|. It is called with three
316 % arguments:
317 %
318 % \begin{itemize}
319 %
320 % \item The end-text marking the end of the environment.
321 %
322 % \item The name of a macro (which must be a single token) which is called
323 % with a line of text as its single argument. This is given each
324 % line of text which is read from the environment in turn.
325 %
326 % \item A macro, or other sort of action, which is to be done when the text
327 % has been read and processed.
328 %
329 % \end{itemize}
330 %
331 % The macro |\sv@read| assumes that the caller has already made some
332 % provision for removing the category codes of the following text, by either
333 % calling |\@verbatim| or using the construction
334 % \begin{listing}
335 %\let\do=\@makeother
336 %\dospecials
337 % \end{listing}
338 %
339 % \DescribeMacro{\sv@safespc}
340 % Note that any space characters you read using |\sv@read| will be catcoded
341 % as |\active|. Normally this is OK because |\obeyspaces| (or
342 % |\@vobeyspaces|) will be in effect. If you're doing something more exotic,
343 % like writing text to a file or building a command string, you can call
344 % |\sv@safespc| which defines the active-space character to be a normal
345 % whitespace-space when expanded.
346 %
347 % \implementation
348 %
349 % \section{Implementation}
350 %
351 % This section defines several macros and environments which allow verbatim
352 % typing, with a high degree of configurability. OK, so this sort of
353 % thing's been done so often before that it isn't true, but I don't really
354 % care.
355 %
356 % \begin{macrocode}
357 %<*package>
358 % \end{macrocode}
359 %
360 % \subsection{Simple things}
361 %
362 % To help us build funny macros which involve strange and different category
363 % codes, I'll write some simple macros which I can use while building my
364 % complicated and clever ones.
365 %
366 % \begin{macro}{\@cspecials}
367 %
368 % This macro is used to assist the definition of some of the environments.
369 % It makes `|\|', `|{|' and `|}|' into `other' characters, and replaces them
370 % with `\verb"|"', `|<|' and `|>|' respectively. Note that `|[|' and `|]|'
371 % aren't used, because they make defining commands which take optional
372 % arguments awkward. Note that we open a group here. This should be closed
373 % using \verb"|endgroup" at the end of the special section.
374 %
375 % \begin{macrocode}
376 \def\@cspecials{%
377 \begingroup%
378 \catcode`|0%
379 \catcode`<1%
380 \catcode`>2%
381 \catcode`\{12%
382 \catcode`\}12%
383 \catcode`\\12%
384 }
385 % \end{macrocode}
386 % \end{macro}
387 %
388 % \begin{macro}{\sv@startlisting}
389 %
390 % This macro sets everything up nicely for a \env{listing}-type verbatim
391 % environment.
392 %
393 % \begin{macrocode}
394 \def\sv@startlisting{%

410 % \end{macrocode}
411 %
412 % \end{macro}
413 %
414 % \subsection{Tab character handling}
415 %
416 % One of the things we want to do here is handle tab characters properly.
417 % (Here, `properly' means `moving to the next column which is a multiple of
418 % eight', the way these things were always meant to.)
419 %
420 % \begin{macro}{\settabwidth}
421 %
422 % The tabs used by our tabbed verbatim environments are set up by this
423 % routine. It sets the tab width parameter |\svtab| to 8 times the width
424 % of a |\tt| space. If you really want, you can redefine this macro.
425 %
426 % \begin{macrocode}
427 \newdimen\svtab
428 \def\settabwidth{\setbox\z@\hbox{\texttt{\space}}\svtab8\wd\z@}
429 % \end{macrocode}
430 %
431 % \end{macro}
432 %
433 % \begin{macro}{\sv@vtab}
434 %
435 % Here we handle tabs inside verbatim environments. We expect each line to
436 % be typeset as a box, using something like
437 %
438 % \begin{listing}
439 %\setbox0\hbox{#1}
440 %\leavevmode
441 %\box0
442 %\par
443 % \end{listing}
444 %
445 % The idea is that you make tab active, and set it to this macro. We stop
446 % the current box, stretch it to the right width, and start another one
447 % straight after, so nobody know the difference. The code here is straight
448 % from Appendix~D of \textit{The \TeX book}.
449 %
450 % \begin{macrocode}
451 \def\sv@vtab{%
452 \hfill\egroup%
453 \@tempdima\wd\z@%
454 \divide\@tempdima\svtab%
455 \multiply\@tempdima\svtab%
456 \advance\@tempdima\svtab%
457 \wd\z@\@tempdima%
458 \leavevmode\box\z@%
459 \setbox\z@\hbox\bgroup%
460 }
461 % \end{macrocode}
462 %
463 % \end{macro}
464 %
465 % \begin{macro}{\verbinput}
466 %
467 % We allow input from a file, by the |\verbinput| command. We display the
468 % text pretty much the same as the \env{listing} environment below.
469 %
470 % We set tab and return active, and get them to do appropriate things. This
471 % isn't actually all that hard.
472 %
473 % \begin{macrocode}
474 \def\verbinput#1{%
475 \begin{listinglist}%
476 \listingsize%
477 \sv@startlisting%
478 \setbox\z@\hbox\bgroup%

480 \sv@stripspc%
481 \egroup%

483 \ifhmode\par\fi%
484 \else%
485 \leavevmode\box\z@\par%
486 \fi%
487 \end{listinglist}%
488 }
489 % \end{macrocode}
490 %
491 % \end{macro}
492 %
493 % \begin{macro}{\vinput@cr}
494 %
495 % This macro handles return characters while inputting text in |\verbinput|.
496 % We just output our current box, and start another.
497 %
498 % \begin{macrocode}
499 \def\vinput@cr{%
500 \egroup%
501 \leavevmode\box\z@%
502 \par%
503 \setbox\z@\hbox\bgroup%
504 }
505 % \end{macrocode}
506 %
507 % \end{macro}
508 %
509 % \subsection{Reading verbatim text}
510 %
511 % The traditional way of reading verbatim text is to use a delimited
512 % argument, as described in the \textit{\TeX book}. This works well-ish if
513 % the text isn't very long. A better solution would be to pick out the text
514 % line-by-line and process it like that. So this is what we do.
515 %
516 % \begin{macro}{\matcher}
517 %
518 % For long verbatim environments, we need to be able to find the end text.
519 % This is rather tricky. The solution here is rather horrible. The
520 % environment picks out each line of the text at a time, as an argument, and
521 % tests to see if it contains the text we're after. We do the test in a
522 % particularly yukky way: we add the actual target text to the end of the
523 % line, and inspect the text following the match to see if the match is at
524 % the end.
525 %
526 % The |\matcher| macro creates a `matcher' which will test strings to see if
527 % they contain something interesting.
528 %
529 % To create a matcher, say
530 % \syntax{"\\matcher{"<cmd-name>"}{"<target>"}{"<process-cmd>"}"}. The
531 % command \synt{cmd-name} accepts a line of text as an argument and calls
532 % the \synt{process-cmd} with the text of the line before the match, or the
533 % whole lot. It also sets |\@ifmatched| appropriately.
534 %
535 % (Having spent ages coming up with this cruft myself, I found some very
536 % similar, but slightly better, code in Appendix~D. So I've changed mine to
537 % match Donald's. Anyway, credit where it's due: cheers Don.)
538 %
539 % \begin{macrocode}
540 \newif\if@matched
541 \def\matcher#1#2#3{%
542 \expandafter\def\csname\string#1$match\endcsname##1#2##2##3\end{%

632 %
633 % This macro does the main job of reading a chunk of verbatim text. You call

636 % \begin{quote}
637 % \syntax{"\\sv@read{"<end-text>"}{"<process-line-proc>"}{"<end-proc>"}"}

639 %
640 % The \synt{end-text} is the text to find at the end of the `environment': we
641 % stop when we find it.
642 %
643 % The \synt{process-line-proc} is a macro which is passed as an argument each
644 % line which we read from the text.
645 %
646 % The \synt{end-proc} is a macro to call once we've finished reading all of
647 % the text. This can tidy up an environment or close a file or whatever.
648 %
649 % We read the text by picking out newlines using a delimited macro. We have
650 % to be a little clever, because newlines are active in verbatim text.
651 %
652 % We will also strip `|%|' signs off the beginning if the \package{doc}
653 % package is here (\package{doc} tries to play with \LaTeX's verbatim stuff,
654 % and doesn't understand the way we do things).

689 % Most of the job is done by two submacros. I'll define them in terms of
