% \xpackage{keycommand} provides an easy way to define commands or environments
% with optional keys. It provides \cs{newkeycommand} and its relative
% \cs{renewkeycommand}, \cs{newkeyenvironment}, \cs{renewkeyenvironment}
% and \cs{providekeycommand}.
%
% Moreover it is possible to define key-commands using +\def+, +\edef+, +\gdef+ or +\xdef+
% via the +\keycmd+ prefix.
%
% This package requires and is based on the package \xpackage{kvsetkeys} by Heiko Oberdiek.
% It is designed to work with \eTeX{} for the code uses the primives +\unexpanded+ and +\protected+.

% \section{Introduction}
%
% \subsection{User interface}
%
% With \xpackage{keycommand} it becomes very easy to define commands with optional keys.
% Just say:
% \begin{tabbing}
% \qquad\=+\newkeycommand+\=+\CommandWithKeys[kOne=default,+...+][2]{%+\\
% \>\> definition with +\commandkey{kOne}+ etc. +#1+ and +#2}+
% \end{tabbing}
%
% As far as the keys are optional, it is not allowed to have another optional
% parameter in a key-command.
%
% \goodbreak
% \xpackage{keycommand} enables us to define key-environments as well, and provides:
% \begin{center}\begin{tabular}{rll}
% &+\newkeycommand+ & +\renewkeycommand+ \\
% &+\newkeyenvironment+ & +\renewkeyenvironment+ \\
% and:&+\providekeycommand+
% \end{tabular}\end{center}
%
% Moreover, if you need (or prefer) the syntax of +\def+ (or |\gdef|, |\edef|, |\xdef|)
% you shall refer to the section \nameref{subsec:keycmd} (in \nameref{Implementation}).
%
% \begin{declcs}{newkeycommand}\,\M{control sequence}\,\B{key-value list}\,\B{number of args}\,\M{definition}
% \end{declcs}
%
% \xpackage{keycommand} allow \LaTeX{} users to define commands with optional keys in a easy way.
% Better is a small example than a long talking: let's define a command \cs{Rule} whose
% +width+, +thickness+ and +raise+ can be specified as keys.
%
% With \xpackage{keycommand} we just have to say:§
% \begin{tabbing}\label{Rule}
% \,\=+\new+\=+keycommand\Rule[raise=.4ex,width=1em,thick=.4pt][1]{%+\\
% \>\>+\rule[\commandkey{raise}]{\commandkey{width}}{\commandkey{thick}}+\\
% \>\>+#1%+\\
% \>\>+\rule[\commandkey{raise}]{\commandkey{width}}{\commandkey{thick}}}+
% \end{tabbing}
%
% which defines the keys +width+, +thick+ and +raise+ with their default values (if not specified):
% +1em+, +.4pt+ and +.4ex+. Now \cs{Rule} can be used as follow:
% \begin{tabbing}
% \=1:\quad\=+\Rule[width=2em]{hello}+\hskip2cm\=\smex\,\=+width=2em,thick=.4pt,raise=.4ex+\\
% \>2:\>+\Rule[thick=1pt,width=2em]{hello}+\>\smex\>+width=2em,thick=1pt,raise=.4ex+\\
% \>3:\>+\Rule{hello}+\quad \>\smex\>+width=1em,thick=.4pt,raise=.4ex+\\
% \>4:\>+\Rule[thick=2pt,raise=1ex]{hello}+\>\smex\>+width=1em,thick=2pt,raise=1ex+\\
% \> \textit{et c\ae tera}.
% \end{tabbing}
%
% They will produce:
% \begin{tabbing}
% \=1:\quad\=\rule[.4ex]{2em}{.4pt}hello\rule[.4ex]{2em}{.4pt}\\
% \>2:\> \rule[.4ex]{2em}{1pt}hello\rule[.4ex]{2em}{1pt}\\
% \>3:\> \rule[.4ex]{1em}{.4pt}hello\rule[.4ex]{1em}{.4pt}\\
% \>4:\> \rule[1ex]{1em}{2pt}hello\rule[1ex]{1em}{2pt}
% \end{tabbing}
%
% \textsc{Nota bene:} it is also possible to give a key a default value which is the value of another key.
% For example:§
% \quad |\newkeycommand\CmdKey[alpha=hello, beta=\commandkey{alpha}]{|...|}|
%
% When called as: |\CmdKey[alpha=world]|, the key |beta| will then have the same value: |world|.
%
% \begin{declcs}{newkeyenvironment}\,\M{envir name}\,\B{key-values pairs}\,\B{number of args}\,\M{begin}\,\M{end}
% \end{declcs}
%
% In the same way, you may define environments with optional keys as follow:§
% \begin{tabbing}
% \qquad\=+\newkeyenvironment+\=+{EnvirWithKeys}[kOne=+default value,...+][n]+\\
% \>\>+{+ commands at begin +EnvirWithKeys }+ \\
% \>\>+{+ commands at end +EnvirWithKeys }+
% \end{tabbing}
%
% Where $n$ is the number of mandatory other arguments (\emph{ie} without keys), if any.
%
% A example of a key-environment is left in the file: +keycommand-example.tex+.
%
% \subsection{Error messages}
%
% If you use the command +\Rule+ (defined in \ref{Rule}) with a key say: +height+
% that has not been declared at the definition of the key-command, you will get an
% error message like this:
% \begin{quote}\tt
% There was no key ``height''§
% in the keycommand \string\Rule!§
% see the definition of the keycommand.
% \end{quote}
%
% However, if you use +\commandkey{height}+ \textbf{in the definition} of +\Rule+ you
% will not have any error message: +\commandkey{height}+ will just be expanded into +\relax+
% at +\Rule+ expansion time.
%
% \edef\restorespaceskip{\spaceskip\the\spaceskip \xspaceskip\the\xspaceskip}
% \spaceskip=.1em plus.1fil \xspaceskip\spaceskip
% To be honest, when you redefine a key-command using |\renewkeycommand| or
% |\renewkeyenvironment| or |\keycmd\def| the keys defined before for the old command are undefined.
% This way you have the expected error message in all cases.
% \restorespaceskip
%
% \subsection{Test if a key is defined}
%
% When you define a key command you may let the default value of a key empty. Then, you may wish to
% expand some commands only if the key has been given by the user (with a non empty value). This can
% be achieved using the macro |\ifcommandkey|:
%
% \begin{declcs}{ifcommandkey}\,\M{key name}\,\M{commands if key is blank}\,\M{commands if key is NOT blank}
% \end{declcs}

% \section{Implementation} \label{Implementation}
%
% \subsection{Identification}
%
% This package is intended to use with \LaTeX{} so we don't check if it is loaded twice.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}% LaTeX 2.09 can't be used (nor non-LaTeX)
   [2005/12/01]% LaTeX must be 2005/12/01 or younger (see kvsetkeys.dtx).
\ProvidesPackage{keycommand}
   [2009/07/22 v2.e- an easy way to define commands with optional keys]
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Requirements}
%
% The package is based on \xpackage{kvsetkeys}. \xpackage{kvsetkeys} is more
% reliable than \xpackage{keyval} as far as spaces and bracket (groups) are concerned.
% Please refer to the \xpackage{kvsetkeys} documentation for more information.
%
% As long as we use \eTeX{} primitives in \xpackage{keycommand} we also load the
% \xpackage{etex} package in order to get an error message if \eTeX{} is not running.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{etex,kvsetkeys}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Syntactical enhancement}
%
% We will define a shortcut for +\expandafter\noexpand\csname+...+\endcsname+ all along this package.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\edef\kcmd@AtEnd{\catcode34 \the\catcode34}% "
\catcode34 4
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Defining keys}
%
% \begin{macro}{\kcmd@keydef}
% To handle the case where the key-command was defined as +\global+, we have to
% define keys globally too. Therefore, we can't use the +\define@key+ macro of
% the \xpackage{keyval} package.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\kcmd@keydef#1#2#3#4#5{% #1=\global, #2=command, #3=family, #4=key, #5=def
   #1\expandafter\edef\csname kcmd@keys\string#2\endcsname{%
      \csname kcmd@keys\string#2\endcsname,#4}%
   #1\@namedef{KV@#3@#4@default\expandafter}\expandafter{%
      \csname KV@#3@#4\endcsname{#5}}%
   #1\@namedef{KV@#3@#4}##1}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\kcmd@definekey}
% In order to define keys, we will use the +\kv@parse+ macro (\xpackage{kvsetkeys}).
% Therefore, the only requirement is to define the \emph{processor}.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\kcmd@definekey#1#2#3#4#5{%
   \begingroup\edef\@tempa{\endgroup
      \unexpanded{\kcmd@keydef{#1}{#2}{#3}{#4}{#5}}{\def
            \expandafter\noexpand\csname #3@#4\endcsname{####1}}%
   }\@tempa}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\kcmd@undefinekeys}
% Now in case we redefine a key-command, we would like the old keys (\emph{ie} the keys
% associated to the old definition of the command) to be cleared, undefined.
% That's the job of +\kcmd@undefinekeys+:
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\kcmd@undefinekeys#1#2{%
   \@ifundefined{kcmd@keys\string#2}
      \relax
      {\expandafter\@for\expandafter\kcmp@temp
         \expandafter:\expandafter=\csname kcmd@keys\string#2\endcsname
      \do{#1\expandafter\let
            \csname KV@kcmd@\expandafter\@gobble\string #2@\kcmp@temp @default\endcsname
            \@undefined
         #1\expandafter\let
            \csname KV@kcmd@\expandafter\@gobble\string #2@\kcmp@temp\endcsname
            \@undefined}}%
   #1\@namedef{kcmd@keys\string#2}{\@gobble}}
