% \thispackage provides an easy way to define commands or environments
% with optional keys.
% \smallskip
%
% \csbf{newkeycommand} \cs{renewkeycommand} \cs{providekeycommand} and \csbf{newkeyenvironment},\linebreak 
% \cs{renewkeyenvironment} are macros to define such commands and environments with keys.
% 
% \thispackage is designed to make easier interface for user-defined commands.  In particular,
% \csbf{newkeycommand}\stform+ permits the use of key-commands in every context. 
% \medskip
%
% Keys are defined with the command itself in a very natural way.
% You can restrict the possible values for the keys by declaring them with a \textbf{type}.
% Available types for keys are : \textit{boolean}, \textit{enum} and \textit{choice} (see \ref{subsec:GeneralSyntax}).
%
% \smallskip
%
% The \thispackage package requires and is based on the package \xpackage{xkeyval} by Hendri Adriaens, and uses
% the \cs{kv@normalize} macro of \xpackage{kvsetkeys} (Heiko Oberdiek) for robustness, as shown
% in \ref{kvsetkeys-comparisons}).
%
% It works with an \eTeX{} distribution of \LaTeX.

% The {\db+OptKey+} argument is used if you wish to capture the +key=value+ pairs that are not specifically defined (more on this in the examples section \ref{sec:examples}).
%
% The key-command may have {\tt 0} up to {\tt 9} \textbf{mandatory} arguments : specify the number by +<n>+ ({\tt 0} if omitted).
%
% The \stform+ form expands the \cs{commandkey} before executing the key-command itself, as explain in section \ref{sec:example:plus}.

%
% \subsection{Invalid keys}
%
% If you use the command +\textule+ (defined in \ref{textrule}) 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
% The key-value pairs ``height=...''
% cannot be processed for key-command \string\textrule!
% See the definition of the keycommand!
% \end{quote}
% The error is recoverable: the key is ignored.
%
% If you assign a value to an \textit{enum} or a \textit{choice} key, which is not allowed in the definition,
% you will get the following message:
% \begin{quote}\tt
% The value ``...'' is not allowed in key ...
% for key-command \string\command
% I'll use the default value ``...'' for this key instead
% See the definition of the key-command!
% \end{quote}
% The error is recoverable: the key is assigned its default value.
%
% If you use a \cs{commandkey}\{\meta{name}\} in a key-command where \meta{name} is not defined as a key,
% you will get the \TeX{} generic error message :
% \qquad undefined control sequence : \cs{keycmd->...@name}.
%
%
% \subsection{Testing keys}
%
% \begin{declcs}{ifcommandkey}\,\M{key name}\,\M{commands if key is NOT blank}\,\M{commands if key is blank}
% \end{declcs}
%
% 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|.

% \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}
   [2010/04/27 v3.1415 - key-value interface for commands and environments in LaTeX]
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Requirements}
%
% The package is based on \xpackage{xkeyval}. However, \xpackage{xkeyval} is far less reliable
% than \xpackage{kvsetkeys} as far as spaces and bracket (groups) are concerned, as shown in the section
% \ref{kvsetkeys-comparisons} of this documentation.
%
% Therefore, we also use the macros of \xpackage{kvsetkeys} in order to \textit{normalize} the \texttt{key=value}
% list before setting the keys. This way, we take advantage of both \xpackage{xkeyval} and \xpackage{kvsetkeys} !
%
% 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.
%
% The \xpackage{etoolbox} package gives some facility to write \xpackage{keycommand}.
% 
% From version \texttt{3.141} onwards, \thispackage does not load \xpackage{etextools} anymore.

% \begin{History}
% 
%   \begin{Version}{2010/04/27 v3.1415}
%   \item Key-environment can now be nested ! (it's not too late... I hope so)
%   \item Keys and mandatory arguments as well can be used in both \texttt{begin} end \texttt{end} part of the environment.
%   \end{Version}
% 
%   \begin{Version}{2010/04/25 v3.141}
%   \item No new feature but a real improvement in optimization. \\
%         In particular, \thispackage does not load \xpackage{etextools} anymore. \\
%   \item Bug fix for \cs{providekeycommand}.
%         
%   \end{Version}
%
%   \begin{Version}{2010/04/18 v3.14}
%   \item Correction of bug in the normalization process. \\
%         Correction of a bug in \cs{ifcommandkey} (undesirable space...)
%   \item Modification of the pdf documentation for the \stform+ form of key-environments.
%   \end{Version}
%
%   \begin{Version}{2010/03/28 v3.0}
%   \item Complete redesign of the implementation. \\
%   \xpackage{keycommand} is now based on some macros of \xpackage{etoolbox}.
%
%   \item Adding the + prefix and the ability to capture keys that where not defined.
%
%   \end{Version}
%
%   \begin{Version}{2009/07/22 v1.0}
