%% ==== Switching Category Codes             ====
%% Underscore as a ``private letter," using 'stacklet' with v0.5:
\RequirePackage{stacklet} \PushCatMakeLetter\_          %% 2012/08/27
%% v0.3 introduced `\AssignCatCodeTo' and `\MakeNormal'.
%% v0.5 abolishes the former again and uses             %% former 2012/08/28
%% 'actcodes' for some part of `\catcode' switching:
\RequirePackage{actcodes}
%% |\CatCode{\&lt;character&gt;}| 
%% (or simply |\CatCode\&lt;character&gt;|)
%% saves one token per use and works when the category code 
%% of \qtd{&amp;`} (``single left quote") has changed. 
%% As of v0.5, it may be defined by a different package: 
\providecommand*{\CatCode}{\catcode`}     %% \provi... 2012/08/27
% \newcommand*{\CatCode}[1]{\catcode`#1 } %% no better 2010/02/27
%% `\CatCode' is near to be moved into the 'catcodes' bundle, 
%% and basic commands from 'stacklet' and 'actcodes' 
%% may be reimplemented using it 
%% ('manycats'; 'allcats' for loading entire 'catcodes' 
%%  in good order).
%% 
%% |\AssignCatCodeTo{&lt;number&gt;}{\&lt;char&gt;}| \              %% \ 2012/08/28

%% ==== Robustness by &amp;\IfTypesetting\ or So ====
%% \label{sec:iftype}
%% It seems we need some own ways 
%% of robustifying (as opposed to \LaTeX's `\protect' and %% 2014/03/20
%% `\DeclareRobustCommand'---sometimes, 
%%  especially for certain active characters)
%% to achieve various 
%% compatibilities---using 
%% %\begin{center}
%%   \[|\IfTypesetting{&lt;if&gt;}{&lt;unless&gt;}|\]%%%.
%% %\end{center}
%% It also saves some `\expandafter's.
\providecommand*{\IfTypesetting}{%
%     \relax 
%% &lt;- This `\relax' suppressed ligatures of single right quotes!
%% %%^ arrow 2014/03/20

%% %\begin{center}
%%   \[|\nvSelfProtect{&lt;cmd-char&gt;}{&lt;typeset&gt;}|\] 
%% %\end{center}
%% is another idea. 
%% In ``typesetting mode," &lt;typeset&gt; is run. 
%% Otherwise a single unexpanded token &lt;cmd-char&gt; remains.
%% TODO bad at `\shipout'.
%% No `\protect' appears, and as opposed to \LaTeX's 
%% protection mechanism, running &lt;typeset&gt; does not 
%% require a second macro name.
%% The idea is that 
%% %`\nvSelfProtect{&lt;cmd-char&gt;}{&lt;typeset&gt;}'
%% `\nvSelfProtect{#1}{#2}'
%% is the \emph{definition} (substitution text---on 
%% token level) of &lt;cmd-char&gt;.\footnote{This 
%%     may go into a separate package under a different name later.}
\newcommand*{\nvSelfProtect}[2]{%

\def\nv_expand_else#1\else#2\fi{\fi#1}
%% %% 2014/03/27
%% Sometimes ``control sequences" get definitions with 
%% `\svSelfProtect' below whose first argument then is 
%% an active character---the ``control sequence" then 
%% is the ``permanent alias" of the active character.
%% This is a somewhat ``indirect self"-protection.
%% At other places, the ``self"-protection is more 
%% direct. Then |\NewSelfProtectedCommand{&lt;cmd&gt;}{&lt;def&gt;}| avoids 
%% mistakes from mistyping &lt;cmd&gt; and saves some code.
%% It works like `\newcommand*', provides the 
%% `\svSelfProtect', and your definition &lt;def&gt; needs to contain 
%% the second argument of `\svSelfProtect' only. 
%% \emph{Arguments} are not supported currently 
%% (TODO---well, 3 applications 2014/03/27):{\sloppy\par}

%% ==== Shared Shorthand Macros              ====
%% |\begin_min_verb| is a beginning shared by some macros here. 
%% It begins like \LaTeX's `\verb', apart from the final `\tt'.
%% %% 2014/03/18:
%% `\bgroup' is needed for `\hbox' and must be balanced by 
%% an `\egroup' counterpart later.

%% material:
\newcommand*{\SetNiceVerbSaveBox}{%

%% \label{sec:nverb}
%% Discovered mistakes in this section 2014/03/19,              %% 2014/03/20
%% with respect to robustness. \ 
%% (i)~`\NVerb' not really was meant to be a user command,
%% to appear in documentation code (rather to be internal). \
%% (ii)~The attempt to make it robust was incomplete. \
%% (iii)~The code for ``not typesetting" was strange. \
%% (iv)~It is difficult to imagine that somebody attempts 
%%      to use ``verbatim" code, e.g., in a section title
%%      (while with our `&amp;'/`\string' it's ok). 
%%      \emph{At least handy replacement for &amp;\textsf.} \       %% 2014/03/28
%% Well, let's see. May be I once find a useful application. 
%% So I repair the code---`\protect' before &amp;\_...`_false'.
%% |\NVerb&lt;char&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;char&gt;|:
\newcommand*{\NVerb}{%
    \protect\_no_nice_meta_verb_false \NiceMaybeMetaVerb}
%% |\HardNVerb&lt;char&gt;&lt;code&gt;&lt;char&gt;| does not recognize meta-variables:
\newcommand*{\HardNVerb}{%
    \protect\_no_nice_meta_verb_true \NiceMaybeMetaVerb}
\newif\if_no_nice_meta_verb_
%% v0.6 equips both |\NVerb[&lt;end-cmd&gt;]| and             %% 2014/03/18
%% |\HardNVerb[&lt;end-cmd&gt;]| with an optional argument for a single 
%% parameter-less macro for what to do after reading 
%% verbatim text---for boxing or quoting etc.\footnote{The 
%%   goal resembles that of &amp;\collectverb in Martin Scharrer's
%%   \ctanpkgref{newverbs}. A difference in implementation is 
%%   that the character delimiting the verbatim text 
%%   is used as a parameter delimiter for a new/temporary macro. 
%%   So the verbatim characters are fixed. Our approach will be 
%%   collecting the verbatim material in a box, if we need 
%%   something more complex than %&amp;\niceverb_normal_egroup.
%%                                \cs{niceverb_mormal_egroup}.
%%   This allows changing category codes with &amp;\MetaVar again, 
%%   although there hasn't been a need for this so far. 
%%   It might be useful for allowing shorthand macros in 
%%   &amp;\MetaVar's argument.}
%% |\niceverb_egroup| then is useless and removed.
%% Macros that were assigned to it before v0.6 move into 
%% the new optional arguments.---Actually, the next macro 
%% |\NiceMaybeMetaVerb| shared by `\NVerb' and `\HardNVerb'

%% ==== Listings and Moving ==== %% 2014/03/26f.
%% \label{sec:listmv}
%% Working on v0.6, in testing I discovered a problem with 
%% the \emph{listing environments}. The present documentation 
%% uses code listings with 'makedoc', which build on the 
%% 'moreverb' package and eventually call \LaTeX's 
%% `\@noligs' macro.\footnote{\ctanpkgref{moreverb}
%%     is used, and its listing environments use \cs{@verbatim} 
%%     from the \ctanpkgref{verbatim} package, then 
%%     \cs{verbatim@font} calls \cs{@noligs}~...}
%% The problem also appears with the `{verbatim}' environment 
%% from the \LaTeX\ kernel ('latex.ltx') as well as from the
%% \ctanpkgref{verbatim} package---with anything that calls 
%% \LaTeX's `\@noligs'. The latter assigns special meangings 
%% to the active characters listed in the `\verbatim@nolig@list', 
%% three of them need a different meaning with 'niceverb'.
%% When a page break happens after such an environment has been 
%% entered (this may well be when the environment falls to the 
%% beginning of the next page), these settings are used in 
%% \LaTeX's `\@outputpage' for running the `\write's of the page 
%% as well as for page headers. And this happens quite often 
%% in a package documentation!
%%
%% The problem was reported by Walter Schmidt with respect to 
%% math primes as `latex/3104' in 1999. I cannot reproduce    %% rm. to 2015/11/09
%% it, and I see two reasons in recent `latex.ltx' code 
%% why it cannot happen anymore. However, one remedy in `latex.ltx'
%% is activating `\active@math@prime' in `\@resetactivechars' 
%% of `\@outputpage'. 
%% But this is bad for 'niceverb''s single right quote. 
%% We override the `\active@math@prime' functionality and
%% verbatim `\@noligs' by appending 
%% some protection of the characters collected
%% in `\verbatim@nolig@list' 
%% % local restorement |\useNiceVerbHere| of our syntax.
%% to `\@resetactivechars'.
%% This solves the problem for `\write's at `\shipout'.
%% |\do_protect_noligs| is used for this purpose;
%% actually it is applied in |\useNiceVerb|
%% (\secref{allonoff}):{\sloppy\par}
