% Comment.sty   version 3.8, July 2016
% copyright 1998-2016 Victor Eijkhout
%
% Purpose:
% selectively in/exclude pieces of text: the user can define new
% comment versions, and each is controlled separately.
% Special comments can be defined where the user specifies the
% action that is to be taken with each comment line.

%
% Usage: all text included between
%   \begin{comment}
%   ...
%   \end{comment}
% is discarded. 
%
% The opening and closing commands should appear on a line
% of their own. No starting spaces, nothing after it.
% This environment should work with arbitrary amounts
% of comment, and the comment can be arbitrary text.
%
% Other `comment' environments are defined by
% and are selected/deselected with
% \includecomment{versiona}
% \excludecoment{versionb}
%
% These environments are used as
% \begin{versiona} ... \end{versiona}
% with the opening and closing commands again on a line of 
% their own.
%
% This is not a LaTeX environment: for an included comment, the
% \begin and \end lines act as if they don't exist.
% In particular, they don't imply grouping, so assignments 
% &c are not local.

%% Guide to special effects
%%
% To understand what happens here, you need to know just a bit about
% the implementation. Lines inside a comment are scooped up one at a
% time, and written to an external file. This file can then be
% included, or ignored. Or you can do stuff with it as you'll see now.
%
% Special comments are defined as
% \specialcomment{name}{before commands}{after commands}
% where the second and third arguments are executed before
% and after each comment block. You can use this for global
% formatting commands.
% To keep definitions &c local, you can include \begingroup
% in the `before commands' and \endgroup in the `after commands'.
% ex:
% \specialcomment{smalltt}
%     {\begingroup\ttfamily\footnotesize}{\endgroup}
% Of course, in this case you could probably have used the standard
% LaTeX \newenvironment.
%
% With \specialcomment you do *not* have to do an additional
% \includecomment{smalltt}
% To remove 'smalltt' blocks, give \excludecomment{smalltt}
% after the definition.
%
% The comment environments use two auxiliary commands. You can get
% nifty special effects by redefining them.
% 1/ the commented text is written to an external file. Default definition:
%   \def\CommentCutFile{comment.cut}
% 2/ included comments are processed like this:
%   \def\ProcessCutFile{\input{\CommentCutFile}\relax}
% and excluded files have
%   \def\ProcessCutFile{}
%
% Fun use of special comments: the inclusion of the comment is done
% by \ProcessCutFile, so you can redefine that:
% \specialcomment{mathexamplewithcode}
%  {\begingroup\def\ProcessCutFile{}} %1
%  {\verbatiminput{\CommentCutFile}   %2
%   \endgroup
%   This gives:
%   \begin{equation} \input{\CommentCutFile} \end{equation}
%  }
% 1: do not standard include the file
% 2: input it verbatim, then again inside display math
%
% You can also apply processing to each line.
% By defining a control sequence 
% \def\Thiscomment##1{...} in the before commands the user can
% specify what is to be done with each comment line. If something 
% needs to be written to file, use \WriteCommentLine{the stuff}
% Example:
% \specialcomment{underlinecomment}
%  {\def\ThisComment##1{\WriteCommentLine{\underline{##1}\par}}
%   \par}
%  {\par}
%
% Trick for short in/exclude macros (such as \maybe{this snippet}):
%\includecomment{cond}
%\newcommand{\maybe}[1]{}
%\begin{cond}
%\renewcommand{\maybe}[1]{#1}
%\end{cond}
%
% Changes in 3.8
% - utf8 is now correctly handled, at least if you use eTeX.
%   (Thanks Henry Gregory for the solution)
% Changes in 3.7
% - only LaTeX support from now on
% - code cleanup, and improvements on \specialcomment
% - cleanup of the docs.
% Changed in 3.6
% - documentation update
% - comment file inclusion is now a customizable command
% Changes in 3.5
% - corrected typo in header.
% - changed author email
% - corrected \specialcomment yet again.
% - fixed excludecomment of an earlier defined environment.
% Changes in 3.4
% - added GNU public license
% - added \processcomment, because Ivo's fix (above) brought an
%   inconsistency to light.
% Changes in 3.3
% - updated author's address again
% - parametrised \CommentCutFile
% Changes in 3.2
% - \specialcomment brought up to date (thanks to Ivo Welch).
% Changes in version 3.1
% - updated author's address
% - cleaned up some code
% - trailing contents on \begin{env} line is always discarded
%  even if you've done \includecomment{env}
% - comments no longer define grouping!! you can even
%   \includecomment{env}
%   \begin{env}
%   \begin{itemize}
%   \end{env}
%  Isn't that something ...
% - included comments are written to file and input again.
%
% Known bugs:
% - excludecomment leads to one superfluous space
% - processcomment leads to a superfluous line break at the start
