[2024/04/26 v2.2 LaTeX file (text macros usable within document body)]
%%


%% This file contains various commands usable within the document body,
%%   for styling and otherwise manipulating text.
%% These are not commands used in Preamble for setup, although a few of them
%%   can be used in Preamble for setup, then again in body for change.



%% The following commands are BANNED.
%% ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
% The `novel' class disallows these commands, or neutralizes them by simply
%   repeating their arguments. In some cases, they request functionality
%   not implemented in `novel'. In other cases, the function is part of core,
%   but would interfere with the `novel' emphasis on constant line skip.
%   You may re-define the commands via your own code in Preamble (discouraged).
%
%% Standard LaTeX font sizes are ineffective. Use novel's own methods.
% If you write one of these size commands, it will silently be ignored:
%   \small, \footnotesize, \scriptsize, \tiny,
% \  large, \Large, \LARGE, \huge, \Huge, \HUGE, \textls
%
%% Internal subdivisions are ineffective.
% The command will merely echo its argument, without any functionality:
%   \part, \chapter, \section, \subsection, \subsubsection,
%   \paragraph, \subparagraph.
%
%% Some commands will generate an error, so that you know they cannot be used:
%   \maketitle, \makeindex, \tableofcontents, \listoftables, \listoffigures,
%
%% You can only use \includepdf (package: pdfpages) for pdf files pre-processed
%%   by novel-scripts.
%
%% You cannot use \includegraphics. Instead use novel's own image commands.
%
%% Commands normally provided in other classes, pertaining to floats, figures,
%    and tables, are not defined in `novel' class.
%    If you attempt to use them, an error will result.
%%

%% \bigemdash inspired by code by RTBarnard at stackoverflow.com, CC-by-sa-3.0:
% Allows a rule of variable length to fill available space at its right.

%   the rule in a \makebox of known width, or by an immediate \par.
%   Without this limit, rule will be missing (zero width) or excessively long,
%   or an error will result (referring to \leaders).
% Takes a single optional argument: Comma-separated raise, line thickness.
%   If no argument or empty, defaults to [1,1].
%   Without comma, argument defaults to [argument,1].
%   First number: Scales raise/down. 1 = raise of emdash in typical fonts.
%   Second number: Scales line thickness. 1 = emdash in typical fonts.
% NOTE: Built-in TeX PDF viewer might show the line at slightly incorrect
%   width and height. Best seen in a "real" PDF viewer.

%% \charscale[scale,x,y]{text} and starred version
% This is an "in-line" means of adjusting font size
%   and position, without changing the baselineskip.
% If the optional argument is unused or empty, then the text is not scaled
%   or moved, but equivalent to \stake\smash{text}.
% Up to 3 arguments may be used in the single optional argument.
% They are separated by commas. Spaces ignored.
% First argument is scale. Number>=0.5. Default 1. Relative to what the size
%   would otherwise be. May multiply with an already-scaled font.
% Second and third arguments are x-offset and y-offset, respectively.
% Offsets are lengths, best measured in em or \nfs for horizontal,
%   and em or \nfs or \nbs for vertical. Default 0pt. Can abbreviate as 0.
% Posiive offsets are horizontal right, vertical up.
% Text is "smashed" and may go anywhere, even overlying other text or image.
% The unstarred command occupies width equal to the scaled text,
%   thus leaving a "hole" where the text would have been.
% The starred command occupies zero width, thus no hole. Consecutive starred
%   commands, without intervening space, displace from same origin.
% The text must be on a single line, without break or wrap.
% Do not use \\ or \par inside \charscale. Sometimes you need \par after it.
% If the text is in a font other than usual, place the font command
%   outside \charscale, not inside.
