% \begin{abstract}
% A new environment, {\ttfamily tabularx}, is defined, which takes the
% same arguments as {\ttfamily tabular*}, but modifies the widths of
% certain columns, rather than the inter column space, to set a table
% with the requested total width. The columns that may stretch are
% marked with the new token {\ttfamily X} in the preamble argument.
%
% This package requires the {\ttfamily array} package.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Introduction}
% This package implements a version of the {\ttfamily tabular}
% environment in which the widths of certain columns are calculated so
% that the table is is a specified width. Requests for such an
% environment seem to occur quite regularly in {\ttfamily
% comp.text.tex}.
%
% \DescribeEnv{tabularx}
% "\begin{tabularx}{"\meta{width}"}{"\meta{preamble}"}"\\
% The arguments of "tabularx" are essentially the same as those of
% the standard "tabular*" environment. However rather than adding space
% between the columns to achieve the desired width, it adjusts the
% widths of some of the columns. The columns which are affected by the
% {\ttfamily tabularx} environment should be denoted with the letter
% {\ttfamily X} in the preamble argument. The {\ttfamily X} column
% specification will be converted to  "p{"\meta{some value}"}" once the
% correct column width has been calculated.
%
% \section{Examples}
%
% The following table is set with
% "\begin{tabularx}{250pt}{|c|X|c|X|} ...".
%
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabularx}{250pt}{|c|X|c|X|}
% \hline
% \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Multicolumn entry!}&
% THREE&
% FOUR\\
% \hline
% one&
% \raggedright\arraybackslash The width of this column depends on the
% width of the table.\footnote
% {You can now use {\ttfamily \bslash footnote} inside {\ttfamily
% tabularx}!}&
% three&
% \raggedright\arraybackslash Column four will act in the same way as
% column two, with the same width.\\
% \hline
% \end{tabularx}
% \end{center}
% If we change the first line to "\begin{tabularx}{300pt}{|c|X|c|X|}" we
% get:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabularx}{300pt}{|c|X|c|X|}
% \hline
% \multicolumn{2}{|c|}{Multicolumn entry!}&
% THREE&
% FOUR\\
% \hline
% one&
% \raggedright\arraybackslash The width of this column depends on the
% width of the table.&
% three&
% \raggedright\arraybackslash Column four will act in the same way as
% column two, with the same width.\\
% \hline
% \end{tabularx}

%             mdseries\endcsname\noexpand\ttfamily}
% \section{Differences between {\mytt tabularx} and {\mytt tabular*}}
% These two environments take the same arguments, to produce a table of
% a specified width. The main differences between them are:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item {\ttfamily tabularx} modifies the widths of the \emph{columns},
% whereas {\ttfamily tabular*} modifies the widths of the inter-column
% \emph{spaces}.
% \item {\ttfamily tabular} and {\ttfamily tabular*} environments may be
% nested with no restriction, however if one {\ttfamily tabularx}
% environment occurs inside another, then the inner one {\em must\/} be
% enclosed by "{ }".
% \item The body of the {\ttfamily tabularx} environment is in fact the
% argument to a command, and so certain constructions which are not
% allowed in command arguments (like "\verb") may not be used.\footnote
% {Since Version 1.02, {\ttfamily\bslash verb and \ttfamily\bslash
% verb*} may be used, but they may treat spaces incorrectly, and the
% argument can not contain an unmatched {\ttfamily\char`\{} or
% {\ttfamily\char`\}}, or a  {\ttfamily\char`\%} character.}
% \item {\ttfamily tabular*} uses a primitive capability of \TeX\ to
% modify the inter column space of an alignment. {\ttfamily tabularx}
% has to set the table several times as it searches for the best column
% widths, and is therefore much slower. Also the fact that the body is
% expanded several times may break certain \TeX\ constructs.
% \end{itemize}
%
% \section{Customising the behaviour of {\mytt tabularx}}
%
% \subsection{Terminal output}
% \DescribeMacro{\tracingtabularx}
% If this declaration is made, say in the document preamble, then all
% following {\ttfamily tabularx} environments will print information
% about column widths as they repeatedly re-set the tables to find the
% correct widths.
%
% As an alternative to using the "\tracingtabularx" declaration, either
% of the options "infoshow" or "debugshow" may be given, either in the
% "\usepackage" command that loads "tabularx", or as a global option
% in the "\documentclass" command.
%
% \subsection{The environment used to typeset the {\mytt X} columns}
% By default the {\ttfamily X} specification is turned into
% "p{"\meta{some value}"}". Such narrow columns often
% require a special format, this may be achieved using the ">" syntax
% of {\ttfamily array.sty}. So for example you may give a specification
% of ">{\small}X". Another format which is useful in narrow columns is
% ragged right, however \LaTeX's "\raggedright" macro redefines
% "\\" in a way which conflicts with its use in a tabular or array
% environments.
%\DescribeMacro{\arraybackslash}
% For this reason this package introduces the command "\arraybackslash",
% this may be used after a "\raggedright", "\raggedleft"  or
% "\centering" declaration. Thus a {\ttfamily tabularx} preamble may
% specify\\
% ">{\raggedright\arraybackslash}X".
%
% \DescribeMacro{\newcolumntype}
% These preamble specifications may of course be saved using the
% command, "\newcolumntype", defined in {\ttfamily array.sty}. Thus we
% may say\\
% "\newcolumntype{Y}{>{\small\raggedright\arraybackslash}X}"\\
% and then use {\ttfamily Y} in the {\ttfamily tabularx} preamble
% argument.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\tabularxcolumn}
% The {\ttfamily X} columns are set using the {\ttfamily p} column which
% corresponds  to "\parbox[t]". You may want them set using, say, the
% {\ttfamily m} column, which corresponds to "\parbox[c]". It is not
% possible to change the column type using the ">" syntax, so another
% system is provided.  "\tabularxcolumn" should be defined to be a macro
% with one argument, which expands to the {\ttfamily tabular} preamble
% specification that you want to correspond to {\ttfamily X}. The
% argument will be replaced by the calculated width of a column.
%
% The default is "\newcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{p{#1}}". So we may
% change this with a command such as:\\
% "\renewcommand{\tabularxcolumn}[1]{>{\small}m{#1}}"
%
% \subsection{Column widths}
% Normally all {\ttfamily X} columns in a single table are set to the
% same width, however it is possible to make {\ttfamily tabularx} set
% them to different widths.
% A preamble argument of "{>{\hsize=.5\hsize}X>{\hsize=1.5\hsize}X}"
% specifies two columns, the second will be three times as wide as the
% first. However if you want to play games like this you should follow
% the following two rules.
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Make sure that the sum of the widths of all the {\ttfamily X}
% columns is unchanged. (In the above example, the new widths still add
% up to twice the default width, the same as two standard {\ttfamily X}
% columns.)
% \item Do not use "\multicolumn" entries which cross any {\ttfamily X}
% column.
% \end{itemize}
% As with most rules, these may be broken if you know what you are
% doing.
%
% \subsection{If the algorithm fails\ldots}
% It may be that the widths of the `normal' columns of the table
% already total more  than the requested total
% width. \textsf{tabularx} refuses to set the 
% \texttt{X} columns to a negative width, so in this case you get a 
% warning ``X Columns too narrow (table too wide)''.
%
% The \texttt{X} columns will in this case be set to a width of 1em
% and so the table itself will be wider than the requested total width
% given in the argument to the environment.
% This behaviour of the package can be customised slightly
% as noted in the documentation of the code section.

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% This requires {\ttfamily array.sty}.

%
% First some registers etc.\ that we need.

\newdimen\TX@col@width

%    \end{macrocode}
%
% Now a trick to get the body of an environment into a token register,
% without doing any expansion. This does not do any real checking of
% nested environments, so if you should need to nest one {\ttfamily
% tabularx} inside another, the inner one must be surrounded by "{ }".
%
% \begin{macro}{\tabularx}
% Prior to v1.06, this macro took two arguments, which were saved in
% separate registers before the table body was saved by "\TX@get@body".
% Unfortunatly this disables the "[t]" optional argument. Now just save
% the width specification separately, then clear the token register
% "\toks@".
% Finally call "\TX@get@body" to begin saving the body of the table.
% The "{\ifnum0=`}\fi" was added at v1.03, to allow "tabularx" to appear
% inside a "\halign".^^A
% \setbox0=\hbox{\footnotesize"\iffalse{\fi\ifnum0=`}\fi"}^^A
% \setbox2=\hbox{\footnotesize"\ifnum0=`{}\fi"}^^A
% \footnote{This adds an extra level of grouping,
% which is not really needed. Instead, I could use \box0\ here, and
% \box2\ below, however the code here would then have to be moved after
% the first line, because of the footnote to page 386 of the \TeX{}Book,
% and I do not think I should be writing code that is so obscure as to
% be documented in a footnote in an appendix called ``Dirty Tricks''!}
%
% This mechanism of grabbing an environment body does have the
% disadvantage (shared with the AMS alignment environments) that you
% can not make extension environments by code such as
%\begin{verbatim}
%\newenvironment{foo}{\begin{tabularx}{XX}}{\end{tabularx}}
%\end{verbatim}
% as the code is looking for a literal string "\end{tabularx}" to stop
% scanning. Since version 2.02, one may avoid this problem by using
% "\tabularx" and "\endtabularx" directly in the definition:
%\begin{verbatim}
%\newenvironment{foo}{\tabularx{XX}}{\endtabularx}
%\end{verbatim}
% The scanner now looks for the end of the current environment ("foo" in
% this example.) There are some restrictions on this usage, the
% principal one being that "\endtabularx" is the \emph{first} token of
% the `end code' of the environment.

%
% Now that all the parts of the table specification are stored in
% registers, we can begin the work of setting the table.
%
% The algorithm for finding the correct column widths is as follows.
% Firstly set the table with each {\ttfamily X} column the width of the
% final table. Assuming that there is at least one {\ttfamily X} column,
% this will produce a table that is too wide. Divide the excess width by
% the number of {\ttfamily X} columns, and reduce the column width by
% this amount. Reset the table. If the table is not now the correct
% width, a "\multicolumn" entry must be `hiding' one of the {\ttfamily
% X} columns, and so there is one less {\ttfamily X} column affecting
% the width of the table. So we reduce by 1 the number of X columns and
% repeat the process.
%
% \begin{macro}{\TX@endtabularx}
% Although I have tried to make {\ttfamily tabularx} look like an

% This last section was added at Version 1.02. Previous versions
% documentented the fact that "\verb" did not work inside {\ttfamily
% tabularx}, but that did not stop people using it! This usually put
% \LaTeX\ into an irrecoverable error position, with error messages that
% did not mention the cause of the error. The `poor man's "\verb"' (and
% "\verb*") defined here is based on page 382 of the \TeX{}Book. As
% explained there, doing verbatim this way means that spaces are not
% treated correctly, and so "\verb*" may well be useless, however I
% consider this section of code to be error-recovery, rather than a real
% implementation of verbatim.
%
% The mechanism is quite general, and any macro which wants to allow a
% form of "\verb" to be used within its argument may
% "\let\verb=\TX@verb". (Making sure to restore the real definition
% later!)
%
% "\verb" and "\verb*" are subject to the following restictions:
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item Spaces in the argument are not read verbatim, but may be skipped
%       according to \TeX's usual rules.
% \item Spaces will be added to the output after control words, even if
%       they were not present in the input.
% \item Unless the argument is a single space, any trailing space,
%       whether in the original argument, or added as in (2),
%       will be omitted.
% \item The argument must not end with "\", so "\verb|\|" is not
%      allowed, however, because of (3), "\verb|\ |" produces
%      "\".
% \item The argument must be balanced with respect to "{" and "}". So
%      "\verb|{|" is not allowed.
% \item A comment character like "%" will not appear verbatim. It will
%       act as usual, commenting out the rest of the input line!
% \item The combinations "?`" and "!`" will appear as
%       {\ttfamily?`} and {\ttfamily!`} if the {\ttfamily cmtt} font is
%       being used.
% \end{enumerate}
%
% \begin{macro}{\TX@verb}
% The internal definition of "\verb". Spaces will be replaced by "~", so
% for the star-form, "\let" "~" be \verb*| |, which we obtain as
% "\uppercase{*}". Use "{\ifnum0=`}\fi" rather than "\bgroup" to allow
% "&" to appear in the argument.
%    \begin{macrocode}
{\uccode`\*=`\ %

% the front of the user supplied text, to ensure that the whole argument
% does not consist of a single "{ }" group. \TeX\ would strip the outer
% braces from such a group. The `"!"' will be removed later.
%
% Originally I followed Knuth, and had "\def\@tempa{##1}", however this
% did not allow "#" to appear in the argument. So in v1.04, I changed
% this to to use a token register, and "\edef". This allows "#" appear,
% but makes each one appear twice!, so later we loop through, replacing
% "##" by "#".

\def\TX@vb#1{\def\@tempa##1#1{\toks@{##1}\edef\@tempa{\the\toks@}%
