% \section{Introduction}
%
% This file generates class files that provide macros for use with
% \LaTeXe{} to typeset journals published by the National Research
% Council of Canada, in both one- (\textsf{nrc1}) and two-column
% (\textsf{nrc2}) formats.
%
% \subsection{Class options}
%
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@clsname}
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@warning}
% \begin{macro}{\hb@xt@}
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@xlap}
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@footer@centre}
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@tpfooter@centre}
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@header@banner}
% First, a few utility definitions, etc.
%
% \cs{hb@xt@} is in modern \LaTeX{} kernels, but \cs{providecommand}
% was there from the very start of \LaTeXe.
%
% \cs{NRC@clsname} is self-explanatory and \cs{NRC@warning} is a
% warning for the class.  \cs{NRC@xlap} is a centred lap (a zero-width
% box, like \cs{llap} and \cs{rlap}); the name comes from the
% \textsl{TUGboat} macros.  \cs{NRC@footer@centre} is used in the
% footer of pages; it may be blank~--- hence pre-emptive declaration
% here.

%
% \begin{environment}{landscape}
% \begin{environment}{11pt}
% \begin{environment}{12pt}
% \begin{environment}{a5paper}
% \begin{environment}{b5paper}
% Kill off all actively irrelevant options.  (Landscape anything, and
% the standard 5-size papers are too small\dots)  Unless we do this,
% we will inherit those options (which are defined by
% \textsf{article.cls}) and cause potential confusion.

% \begin{environment}{cmfonts}
% \begin{environment}{type1fonts}
% \begin{environment}{type1rest}
% Font usage: this provides the mechanism to test the class without
% access to the specialised (and rather expensive) fonts used at the
% NRC.
%
% Option \verb|usecmfonts| replaces text Times and Helvetica by
% Computer Modern family fonts.  Option \verb|type1rest| uses Times
% and Helvetica, but restricts the set of Helvetica available by
% replacing Helvetica Light by Helvetica (Medium: the regular weight
% of the font), and Helvetica Black by Helvetica Bold.
%
% Option \verb|type1fonts| (the default) uses the complete set of
% Times and Helvetica fonts available in the production process.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\if@usecmfonts
\newif\if@restrictedtypeone
\DeclareOption{cmfonts}{\@usecmfontstrue}

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{environment}
% \end{environment}
% \end{environment}
%
% \begin{environment}{YandY}
% \begin{environment}{genTeX}
% Option \verb|YandY| specifies that \verb|LY1| encoding should be
% used.  Otherwise (option |genTeX|~--- `generic' \TeX{}) we use
% whatever encoding the user specifies (by default, |OT1|).  We make
% no moves on input encoding: that's up to the user, regardless\dots
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\if@yandy
\DeclareOption{YandY}{\@yandytrue}
\DeclareOption{genTeX}{\@yandyfalse}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{environment}
% \end{environment}
%
% \begin{environment}{breakaddress}
% \begin{environment}{nobreakaddress}
% These control an aspect of the layout of the address information box
% at the bottom of the title page.
%
% Option \verb|breakaddress| arranges that the address is printed on a
% new line after the list of authors whose address it is.  Option
% \verb|nobreakaddress| (the default) arranges that the address runs
% on after the list of authors.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareOption{breakaddress}{\let\if@breakaddress\iftrue}
\DeclareOption{nobreakaddress}{\let\if@breakaddress\iffalse}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{environment}
% \end{environment}
%
% \begin{environment}{twocolid}
% \begin{environment}{twocolid*}
% \begin{environment}{onecolid}
% Options \verb'twocolid' and \verb'twocolid*' arrange that the IDbox
% at the bottom of the title page is set over both columns, rather
% than over one column only (which is the default, and which the
% nervous can select by option \verb'onecolid').  The IDbox can be set
% internally in a single column over the entire width of the page
% (option \verb'twocolid'), or in two columns (option
% \verb'twocolid*').
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*nrc2>

% \end{environment}
% \end{environment}
% \end{environment}
%
% \begin{environment}{leqno}
% \begin{environment}{reqno}
% \begin{macro}{\iflefteqnos}
% The option \verb'leqno' (the default) has the same meaning (in
% effect) as does the \verb'article' class option (which in fact loads
% its view of the world through a \verb'.clo' file).  The option
% \verb'reqno' restores the standard \TeX{} view of the matter, which
% is sometimes needed in \verb'nrc2'-class papers.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\iflefteqnos
\DeclareOption{leqno}{\lefteqnostrue}
\DeclareOption{reqno}{\lefteqnosfalse}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{environment}
% \end{environment}
%
% Now control of the labels in the bibliography.
%
% \begin{environment}{numbib}
% \begin{environment}{nonumbib}
% \begin{macro}{\ifNRC@numbib}
% These options merely switch
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifNRC@numbib
\DeclareOption{numbib}{\NRC@numbibtrue}
\DeclareOption{nonumbib}{\NRC@numbibfalse}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{environment}
% \end{environment}
%
%
% \begin{environment}{author}
% \begin{macro}{\ifNRC@author@use}
% If the class is being used by an author to prepare a paper, there
% are things that can't be entered: for example, final volume, issue,
% or page number, and NRC file number.  The |author| class option
% (which will almost never be executed other than by way of
% \cs{ExecuteOptions}) forewarns the class that such commands should
% not be expected.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifNRC@author@use
\NRC@author@usefalse
\DeclareOption{author}{\NRC@author@usetrue}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{environment}
%
%
% The next two control the preprint/production state of the paper.
%
% \begin{environment}{preprint}
% \begin{environment}{production}
% \begin{macro}{\ifNRC@preprint}
% Option \verb|preprint| causes the page styles to change (omit dates,
% page numbers, etc.), while option \verb|production| (the default)
% sets page styles as required in the production process.  Note that
% \verb|preprint| is really `incompatible' (i.e., makes no sense) with
% \verb|trimmarks|, but we don't diagnose the two together.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifNRC@preprint
\DeclareOption{preprint}{\NRC@preprinttrue}
\DeclareOption{production}{\NRC@preprintfalse}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}

%
% Declaration that this is a supplement edition of the paper:
%
% \begin{environment}{supplement}
% \begin{macro}{\ifNRC@pagesuppl}
% This option merely affects the way in which page numbers appear.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifNRC@pagesuppl
\DeclareOption{supplement}{\NRC@pagesuppltrue}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \end{environment}
%
% Then two that control decorations in page footers.
%
% \begin{environment}{proof}
% \begin{environment}{pagnf}
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@banner@defd}
% Notices that this is a proof printing only, or that it is a printing
% (e.g., on the web) whose pagination differs from the final
% pagination in the journal.
%
% \cs{NRC@banner@defd} records which of these options has been given
% (0 for neither, 1 for |proof|, 2 for |pagnf|); it's used for
% diagnostics here, and (in `original' style) when deciding whether to
% set up the title page footer centre, later.

% \begin{environment}{finalverso}
% \begin{environment}{nofinalverso}
% Option |finalverso| specifies that the paper should end on a recto
% page (creating a blank, unnumbered page if the text doesn't for
% itself; the blank page does \emph{not} appear in the paper's page
% count).

% \begin{macro}{\NRC@bottomtrim}
% The next two options control the creation of trim marks.
%
% Option \verb|trimmarks| enables output of trim marks, which are

% (the default) suppresses the trim marks.

% \begin{macro}{\NRC@text@journal}
% Name of the journal for use in page headers and footers
% \emph{Note}: this value is no longer preset; in the days when there

\fi
\LoadClass[fleqn,twoside]{article}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Tidying up after options}
%
% The \textsf{babel} package has the unfortunate habit of changing all
% the structural text elements when the language changes:
% `unfortunate' because we need to use text other than \textsf{babel}
% chooses\dots
%
% We therefore have to arrange that enthusiasm of some of
% \textsf{babel}'s commands is somewhat curtailed.  However, at the
% present stage we don't even know if \textsf{babel} is going to be
% loaded, so we dump stuff into the token stream at begin document to
% do the job for us.
%
% For English, the list is relatively straightforward:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\AtBeginDocument{\NRC@stripdef{english}\figurename}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% For French, the situation is complicated by the existence of three
% different established language definition files: one distributed
% with current babel itself (\textsf{frenchb}), one distributed with
% the previous edition of babel (\textsf{francais}), and the one
% distributed with the GUTenberg French language support bundle
% (\textsf{french}).  At this stage, the only way of determining
% what's going to be loaded, if it does get loaded, is to look for the
% file it will be loaded from: so we have three paths through the code,
% distinguishing on the existence of the various \texttt{*.ldf} files.
%
% The GUTenberg \textsf{french} style does various unamendable things
% that clash with the NRC's requirements, so we warn of the
% possibility of slight confusion if it proves to be present.  (The
% NRC themselves do not use the GUTenberg style in production, but
% potential authors may.)
%    \begin{macrocode}
\IfFileExists{french.ldf}{%
  \def\NRC@french@lang{french}%
  \NRC@warning{GUTenberg Babel french style detected --
    \MessageBreak
    some corruption of NRC-defined format may occur\@gobble
  }%
}{%
  \IfFileExists{frenchb.ldf}{%
    \def\NRC@french@lang{frenchb}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \textsf{frenchb.ldf} has these other odd ideas about how lists
% should be formatted.  
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \AtBeginDocument{%
      \@nameuse{bbl@nonfrenchlistspacing}%
    }%
  }{%
    \IfFileExists{francais.ldf}{%
      \def\NRC@french@lang{francais}%
    }{%
      \NRC@warning{No Babel french style detected --
        \MessageBreak
        French sections of paper will not be correctly formatted\@gobble}%
      \let\NRC@french@lang\@empty
    }%
  }%
}

\else

    \expandafter\NRC@stripdef{\NRC@french@lang}\tablename
    \expandafter\NRC@stripdef{\NRC@french@lang}\abstractname
    \expandafter\NRC@stripdef{\NRC@french@lang}\refname
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% We define our own list spacing and item label layouts, thank you
% very much; this ensures that \textsf{babel}'s |french| option
% doesn't interfere.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \@ifpackageloaded{babel}{%
      \expandafter\addto\csname extras\NRC@french@lang\endcsname
        {\bbl@nonfrenchitemize}%
    }{}%
  }
\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Auxiliary package requirements}
%
% Current thinking (at least) is that the \textsf{nrc2} class needs to
% load the \textsf{multicol} package, so (in default of a better place)
% we do that here.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<nrc2>\RequirePackage[infoshow]{multicol}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \subsection{Declaring texts}
%
% A lot of `fixed' texts are used in the classes, and these are
% declared using a \cs{NRC@DeclareText} command, which is established
% during option processing to select the appropriate language for the
% substitution text.
%
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@DeclareText}
% Syntax: \cs{NRC@DeclareText}\marg{\cs{cmd}}\marg{english text}%
%                                            \marg{french text}
%
% Declares `\cs{cmd}' to have English or French substitution text.
% This section of the classes makes use of the command.

% The switch \texttt{@usecmfonts} tells us which fonts are to be used.
% If we're going to use {\small CM} fonts (\cs{@usecmfontstrue}), we
% need to define various things that enable us to use them at sizes
% and in weights required for the use of Helvetica.  If we're using
% Times and Helvetica, we merely have to change the default families
% to use (we assume that the |.fd| files carry all the weights we have
% available, or at least those we need to use).

%<nrc1> \textheight 49.5pc

%
% but is a bit of an ephemeral concept in NRC2 class, since it's
% supposed to be variable within a quoted range.  The specification
% says 56pc \ensuremath{\pm} 0.5pc; but \TeX{} doesn't have a concept
% of a limited stretch so we make the basic height 55.5pc, and then
% add a 1pc skip that can shrink to zero at the bottom of the page.

% \end{macro}
%
% We don't change \cs{topskip} and \cs{maxdepth} (which \LaTeX{}
% inscrutably relates to one another\dots)
%
% Now, generate \cs{topmargin}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\setlength\topmargin{\paperheight}

\addtolength\topmargin{-\headsep}
\addtolength\topmargin{-\textheight}

% \subsection{Parallel setting of multilingual text}
%
% \begin{environment}{par-text}
% \begin{macro}{\NRC@enclosingenv}
% Syntax: \cs{begin}\verb|{par-text}|\oarg{right language}\oarg{left
%         width}\oarg{separation}\oarg{right width}
%
% Set parallel (bilingual) text.
%
% If \meta{right language} is present, it will be selected as a
% language (using Babel commands) in the right column.  If \meta{left
% width} is present, it will be used as the width of the left column;
% otherwise the width will be set to \texttt{15.5pc} (nrc1), or
% \texttt{20.75pc} (nrc2).  If
% \meta{separation} is present, it will be used as the separation
% between the two columns; otherwise that separation will be set to
% \texttt{1.5pc}.  If \meta{right width} is present, it will be used as
% the width of the right column; otherwise the width will be set to
% \cs{textwidth}\(-\)\meta{left width}\(-\)\meta{separation}.
%
% Thus the two `standard' ways of using the environment start with the
% commands:
% \begin{itemize}
% \item\verb|\begin{par-text}[french]|
%
% Which assumes that Babel has been loaded, and that the main language
% in the document is English.  In this case, the left column will be
% in English, the right column in French.
% \item\verb|\begin{par-text}[english][17pc]|
%
% Which assumes that Babel has been loaded, and the surrounding text
% is in French.  En ce cas, la colonne gauche se presente en fran\c cais,
% la colonne droite en anglais.
% \end{itemize}
%
% We start by grabbing the first argument.  If it's present, we
% transform it to a \textsf{babel} \cs{select@language} command.
% (Note that the `natural' \cs{selectlanguage} command would write
% language selection guff to the \verb|.aux| file, which causes havoc
% with box alignment, so we use the internal command instead.)

% The abstract and r\'esum\'e are specified as simple list
% environments, and preserved in a token register.  Nothing special is
% done about their body, and no effort is made to enforce the order
% (i.e., English or French first) that they appear.  Apart from the
% name (and the fact that the abstract environment already exists, so
% that it must needs be redefined) they are implemented by identical
% code.  If Babel is loaded with the appropriate language, each
% environment safely (i.e., without writing the \verb|.aux| file)
% selects the appropriate language within itself.
%
% In the case of the nrc1 class, the token register is immediately
% typeset.  In the case of the nrc2 class, the token registers are
% stored for use when a \cs{maketitle} command is issued.
%
% \cs{NRC@absressep} is the value to use for \cs{topsep} for the
% \emph{top} only of the \texttt{trivlist} implementation of the
% environments (\cs{z@} is used at the bottom of the environments:
% things get out of hand otherwise\dots).  It gets multiplied by
% \cs{p@}.
%
% The other skips are played fast and loose with, too, inside the
% environments' groups.  \cs{partopsep} is set zero, since we want
% absolute control of separation, and the stretchability of
% \cs{parskip} is also stamped upon while we execute the \cs{trivlist}
% command that establishes our `list'.

% Syntax: \cs{easebaselines}
%
% An editorial command for two-column papers: if a decision is taken
% to ease the baselines of the paper, this command is issued: the
% effect is very slightly to ease the values for \cs{baselineskip}
% used for \cs{normalsize}, \cs{small} and \cs{footnotesize} font
% selections.  A preamble command, only.
%
% \cs{ifNRC@relaxedspacing} allows the extended relaxation of skips
% (above sectioning commands, around floats, and around equations)
% that seems to be necessary in some cases.  The switch is a separate
% on from \cs{ifNRC@easedbaselines}, at present, though implemented
% (as it were) as a sub-switch; however it always has the same value
% as the main switch.

% The user level command for the main size is |\normalsize|.
% Internally \LaTeX{} uses |\@normalsize| when it refers to the
% main size. |\@normalsize| will be defined to work like
% |\normalsize| if the latter is redefined from its default
% definition (that just issues an error message). Otherwise
% |\@normalsize| simply selects a \texttt{10pt}/\texttt{12pt} size.
