Directory macros/latex/contrib/interfaces

Interfaces  provides  a small number of macros  to modify the settings
^^^^^^^^^^ of a large number of parameters provided by Most Frequently
  Used Packages (MFUP!) for typesetting beautiful documents with LaTeX.

The macros shares a standardized syntax of the form key=value. The key
names are intuitive:  font, top, bottom,  left, right,  bookmark, bold,
italic, color, twocolumns, title, pagestyle, before, after, indent etc.

Interfaces  DOES  NOT  provide  any new feature,  except  \repeatcell,
\rowfont, and \bookmarksetup (as long as the bookmark package does not
`steal' them to interfaces...  what whould be considered as a favour!)

A  few  macros  are  modified.   The  complete  list  is  included  in
interfaces.pdf, with explainations.

          *           *            *             *
Interfaces  is organised in different modules  which are  loaded after
the master package is loaded. Each module can be loaded separately.

Commands provided: (each in a distinct module) -----------------------

\sectionformat: interface  for package  titlesec  to modify the titles
           produced by the sectionning commands (and their bookmarks).
           replaces  \titleformat,  \titlespacing and \titleclass  and
           is compatible with them.

\pagesetup: interface for package fancyhdr  to modify the current page
            style or create new page styles.  Replaces \fancypagestyle
            \fancyhf, \fancyhfoffset, \renewcommand\headrulewidth etc.

\tocsetup: interface  for package tocloft  to fine tune  the aspect of
   the table of contents, list of figures / of tables.  \tocsetup also
    applies to  \shorttableofcontents provided by the shorttoc package.
    Facility to make  multi-columns  table(s) of contents  is included,
    give a label for the table of contents/of figures/of tables...
    give them a bookmark. Replaces a lot of tocloft' control sequences.

\repeatcell: to  create   `dynamic'  tabulars,  possibly with  formulas
    computation:  \numexpr,  \pgfmathparse or  \FPeval  formulas can be
    plugged in the tabular or array, with the possibility to transpose.

+ some macros to make easier the use of e-TeX \marks registers (useful
                                   with \sectionformat and \pagesetup).

\trunctext and \htruncadjust are provided in order to take advantage of
                          the code provided by the package truncate.sty
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Interfaces  is mainly based on  scrlfile.sty  ( provided  in the  Koma-
   Script bundle, but Koma-Script classes are not required), on pgfkeys
   and etoolbox.

Interfaces  defines some  pgfkeys  handlers designed specially  to make
key-value  interfaces for other packages.  Using those  handlers permit
the design  of an interface  in a few minutes... (well,  good knowledge
of pgfkeys is required ;-)

. \bookmarksetup is also enhanced with starred keys.

. Facility to load TikZ libraries and pgf modules is provided via \usetikz.

. \pgfkeys is enhanced with a new ``default'' value in case the value is blank.

. scrlfile's \AfterFile and \BeforeFile have starred forms.
