% 
% \noindent
% \bbding\ provides an easy to use interface to the |bbding|-symbolfont
% set. It is loaded by issusing the command
% |\usepackage{bbding}| in your document preamble.
% 
% You have the symbols shown in the following tables at your disposal. All
% the symbols are used issuing the command written to the right of the symbol.

% \section{How to Install \texttt{bbding}}
% 
% I suppose that you have already got the file |bbding10.mf| containing the \METAFONT-source for the
% \bbding-symbol set from your nearest CTAN-site. It should be placed in a
% directory, where it can be found by \METAFONT. 
% 
% Then generate the font-metrices |bbding10.tfm| using \METAFONT\ (ask your
% system administrator for details). This is done from a command line issusing, say:
% \begin{code}
%   |metafont \mode=|\meta{localmode}|; input bbding10|
% \end{code}
% where \meta{localmode} is one of the modes defined in your local setup
% file, |local.mf|, for \METAFONT. Move the resulting |bbding10.tfm|
% to a directory in the path, where \LaTeX\ looks for |.tfm|-files. If it
% had also generated the bitmap-file, move it to a location, where you
% favourite DVI-viewer can find it.
% 
% As the last thing  install the package file, by running \TeX\ 
% with the file |bbding.ins|. This generates two files: |bbding.sty| and
% |Uding.fd|. |bbding.sty| is the packages file, which is loaded by
% \LaTeX\ and |Uding.fd| contains the loading information about the font.
% 
% If the manualfont |manfnt.tfm|---which is only used to generate the logo
% for \METAFONT---is not installed at your system, you should
% remove the first line of this file
% \begin{code}
%   |%\manfnttrue     ^^A remove this line if|\lttdots\hss
% \end{code}
%
% This file is documented using \package{doc}. This means that documentation
% and commented packagecode is contained in the single file
% |bbding.dtx|. If you want to see the full documentation, you should remove
% the second line of the file |bbding.dtx|
% \begin{code}
%   |%\UsersGuidetrue ^^A remove this line|\lttdots
% \end{code}
% and then run \LaTeX\ on the changed file. After this you should generate 
% the change history using |makeindex|:
% \begin{code}
%   |makeindex -s gglo.ist -o bbding.gls bbding.glo|\hss
% \end{code}
% After this process the file once more.
%
% \medskip
% \parmark[\copyright]^^A
% At last the borrowing formal stuff: You a encouraged to copy, use, delete
% etc.\ the package (|bbding.dtx|, |dingbat.fd| and |semantic.ins|) as much as
% your heart desires as long as you pass it on in complete.
% You are welcome to sneak in the code and get inspiration.  You should just
% remember: {\small \copyright 1993 Karel Horak for the \METAFONT-source and 
% \copyright 1995--1996 Peter Møller Neergaard for the style file}

% \changes{1.0}{1996/02/02}{Finished the naming and documentation}
% \changes{1.01}{1999/04/15}{Fixed a bug in the \METAFONT\ source for scissors}
%
% The code consits of five parts: 
% 
% \begin{itemize} 
% \item A hack making it possible to process the rest of the file without
%   the package yet installed.
% \item The package header for |bbding.sty|.
% \item The font definitions, which will be put in |Uding.fd| by
%   \package{docstrip} and which alse should be used, when printing the
%   documentation.  
% \item The name definitions, which primarily is intended for
%   |bbding.sty|. It is also used in the documentation, thereby making the
%   processing of the documentaion possible without the documentation
%   installed.
% \item The driver program for preparing the documentation.
% \end{itemize}
%
% \subsection{Stub for Users Guide and Documentation}
%
% First comes a little hack, that makes \LaTeX\ thinks it is loading the
% package \texttt{bbding.sty}.  In this way the commands in the
% package can be used---without warnings---when printing the documentation.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%&lt;*documentation&gt;
   \makeatletter \def\@currname{bbding}
\def\@currext{sty} 
%&lt;/documentation&gt;
%    \end{macrocode}
% |\@currname| and |\@currext| is internal \LaTeX-macros containg the name
% respectively extension of the package currently being loaded.  The code is
% encapsulated in |&lt;*documentation&gt;|\lttdots|&lt;/documentation&gt;| so that it is
% not included in the style-file, when installing the package.
%
% \subsection{Header of \texttt{bbding.sty}}
%
% First in |bbding.sty| comes the code that identifies the file as a
% \LaTeXe-package
%    \begin{macrocode}
%&lt;*sty&gt;
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{bbding}%
  [1999/04/15 v1.01 Dingbats symbols%
  ]
%&lt;/sty&gt;
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Defining the Fonts for Use}
% 
% Before using the fonts the declaration of the font family should be done.
% This is (by convention) kept in  |Uding.fd|, which starts by introducing
% itself to \LaTeX.  Then the family |ding| is declared and defined in
% one shape (medium (|n|) weight and width) and it is told that all sizes
% comes from scaling the 10pt font.
% 
%    \begin{macrocode}
%&lt;*fd&gt;
\ProvidesFile{Uding.fd}
  [1996/02/01 v1.0 BBding font definitions%
  ]
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{ding}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{ding}{m}{n}{%
  &lt;-&gt; bbding10 }{}
%&lt;/fd&gt;
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% |Uding.fd| is not loaded until the font is actually used, which is
% the first time that the command |\dingfamily| is used. This command is
% defined in the packagefile:
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
%&lt;*sty&gt;
\newcommand{\dingfamily}{\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{ding}\selectfont}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \subsection{Definition of Each Symbol}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@chooseSymbol}
%   It would unnormal to use more than one symbol at a time, so I
%   define a macro for chosing one symbol in the font. This macro is 
%   called by each of symbolsmacros. This keeps the definitions of the
%   names simple and probably saves memory. I see no reason to define a
%   ``|\textding|'' command as symbols would be used only one (or perhaps
%   two) at a time.  
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand{\@chooseSymbol}[1]{{\dingfamily\symbol{#1}}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%   This macro does the fontchange locally by encapsulating it in a group and
%   then sets the symbol with the desired number.
% \end{macro}
% 
% Then comes the definition of for each symbol:
% As mentioned in the abstract the naming convention is inspired by the 
% names used in \package{Wordperfect 6.0} font set 5. I have however
% shortened the 
% names. I have made a sligtly difference from the \LaTeX\ convention 
% by capitalizing the first letter of each word, which seems more 
% readable to me.

%    \end{macrocode}
% The documentpreamble loads \package{ltxdoc}, which is the standard
% \LaTeXe-class for documentation and issues commands about
% charactertables. Then it defines a bunch of commands (described below),
% that had eased my typing of the documentation. 
% It issues some ``relaxing'' typeouts to the user, and at last it is ready
% to really process the documenation, which is done by
% loading itself once more using  \package{docstrip}.
%
% The commands defined are
% \begin{description}
% \item[\CSname{ifmulticols}] conditional ensuring that \TeX\ branches over
%   parts setting up multiple columns, when this is not provided.
% \item[\CSname{ifmanfnt}] conditional telling whether the manualfont used
%   for the \emph{The \TeX-book} is available. The font is used to generate
%   the \METAFONT-logo and it is declared to NFSS anyway, as it will only be
%   loaded up on request. The user will have to manually set this conditional to
%   false to avoid using the |manfnt|, which is done by removing the first
%   line. I thought it safer to ask the user to remove something written,
%   than adding something ``unwritten''.%  
% \item[\CSname{ifUsersGuide}] conditional telling wether only the users
%   guide is wanted. As with |\ifmanfnt| the user will have to remove the
%   first line of the file to get the full documentation.
% \item[\CSname{lttdots}] gives ellipsis in a typewriter-font
% \item[\CSname{CSname}] typeset a commandname when it is not possible using 
%   the standard notation, \verb+|+\lttdots\verb+|+, from \package{ltxdoc} (eg.\ in
%   headers). Intentionally given a name close to \TeX's |\csname|.
% \item[\CSname{package}] sets the name of \LaTeX-package.
% \item[\CSname{bbding}] gives the package-symbol (name in a typewriter-font)
% \item[\CSname{GetInfo}] defines the commands |\fileversion|, |\filedate|
%   and |\fileinfo| with information about \bbding\
%   as provided in
%   |\providespackage|. It is mainly borrowed from a command with the same
%   name in \package{ltxdoc} but has been changed to type the additional
%   greek letter in the package version provided in parenthesis.
% \item[\CSname{parmark} and \CSname{setparagraphmark}] is used to set a
% given symbol in front of a paragraph. |\setparagraphmark| defines the
% symbol to be used by |\parmark|, if no argument is given explicit.
% \item[\texttt{code}] Environment for displaying examples in the Users Guide.
% \item[\texttt{columnitemize}] Makes an itemizing where the bullet is not
%   idented, which would make the text too narrow when using columns.
% \item[\texttt{commandsInColumns}] Is as specialized environment---nearly
%   deserving its own package. I owe a special thanks to \emph{Mauro
%   Orlandini} and \emph{Max Hailperin} for developing a much-like
%   environment, which gave me much inspiration. 
%
%   The environment is used to show the commands of \bbding\ in
%   columns. Inside the environment each line contains a entry, which is set
%   across the page in the number of columns given by the parameter. On each
%   line the first token not being a space is taken as the command. It is
%   first set and then its name is set in a \texttt{typewriter} font.
% 
%   \textbf{Some notes on the code}: First thing in the environment is to
%   calculate the width of the columns, 
%   \[
%     \CSname{c@lumnwidth} = \frac{\textrm{textwidth} - (\textrm{no.\ of columns}-1)*\textrm{column skip}}{\textrm{no.\ of columns}}
%   \]
%   Then the counters are initialised and \TeX\ is forced into vertical
%   mode. Each line is being build in a |\hbox|, which is first started in
%   the \emph{beginning definition} of the environment. When the given
%   number of columns have been set, the box is ended (and thereby
%   added to the vertical list) and a new one is started.
%
%   |\setComm@nd| finds one line and sets in a |\hbox| with the calculated
%   width. It is therefore declared in a group, where \emph{carriage return}
%   (\verb+^^M+) is turned into a \emph{other} character. The actual setting is
%   done by |\setn@me|, which matches out the relevant part produced by the
%   primitive |\string|. After the command is set, it is tested if this line is
%   done, ie.\ the correct number of columns have been set. In that case
%   it is ended as described above, otherwise \LaTeX\ skips to the
%   next column. At last |\doNextComm@nd| testes if there is a new command
%   or it has reaced the |\end| of the environment.
