% This package implements
% |\dashrule| and |\dashrulefill| commands,
% that simplify composing of dashed
% lines and dashed multilines. Two kinds of footnote rule generation
% commands are also introduced: |\newfootnoterule| creates a footnote
% rule with an arbitrary contents and |\newfootnotedashrule| creates
% a footnote rule based on dash rule.

%
% \subsection{Dash Rules}
%
% \DescribeMacro\dashrule
% The command
% \begin{quote}
% |\dashrule|\oarg{raise}\marg{h-pattern}\marg{v-pattern}
% \end{quote}
% prepares a dash rule. Its syntax is quite similar to the |\rule| command
% except that \meta{h-pattern} and \meta{v-pattern} can contain a list of
% sizes delimited with spaces. List sizes are interpreted as follows:
% size, space, size, space, etc. In other words, every odd size is a
% size of rule part and every even size is a space between neighbour parts.
% If the last size in the list is even
% (means a space), its space value is divided by two and
% is added before the first rule part and after the last rule part.
% Units in sizes can be omitted. In this case, pt-units are supposed.
% Examples:
% \begin{center}
% \begin{tabular}{@{}l@{\qquad\qquad}l@{}}
% x\dashrule[.5ex]{10mm}{1pt}x &amp;
% |x\dashrule[.5ex]{10mm}{1pt}x| \\
% x\dashrule{5mm 3 3 3 5mm}{.4}x &amp;
% |x\dashrule{5mm 3 3 3 5mm}{.4}x| \\
% x\dashrule{1}{3 2 3}x&amp;
% |x\dashrule{1}{3 2 3}x|\\
% x\dashrule{2 2}{2 2}x &amp;
% |x\dashrule{2 2}{2 2}x|\\
% x\dashrule{5 3 1 3 5 10}{1 1 0.4 1 1}x &amp;
% |x\dashrule{5 3 1 3 5 10}{1 1 0.4 1 1}x|
% \end{tabular}
% \end{center}
%
% \DescribeMacro\dashrulefill
% The command
% \begin{quote}
% |\dashrulefill|\oarg{raise}\oarg{leader-type}\marg{h-pattern}\marg{v-pattern}
% \end{quote}
% fills a free space with a dash rule. The rule is composed from the 1st,
% 3rd, and 4th arguments of the command and is repeated as more times as
% necessary to fill a free horizontal space. The rest of space after filling is
% stored depending on \meta{leader-type} used. Default leader type
% is ``aligned leaders'': every rule is aligned to the multiple of its width
% counted from the left boundary of filled box. Other cases are: |c| means
% centered leaders (all extra spaces are collected at both ends of fill
% area), |x| means distributed leaders (extra spaces are uniformly
% distributed between every dash rule), and |s| means stretched leaders
% (the space in h-pattern going after the last rule size is considered as
% stretchable space and rules are stretched to the whole width of the
% fill area).
%
% Example:
% \begin{flushleft}
% |\noindent x\dashrulefill{2 2}{2}\mbox{}\\|\\
% |xxxxx\dashrulefill[.4ex]{2 2}{2}\mbox{}\\|\\
% |\mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex]{4 4}{2}\mbox{}\\|\\
% |\mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex][c]{4 4}{2}\mbox{}\\|\\
% |\mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex][x]{4 4}{2}\mbox{}\\|\\
% |\mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex][s]{4 4}{2}\mbox{}\\|\\
% |\mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex][s]{4 2 1 2 4 -4}{1}\mbox{}\\[1ex]|\\
% |\mbox{}\dashrulefill[0mm][c]{2 3}{2 3 2 3 2}\mbox{}\\|\\
% |\mbox{}\dashrulefill{5 3 1 3 5}{1 1 0.4 1 1}\mbox{}\\|\\
% |\mbox{}\dashrulefill[0mm][c]{5 3 1 3 5}{1 1 0.4 1 1}\mbox{}\\[-2ex]|\\
% |\mbox{}\hrulefill|
% \end{flushleft}
%
% It produces the following:
%
% \noindent x\dashrulefill{2 2}{2}\mbox{}\\
% xxxxx\dashrulefill[.4ex]{2 2}{2}\mbox{}\\
% \mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex]{4 4}{2}\mbox{}\\
% \mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex][c]{4 4}{2}\mbox{}\\
% \mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex][x]{4 4}{2}\mbox{}\\
% \mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex][s]{4 4}{2}\mbox{}\\
% \mbox{}\dashrulefill[.4ex][s]{4 2 1 2 4 -4}{1}\mbox{}\\[1ex]
% \mbox{}\dashrulefill[0mm][c]{2 3}{2 3 2 3 2}\mbox{}\\
% \mbox{}\dashrulefill{5 3 1 3 5}{1 1 0.4 1 1}\mbox{}\\
% \mbox{}\dashrulefill[0mm][c]{5 3 1 3 5}{1 1 0.4 1 1}\mbox{}\\[-2ex]
% \mbox{}\hrulefill
%
% \subsection{Custom Footnote Rules}
%
% In |manyfoot| package, you can separate footnote levels
% with custom footnote rules. In this package we provide two ways for
% creation such rules. All footnote rules should follow the following
% contract: they must be prepared as |\hrule| or |\hbox|; the total height
% of rule or box must be compensated with kerns. Usually a negative
% kern is inserted before a footnote rule and a nonnegative kern is
% inserted after the rule. The sum of both kerns and of total height of
% rule must be equal to zero. We follow this contract in footnote rules
% created with this package.
%
% In |manyfoot| package, every footnote rule must have a name
% |\|\meta{prefix}|footnoterule|. So, we need to specify the prefix only
% when a new footnote rule is constructed. Next that we need to specify is
% a rule width. If width is omitted, the default width of |0.4\columnwidth|
% is used. The footnote rule generation commands described below
% are used in the preamble only.
%
% \DescribeMacro\newfootnoterule
% The command
% \begin{quote}
% |\newfootnoterule|\marg{prefix}\oarg{width}\marg{rule code}
% \end{quote}
% produces a custom user-defined rule.
% The \meta{rule code} must be stretchable to the given width.
% The |\mboxfill| command from the |mboxfill| package is useful in it.
% Examples:
% \begin{quote}
% |\newfootnoterule{starred}{\mboxfill[1.5\width][s]{$*$}}|\\
% |\newfootnoterule{dotted}{\mboxfill[2\width][s]{.}}|
% \end{quote}
% The |\starredfootnoterule| and |\dottedfootnoterule| commands
% are created here. They produce the following rules:
%
% \vspace{3mm}
% \starredfootnoterule
% \dottedfootnoterule
%
% \DescribeMacro\newfootnotedashrule
% The command
% \begin{quote}
% |\newfootnotedashrule|\marg{prefix}\oarg{width}\marg{h-pattern}\marg{v-pattern}
% \end{quote}
% produces a dash footnote rule. The special case, when \meta{h-pattern}
% is empty means the solid rule. Examples:
% \begin{quote}
% |\newfootnotedashrule{double}{}{.4 1 .4}|\\
% |\newfootnotedashrule{dashed}{3 3}{.4}|\\
% |\newfootnotedashrule{dotdashed}{4 2 1 2 4 -4}{.6}|\\
% |\newfootnotedashrule{ddotdashed}{6 2 1 2 1 2 6 -6}{.6}|
% \end{quote}
% The following rules are created here:
% |\doublefootnoterule|, |\dashedfootnoterule|,
% |\dotdashedfootnoterule|, and |\ddotdashedfootnoterule|.
% They produce the following rules:
%
% \vspace{2mm}%
% \doublefootnoterule
% \dashedfootnoterule
% \dotdashedfootnoterule
% \ddotdashedfootnoterule
%
% \StopEventually{}

% \section{The Implementation}
%
% The |mboxfill| package is required here:
%    \begin{macrocode}
%&lt;*package&gt;
\RequirePackage{mboxfill}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\dashrule}
% |\dashrule|\oarg{raise}\marg{h-pattern}\marg{v-pattern}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand\dashrule{}

}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\dashrulefill}
% |\dashrulefill|\oarg{raise}\oarg{leader-type}\marg{h-pattern}\marg{v-pattern}\\
% This command is a composition of the |\mboxfill| and
% |\dashrule| commands. A trick is applied here:
% we decrease dash rule width on the value of last space
% in it and then apply |\mboxfill|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*\dashrulefill[1][\z@]{%
  \@ifnextchar[{\NCC@dashfill{#1}}{\NCC@dashfill{#1}[]}%

  \advance\@tempdimb-\@tempdimc
  \setbox\@tempboxa\hb@xt@-\@tempdimb
    {\hss\dashrule[#1]{#3}{#4}\hss}%
  \mboxfill[\@tempdimc][#2]{\box\@tempboxa}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\NCC@composedash}
% |\NCC@composedash|\marg{action}\marg{pattern} parses the pattern
% and calls the action when a rule size is parsed. At this point,
% the |\@tempdima| contains a size parsed and |\@tempdimb| contains
% the previous space. In |\@tempdimc|, the whole rule size is calculated.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\NCC@composedash#1#2{%

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\NCC@vdash}
% |\NCC@vdash|\marg{h-pattern} is

  }%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\NCC@hdash}
% This action is applied when a horizontal dash is composed.
% |\@tempdimb| contains the required skip,
% |\@tempdima| contains the rule width,
% |\@tempskipa| contains the rule height.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\NCC@hdash{%
  \setbox\@tempboxa\hbox{%

%
% \begin{macro}{\NCC@fnoterule}
% |\NCC@fnoterule|\marg{width}\marg{rule code}\\
% This is the footnote rule producing command.
% As usual, two kerns must be inserted surround the rule: a negative
% kern before the rule and a nonnegative kern after the rule.
% The sum of kern values and of the total rule height must
% vanish. Kerns are calculated in such a way to vertically center
% the rule relative to 2.8pt distance top to the current position.
% If the total height of rule is greater than 5.6pt, the rule is moved
% up on the total rule height (the kern after the rule is zero in this case).
