%
% \begin{abstract}
% \noindent The \ila/ package offers a key--value interface to configure
% index layout parameters, e.\,g. allowing for three-column indexes or
% for ``parent'' items and their affiliated subitems being typeset as a
% single paragraph. The package is responsive to the index-related
% options and commands of the \KOMA/- and \mem/ classes.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Introduction}
%
% Every once a while, questions pop up on \textsf{comp.text.tex} or
% other \LaTeX-related newsgroups on how to change properties of the
% index layout. The most common request is for an index with three
% instead of two columns. The answer to this~-- although not necessarily
% the implementation~-- is simple: Use a \texttt{multicols} environment.
% An example in the \LaTeX\ Companion \cite[pp. 679--680]{Mit04} shows
% how to do it.
%
% Besides being cumbersome for unversed \LaTeX\ users,\footnote{In the
% words of user InsideMan on \textsf{mrunix.de}, November 27, 2009
% (authors translation): ``I didn't believe this to be so laborious. I'd
% rather have guessed there is a package option to cater for it.''} the
% do-it-yourself approach is prone to break index-related options the
% document class might provide (e.\,g. for including the index in the
% table of contents). To address this, the \ila/ package offers a
% key--value interface to configure index layout parameters while
% emulating and extending the relevant functionality of the standard,
% \KOMA/- and \mem/ classes.
%
% Note that \ila/ stays on the \LaTeX\ side of things. If you want to
% add letter headings to each index group or to change the delimiter
% between keyword and first page number, you still have to provide a
% corresponding \textsf{MakeIndex} style file.

%
% \section{Using the \ila/ package}
%
% \subsection{Default behaviour}
%
% If you just add |\usepackage{idxlayout}| to your document preamble,
% the package will keep up the index-related behaviour of the document
% class while correcting bugs and taking advantage of \textsf{multicol}
% features. This amounts to the following changes:
%
% \begin{itemize}
%
% \item Columns will be balanced on the last index page.
%
% \item If you are using a class that lacks the |\chapter| command (or
% \mem/ with the option \textsf{article}), the index will basically
% behave like a normal |\section*|, i.\,e. it will not automatically
% start a new page.\footnote{However, if you typeset your document in
% \textsf{twocolumn} mode, \ila/ will temporarily switch to
% \textsf{onecolumn}, causing a page break in the process.} The first
% index page will also not use a special pagestyle like \textsf{plain}
% appropriate only for chapter headings.
%
% \item When on top of the page, the vertical positioning of the index
% heading will not differ from that of other headings typeset in
% \textsf{onecolumn} mode, i.\,e. \LaTeX\ bug 3126 (|\twocolumn|
% interfering with |\topskip|) will be avoided.
%
% \item With the standard classes \textsf{article}, \textsf{book} and
% \textsf{report}, the space between index columns will be 35\,pt as
% intended.\footnote{In the current version (v1.4h) of these classes,
% the length \texttt{\textbackslash columnsep} is set to 35\,pt, but
% only after \texttt{\textbackslash twocolumn} has been triggered. The
% \KOMA/- and \mem/ classes have either corrected or never introduced
% this bug. See \cite{col05} for details.}
%
% \end{itemize}
%
% \subsection{Options and commands}
%
% The options provided by \ila/ use the key--value interface
% `\meta{key}=\meta{value}'. Set them with
% |\usepackage[|\meta{options}|]{idxlayout}|. For boolean options, the
% default value is \textsf{false}, and specifying \meta{key} is
% equivalent to \meta{key}\textsf{=true}.
%
% \begin{description}[font=\sffamily]
%
% \item[columns]\SpecialOptIndex{columns} The number of columns used for
% typesetting the index. The permitted values range from 1 to 10, the
% default value is 2. A single-column index is e.\,g. suitable ``for an
% index of first lines in a book of poetry'' \cite[p.
% \textsc{xxix}]{Wil09}.
%
% \item[unbalanced]\SpecialOptIndex{unbalanced} A boolean option that,
% if enabled, switches off the balancing of columns on the last index
% page.
%
% \changes{v0.4a}{2010/01/24}{New option \textsf{unbalanced}}
%
% \item[columnsep]\SpecialOptIndex{columnsep} The space between index
% columns. The default value is 35\,pt. As this is required for
% compatibility rather than suggested by typographic considerations, you
% may want to reduce the value of \textsf{columnsep} to, say, 1 to 1.5
% times the value of \textsf{indentunit}.
%
% \item[rule]\SpecialOptIndex{rule} The thickness of a vertical rule
% between index columns. The default value is 0\,pt, i.\,e. no rule.
%
% \item[itemlayout]\SpecialOptIndex{itemlayout} The layout of index
% items, subitems and subsubitems. The permitted values, which are
% described below, are \textsf{abshang}, \textsf{relhang} and
% \textsf{singlepar}. The default value is \textsf{abshang} (which
% corresponds to standard \LaTeX\ behaviour). See
% figure~\vref{fig:itemlayout} for examples of the various layouts.
%
%    \begin{description}[font=\normalfont\sffamily]
%
%    \item[abshang] Index items feature a hanging indentation of value
% \textsf{hangindent}. Subitems and subsubitems resemble items except
% that their first line is indented by the values of \textsf{subindent}
% and \textsf{subsubindent}, respectively.
%
%    \item[relhang] Differing from \textsf{abshang}, the hanging
% indentations of subitems and subsubitems equal the sum of
% \textsf{hangindent} and the respective first-line indentations.
%
%    \item[singlepar] ``Parent'' items and their affiliated subitems
% (and, if present, subsubitems) are typeset as a single paragraph, with
% a semicolon plus an interword space being used as the default
% delimiter.\footnote{This blends in well with the default behaviour of
% \textsf{MakeIndex} to put a comma plus an interword space between
% keyword and first page number.}
%
%    \end{description}
%
% \item[indentunit]\SpecialOptIndex{indentunit} A length that serves as
% a building block for other indentation lengths. The default value is
% 20\,pt. You may want to match the value of \textsf{indentunit} with
% that of the \TeX\ length |\parindent|. The default values of the
% options \textsf{hangindent}, \textsf{subindent} and
% \textsf{subsubindent} will be set in accordance with the chosen values
% of \textsf{itemlayout} and \textsf{indentunit} (see
% table~\vref{tab:indents}).
%
% \item[hangindent]\SpecialOptIndex{hangindent} Use this option to
% override the default value of \textsf{hangindent}.
%
% \item[subindent]\SpecialOptIndex{subindent} Use this option to
% override the default value of \textsf{subindent}.
%
% \item[subsubindent]\SpecialOptIndex{subsubindent} Use this option to
% override the default value of \textsf{subsubindent}.

%
% \item[initsep]\SpecialOptIndex{initsep} The vertical space inserted
% between index groups with differing initial letters. The default value
% is 10\,pt plus 5\,pt minus 3\,pt.
%
% \item[notesep]\SpecialOptIndex{notesep} The vertical space inserted
% between a possible prenote and the first index entry. The default
% value is one times the value of \textsf{initsep}.
%
% \item[columnnote]\SpecialOptIndex{columnnote} A boolean option that
% controls whether a possible prenote is typeset as part of the first
% index column.
%
% \changes{v0.4b}{2010/03/01}{New option \textsf{columnnote}}
%
% \item[minspace]\SpecialOptIndex{minspace} The vertical space needed on
% the current page to prevent the index from starting a new page. The
% default value is 80\,pt. You may want to increase the value of
% \textsf{minspace} if the index includes a prenote containing several
% lines.
%
% \item[font]\SpecialOptIndex{font} The font used for typesetting the
% index. The permitted values are \textsf{current} (i.\,e. the font in
% effect at the time of |\printindex|), \textsf{normalsize},
% \textsf{small} and \textsf{footnotesize}. The default value is
% \textsf{current}.
%
% \item[justific]\SpecialOptIndex{justific} The justification of index
% columns. The permitted values are \textsf{standard} (i.\,e. left and
% right margin justified), \textsf{raggedright} and \textsf{RaggedRight}
% (which uses the correspondent command of the automatically loaded
% \textsf{ragged2e} package).\footnote{Before \ila/ v0.4c,
% \textsf{justific=RaggedRight} erroneously utilized
% \texttt{\textbackslash raggedright}.} The default value is
% \textsf{standard}.
%
% \changes{v0.4c}{2010/06/26}{Corrected option \textsf{justific!=
% RaggedRight}}
%
% \changes{v0.4c}{2010/06/26}{Package \textsf{ragged2e} now loaded
% automatically}
%
% \item[totoc]\SpecialOptIndex{totoc} A boolean option that controls
% whether the index is included in the table of contents. The default
% value of this option is set according to the standard behaviour of the
% document class (\textsf{true} for \mem/, \textsf{false} for other
% classes).
%
% \end{description}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setindexprenote}
% \DescribeMacro{\noindexprenote}
% Use the command |\setindexprenote|\{\meta{Some text}\} to typeset
% explanatory text after the index heading. As a default, the prenote
% (which may span several paragraphs) is set in the same font as the
% index. Font changes within the argument of |\setindexprenote| won't
% affect the index proper. A vertical space controlled by the
% \textsf{notesep} option is inserted between the prenote and the first
% index entry. With multiple indexes, use the command |\noindexprenote|
% to reset the prenote text to empty and to take care of the proper
% spacing between index heading and first entry.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\idxlayout}
% The command |\idxlayout|, which takes a comma-separated list of
% key--value options as argument, allows to change index layout
% parameters within the document. A typographically sound example is
% provided by \cite{Mit04} which typesets a general index in two columns
% and then switches to three columns for an index of names.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\indexfont}
% \DescribeMacro{\indexjustific}
% If the permitted values of the options \textsf{font} and
% \textsf{justific} do not cover your needs, you can resort to
% redefining the commands |\indexfont| and |\indexjustific|, e.\,g. by
% including |\renewcommand*{\indexfont}{\tiny\bfseries}| in your
% document preamble.\footnote{See the file |idxlayout.dtx| for the
% redefinition of \texttt{\textbackslash indexjustific} carried out in
% order to use \ila/ with the \textsf{ltxdoc} class.}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\indexsubsdelim}
% Redefine the command |\indexsubsdelim| if you happen to dislike the
%default delimiter used with the option \textsf{itemlayout=singlepar}.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\indexstheadcase}
% In the standard classes, the index header is typeset using
% |\MakeUppercase|. \ila/ allows you to change this by redefining
% |\indexstheadcase|.
%
% \changes{v0.4d}{2010/03/01}{Added \texttt{\textbackslash
% indexstheadcase}}
%
% \subsection{Compatibility issues and notes}
%
% \ila/ has been tested with the standard classes \textsf{article},
% \textsf{book} and \textsf{report} (v1.4h), the \KOMA/-classes
% \textsf{scrartcl}, \textsf{scrbook} and \textsf{scrreprt} (v3.10a) and
% the \mem/ class (v3.6j). It is responsive to their index-related
% options and commands:
%
% \changes{v0.4d}{2012/03/30}{Adapted emulation of \textsf{theindex} to
% \KOMA/ v3.10}
%
% \begin{itemize}
%
% \item The \KOMA/ options for including the index in the table of
% contents (e.\,g. \textsf{index=totoc}) and the respective \mem/
% commands (e.\,g. |\indexintoc|) are recognized and can be mixed with
% the \ila/ option \textsf{totoc}.
%
% \item The \mem/ lengths |\indexcolsep| and |\indexrule| are supported,
% and it is possible to alternate between setting these lengths and
% using the respective \ila/ options \textsf{columnsep} and
% \textsf{rule}.
%
% \item The \mem/ commands |\onecolindex| and |\twocolindex| are
% recognized. (For an index with three or more columns, use the \ila/
% option \textsf{columns}.)
%
% \item The \KOMA/ command |\setindexpreamble| and the \mem/ command
% |\preindexhook| are supported.\footnote{Because these commands do not
% automatically insert vertical space between their argument and the
% first index entry, they have been made to operate independently of the
% \ila/ commands \texttt{\textbackslash setindexprenote} and
% \texttt{\textbackslash noindexprenote}. With \ila/ v0.4b and the
% \textsf{scrartcl} class, \texttt{\textbackslash setindexpreamble} will
% correctly typeset the preamble as part of the first index column.}
%
% \changes{v0.4b}{2010/03/01}{Corrected emulation of
% \texttt{\textbackslash setindexpreamble}}
%
% \end{itemize}
%
% When using \ila/ together with the \textsf{splitidx} package, issue
% the \textsf{splitidx} command |\extendtheindex| only after having
% loaded \ila/.
%
% If you use the \textsf{tocbibind} package, you must load it before
% \ila/. The influence of \textsf{tocbibind} on including the index in
% the table of contents will be removed, so use the \ila/ option
% \textsf{totoc} instead.\footnote{Just in case you ask, numbering the
% index heading is not supported by \ila/ because it is a bad idea from
% a typographic point of view. See \cite[pp. 86--87]{Koh08} for
% details.}
%
% Another package which must not be loaded after \ila/ is
% \textsf{imakeidx} which allows to create indexes during the main
% typesetting run.
%
% The \textsf{index} package also has to be loaded before \ila/. You may
% use the newly-defined second optional argument of |\printindex| to
% override the prenote text of |\setindexprenote| for individual
% indexes.
%
% \changes{v0.4b}{2010/03/01}{Package \textsf{index} now supported}
%
% The \textsf{multind} package (from 1991) is not supported.
%
% As \ila/ is based on the \textsf{multicol} package, the appearance of
% the index is affected by any \textsf{multicol} parameter not
% overridden by \ila/. Use the command |\raggedcolumns| if you aim at
% typesetting the index on a grid.

%
% \subsection{Preliminaries}
%
% Announce the name and version of the package, which requires \LaTeXe.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\ProvidesPackage{idxlayout}[2012/03/30 v0.4d Configurable index layout]
%    \end{macrocode}
% Besides \textsf{multicol}, we require the packages \textsf{kvoptions}
% (to conveniently specify options as key--value pairs) and
% \textsf{etoolbox} (e.\,g. for length assignments and boolean switch
% handling). We also need \eTeX, whose presence is tested by
% \textsf{etoolbox}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{etoolbox,kvoptions,multicol}
%    \end{macrocode}
% We use \texttt{ila@} as a short prefix to internal macros defined by
% \textsf{kvoptions}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\SetupKeyvalOptions{family=ila,prefix=ila@}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \begin{macro}{\ila@defradiokey}
% \textsf{kvoptions} does not provide ``radio buttons''~-- options that
% take a list of three or more values with associated functions and
% yield an error message if an unknown value is given. However, in a
% series of messages on \textsf{comp.text.tex} \cite{dec09}, Heiko
% Oberdiek (author of \textsf{kvoptions}) and Joseph Wright showed how
% radio button keys can be created using |\define@key| (from the
% \textsf{keyval} package, which is loaded by \textsf{kvoptions}) and
% the \eTeX\ primitive |\ifcsname|. What follows is basically a
% shameless rip-off of Heikos and Josephs good advice.
%
% The command |\ila@defradiokey| takes one optional and two mandatory
% arguments. The first mandatory argument is the key to be defined, the
% second is a ``short key'' which must be used as a second prefix after
% |ila@| when defining the functions associated with each value. The
% optional argument specifies a default value ``which is then used if
% the user does not supply one'' \cite[p.~111]{Wri09}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcommand*{\ila@defradiokey}[3][]{%
  \define@key{ila}{#2}[#1]{%

    \else
      \PackageError{idxlayout}{Unknown value ##1 for option #2}%
    \fi
  }%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% \subsection{Options and commands}
% \begin{macro}{\theidxcols}
% \begin{macro}{\onecolindex}
% \begin{macro}{\twocolindex}
% We define the key \textsf{columns} to control the number of index
% columns and initially set it to 2. (Actually, we use the counter
% |idxcols| to store the number so that anything but an integer will

% Furthermore, we take our boolean option \textsf{totoc} into account.
