% \section{Introduction}
% This \TeX{} program is meant to be used together with generic
% bibliographic style files to produce customized \texttt{.bst} files for
% running with \btx. The generic, or master file, can be processed by
% \dtx{} with selected options to achieve the desired bibliographic
% style. To this end, a \dtx{} batch job should be made up.
% However, because of the large number of options available, an
% interactive, dialogue system would be more convenient.
% 
% This program, \theprog, accomplishes this goal.
% It defines macros to establish such a \dtx{} batch job file, and
% to organize a menu of options. The menu information is contained,
% however, in the master file itself, since the two are intimately related.
% Thus different master files with totally different option structures may
% be accommodated.
% 
% The batch job could in fact be made up with an editor without calling 
% \theprog, but this program does simplify the task.
% 
% Incidentally, the \dtx{} run can only be carried out by means of
% a batch job. Running \dtx{} interactively inserts default pre- and 
% postambles in the text, the latter including an |\endinput| command that
% \btx{} will not understand. 
% 
% \section{The Master File}
% The master file is a \btx{} bibliographic style file containing
% alternative coding depending on \dtx{} options. The options are
% selected when \dtx{} is run, either interactively or through a
% batch job. 
% 
% Suppose that one of the options is called \texttt{xyz}. Then the following
% alternatives are possible:
% \begin{quote}
% |%<xyz> | \em one line of coding
% \end{quote}
% \emph{includes} the single line of coding;
% \begin{quote}
% |%<!xyz> | \em one line of coding 
% \end{quote}
% \emph{excludes} the single line;
% \begin{quote}
% |%<*xyz> | \\
% \emph{several lines of coding}\\
% |%</xyz> | 
% \end{quote}
% \emph{includes} all the bracketed lines;
% \begin{quote}
% |%<*!xyz> | \\
% \emph{several lines of coding}\\
% |%</!xyz> | 
% \end{quote}
% \emph{excludes} all the bracketed lines.
% 
% Options may be logically combined: the symbol \verb!|! is a logical
% \textsf{or}, |&| a logical \textsf{and}, |!| a logical \textsf{not};
% parentheses \texttt{(} and \texttt{)} may be used to group options.
% 
% \subsection{Using with \dtx}
% In order to generate a true \btx{} style file with selected options from
% the master file, it is necessary to run a \dtx{} batch job.
% Suppose that the master file is named \texttt{master.mbs}, the
% resulting \btx{} style file is to be \texttt{silly.bst}, and the batch job
% file itself is called \texttt{silly.dbj}. To produce this with options, say,
% \texttt{xyz} and \texttt{abc}, the batch job would look something like:
% \begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
% \def\batchfile{silly.dbj}
% \input docstrip
% 
% \preamble
% This is for Journal of Silly Results
% \endpreamble
% 
% \postamble
% End of customized bst file
% \endpostamble
% 
% \keepsilent
% 
% \generateFile{silly.bst}{f}{\from{master.mbs}{xyz,abc}}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% A preamble is not necessary, although it is advisable to include some
% statement about the application of the bibliographic style. A postamble
% \emph{is} vital, otherwise the default will add |\endinput| at the end
% of the file, something that \btx{} will not understand. The |\keepsilent|
% is optional and just suppresses \dtx{} output during processing.
% 
% \subsection{The Menu File}
% This program, \theprog, simplifies the creation of the batch job file. To
% do that, it needs information on the available options. This information
% must be stored in a special format, in the master file itself.
% Alternatively, that information may be extracted and stored in a file
% with the same root name but extension \texttt{.opt}. \textsl{This feature
% is not recommended since it can lead to inconsistencies!}
% The format of the menu information is illustrated below in 
% Section~\ref{sec:menu}.
% 
% In the master file, this information must be enclosed within \dtx{}
% options |%<*options>| \dots\ |%</options>| and \emph{must} be ended by an
% |\endoptions| command. It may also include any number of comments. 
% The rest of the file must be enclosed within |%<*!options>| \dots\
% |%</!options>| to exclude it when the menu information is extracted
% with \dtx.
% 
% A sample menu in the master file to select one or none of options 
% \texttt{xyz} \emph{or} \texttt{zyx} would look thus:
% \begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
% %<*options>
% \mes{Select one of these}
% \optdef{f}{xyz}{Option forword}{to do forward stuff}
% \optdef{r}{zyx}{Option reverse}{to do reverse stuff}
% \optdef{*}{}{None of the above}{}
% \getans
% \endoptions
% %</options>
% %<*!options>
% . . . . . . 
% %</!options>
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% An explanation of these commands is to be found in Section~\ref{sec:menu}.
% 
% The menu information may be extracted from the master file by means of
% \dtx{} and stored in a file with extension \texttt{.opt}. If this
% file is present, \theprog{} offers to read it instead of the master file,
% although this is \emph{not} recommended, as explained above.
% 
% \section{Running \protect\theprog}
% This is actually a \TeX{} program, although it will also run under \LaTeX.
% In that sense, it is like \dtx{} itself.
% Thus run the program with (something like)
% \begin{quote}\texttt{tex} \theprog\end{quote}
% 
% The program first asks for the name of the master file. This is
% the file containing all possible bibliographic style commands, with 
% \dtx{} options for selective output. A default name is offered, as well
% as a default extension (\texttt{.mbs}).
% 
% Next, the program asks for the name of the output file, the \texttt{.bst}
% file. The extension here is optional, defaulting to \texttt{.bst}. This name
% also determines the name of the batch job file, which will have the same
% root name with the extension \texttt{.dbj}, for the \emph{\dtx{} batch job}.
% 
% The actual interrogation then begins. All the information for the menus
% is contained in the master bibliographic style file.  The reason for this
% is that the menu information must conform to the available options in the
% master file, so it makes sense that one file should contain both. The
% master file is only read up to the |\endoptions| command.
% 
% Finally, the batch job file is closed, and the user is asked if it should
% be run.  If he does not take up this
% offer, or if he later edits the batch job, then it may be run manually
% with (something like)
% \begin{quote}\texttt{tex} \emph{bstname}\texttt{.dbj}\end{quote}
% 
% \section{The Menu Information\label{sec:menu}}
% The set of questions in the interrogation must fit the available
% options in the master file. For this reason, the menu information is
% contained in the master file itself. The program \theprog{} supplies the
% macros that are used in the menu file to simplify writing and processing
% menu information.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\mes}
% To print a message to the terminal, use |\mes|\marg{text}. A new line
% may be forced within \emph{text} by means of |^^J|.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\ask}
% To interrogate the user for a response, use |\ask{\|\emph{com}|}|\marg{text},
% which writes \emph{text} to the terminal, and puts the
% response in the command |\|\emph{com}. 
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\optdef}
% Almost all interrogations will consist of a list of mutually exclusive 
% options, one of which is the default. For each item in the list, one must
% specify the keyboard response that is to select it, the actual name of
% the \dtx{} option that realizes it, and two pieces of explanatory
% text. For example,
% \begin{quote}
% |\optdef{a}{abr}{Abbreviations}{of such words}|
% \end{quote}
% means that \texttt{abr} is the true \dtx{} option name that is
% selected by typing \texttt{a}. The two explanatory texts are written to the
% terminal immediately as part of the menu, but only the first text is
% echoed when the selection is made (for confirmation) and is also written
% to the batch job file (as comment).
%
% The default option must have the response |*|.
% 
% A menu is written to the terminal, first with a |\mes| command to state
% the subject matter, and then with a sequence of |\optdef| statements,
% each of which also writes the texts to the terminal. 
% \DescribeMacro{\getans}
% The response is then read in and processed with |\getans|, which writes
% the reply to the command |\ans| and writes the appropriate \dtx{}
% option to the batch job file. If the response does not correspond to any
% of those in the menu list, it is set to {\tt*}; if there is no {\tt*}
% in the list, then |\ans| is set to the last entry. The command |\ans|
% is still available afterwards for any extra testing that might be needed.
% 
% An example menu appears as follows:
% \begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
% \mes{^^JJOURNAL VOLUME NUMBER:}
% \optdef{*}{}{Volume plain}{as vol(num)}
% \optdef{i}{vol-it}{Volume italic}%
%        {as {\string\em\space vol}(num)}
% \optdef{b}{vol-bf}{Volume bold}%
%       {as {\string\bf\space vol}(num)}
% \optdef{d}{vol-2bf}{Volume and number bold}%
%       {as {\string\bf\space vol(num)}}
% \getans
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% 
% \section{More Complex Batch Jobs}
% Version 3.0 of \theprog{} allows the master file to define more
% sophisticated batch jobs, such as additional master files with their own
% options. This is made possible because the options are not written
% directly in the |\generateFile| command, as in earlier versions, but to a
% command |\MBopts|. The batch file then contains something like:
% \begin{quote}
% |\def\MBopts{\from|\marg{source.ext}|{%|\\
% \hspace*{1em}\emph{lines from menu session}\\
% | }}|\\
% |\generateFile|\marg{output.ext}|{f}{\MBopts}|
% \end{quote}
% 
% Normally the \emph{lines from menu session} contain just the \dtx{}
% options. However, the master file could add other things to the
% definition of |\MBopts|, even closing it and starting a new definition.
% It just has to make sure that the braces are balanced.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\MBaskfile}
% A number a macros are provided, which are used by \theprog{} itself, to
% simplify making complex menus. To ask for the name of a file
% interactively,
% \begin{quote}
% |\MBaskfile|\marg{Prompting text}\parg{root.ext}\marg{io}|\|\emph{fname}
% \end{quote}
% may be given, where \emph{root.ext} is the default name of the file,
% \emph{io} is \texttt{i} (for input) if the file must already exist, and
% |\|\emph{fname} is the command that receives the file name. The root name
% will be in |\froot|, the extension in |\fext|.
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\wr}
% Text is written to the batch job file with
% \begin{quote}
% |\wr|\marg{text}
% \end{quote}
% Any commands in \emph{text} that are to be written literally must be
% preceded by |\string|. 
% 
% \DescribeMacro{\MBswitch}
% Since any braces in \emph{text} must be balanced, something special must
% be done to permit them to be printed as normal characters. The command
% |\MBswitch| accomplishes this; the parentheses \texttt{( )} replace |{ }|
% as the delimiters. This should always be given within |\begingroup| \dots
% |\endgroup|.
% 
% As an example, suppose the master file contains only half the coding for
% the \texttt{.bst} file, the other half being in one of several other
% master files. We must prompt for this second file, include it for its
% options, and make sure that |\MBopts| knows about it. The following code
% in the master file will do this.
% \begin{quote}
% |\MBaskfile{Name of second master file}(aa.mbs)i\xfile|\\
% |\begingroup\MBswitch|\\
% |\wr(\string\MBopta})|\\
% |\wr(\string\from{\xfile}{\string\MBoptb}})|\\
% |\wr(\string\def\string\MBopta{\pc)|\\
% |\endgroup|\\
% \emph{regular menu information for first file}\\
% |\begingroup\MBswitch|\\
% |\wr(}\string\def\string\MBoptb{\pc)|\\
% |\endgroup|\\
% |\input\xfile\relax|\\
% |\begingroup\MBswitch|\\
% |\wr({\pc)|\\
% |\endgroup|\\
% |\endoptions|
% \end{quote}
% 
% The resulting \texttt{.dbj} file contains
% \begin{quote}
% |\def\MBopts{\from{first.mbs}{%|\\
% |\MBopta}|\\
% |\from{second.mbs}{\MBoptb}}|\\
% |\def\MBopta{%|\\
% \emph{first set of options}\\
% |}\def\MBoptb{%|\\
% \emph{second set of options}\\
% |{%|\\
% |  }}|\\
% |\generateFile{sample.bst}{f}{\MBopts}|
% \end{quote}
%

% 
% \section{Coding}
% This section presents and explains the actual coding of the macros.
% It is nested between |%<*program>| and |%</program>|, which
% are indicators to \dtx{} that this coding belongs to the program
% file.
%
% \subsection{Preliminaries}
% The first thing is to open up i/o devices for communicating with the
% terminal and files. (Some of this has been borrowed from \dtx{}.)
% The terminal input and output are |\ttyin| and |\ttyout|
% respectively, while the output file if |\outfile|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*program>
\newwrite\outfile
\newread\ttyin
\newread\infile
\newwrite\ttyout
%    \end{macrocode}
% \begin{macro}{\mes}\begin{macro}{\wr}
% The two commands for outputting text are defined: |\mes| writes to the
% terminal while |\wr| writes to the output file.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\mes{\immediate\write\ttyout}
\def\wr#1{\immediate\write\outfile{#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}\end{macro}
% 
% To assist inserting new lines in the middle of text, define a newline
% symbol.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newlinechar=`\^^J
%    \end{macrocode}
% 
% \begin{macro}{\MBswitch}
% \changes{3.0}{1995 Feb 5}{Add macro}
% There are times when we need to write a line of code to the output file
% with unbalanced braces in that line. (They are balanced in another line.)
% Such lines are written with |\wr{...}|. If the braces in the argument are
% not balanced, then there will be trouble. To get around this, change the
% category codes of the braces to `other' and let parentheses take their
% place. 
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\MBswitch{\catcode`\{=12 \catcode`\}=12
              \catcode`\(=1 \catcode`\)=2\relax}
%    \end{macrocode}
% The way to employ this is as
% \begin{quote}\begin{verbatim}
% \begingroup\MBswitch
% \wr(..{..)
% \endgroup
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\ask}
% To get a response from the terminal, use |\ask|. However, there are some
% complications here. If only carriage-return is pressed, then the response
% command is equal to |\par|; for anything else, a typed-in text includes a
% trailing blank. We must test for |\par| and remove the blank if it is
% there.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\defpar{\par}
\def\remblk#1 @@{#1}
\def\ask#1#2{\mes{#2}\read\ttyin to #1\ifx#1\defpar\def#1{}\else
   \edef#1{\expandafter\remblk#1@@}\fi}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
% 
% \begin{macro}{\getroot}
% \begin{macro}{\getext}
% To parse the name of a file into root and extension, use commands
% |\getroot| and |\getext|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\groot#1.#2@@{#1}
\def\getroot#1{\expandafter\groot#1.@@}
\def\gext#1.#2.#3@@{#2}
\def\getext#1{\expandafter\gext#1..@@}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}\end{macro}
% 
% \begin{macro}{\MBaskfile}
% \changes{3.0}{1995 Feb 5}{Add macro to get a file name}
% Several times it is necessary to ask for a file name interactively, and
% maybe test if it exists. This might even be done in the \texttt{.mbs}
% file, so provide a macro to simplify this task. The syntax is
% \begin{quote}

% \subsection{Menu Macros}
% \begin{macro}{\optdef}
% For each menu, a general text is written with |\mes|, followed by a list
% of available options. The information that will be needed is
% \begin{enumerate}
% \item the response letter to select the option,
% \item the actual \dtx{} option name, as defined in the master
%   bibliographic style file,
% \item a piece of text that is printed in the menu list, to be echoed
%   in confirmation of the choice, and also to be written to batch job file
%   as a comment,
% \item a second piece of text that is only written to the menu, to enhance
%   the explanation.
% \end{enumerate}
% The true option name and the first piece of text are stored as commands
% prefixed by |\opt@| and |\txt@| respectively, followed by the response
% letter. Each option response letter is also stored in a list |\optlist|
% which is initialized to contain only a question mark. The commands 
% |\nxtopt| and |\rstopt| are used to extract the next and remaining
% options from the list.

% The user selection is read in with |\getans|, into the command |\ans|.
% It then processes the response by first checking if there is an option
% corresponding to it; if not, the response |\ans| is set to the default
% |*|. If no star response exists, then it takes the first entry in
% |\optlist| (the last one entered) as the default response.
% It then calls |\wropt| to write the necessary \dtx{} option
% and explanatory comment to the batch job file. Finally, it uses the
% option list |\optlist| to clear all the |\opt@| commands. This last step
% is necessary to avoid conflicts with previous menus: without it, a

% this way, one knows what the \dtx{} are immediately without having to
% search for them in the \texttt{.mbs} documentation. 
% 
% This is relatively easy to do, so I have added it, but only as an option.
% (How that word is overused in this business!) I mean, normally this full
% list of options is turned off, but if one extracts \theprog\texttt{.tex}
% from \theprog\texttt{.dtx} with the \texttt{optlist} option in addition
% to \texttt{program} then it will be turned on. It requires the macro
% |\wrxopt| that parallels |\wropt|, except that the options are listed in
