% \begin{abstract}
%   This package reimplements the \LaTeX{} \texttt{verbatim} and
%   \texttt{verbatim*} environments.
%   In addition it provides a \texttt{comment} environment
%   that skips any commands or text between
%   |\begin{comment}|
%   and the next |\end{comment}|.
%   It also defines the command |\verbatiminput| to input a whole
%   file verbatim.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \section{Usage notes}
%
% \let\docDescribeMacro\DescribeMacro
% \let\docDescribeEnv\DescribeEnv
% \def\DescribeMacro#1{}
% \def\DescribeEnv#1{}
% \LaTeX's \texttt{verbatim} and \texttt{verbatim*} environments
% have a few features that may give rise to problems. These are:
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item
%     Due to the method used to detect the closing |\end{verbatim}|
%     (i.e.\ macro parameter delimiting) you cannot leave spaces
%     between the |\end| token and |{verbatim}|.
%   \item
%     Since \TeX{} has to read all the text between the
%     |\begin{verbatim}| and the |\end{verbatim}| before it can output
%     anything, long verbatim listings may overflow \TeX's memory.
% \end{itemize}
% Whereas the first     of these points can be considered
% only a minor nuisance the other one is a real limitation.
%
%
% \DescribeEnv{verbatim}
% \DescribeEnv{verbatim*}
% This package file contains a reimplementation of the \texttt{verbatim}
% and \texttt{verbatim*} environments which overcomes these
% restrictions.
% There is, however, one incompatibility between the old and the
% new implementations of these environments: the old version
% would treat text on the same line as the |\end{verbatim}|
% command as if it were on a line by itself.
% \begin{center}
%   \bf This new version will simply ignore it.
% \end{center}
% (This is the price one has to pay for the removal of the old
% \texttt{verbatim} environment's size limitations.)
% It will, however, issue a warning message of the form
% \begin{verbatim}
%LaTeX warning: Characters dropped after \end{verbatim*}!
%\end{verbatim}
% This is not a real problem since this text can easily be put
% on the next line without affecting the output.
%
% This new implementation also solves the second problem mentioned
% above: it is possible to leave spaces (but \emph{not} begin a new
% line) between the |\end| and the |{verbatim}| or |{verbatim*}|:
% \begin{verbatim}
%\begin {verbatim*}
%   test
%   test
%\end {verbatim*}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% \DescribeEnv{comment}
% Additionally we introduce a \texttt{comment} environment, with the
% effect that the text between |\begin{comment}| and |\end{comment}|
% is simply ignored, regardless of what it looks like.
% At first sight this seems to be quite different from the purpose
% of verbatim listing, but actually the implementation of these two
% concepts turns out to be very similar.
% Both rely on the fact that the text between |\begin{...}| and
% |\end{...}| is read by \TeX{} without interpreting any commands or
% special characters.
% The remaining difference between \texttt{verbatim} and
% \texttt{comment} is only that the text is to be typeset in the
% first case and to be thrown away in the latter. Note that these
% environments cannot be nested.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\verbatiminput}
% |\verbatiminput| is a command with one argument that inputs a file
% verbatim, i.e.\ the command |\verbatiminput{xx.yy}|
% has the same effect as\\[2pt]
%   \hspace*{\MacroIndent}|\begin{verbatim}|\\
%   \hspace*{\MacroIndent}\meta{Contents of the file \texttt{xx.yy}}\\
%   \hspace*{\MacroIndent}|\end{verbatim}|\\[2pt]
% This command has also a |*|-variant that prints spaces as \verb*+ +.

%
% \section{Interfaces for package writers}
%
% The \texttt{verbatim} environment of \LaTeXe{} does not
% offer a good interface to programmers.
% In contrast, this package provides a simple mechanism to
% implement similar features, the \texttt{comment} environment
% implemented here being an example of what can be done and how.
%
%
% \subsection{Simple examples}
%
% It is now possible to use the \texttt{verbatim} environment to define
% environments of your own.
% E.g.,
%\begin{verbatim}
% \newenvironment{myverbatim}%
%   {\endgraf\noindent MYVERBATIM:%
%    \endgraf\verbatim}%
%   {\endverbatim}
%\end{verbatim}
% can be used afterwards like the \texttt{verbatim} environment, i.e.
% \begin{verbatim}
%\begin {myverbatim}
%  test
%  test
%\end {myverbatim}
%\end{verbatim}
% Another way to use it is to write
% \begin{verbatim}
%\let\foo=\comment
%\let\endfoo=\endcomment
%\end{verbatim}
% and from that point on environment \texttt{foo} is the same as the
% comment environment, i.e.\ everything inside its body is ignored.
%
% You may also add special commands after the |\verbatim| macro is
% invoked, e.g.
%\begin{verbatim}
%\newenvironment{myverbatim}%
%  {\verbatim\myspecialverbatimsetup}%
%  {\endverbatim}
%\end{verbatim}
% though you may want to learn about the hook |\every@verbatim| at
% this point.
% \changes{v1.5h}{1995/09/21}{Clarified documentation on use of other
%               environments to define new verbatim-type ones.}
% However, there are still a number of restrictions:
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item
%     You must not use the |\begin| or the |\end| command inside a
%     definition, e.g.~the following two examples will \emph{not} work:
%\begin{verbatim*}
%\newenvironment{myverbatim}%
%{\endgraf\noindent MYVERBATIM:%
% \endgraf\begin{verbatim}}%
%{\end{verbatim}}
%\newenvironment{fred}
%{\begin{minipage}{30mm}\verbatim}
%{\endverbatim\end{minipage}}
%\end{verbatim*}
%     If you try these examples, \TeX{} will report a
%     ``runaway argument'' error.
%     More generally, it is not possible to use
%     |\begin|\ldots\allowbreak|\end|
%     or the related environments in the definition of the new
%     environment. Instead, the correct way to define this environment
%     would be
%    \begin{verbatim*}
%\newenvironment{fred}
%{\minipage{30mm}\verbatim}
%{\endverbatim\endminipage}
%\end{verbatim*}
%   \item
%     You can\emph{not} use the \texttt{verbatim} environment inside
%     user defined \emph{commands}; e.g.,
% \changes{v1.4g}{1991/11/21}{Corrected wrong position of optional
%        argument to \cs{newcommand}. Discovered by Piet van Oostrum.}
%     \begin{verbatim*}
%\newcommand{\verbatimfile}[1]%
%           {\begin{verbatim}\input{#1}\end{verbatim}}
%\end{verbatim*}
%     does \emph{not} work; nor does
%     \begin{verbatim}
%\newcommand{\verbatimfile}[1]{\verbatim\input{#1}\endverbatim}
%\end{verbatim}
%   \item The name of the newly defined environment must not contain
%     characters with category code other than $11$ (letter) or
%     $12$ (other), or this will not work.
% \end{enumerate}
%
%
% \subsection{The interfaces}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\verbatim@font}
% Let us start with the simple things.
% Sometimes it may be necessary to use a special typeface for your
% verbatim text, or perhaps the usual computer modern typewriter shape
% in a reduced size.
%
% You may select this by redefining the macro |\verbatim@font|.
% This macro is executed at the beginning of every verbatim text to
% select the font shape.
% Do not use it for other purposes; if you find yourself abusing this
% you may want to read about the |\every@verbatim| hook below.
%
% By default, |\verbatim@font| switches to the typewriter font and
% disables the ligatures contained therein.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\every@verbatim}
% \DescribeMacro{\addto@hook}
% There is a hook (i.e.\ a token register) called |\every@verbatim|
% whose contents are inserted into \TeX's mouth just before every
% verbatim text.
% Please use the |\addto@hook| macro to add something to this hook.
% It is used as follows:\\[2pt]
% \hspace*{\MacroIndent}|\addto@hook|\meta{name of the hook}^^A
%  |{|\meta{commands to be added}|}|
% \vspace*{2pt}
%
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\verbatim@start}
% After all specific setup, like switching of category codes, has been
% done, the |\verbatim@start| macro is called.
% This starts the main loop of the scanning mechanism implemented here.
% Any other environment that wants to make use of this feature should
% execute this macro as its last action.
%
%
% \DescribeMacro{\verbatim@startline}
% \DescribeMacro{\verbatim@addtoline}
% \DescribeMacro{\verbatim@processline}
% \DescribeMacro{\verbatim@finish}
% These are the things that concern the start of a verbatim
% environment.
% Once this (and other) setup has been done, the code in this package
% reads and processes characters from the input stream in the
% following way:
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item Before the first character of an input line is read, it
%     executes the macro |\verbatim@startline|.
%   \item After some characters have been read, the macro
%     |\verbatim@addtoline| is called with these characters as its only
%     argument.
%     This may happen several times per line (when an |\end| command is
%     present on the line in question).
%   \item When the end of the line is reached, the macro
%     |\verbatim@processline| is called to process the characters that
%     |\verbatim@addtoline| has accumulated.
%   \item Finally, there is the macro |\verbatim@finish| that is called
%     just before the environment is ended by a call to the |\end|
%      macro.
% \end{enumerate}
%
%
% To make this clear let us consider the standard \texttt{verbatim}
% environment.
% In this case the three macros above are defined as follows:
% \begin{enumerate}
%   \item |\verbatim@startline| clears the character buffer
%     (a token register).
%   \item |\verbatim@addtoline| adds its argument to the character
%     buffer.
%   \item |\verbatim@processline| typesets the characters accumulated
%     in the buffer.
% \end{enumerate}
% With this it is very simple to implement the \texttt{comment}
% environment:
% in this case |\verbatim@startline| and |\verbatim@processline| are
% defined to be
% no-ops whereas |\verbatim@addtoline| discards its argument.
%
%
% Let's use this to define a variant of the |verbatim|
% environment that prints line numbers in the left margin.
% Assume that this would be done by a counter called |VerbatimLineNo|.
% Assuming that this counter was initialized properly by the
% environment, |\verbatim@processline| would be defined in this case as
% \begin{verbatim}
%\def\verbatim@processline{%
%  \addtocounter{VerbatimLineNo}{1}%
%  \leavevmode
%  \llap{\theVerbatimLineNo\ \hskip\@totalleftmargin}%
%  \the\verbatim@line\par}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% A further possibility is to define a variant of the |verbatim|
% environment that boxes and centers the whole verbatim text.
% Note that the boxed text should be less than a page, otherwise you
% have to change this example.
%
%\begin{verbatim}
%\def\verbatimboxed#1{\begingroup
%  \def\verbatim@processline{%
%    {\setbox0=\hbox{\the\verbatim@line}%
%     \hsize=\wd0
%     \the\verbatim@line\par}}%
%  \setbox0=\vbox{\parskip=0pt\topsep=0pt\partopsep=0pt
%                 \verbatiminput{#1}}%
%  \begin{center}\fbox{\box0}\end{center}%
% \endgroup}
%\end{verbatim}
%
% As a final nontrivial example we describe the definition of an
% environment called \texttt{verbatimwrite}.
% It writes all text in its body to a file whose name is
% given as an argument.
% We assume that a stream number called |\verbatim@out| has already
% been reserved by means of the |\newwrite| macro.
%
% Let's begin with the definition of the macro |\verbatimwrite|.
% \begin{verbatim}
%\def\verbatimwrite#1{%
%\end{verbatim}
% First we call |\@bsphack| so that this environment does not influence
% the spacing.
% Then we open the file and set the category codes of all special
% characters:
% \changes{v1.5t}{2020-07-05}{Added quotes around the filename in
%    order to allow a filename with spaces; also added a space and
%    comment-character to allow for thespace dlimited argument.} 
% \begin{verbatim}
%  \@bsphack
%  \immediate\openout \verbatim@out "#1" %
%  \let\do\@makeother\dospecials
%  \catcode`\^^M\active
%\end{verbatim}
% The default definitions of the macros
% \begin{verbatim}
%  \verbatim@startline
%  \verbatim@addtoline
%  \verbatim@finish
%\end{verbatim}
% are also used in this environment.
% Only the macro |\verbatim@processline| has to be changed before
% |\verbatim@start| is called:
% \begin{verbatim}
%  \def\verbatim@processline{%
%    \immediate\write\verbatim@out{\the\verbatim@line}}%
%  \verbatim@start}
%\end{verbatim}
% The definition of |\endverbatimwrite| is very simple:
% we close the stream and call |\@esphack| to get the spacing right.
% \begin{verbatim}
%\def\endverbatimwrite{\immediate\closeout\verbatim@out\@esphack}
%\end{verbatim}

% \begin{macro}{\verbatim@finish}
%    As a default, |\verbatim@finish| processes the remaining
%    characters.
%    When this macro is called we are facing the following problem:
%    when the |\end{verbatim}|
%    command is encountered |\verbatim@processline| is called
%    to process the characters preceding the command on the same
%    line.  If there are none, an empty line would be output if we
%    did not check for this case.
%
%    If the line is empty |\the\verbatim@line| expands to
%    nothing.  To test this we use a trick similar to that on p.\ 376
%    of the \TeX{}book, but with |$|\ldots|$| instead of
%    the |!| tokens.  These |$| tokens can never have the same
%    category code as a |$| token that might possibly appear in the
%    token register |\verbatim@line|, as such a token will always have
%    been read with category code $12$ (other).
%    Note that |\ifcat| expands the following tokens so that
%    |\the\verbatim@line| is replaced by the accumulated
%    characters

%                           (Problem pointed out by Chris Rowley.)}
%    There's one point to make here:
%    the \texttt{list} environment uses \TeX's |\parshape|
%    primitive to get a special indentation for the first line
%    of the  list.
%    If the list begins with a \texttt{verbatim} environment
%    this |\parshape| is still in effect.
%    Therefore we have to reset this internal parameter explicitly.
%    We could do this by assigning $0$ to |\parshape|.
%    However, there is a simpler way to achieve this:
%    we simply tell \TeX{} to start a new paragraph.
%    As is explained on p.~103 of the \TeX{}book, this resets
%    |\parshape| to zero.
% \changes{v1.1c}{1989/10/19}{Replaced explicit resetting of

%    \begin{macrocode}
  \@@par
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We now ensure that |\par| has the correct definition,
%    namely to force \TeX{} into horizontal mode
%    and to include an empty box.
%    This is to ensure that empty lines do appear in the output.
%    Afterwards, we insert the |\interlinepenalty| since \TeX{}
%    does not add a penalty between paragraphs (here: lines)
%    by its own initiative. Otherwise a |verbatim| environment
%    could be broken across pages even if a |\samepage|
%    declaration were present.
%
%    However, in a top-aligned minipage, this will result in an extra
%    empty line added at the top. Therefore, a slightly more
%    complicated construct is necessary.
%    One of the important things here is the inclusion of

%    The |\comment| macro is similar to |\verbatim*|.
%    However, we do not need to switch fonts or set special

%    In contrast to the default definitions used by the
%    |\verbatim| and |\verbatim*| macros,
%    we define |\verbatim@addtoline| to throw away its argument

%    and |\verbatim@finish| to act as no-ops.

%    |\endcomment| is very simple: it only calls

%
% \subsection{The main loop}
%
% Here comes the tricky part:
% During the definition of the macros we need to use the special
% characters |\|, |{|, and |}| not only with their
% normal category codes,
% but also with category code $12$ (other).
% We achieve this by the following trick:
% first we tell \TeX{} that |\|, |{|, and |}|
% are the lowercase versions of |!|, |[|, and |]|.
% Then we replace every occurrence of |\|, |{|, and |}|
% that should be read with category code $12$ by |!|, |[|,
% and |]|, respectively,
% and give the whole list of tokens to |\lowercase|,
% knowing that category codes are not altered by this primitive!
%
% But first we have ensure that
% |!|, |[|, and |]| themselves have
% the correct category code!
% \changes{v1.3b}{1990/02/07}{Introduced \cs{vrb@catcodes} instead
%                  of explicit setting of category codes.}
% To allow special settings of these codes we hide their setting in
% the macro |\vrb@catcodes|.  If it is already defined our new
% definition is skipped.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\@ifundefined{vrb@catcodes}%
  {\def\vrb@catcodes{%
     \catcode`\!12\catcode`\[12\catcode`\]12}}{}
%    \end{macrocode}
% This trick allows us to use this code for applications where other
% category codes are in effect.
%
% We start a group to keep the category code changes local.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\begingroup
 \vrb@catcodes
 \lccode`\!=`\\ \lccode`\[=`\{ \lccode`\]=`\}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \changes{v1.2f}{1990/01/31}{Code for TABs removed.}
%    We also need the end-of-line character |^^M|,
%    as an active character.
%    If we were to simply write |\catcode`\^^M=\active|
%    then we would get an unwanted active end of line character
%    at the end of every line of the following macro definitions.
%    Therefore we use the same trick as above:
%    we write a tilde |~| instead of |^^M| and
%    pretend that the
%    latter is the lowercase variant of the former.
%    Thus we have to ensure now that the tilde character has
%    category code $13$ (active).
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \catcode`\~=\active \lccode`\~=`\^^M
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The use of the |\lowercase| primitive leads to one problem:
%    the uppercase character `|C|' needs to be used in the
%    code below and its case must be preserved.
%    So we add the command:
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \lccode`\C=`\C
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Now we start the token list passed to |\lowercase|.
%    We use the following little trick (proposed by Bernd Raichle):
%    The very first token in the token list we give to |\lowercase| is
%    the |\endgroup| primitive. This means that it is processed by
%    \TeX{} immediately after |\lowercase| has finished its operation,
%    thus ending the group started by |\begingroup| above. This avoids
%    the global definition of all macros.
%    \begin{macrocode}
 \lowercase{\endgroup
%    \end{macrocode}
% \begin{macro}{\verbatim@start}
%    The purpose of |\verbatim@start| is to check whether there
%    are any characters on the same line as the |\begin{verbatim}|
%    and to pretend that they were on a line by themselves.
%    On the other hand, if there are no characters remaining
%    on the current line we shall just find an end of line character.
%    |\verbatim@start| performs its task by first grabbing the
%    following character (its argument).
%    This argument is then compared to an active |^^M|,
%    the end of line character.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \def\verbatim@start#1{%
      \verbatim@startline
      \if\noexpand#1\noexpand~%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If this is true we transfer control to |\verbatim@|
%    to process the next line.  We use
%    |\next| as the macro which will continue the work.
%    \begin{macrocode}
        \let\next\verbatim@
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Otherwise, we define |\next| to expand to a call
%    to |\verbatim@| followed by the character just
%    read so that it is reinserted into the text.
%    This means that those characters remaining on this line
%    are handled as if they formed a line by themselves.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \else \def\next{\verbatim@#1}\fi
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Finally we call |\next|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      \next}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\verbatim@}
%    The three macros |\verbatim@|, |\verbatim@@|,
%    and |\verbatim@@@| form the ``main loop'' of the
%    \texttt{verbatim} environment.
%    The purpose of |\verbatim@| is to read exactly one line
%    of input.
%    |\verbatim@@| and |\verbatim@@@| work together to
%    find out whether the four characters
%    |\end| (all with category code $12$ (other)) occur in that
%    line.
%    If so, |\verbatim@@@| will call
%    |\verbatim@test| to check whether this |\end| is
%    part of |\end{verbatim}| and will terminate the environment
%    if this is the case.
%    Otherwise we continue as if nothing had happened.
%    So let's have a look at the definition of |\verbatim@|:
% \changes{v1.1a}{1989/10/16}{Replaced \cs{verbatim@@@} by \cs{@nil}.}
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \def\verbatim@#1~{\verbatim@@#1!end\@nil}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Note that the |!| character will have been replaced by a
%    |\| with category code $12$ (other) by the |\lowercase|
%    primitive governing this code before the definition of this
%    macro actually takes place.
%    That means that
%    it takes the line, puts |\end| (four character tokens)
%    and |\@nil| (one control sequence token) as a
%    delimiter behind it, and
%    then calls |\verbatim@@|.
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\verbatim@@}
%    |\verbatim@@| takes everything up to the next occurrence of
%    the four characters |\end| as its argument.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \def\verbatim@@#1!end{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    That means: if they do not occur in the original line, then
%    argument |#1| is the
%    whole input line, and |\@nil| is the next token
%    to be processed.
%    However, if the four characters |\end| are part of the
%    original line, then
%    |#1| consists of the characters in front of |\end|,
%    and the next token is the following character (always remember
%    that the line was lengthened by five tokens).
%    Whatever |#1| may be, it is verbatim text,
%    so |#1| is added to the line currently built.
%    \begin{macrocode}
       \verbatim@addtoline{#1}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The next token in the input stream
%    is of special interest to us.

%    Before we continue, it's a good idea to stop for a moment
%    and remember where we are:
%    We have just read the four character tokens |\end|
%    and must now check whether the name of the environment (surrounded
%    by braces) follows.
%    To this end we define a macro called |\@tempa|
%    that reads exactly one character and decides what to do next.
%    This macro should do the following: skip spaces until
%    it encounters either a left brace or the end of the line.
%    But it is important to remember which characters are skipped.
%    The |\end|\meta{optional spaces}|{| characters
%    may be part of the verbatim text, i.e.\ these characters
%    must be printed.
%
%    Assume for example that the current line contains
%    \begin{verbatim*}
%      \end {AVeryLongEnvironmentName}
%\end{verbatim*}
%    As we shall soon see, the scanning mechanism implemented here
%    will not find out that this is text to be printed until
%    it has read the right brace.
%    Therefore we need a way to accumulate the characters read
%    so that we can reinsert them if necessary.
%    The token register |\@temptokena| is used for this purpose.
%
%    Before we do this we have to get rid of the superfluous
%    |\end| tokens at the end of the line.
% \changes{v1.4j}{1992/06/30}{Removed use of \cs{toks@}. Suggested by
%           Bernd Raichle.}
%    To this end we define a temporary macro whose argument

%    and one control sequence token) to be used below
%    on the rest of the line, after appending a |\@nil| token to it.
%    (Note that this token can never appear in |#1|.)
%    We use the following definition of
%    |\@tempa| to get the rest of the line (after the first
%    |\end|).
%    \begin{macrocode}
         \def\@tempa##1!end\@nil{##1}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We mentioned already that we use token register
%    |\@temptokena|
%    to remember the characters we skip, in case we need them again.
%    We initialize this with the |\end| we have thrown away
%    in the call to |\@tempa|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
         \@temptokena{!end}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We shall now call |\verbatim@test|
%    to process the characters
%    remaining on the current line.
%    But wait a moment: we cannot simply call this macro
%    since we have already read the whole line.
%    Therefore we have to first expand the macro |\@tempa| to insert
%    them again after the |\verbatim@test| token.
%    A |^^M| character is appended to denote the end of the line.
%    (Remember that this character comes disguised as a tilde.)

%
% \begin{macro}{\verbatim@@testend}
%    Unlike the previous macros |\verbatim@@testend| is simple:

%    matches the corresponding |\begin{|\ldots|}|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
    \def\verbatim@@testend{%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We use |\next| again to define the things that are
%    to be done.
%    Remember that the name of the current environment is
%    held in |\@currenvir|, the characters accumulated
%    by |\verbatim@testend| are in |\@tempc|.
%    So we simply compare these and prepare to execute
%    |\end{|\meta{current environment}|}|
%    macro if they match.
%    Before we do this we call |\verbatim@finish| to process
%    the last line.
%    We define |\next| via |\edef| so that
%    |\@currenvir| is replaced by its expansion.
%    Therefore we need |\noexpand| to inhibit the expansion
%    of |\end| at this point.
%    \begin{macrocode}
       \ifx\@tempc\@currenvir
         \verbatim@finish
         \edef\next{\noexpand\end{\@currenvir}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Without this trick the |\end| command would not be able
%    to correctly check whether its argument matches the name of
%    the current environment and you'd get an
%    interesting \LaTeX{} error message such as:
%    \begin{verbatim}
%! \begin{verbatim*} ended by \end{verbatim*}.
%\end{verbatim}
%    But what do we do with the rest of the characters, those
%    that remain on that line?
%    We call |\verbatim@rescan| to take care of that.
%    Its first argument is the name of the environment just
%    ended, in case we need it again.
%    |\verbatim@rescan| takes the list of characters to be
%    reprocessed as its second argument.
%    (This token list was inserted after the current macro
%    by |\verbatim@@@|.)
%    Since we are still in an |\edef| we protect it
%    by means of |\noexpand|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
                    \noexpand\verbatim@rescan{\@currenvir}}%
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If the names do not match, we reinsert everything read up
%    to now and prepare to call |\verbatim@| to process
%    the rest of the line.
%    \begin{macrocode}
       \else
         \expandafter\verbatim@addtoline

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\verbatim@rescan}
%    In principle |\verbatim@rescan| could be used to
%    analyse the characters remaining after the |\end{...}|
%    command and pretend that these were read
%    ``properly'', assuming ``standard'' category codes are in
%    force.\footnote{Remember that they were all read with
%          category codes $11$ (letter) and $12$ (other) so
%          that control sequences are not recognized as such.}
%    But this is not always possible (when there are unmatched
%    curly braces in the rest of the line).
%    Besides, we think that this is not worth the effort:
%    After a \texttt{verbatim} or \texttt{verbatim*} environment
%    a new line in the output is begun anyway,
%    and an |\end{comment}| can easily be put on a line by itself.
%    So there is no reason why there should be any text here.
%    For the benefit of the user who did put something there
%    (a comment, perhaps)
%    we simply issue a warning and drop them.
%    The method of testing is explained in Appendix~D, p.\ 376 of
%    the \TeX{}book. We use |^^M| instead of the |!|
%    character used there
%    since this is a character that cannot appear in |#1|.
%    The two |\noexpand| primitives are necessary to avoid
%    expansion of active characters and macros.
%
%    One extra subtlety should be noted here: remember that
%    the token list we are currently building will first be
%    processed by the |\lowercase| primitive before \TeX{}
%    carries out the definitions.
%    This means that the `|C|' character in the
%    argument to the |\@warning| macro must be protected against
%    being changed to `|c|'.  That's the reason why we added the
%    |\lccode`\C=`\C| assignment above.
%    We can now finish the argument to |\lowercase| as well as the
%    group in which the category codes were changed.

%    first. The use of |\@swaptwoargs| makes it so that the

%    of |\verbatim@readfile|.

%
% \subsection{Getting verbatim text into arguments}
%
% One way of achieving this is to define a macro (command) whose
% expansion is the required verbatim text.  This command can then be
% used anywhere that the verbatim text is required.  It can be used in
% arguments, even moving ones, but it is fragile (at least, the
% version here is).
%
% Here is some code which claims to provide this.  It is a much revised
% version of something I (Chris) did about 2 years ago.  Maybe it needs
% further revision.
%
% It is only intended as an extension to |\verb|, not to the
% \texttt{verbatim} environment.  It should therefore, perhaps, treat
% line-ends similarly to whatever is best for |\verb|.
%
% \begin{macro}{\newverbtext}
% This is the command to produce a new macro whose expansion is
% verbatim text.  This command itself cannot be used in arguments,
% of course! It is used as follows:
%
% \begin{verbatim}
%    \newverbtext{\myverb}"^%{ &~_\}}@ #"
% \end{verbatim}
%
% The rules for delimiting the verbatim text are the same as those for
% |\verb|.
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*verbtext>
\def \newverbtext {%
  \@ifstar {\@tempswatrue \@verbtext }{\@tempswafalse \@verbtext *}%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%    I think that a temporary switch is safe here: if not, then
%    suitable |\let|s can be used.
%    \changes{v1.5i}{1996/06/04}{Moved processing of
%              \cs{verbatim@nolig@list} after \cs{dospecials}.}
%    \changes{v1.5p}{2001/03/12}{Added missing right brace in
%               definition of \cs{@verbtext} (PR 3314).}
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def \@verbtext *#1#2{%
   \begingroup
     \let\do\@makeother \dospecials
     \let\do\do@noligs \verbatim@nolig@list
     \@vobeyspaces
     \catcode`#2\active
     \catcode`~\active
     \lccode`\~`#2%
     \lowercase
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We use a temporary macro here and a trick so that the definition of
%    the command itself can be done inside the group and be a local
%    definition (there may be better ways to achieve this).
%    \begin{macrocode}
     {\def \@tempa ##1~%
           {\whitespaces
%    \end{macrocode}
%    If these |\noexpand|s were |\noexpand\protect\noexpand|, would
%    this make these things robust?
%    \begin{macrocode}
            \edef #1{\noexpand \@verbtextmcheck
                     \bgroup
                     \if@tempswa
                       \noexpand \visiblespaces
                     \fi
                     \noexpand \@verbtextsetup
                     ##1%
                     \egroup}%
            }%
      \expandafter\endgroup\@tempa
     }
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    This sets up the correct type of group for the mode: it must not
%    be expanded at define time!
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def \@verbtextmcheck {%
   \relax\ifmmode
           \hbox
         \else
           \leavevmode
           \null
         \fi
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    This contains other things which should not be expanded during the
%    definition.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def \@verbtextsetup {%
   \frenchspacing
   \verbatim@font
   \verbtextstyle
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    The command |\verbtextstyle| is a document-level hook which can be
%    used to override the predefined typographic treatment of commands
%    defined with |\newverbtext| commands.
%
%    |\visiblespaces| and |\whitespaces| are examples of possible values
%    of this hook.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\let \verbtextstyle \relax
\def \visiblespaces {\chardef \  32\relax}
\def \whitespaces {\let \ \@@space}
\let \@@space \ %
%</verbtext>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%
% \section{Testing the implementation}
%
% For testing the implementation and for demonstration we provide
% an extra file. It can be extracted by using the conditional
% `\textsf{testdriver}'. It uses a small input file called
% `\texttt{verbtest.tst}' that is distributed separately.
% Again, we use individual `+' guards.
