% \section{Introduction}
% The argument to "\hhline" is similar to the preamble of an {\tt
% array} or {\tt tabular}. It consists of a list of tokens with the
% following meanings:
% \[
% \begin{tabular}{cl}
%   "="   & A double hline the width of a column.\\
%   "-"   & A single hline the width of a column.\\[10pt]
%   "~"   & A column with no hline.\\[10pt]
%
%   "|"   & A vline which `cuts' through a double (or single) hline.\\
%   ":"   & A vline which is broken by a double hline.\\[10pt]
%
%   "#"   & A double hline segment between two vlines.\\
%   "t"   & The top half of a double hline segment.\\
%   "b"   & The bottom half of a double hline segment.\\
%
%   "*"   & "*{3}{==#}" expands to "==#==#==#",
%                   as in the {\tt*}-form for the preamble.
% \end{tabular}
% \]
% If a double vline is specified ("||" or "::") then the hlines
% produced by "\hhline" are broken. To obtain the effect of an hline
% `cutting through' the double vline, use a "#" or omit the vline
% specifiers, depending on whether or not you wish the double vline to
% break.
%
% The tokens {\tt t} and {\tt b} must be used between two vertical
% rules. "|tb|" produces the same lines  as "#", but is much less
% efficient. The main use for these are to make constructions like
% "|t:" (top left corner) and ":b|" (bottom right corner).
%
% If "\hhline" is used to make a single hline, then the argument
% should only contain the tokens "-", "~"  and "|" (and
% {\tt*}-expressions).
%
% An example using most of these features is:
% \[
% \vcenter{\hsize=2in\begin{verbatim}
% \begin{tabular}{||cc||c|c||}
% \hhline{|t:==:t:==:t|}
% a&b&c&d\\
% \hhline{|:==:|~|~||}
% 1&2&3&4\\
% \hhline{#==#~|=#}
% i&j&k&l\\
% \hhline{||--||--||}
% w&x&y&z\\
% \hhline{|b:==:b:==:b|}
% \end{tabular}
% \end{verbatim}
% }
% \qquad
% \begin{tabular}{||cc||c|c||}
% \hhline{|t:==:t:==:t|}
% a&b&c&d\\
% \hhline{|:==:|~|~||}
% 1&2&3&4\\
% \hhline{#==#~|=#}
% i&j&k&l\\
% \hhline{||--||--||}
% w&x&y&z\\
% \hhline{|b:==:b:==:b|}
% \end{tabular}
% \]
%
% The lines produced by \LaTeX's "\hline" consist of a single (\TeX\
% primitive) "\hrule". The lines produced by "\hhline" are made
% up of lots of small line segments. \TeX\ will place these very
% accurately in the {\tt .dvi} file, but the program that you use to
% print the {\tt .dvi} file may not line up these segments exactly. (A
% similar problem can occur with diagonal lines in the {\tt picture}
% environment.)
%
% If this effect causes a problem, you could try a different driver
% program, or if this is not possible, increasing "\arrayrulewidth"
% may help to reduce the effect.

%
%    \begin{macrocode}
%<*package>
%    \end{macrocode}
%
% \begin{macro}{\HH@box}
% Makes a box containing a double hline segment. The most common case,
% both rules of length "\doublerulesep" will be stored in "\box1", this
% is not initialised until "\hhline" is called as the user may change
% the parameters "\doublerulesep" and "\arrayrulewidth". The two
% arguments to "\HH@box" are the widths (ie lengths) of the top and
% bottom rules.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\HH@box#1#2{\vbox{%
  \hrule \@height \arrayrulewidth \@width #1
  \vskip \doublerulesep
  \hrule \@height \arrayrulewidth \@width #2}}

% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\HH@add}
% Build up the preamble in the register "\toks@".
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\HH@add#1{\toks@\expandafter{\the\toks@#1}}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}

% \begin{macro}{\HH@xexpast}
% \begin{macro}{\HH@xexnoop}
% We `borrow' the version of "\@xexpast" from Mittelbach's array.sty,
% as this allows "#" to appear in the argument list.
%    \begin{macrocode}

%
% \begin{macro}{\hhline}
% Use a simplified version of "\@mkpream" to break apart the argument
% to "\hhline". Actually it is oversimplified, It assumes that the
% vertical rules are at the end of the column. If you were to specify
% "c|@{xx}|" in the array argument, then "\hhline" would not be
% able to access the first vertical rule. (It ought to have an "@"
% option, and add "\leaders" up to the width of a box containing the
% "@"-expression. We use a loop made with "\futurelet" rather
% than "\@tfor" so that we can use "#" to denote the crossing of
% a double hline with a double vline.\\
% "\if@firstamp" is true in the first column and false otherwise.\\
% "\if@tempswa"  is true if the previous entry was a vline
%                     (":", "|" or "#").
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\hhline#1{\omit\@firstamptrue\@tempswafalse

% "\hskip"'s around vertical rules.
%    \begin{macrocode}
  \xdef\@tempc{\ifx\extrarowheight\HH@undef\hskip-.5\arrayrulewidth\fi}%
%    \end{macrocode}
% Now expand the {\tt*}-forms and add dummy tokens ( "\relax" and
% "`" ) to either end of the token list. Call "\HH@let" to start
% processing the token list.
