\section{Introduction}

A crucial step in designing a lecture course is to estimate
the time needed for presenting the individual topics and to
arrange them such that the overall teaching goals can be achieved
within a predetermined amount of time.
This step requires a lot of experience and the information is typically lost
when (parts of) the lecture notes are recycled by different lecturer.
While it is very useful to have timing information available
for a number of purposes,
it also takes patience and dedication to
set it up and to keep it up to date when
the presented material is changed (added, removed or shuffled).

This package offers an interface to store such timing information
in the \LaTeX{} source. It also offers some tools
to process the raw data and display them in compiled form.
The goals and features of this package include the following:
\begin{itemize}
\item
Store timing information in the \LaTeX{} source
(as absolute or relative times).
\item
Show small timing marks in the margin of the text.
\item
Indicate where sessions begin and end in the \LaTeX{} source
and display session information in the text margin.
\item
Show the total time needed to present a given block, chapter or session
at its start.
\item
Generate a table of sessions to track and estimate the progress
throughout the course.
\item
Show brief comments regarding presentation,
e.g.\ to skip certain parts or to pay particular attention.
\item
Maintain timing information in updates as conveniently as possible.
\item
Automatically generate the subdivision of sessions
(based on the timing information provided).
\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Usage}

This section describes the structures, markup and mechanisms
provided by the package and some hints how to structure and maintain
the information within the document.
A complete reference of commands
and configuration options in given in section \ref{sec:commands}.

To use the package \textsf{sesstime} add the command
\begin{center}
|\usepackage{sesstime}|
\end{center}
to the preamble of your \LaTeX{} document.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Blocks}

The basic timing information is entered in a unit called \emph{block}.
It has the following generic structure:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingstart{15}|\\
|abc|\\
|def|\\
|\timingsplit{30}|\\
|ghi|\\
|jkl|\\
|\timingsplit{40}|\\
|mno|\\
|pqr|\\
|\timingstop{1:00}|\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
The above timing information is provided as absolute times
(in [hours:]minutes),
such that the block begins at 15 minutes and ends at 1 hour.
It thus takes 45 minutes in total to present this block.
Furthermore, two intermediate times are specified at 15 minutes
and 25 minutes into the block
(albeit in the form of absolute times).
The timing information for the block will be displayed as:
\vspace{2ex}
\begin{center}
\vrule\begin{minipage}{3em}
\printmark{\textbf{90}\rlap{\vphantom{$\Updownarrow$}}\kern1.2em%
  \hrule 45\rlap{\kern0.4em$\Downarrow$\vphantom{$\Updownarrow$}}\kern1.2em}
abc\\
def\par
\printmark{\raisebox{-1ex}{15\rlap{\kern0.4em$\Updownarrow$}}\kern1.2em}
ghi\\
jkl\par
\printmark{\raisebox{-1ex}{25\rlap{\kern0.4em$\Updownarrow$}}\kern1.2em}
mno\\
pqr\par
\printmark{45\rlap{\kern0.4em$\Uparrow$\vphantom{$\Updownarrow$}}%
  \kern1.2em\hrule%
  \textbf{135}\rlap{\vphantom{$\Updownarrow$}}\kern1.2em}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
\vspace{2ex}
Note that the displayed times are always relative to the block beginning.
The bold numbers show the overall time outside the block
(assuming that this block starts at 90 minutes).
Furthermore, note that two \LaTeX{} passes are
needed to display all data correctly
(as for labels).

Alternatively, the information can be entered as
relative times with respect to the previous timing command:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingstart*{0}|\\
|...|\\
|\timingsplit*{15}|\\
|...|\\
|\timingsplit*{10}|\\
|...|\\
|\timingstop*{20}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
This markup has the same effect as the above timing commands
using absolute times.
There are some benefits and shortcomings to the two modes
of entering the information,
and the choice is left to the user.
Note that relative and absolute times can be mixed
(one absolute reference point should be specified previously).

Some remarks and considerations are in order
for setting up timing blocks
and maintaining them when changing the presented material:
\begin{itemize}
\item
If the duration of some presented material is estimated,
it makes sense to specify relative times.
\item
If the duration is determined by periodically
noting the present time displayed on a clock,
it makes sense to specify these absolute times directly.
\item
When absolute times are specified, the duration of a block
is determined by the final |\timingstop| (only).
Split times given by |\timingsplit|[|*|] do not change
the overall length.
In order to change the duration of a block
when some presented material is added or removed,
all subsequent absolute times have to be adjusted.
Alternatively, additional time can be specified by:
%
\begin{center}
|\timinglapse{5}|
\end{center}
%
This command conveniently adds 5 minutes to the block
without modifying the current absolute time.
When using relative times throughout the block,
this has the same effect as |\timingsplit*{5}|.
\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Chapters}

The package provides an additional layer
of structure called \emph{chapters}.
A chapter combines several blocks in order to display
the overall required time as well as relative times within the chapter.

A chapter is enclosed by two commands
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingchapter|\\
|abc|\\
|def|\\
|ghi|\\
|\timingchapterend|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
Closing a chapter is optional,
it will be closed automatically by starting any subsequent chapter.

There are three uses to declaring chapters.
The total time for presenting the chapter is computed and
it is displayed at the start:
%
\vspace{2ex}
\begin{center}
\vrule\begin{minipage}{3em}
\printmark{\textbf{180}\rlap{\kern0.4em$\star$}\kern1.2em}
abc\\
def\\
ghi
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
%
Furthermore, the bold numbers shown in the above examples
for blocks indicate the present time relative to the beginning of the chapter.
Finally, one can also show the total time needed for any chapter
anywhere within the document,
e.g.\ for a customised table of contents
or next to the chapter title in a customised form.

It will be useful to match the chapters and blocks
to certain structures in the document.
For example, chapters could correspond to chapters or sections
depending on which documentclass is used.
If the |\include| mechanism of \LaTeX{} is used to structure the document
into several files,
it makes sense to use these units as chapters for timing purposes.
Blocks would typically correspond to the next level of structure
(sections or subsections, respectively)
and split times could be inserted naturally
at any finer levels of structure (subsubsections, paragraphs).

Establishing some guidelines how to entering timing information
will be useful because the package will then compute the total durations
of these structures and display the times at their beginnings.

For maintenance purposes, a typical block could last
around 30 minutes to an hour and be split at no more than a handful instances;
more split times will take more efforts in maintaining across updates.
There is no practical limitation to the length of individual chapters
as times are computed automatically;
typically it would consist of a couple of blocks.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Sessions}

Chapters will normally not map one-to-one to the units of presentation
(individual lectures) which we shall call \emph{sessions}.
It may be useful to keep track or estimate
where each session will start (or end).
There are two mechanisms to specify sessions.
The manual declaration takes the form:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingsession|\\
|abc|\\
|def|\\
|ghi|\\
|\timingsessionend|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
Again, closing a session is optional,
it will be closed automatically by starting any subsequent session.
Alternatively, the subdivision of sessions can be automatically
estimated by the command:
%
\begin{center}
|\timingconfigure{autosession=|\textit{duration}|}|
\end{center}
%
This declares the duration of a session to be \textit{duration} minutes.
New sessions will be started automatically when the available time for the
previous session has elapsed
(as far as possible with the timing information provided).

Sessions have two uses.
The start of a session is indicated in the margin
together with its duration:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}{3em}
\printremark{session 4\\(35 min)}
abc\\
def\\
ghi
\end{minipage}\vrule
\end{center}
%
Furthermore, a list of sessions can be displayed by the command:
%
\begin{center}
|\timinglistofsessions|
\end{center}
%
The list of sessions can serve two purposes in planning a lecture course.
First, it outlines the (approximate) overall schedule and
allows one to find out conveniently whether
there will be sufficiently many sessions to cover the intended material.
Second, the preview can help coordinating the
topics for exercises to accompany the course.

Note that the automatic assignment of sessions
relies on the timing information provided in the blocks.
On the one hand, the latter should be sufficiently fine-grained
so that the session breaks can be located accurately.
On the other hand, it will not be worth the effort
to establish too detailed information.
Providing one timing mark for around
one third of the duration of a session
will produce reasonable results.
In the case of coarse-grained information,
new sessions will be triggered such that
the overall schedule remains approximately valid.
The session marks will then be displayed some time
after the session is expected is start, and the
time difference is displayed.

Note also that the list of sessions
and total times rely on information stored in the |.aux| files.
In order to update the information, it may be necessary
to compile the complete document (without |\includeonly| statements) twice.

Finally, it may be useful to emphasise that
session marks can also be displayed without providing timing information.
In that case, the subdivision of session evidently
cannot be generated automatically, but must be stored manually.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Comments}

Occasionally it is useful to write some brief comments or instructions
in the margin of lecture notes.
While there are native \LaTeX{} tools to do so,
the package provides an integrated mechanism:
%
\begin{center}
|\timingcomment{|\textit{comment}|}|
\end{center}
%
Such comments can serve many purposes, such as:
%
\begin{itemize}
\textwidth0.9\textwidth
\printremark{skipped}
\item
`skipped': The following part is skipped in the presentation.\par
\printremark{brief!}
\item
`brief!': Be brief! Do not waste time!\par
\printremark{explain!}
\item
`explain!': Explain well! Take your time!\par
\printremark{exercise}
\item
`exercise': Hint at an accompanying exercise.
\item
\ldots
\end{itemize}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Flags}
\label{sec:flags}

The package allows to specify flags to distinguish
different versions of the document
or to set it up for different purposes
(e.g.\ a particular iteration of the lecture course
or lecture notes vs.\ textbook):
%
\begin{center}
|\timingconfigure{flags={|\textit{flags}|}}|
\end{center}
%
Here \textit{flags} is a comma-separated list of user-defined flags.
Please avoid special characters and spaces (spaces next to
comma separators are presently not ignored).

Most timing commands provided by the package
accept an optional argument which can be
|[if=|\textit{flag}|]| or |[not=|\textit{flag}|]|
(or combinations of these separated by comma).
These commands will be processed only if the specified condition(s) hold.
For example, the commands
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingcomment[if=2017]{skip}|\\
|\timinglapse[if=2017]{-10}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
can be used to indicate that the following part of the text is skipped
in the 2017 iteration of the lecture course,
and 10 minutes are saved by this omission.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Printing}

Detailed timing information or comments may be intended for
private purposes only,
while these marks should be stripped in a public version of the document.
The package supplies some global options to enable and disable
the printing of timing marks.
To turn off all marks, use the package option:
%
\begin{center}
|\timingconfigure{print=false}|
\end{center}
%
Also individual types of timing marks can be suppressed
by similar package options,
see section \ref{sec:packageoptions}.
For a finer selection or suppression of comments,
one could use an optional argument such as
|[if=private]| (only in the private version)
or |[not=public]| (only in the public version),
see section \ref{sec:flags}.

Please note that the package uses a simple
mechanism to place timing marks and comments in the margin
next to the current location. This mechanism
requires \TeX{} to be in so-called vertical mode
(loosely speaking the space between paragraphs);
marks cannot be set in horizontal mode
(text within the paragraphs).
As timing marks are naturally placed between the paragraphs
and to avoid complications, a paragraph is automatically broken
when a timing mark is placed in horizontal mode.
This has the effect of splitting the current paragraph in two
or occasionally inserting some extra vertical space between paragraphs.
Note that this applies only if timing marks are actually printed,
otherwise the structure of paragraphs is left untouched.

Relatedly, it makes no sense to place timing marks \emph{after}
a (sub)paragraph command which enforces horizontal mode
to stay on the same line as the (sub)paragraph title;
place any marks before the (sub)paragraph command.
Also place timing marks at your own risk
within manually designed boxes or minipages
and avoid using them in mathematical mode.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Customisation}

The package provides some default layout for the various
pieces of information to be displayed. However, it makes
sense to customise some of these.

For example, one could provide a list of session dates
and customise the session display
by changing the commands |\timingprintsession|
and/or |\timingsessionline|
to show the time instead of the session number.
See appendix \ref{sec:sample} for a sample implementation.

Please refer to the command reference in section \ref{sec:commands}
as well as the implementation in appendix \ref{sec:implementation}
to find out about commands to be customised:
Commands suitable for customisation are among
the public ones (prefix |timing|)
and they should not make reference
to internal commands (prefix |sti@|).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\section{Command Reference}
\label{sec:commands}

This section describes the commands provided by the package \textit{sesstime}.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Blocks}
\label{sec:blocks}

\DescribeMacro{\timingstart}
\DescribeMacro{\timingsplit}
\DescribeMacro{\timingstop}
\DescribeMacro{\timingnext}
Timing information is entered using the block commands:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingstart[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{abstime}|}|\\
|\timingsplit[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{abstime}|}|\\
|\timingstop[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{abstime}|}|\\
|\timingnext[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{abstime}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
The optional argument \textit{cond}
is a comma-separated list of options described in
section \ref{sec:flagsref}.
The argument \textit{abstime} represents the absolute time at this instant;
it can be specified in minutes
or in the format \textit{hour}|:|\textit{minutes}.
The first three of the above commands
start, split or stop a block, respectively.
The last command stops a block and starts the next one at the same time.

Each of these commands has an alternative form:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingstart*[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{reltime}|}|\\
|\timingsplit*[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{reltime}|}|\\
|\timingstop*[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{reltime}|}|\\
|\timingnext*[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{reltime}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
Here the argument \textit{reltime} is a relative time (in minutes)
based on the previous block command.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\medskip
\noindent
\DescribeMacro{\timinglapse}
\DescribeMacro{\timinggauge}
There are two further commands to tweak the timers in useful ways:
%
\begin{center}
|\timinglapse[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{reltime}|}|
\end{center}
%
This command lets all timers evolve by \textit{reltime} minutes
while keeping the absolute time fixed.
It can be used to add or remove time from a block
which is otherwise specified by absolute times.
Instead of adjusting all later times by the lapse,
it suffices to insert this command between two
absolute time commands.

The other command implements the opposite effect:
%
\begin{center}
|\timinggauge[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{abstime}|}|
\end{center}
%
This command adjusts the current reference time to \textit{abstime}
(specified as minutes or in the format \textit{hour}|:|\textit{minutes})
without evolving any of the timers.
This can be used if a block stretches over several sessions
where the absolute time changes between sessions.
Gauging the time allows one to enter absolute times
as read off from a clock.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\medskip
\noindent
\DescribeMacro{\timingblocktotal}
The total time of the current block (in minutes) can be obtained
by the command:
\begin{center}
|\timingblocktotal|[|*|]|[|\textit{error}|]|
\end{center}
The duration is saved into the macro |\timingreturn|.
The starred form returns the duration of the subsequent block
instead of the current block.
If the time cannot be determined the optional argument \textit{error}
(default value `??') is returned.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Chapters}
\label{sec:chapters}

\DescribeMacro{\timingchapter}
\DescribeMacro{\timingchapterend}
Chapters are started and ended by the commands:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingchapter[|\textit{cond}|]|\\
|\timingchapterend[|\textit{cond}|]|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\medskip
\noindent
\DescribeMacro{\timingchapterlabel}
\DescribeMacro{\timingchaptertotal}
The total duration of a chapter is determined by the commands:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingchapterlabel{|\textit{label}|}|\\
|\timingchaptertotal[|\textit{error}|]{|\textit{label}|}|\\
|\timingchaptertotal*[|\textit{error}|]{|\textit{chapter}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
The first one must be invoked within
a chapter to assign the label \textit{label}.
The second one saves the duration
for the chapter labelled by \textit{label}
into the macro |\timingreturn|.
The third (starred) form selects the chapter by the number \textit{chapter}.
If undetermined, the optional argument \textit{error} (default value `??')
is returned.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Sessions}
\label{sec:sessions}

\DescribeMacro{\timingsession}
\DescribeMacro{\timingsessionend}
Sessions are started and ended by the commands:
%
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
|\timingsession[|\textit{cond}|]|\\
|\timingsessionend[|\textit{cond}|]|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\medskip
\noindent
\DescribeMacro{\timinglistofsessions}
The list of sessions is printed by the command:
\begin{center}
|\timinglistofsessions|
\end{center}

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Comments}
\label{sec:comments}

\DescribeMacro{\timingcomment}
A comment is displayed by the command:
%
\begin{center}
|\timingsession[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{comment}|}|
\end{center}
%
As space in the margin is typically very limited,
it makes sense to be as concise as possible,
e.g.\ use just a single word or two.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Flags}
\label{sec:flagsref}

The optional argument \textit{cond} for most of the above commands
is a comma-separated list to specify the conditions
under which the command is to be processed:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |if=|\textit{flag} --
Process command only if \textit{flag} is among the currently declared flags.
\item |not=|\textit{flag} --
Process command unless \textit{flag} is among the currently declared flags.
\end{itemize}
%
Note that the conditionals are processed in the same order as specified.
After the first one is evaluated, all subsequent ones
change the status only if
\textit{flag} is among the currently declared flags.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\medskip
\noindent
\DescribeMacro{\timingif}
A command for optional processing is:
%
\begin{center}
|\timingif[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{code}|}|
\end{center}
%
The code \textit{code} is processed
only if the conditions \textit{cond} are met.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{Package Options}
\label{sec:packageoptions}

\DescribeMacro{\timingconfigure}
Options can be passed to the package by the commands:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{rl}
&|\usepackage[|\textit{opts}|]{sesstime}|
\\
or&|\PassOptionsToPackage{|\textit{opts}|}{sesstime}|
\\
or&|\timingconfigure[|\textit{cond}|]{|\textit{opts}|}|
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
%
|\PassOptionsToPackage| must be used before |\usepackage|;
|\timingconfigure| must be used afterwards (for selected options).
\textit{opts} is a comma-separated list of options.
Below we provide a complete list of available options:
%
\begin{itemize}
\item |print|[|=true|$\vert$|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |true|) --
Enable/disable printing all timing marks.

\item |block|[|=true|$\vert$|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |true|) --
Enable/disable printing block marks.

\item |chapter|[|=true|$\vert$|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |true|) --
Enable/disable printing chapter marks.

\item |session|[|=true|$\vert$|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |true|) --
Enable/disable printing session marks.

\item |comment|[|=true|$\vert$|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |true|) --
Enable/disable printing comments.

\item |warning|[|=true|$\vert$|false|]
(no value implies |true|, initially set to |true|) --
Enable/disable printing warnings.

\item |width=|\textit{dimen}
(initially set to |1cm|) --
Specify width of timing marks in both margins.

\item |widthl=|\textit{dimen}
(initially set to |1cm|) --
Specify width of timing marks in the left margin
which are typically related to blocks and chapters.

\item |widthr=|\textit{dimen}
(initially set to |1cm|) --
Specify width of timing marks in the right margin
which are typically related to sessions and comments.

\item |autosession=|\textit{duration}
(initially set to |0|) --
Set duration of automatically determined sessions;
|0| disables automatic determination.

\item |depthsec=|\textit{depth}
(initially set to |3|) --
Set maximum sectioning depth to be displayed
along with their number in the list of sessions;
deeper sections are considered as paragraphs
and are displayed differently.
Values |0| through |5| correspond to
|\chapter|, |\section|, |\subsection|,
|\subsubsection|, |\paragraph| and |\subparagraph|.

\item |depthpar=|\textit{depth}
(initially set to |5|) --
Set maximum sectioning depth to be displayed
in list of sessions
(similar to the standard \LaTeX{} counter |secnumdepth|).

\item |flags=|\textit{flags}
--
Specify a comma-separated list of flags.
Avoid spaces between flags.
\end{itemize}
%
Note that one can specify conditional evaluation for
the command |\timingconfigure| to, e.g.,
conditionally turn on automatic determination of sessions.

\item
This package uses the package \textsf{keyval}
from the \textsf{graphics} bundle
to process the options for the package, environments and macros.
Compatibility with the \textsf{keyval} package
has been tested with v1.15 (2014/10/28).

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Preamble.}
%
% Standard document class:

%    \end{macrocode}

% Use package \textsf{geometry} to adjust the page layout,
% adjust the paragraph shape:

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{layout=a4paper}
\geometry{paper=a4paper}
\geometry{margin=3cm}

%    \end{macrocode}

% Include the \textsf{sesstime} package:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{sesstime}

% Enable automatic assignment of sessions at 30 minutes each.
% Optionally turn off all timing marks:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\timingconfigure{autosession=30}
%%\timingconfigure{print=false}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Required Packages.}
%
% The package loads the package
% \textsf{keyval}
% if not yet present.
% \textsf{keyval} is used for extended options processing:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{keyval}
%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Flags.}
%
% The following code compares flags for a command
% against a global list of flags for optional processing of the command.
%
% \begin{macro}{\sti@processflags}
% \begin{macro}{\ifsti@flag}
% Declare variables for processing.
% |\sti@flags| stores the list of selected flags.
% |\ifsti@flag| is set by |\sti@processflags|.
% |\ifsti@flaginit| is used to detect the first specified key:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\def\sti@flags{}
\newif\ifsti@flag
\newif\ifsti@flaginit
%    \end{macrocode}
% Compare given flag to list of flags stored in |\sti@flags|;
% set |\ifsti@flag| accordingly.
% First key sets default to opposite of specified condition:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\define@key{sti@flag}{if}{%
  \ifsti@flaginit\else\sti@flagfalse\fi\sti@flaginittrue%

%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Internal Definitions.}
%
% The following definitions store package options.
% The conditional |\ifsti@print|[|...|]
% indicates whether timing marks (of particular kind) should be printed.
% The dimensions |\sti@widthl| and |\sti@widthr| store
% the width of timing marks on the left and right, respectively.
% |sti@autosession| stores the duration of automatically generated sessions.
% |\sti@depthsec| and |\sti@depthpar| store the depth of sections
% to be included in the list of sessions:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newif\ifsti@print\sti@printtrue
\newif\ifsti@printblock\sti@printblocktrue
\newif\ifsti@printsession\sti@printsessiontrue

%    \end{macrocode}

% %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% \paragraph{Internal Variables.}
%
% Declare internal variables and counters.
% As they describe the status which may change
% in include files, they are declared as counters
% which are automatically stored in |.aux| files.
% Status variables for sessions (counter, within session, time elapsed):
%    \begin{macrocode}
\newcounter{sti@session}
