# plautopatch

Japanese pLaTeX/upLaTeX formats and packages often conflict
with other LaTeX packages which are unaware of pLaTeX/upLaTeX.
In the worst case, such packages throw a fatal error or
end up with a wrong output.

The goal of this package "plautopatch" is that
there should be no need to worry about such incompatibilities,
because specific patches are loaded automatically
whenever necessary.
This helps not only to simplify source files, but also
to make the appearance of working pLaTeX/upLaTeX sources
similar to those of ordinary LaTeX ones.

The following patches are currently registered:

- doc (latex) -> pldocverb (platex-tools)
- tracefnt (latex) -> ptrace/uptrace (platex/uplatex)
- fltrace (latex) -> pfltrace (platex)
- array (latex-tools) -> plarray (platex-tools)
- array (latex-tools) + plext (platex) -> plextarray (platex-tools)
- delarray (latex-tools) + plext (platex) -> plextdelarray (platex-tools)
- colortbl + plext (platex) -> plextcolortbl (platex-tools)
- arydshln -> plarydshln (maintained here!)
- arydshln + plext (platex) -> plextarydshln (maintained here!)
- siunitx -> plsiunitx (maintained here!)
- collcell -> plcollcell (maintained here!)
- everysel (ms) -> pxeverysel (platex-tools)
- everyshi (ms) -> pxeveryshi (platex-tools)
- atbegshi (oberdiek) -> pxatbegshi (platex-tools)
- ftnright (latex-tools) -> pxftnright (platex-tools)
- multicol (latex-tools) -> pxmulticol (platex-tools)
- xspace (latex-tools) -> pxxspace (platex-tools)

- eso-pic -> pxesopic (gentombow)
- pdfpages -> pxpdfpages (gentombow)
- stfloats (sttools) -> pxstfloats (pxsttools)
- hyperref -> pxjahyper (by Takayuki YATO)
- pgfrcs (pgf) -> pxpgfrcs (maintained here!)
- pgfcore (pgf) -> pxpgfmark (by Takayuki YATO)

## Requirements

If LaTeX2e 2020-10-01 or newer is running,
this package uses the new hook system such as
`\AddToHook{package/before/...}` and
`\AddToHook{package/after/...}`.
If LaTeX2e is older than that, this package depends on
`filehook` package (written by Martin Scharrer).

## Miscellaneous

This bundle may distribute some tiny patches
together with the main package.
All packages are meant for use with pLaTeX/upLaTeX.
Short information:

- plarydshln.sty:
    Patch for arydshln.sty (by Hiroshi Nakashima) to improve
    compatibility with pLaTeX kernel.
- plextarydshln.sty:
    Patch for arydshln.sty (by Hiroshi Nakashima) to improve
    compatibility with plext.sty in pLaTeX.
- plsiunitx.sty:
    Patch for siunitx.sty (by Joseph Wright) to fix
    conflict with plarray.sty (platex-tools).
- plcollcell.sty:
    Patch for collcell.sty (by Martin Scharrer) to fix
    conflict with plarray.sty (platex-tools).
- pxpgfrcs.sty:
    Patch for pgfrcs.sty (part of PGF) to support
    Japanese classes for vertical writing.
- pxstfloats.sty:
    Patch for stfloats.sty (sttools) to improve
    compatibility with pLaTeX kernel.
    Actually part of pxsttols (https://github.com/aminophen/pxsttools)
