% \maketitle
%
% \begin{abstract}
% \pdfTeX\ and lua\TeX{} supports several color stacks. This
% package shows, how a separate color stack can be used for transparency,
% a property besides color, that also works across page break.
% \end{abstract}
%
% \tableofcontents
%
% \section{User interface}
%
% The package \xpackage{transparent} defines \cs{transparent} and
% \cs{texttransparent}. They are used like \cs{color} and \cs{textcolor}.
% The first argument is the transparency value between 0 and 1 where 0
% is fully transparent and 1 is opaque.
% 
% \section{Engine support}
% If the PDF management is loaded (e.g. by using \verb+\DocumentMetadata{}+ at the beginning
% of the document) the package makes use of \texttt{l3opacity} and
% can be used with all engines supported by \texttt{l3backend}.
% But only with \pdfTeX\ and lua\TeX{} the transparency will also work across page break.
% 
% 
% Without the PDF management, the package works only with \pdfTeX\ and lua\TeX{}.
% It then uses the original code by Heiko Oberdiek. It then uses the
% primitive \cs{pdfpageresources} and can clash with other packages that also use
% \cs{pdfpageresources}.
% 
%

% \subsection{Transparency}
%
%    The setting for the different transparency values must
%    be added to the page resources. In the first run the values
%    are recorded in the \xfile{.aux} file. In the second run
%    the values are set and transparency is available.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\RequirePackage{auxhook}
\AddLineBeginAux{%
  \string\providecommand{\string\transparent@use}[1]{}%
}

  }%
}
\AtBeginDocument{%
  \TRP@addresource
  \let\transparent@use\@gobble
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Unhappily the interface setting page resources is very
%    poor, only a token register \cs{pdfpageresources}.
%    Thus this package tries to be cooperative in the way that
%    it embeds the previous contents of \cs{pdfpageresources}.
%    However it does not solve the problem, if several packages
%    want to set |/ExtGState|.

% \subsection{Download}
%
% \paragraph{Package.} This package is available on

% \subsection{Package installation}
%
% \paragraph{Unpacking.} The \xfile{.dtx} file is a self-extracting

%
% \paragraph{TDS.} Now the different files must be moved into

% If you have a \xfile{docstrip.cfg} that configures and enables \docstrip's
% TDS installing feature, then some files can already be in the right
% place, see the documentation of \docstrip.
%
% \subsection{Refresh file name databases}
%
% If your \TeX~distribution
% (\TeX\,Live, \mikTeX, \dots) relies on file name databases, you must refresh
% these. For example, \TeX\,Live\ users run \verb|texhash| or
% \verb|mktexlsr|.
%
% \subsection{Some details for the interested}
%
% \paragraph{Unpacking with \LaTeX.}
% The \xfile{.dtx} chooses its action depending on the format:
% \begin{description}
% \item[\plainTeX:] Run \docstrip\ and extract the files.
% \item[\LaTeX:] Generate the documentation.
% \end{description}
% If you insist on using \LaTeX\ for \docstrip\ (really,
% \docstrip\ does not need \LaTeX), then inform the autodetect routine
% about your intention:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|latex \let\install=y\input{transparent.dtx}|
% \end{quote}
% Do not forget to quote the argument according to the demands
% of your shell.
%
% \paragraph{Generating the documentation.}
% You can use both the \xfile{.dtx} or the \xfile{.drv} to generate
% the documentation. The process can be configured by the
% configuration file \xfile{ltxdoc.cfg}. For instance, put this
% line into this file, if you want to have A4 as paper format:
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb|\PassOptionsToClass{a4paper}{article}|
% \end{quote}
% An example follows how to generate the
% documentation with pdf\LaTeX:
% \begin{quote}
%\begin{verbatim}
%pdflatex transparent.dtx
%makeindex -s gind.ist transparent.idx
%pdflatex transparent.dtx
%makeindex -s gind.ist transparent.idx
%pdflatex transparent.dtx
%\end{verbatim}
% \end{quote}
