% \author{Markus Kohm}
% \maketitle
% \begin{abstract}
%   Packages \texttt{color} and \texttt{xcolor} provide excellent features for
%   managing and using colours. There is only one little feature sometimes
%   missing: Setting up the default colour of \cs{normalcolor}. The only
%   purpose of \texttt{normalcolor} is to extend both packages by exactly this
%   single feature.
% \end{abstract}
% \tableofcontents
%
% \section{Loading \texttt{normalcolor}}
%
% You can load package \texttt{normalcolor} as you load all other packages,
% too:
% \begin{verbatim}
% \usepackage{normalcolor}
% \end{verbatim}
% \vskip-\baselineskip
% Note: It does not matter whether you load
% \texttt{color}\footnote{\url{http://ctan.org/pkg/color}} or
% \texttt{xcolor}\footnote{\url{http://ctan.org/pkg/xcolor}} before or after
% \texttt{normalcolor}.  Even using neither \texttt{color} nor \texttt{xcolor}
% would not blame \texttt{normalcolor}, but then it would be completely
% useless.
%
% \section{Setting up the Normal Colour}
%
% \DescribeMacro{\setnormalcolor} This command has the same arguments like
% \cs{color}. See the documentation of either package
% \texttt{color}\footnotemark[1] or package \texttt{xcolor}\footnotemark[2]
% (depending on the one you are using) for the syntax. But in opposite to
% \cs{color} it does not change the current colour but the colour of all
% implicit or explicit usages of \cs{normalcolor}.
%
% If you use the command before |\begin{document}| it will also change the
% initial colour of the document.
%
% \DescribeMacro{\resetnormalcolor}
% This command, which has no argument, changes the colour of \cs{normalcolor}
% into the current colour. If you use it before |\begin{document}| it will be
% delayed until |\begin{document}| and therefore also changes the current
% colour at the start of the document. But after |\begin{document}| it will
% only change \cs{normalcolor} without changing the current colour.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHORT DESCRIPTION

The package simple provides a command `\setnormalcolor` with the same
syntax as command `\color' either of package `color' or package `xcolor'.
But `\setnormalcolor' will not change the current colour but the normal
colour.  So using `\normalcolor' (implicit or explicit) afterwards will
change the current colour to the colour given by the previous 
`\setnormalcolor'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE GENERATION

Simple way:

To use the simple way you need the original `makefile' from the source
distribution of `normalcolor' and `GNU make'.  Then you can use:

    make all

to generate all files of `normalcolor'.

Manual way:

If you cannot use make you can extract all the files using:

    tex normalcolor.dtx

Note that you have to use `tex' not any LaTeX format!

This will generate files `normalcolor.sty' and `README.txt'. Rename the
generated `README.txt' to `README'.

To make the documentation use:

    pdflatex normalcolor.dtx
    pdflatex normalcolor.dtx
    mkindex normalcolor
    pdflatex normalcolor.dtx
    pdflatex normalcolor.dtx

This will result in the manual file `normalcolor.pdf'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION

Simple way:

To use the simple way you need the original `makefile' from the source
distribution of `normalcolor' and `GNU make' and a TeX-Live-compatible 
`kpsewhich'.  Then you can use:

    make install

to install normalcolor into your personal TEXMF tree.  If you want to use
the local TEXMF tree instead of the personal one, you may use:

    make INSTALLLOCAL=true install

If you want to use another TEXMF tree, you may use

    make INSTALLROOT=<path to the TEXMF tree> install

Manual way:

Copy `normalcolor.sty' to `tex/latex/normalcolor/' inside the TDS tree you
want to install `normalcolor'.

Copy `normalcolor.pdf' and `README.txt' as `README' to 
`doc/latex/normalcolor/' inside the TDS tree you want to install
`normalcolor'.

Maybe you have to call `texhash' for the TDS tree you have installed
`normalcolor'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
USAGE

See `normalcolor.pdf'.

% \begin{macro}{\resetnormalcolor}
%   This is the very simple first version of the command. Before
%   |\begin{documet}| it simply delays itself until |\begin{document}|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand*{\resetnormalcolor}{\AtBeginDocument{\resetnormalcolor}}
%    \end{macrocode}
%   To make this work, we need to redefine it at |\begin{document}|:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\AtBeginDocument{%
  \let\resetnormalcolor\relax
  \DeclareRobustCommand*{\resetnormalcolor}{%
    \ifdefined\default@color
      \ifdefined\current@color
        \let\default@color\current@color
      \fi
    \fi
  }%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\setnormalcolor}
% \begin{macro}{\@setnormalcolor}
% \begin{macro}{\@@setnormalcolor}
%   Note, that changing the default colour before loading either
%   \texttt{color} or \texttt{xcolor} does not work, because these packages
%   set |\default@color| themselves at |\begin{document}|. But indeed in this
%   case it is much more simple, because we just have to set up the wanted
%   colour.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\DeclareRobustCommand*{\setnormalcolor}{%
  \@ifnextchar [%]
    \@@setnormalcolor\@setnormalcolor
}
\newcommand*{\@@setnormalcolor}[2][]{%
  \AtBeginDocument{%
    \begingroup\expandafter\expandafter\expandafter\endgroup

  \AtBeginDocument{%

    \expandafter\ifx\csname color\endcsname\relax\else
      \color{#1}\let\default@color\current@color
    \fi
  }%
}
%    \end{macrocode}
%  After |\begin{document}| we need another definition of |\@@setnormalcolor|
%  and |\@setnormalcolor|. In this case we need to change |\default@color|
%  without changing |\current@color|. This may be done using a trick.
