1 Introduction
First I want to recommend the very good review article “A guide to key-value methods” by Joseph Wright [1]. It introduces the different key-value packages and compares them.
1.1 The beginning
This packagekvoptionsaddresses class or package writers that want to allow their users to specify options as key value pairs, e.g.:
\documentclass[verbose=false,name=me]{myclass}
\usepackage[format=print]{mylayout}
Prominent example is packagehyperref, probably the first package that offers this service. It’s\ProcessOptionsWithKVis often copied und used in other packages, e.g. packagehelvetthat uses this interface for its optionscaled.
However copying code is not the most modern software development technique.
And hyperref’s code for \ProcessOptionsWithKV was changed to fix bugs. The version used in other packages depends on the time of copying and the awareness of hyperref’s changes. Now the code is sourced out into this package and available for other package or class writers.
1.2 Overview
Packagekvoptionsconnects packagekeyvalwith LATEX’s package and classoptions:
Packagekeyval Package kvoptions LATEX kernel
\define@key \DeclareVoidOption
\DeclareStringOption
\DeclareBoolOption
\DeclareComplementaryOption
\DisableKeyvalOption
\DeclareOption
\DeclareDefaultOption \DeclareOption*
\ProcessKeyvalOptions \ProcessOptions*
Optionpatch Class/package
option system
\SetupKeyvalOptions
2 Usage
2.1 Process options
2.1.1 \ProcessKeyvalOptions
\ProcessKeyvalOptions{⟨family⟩}
\ProcessKeyvalOptions *
This command evaluates the global or local options of the package that are defined withkeyval’s interface within the family⟨family⟩. It acts the same way as LATEX’s
\ProcessOptions*. In a package unknown global options are ignored, in a class
they are added to the unknown option list. The known global options and all local options are passed tokeyval’s\setkeyscommand for executing the options.
Unknown options are reported to the user by an error.
If the family name happens to be the same as the name of the package or class where \ProcessKeyvalOptions is used or the family name has previously been setup by\SetupKeyvalOptions, then\ProcessKeyvalOptionsknows the family name already and you can use the star form without mandatory argument.
2.1.2 \ProcessLocalKeyvalOptions
\ProcessLocalKeyvalOptions{⟨family⟩}
\ProcessLocalKeyvalOptions *
This macro has the same syntax and works similar as \ProcessKeyvalOptions.
However it ignores global options and only processes the local package options.
Therefore it only can be used inside a package. An error is thrown, if it is used inside a class.
Neither of the following macros are necessary for\ProcessKeyvalOptions{}.
They just help the package/class author in common tasks.
2.1.3 \SetupKeyvalOptions
\SetupKeyvalOptions{ family =⟨family⟩, prefix =⟨prefix⟩
setkeys =⟨setkeys command⟩ }
This command allows to configure the default assumptions that are based on the current package or class name. LATEX remembers this name in\@currname. The syntax description of the default looks a little weird, therefor an example is given for a package or class named foobar.
Key Default (example) Used by
family ⟨\@currname⟩ (foobar) \ProcessKeyvalOptions*
\DeclareBoolOption
\DeclareStringOption prefix ⟨\@currname⟩@ (foobar@) \DeclareBoolOption
\DeclareStringOption
\DeclareVoidOption setkeys \setkeys (\kvsetkeys) \ProcessKeyvalOptions
\ProcessLocalKeyvalOptions Keysetkeyswas added in version 3.9. The original\setkeysof packagekeyvalis not reentrant. If an option is processed by this\setkeys, then the option should not call \setkeys again with a different family. Otherwise the next options of the first \setkeys call are processed with the wrong family. With key setkeys the macro\kvsetkeys can be set that does not have the problem of the original
\setkeysof package keyval.
Probably \setkeysof package xkeyval is safe in this respect. But I haven’t made a full analysis. At least it does not have the problem of the original\setkeys.
2.2 Option declarations
The options for \ProcessKeyvalOptions are defined by keyval’s \define@key.
Common purposes of such keys are boolean switches, they enable or disable some- thing. Or they store a name or some kind of string in a macro. The following
commands help the user. He declares what he wants and kvoptions take care of the key definition, resource allocation and initialization.
In order to avoid name clashes of macro names, internal commands are prefixed.
Both the prefix and the family name for the defined keys can be configured by
\SetupKeyvalOptions.
2.2.1 \DeclareStringOption
\DeclareStringOption [⟨init⟩]{⟨key⟩}[⟨default⟩]
A macro is created that remembers the value of the key⟨key⟩. The name of the macro consists of the option name⟨key⟩that is prefixed by the prefix (see2.1.3).
The initial contents of the macro can be given by the first optional argument
⟨init⟩. The default is empty.
The the option⟨key⟩ is defined. The option code just stores its value in the macro. If the optional argument at the end of \DeclareStringOption is given, then option⟨key⟩is defined with the default⟨default⟩.
Example for a package with the following two lines:
\ProvidesPackage{foobar}
\DeclareStringOption[me]{name}
Then\DeclareStringOptiondefines the macro with contentme, note LATEX com- plains if the name of the macro already exists:
\newcommand*{\foobar@name}{me}
The option definition is similar to:
\define@key{foobar}{name}{%
\renewcommand*{\foobar@name}{#1}%
}
2.2.2 \DeclareBoolOption
\DeclareBoolOption [⟨init⟩]{⟨key⟩}
A boolean switch is generated, initialized by value⟨init⟩and the corresponding key
⟨key⟩is defined. If the initialization value is not given,falseis used as default.
The internal actions of \DeclareBoolOption are shown below. The example is given for a package author who has the following two lines in his package/class:
\ProvidesPackage{foobar}
\DeclareBoolOption{verbose}
First a new switch is created:
\newif\iffoobar@verbose and initialized:
\foobar@verbosefalse Finally the key is defined:
\define@key{foobar}{verbose}[true]{. . .}
The option code configures the boolean option in the following way: If the author specifies true or falsethen the switch is turned on or off respectivly. Also the option can be given without explicit value. Then the switch is enabled. Other values are reported as errors.
Now the switch is ready to use in the package/class, e.g.:
\iffoobar@verbose
% print verbose message
\else
% be quiet
\fi
Users of package\ifthencan use the switch as boolean:
\boolean{foobar@verbose}
2.2.3 \DeclareComplementaryOption
\DeclareComplementaryOption{⟨key⟩} {⟨parent⟩}
Sometimes contrasting names are used to characterize the two states of a boolean switch, for example draft vs. final. Both options behave like boolean options but they do not need two different switches, they should share one.
\DeclareComplementaryOption allows this. The option⟨key⟩shares the switch of option⟨parent⟩. Example:
\DeclareBoolOption{draft}
\DeclareComplementaryOption{final}{draft}
Thenfinalsets the switch of draftto false, andfinal=falseenables thedraft switch.
2.2.4 \DeclareVoidOption
\DeclareVoidOption{⟨key⟩} {⟨code⟩}
\ProcessKeyvalOptionscan be extended to recognize options that are declared in traditional way by \DeclareOption. But in case of the error that the user specifies a value, then this option would not recognized as key value option because of \DeclareOption and not detected as traditional option because of the value part. The user would get an unknown option error, difficult to understand.
\DeclareVoidOption solves this problem. It defines the option ⟨key⟩as key value option. If the user specifies a value, a warning is given and the value is ignored.
The code part⟨code⟩is stored in a macro. The name of the macro consists of the option name⟨key⟩that is prefixed by the prefix (see2.1.3). If the option is set, the macro will be executed. During the execution \CurrentOption is available with the current key name.
2.2.5 \DeclareDefaultOption
\DeclareDefaultOption{⟨code⟩}
This command does not define a specific key, it is the equivalent to LATEX’s \DeclareOption*. It allows the specification of a default action
⟨code⟩ that is invoked if an unknown option is found. While ⟨code⟩ is called, macro \CurrentOption contains the current option string. In addition
\CurrentOptionValue contains the value part if the option string is parsable as key value pair, otherwise it is \relax. \CurrentOptionKey contains the key of the key value pair, or the whole option string, if it misses the equal sign.
Inside packages typical default actions are to pass unknown options to another package. Or an error message can be thrown by \@unknownoptionerror. This is the original error message that LATEX gives for unkown package options. This error
message is easier to understand for the user as the error message from package keyvalthat is given otherwise.
A Class ignores unknown options and puts them on the unused option list. Let LATEX do the job and just call\OptionNotUsed. Or the options can be passed to another class that is later loaded.
2.2.6 Local options
\DeclareLocalOption{⟨option⟩}
\DeclareLocalOptions{⟨option list⟩}
Both macros mark package options as local options. That means that they are ignored by \ProcessKeyvalOptions if they are given as global options.
\DeclareLocalOptions takes one option, \DeclareLocalOptions expects a comma separated list of options.
2.2.7 Dynamic options
Options of LATEX’s package/class system are cleared in \ProcessOptions. They modify the static model of a package. For example, depending on optionbookmarks packagehyperref loads differently.
Options, however, defined bykeyval’s\define@key remain defined, if the op- tions are processed by \setkeys. Therefore these options can also be used to model the dynamic behaviour of a package. For example, in hyperref the link colors can be changed everywhere until the end in\end{document}.
However packagecolorthat adds color support is necessary and it cannot be loaded after\begin{document}. Optioncolorlinksthat loadscolorshould be active until\begin{document}and die in some way if it is too late for loading packages.
With\DisableKeyvalOptionthe package/class author can specify and configure the death of an option and controls the life period of the option.
2.2.8 \DisableKeyvalOption
\DisableKeyvalOption [⟨options⟩]{⟨family⟩} {⟨key⟩}
⟨options⟩:
action = undef,warning,error, orignore default: undef
globalorlocal default: global
packageorclass =⟨name⟩
\DisableKeyvalOption can be called to mark the end when the option⟨key⟩ is no longer useful. The behaviour of an option after its death can be configured by action:
undef: The option will be undefined, If it is called, \setkeys reports an error because of unknown key.
error orwarning: Use of the option will cause an error or warning message. Also these actions require that exclusivly either the package or class name is given in optionspackageorclass.
ignore: The use of the option will silently be ignored.
The option’s death can be limited to the end of the current group, if optionlocal is given. Default isglobal.
The package/class author can wish the end of the option already during the package loading, then he will have static behaviour. In case of dynamic options
\DisableKeyvalOption can be executed everywhere, also outside the package.
Therefore the family name and the package/class name is usually unknown for
\DisableKeyvalOption. Therefore the argument for the family name is manda- tory and for some actions the package/class name must be provided.
Usually a macro would configure the option death, Example:
\ProvidesPackage{foobar}
\DeclareBoolOption{color}
\DeclareStringOption[red]{emphcolor}
\ProcessKeyvalOptions*
\newcommand*{\foobar@DisableOption}[2]{%
\DisableKeyvalueOption[
action={#1}, package=foobar ]{foobar}{#2}%
}
\iffoobar@color
\RequirePackage{color}
\renewcommand*{\emph}[1]{\textcolor{\foobar@emphcolor}{#1}}
\else
% Option emphcolor is not wrong, if we have color support.
% otherwise the option has no effect, but we don’t want to
% remove it. Therefore action ’ignore’ is the best choice:
\foobar@DisableOption{ignore}{emphcolor}
\fi
% No we don’t need the option ’color’.
\foobar@DisableOption{warning}{color}
% With color support option ’emphcolor’ will dynamically
% change the color of \emph statements.
2.2.9 \AddToKeyvalOption
\AddToKeyvalOption{⟨family⟩} {⟨key⟩} {⟨code⟩}
\AddToKeyvalOption *{⟨key⟩} {⟨code⟩}
The code for an existing key⟨key⟩of family⟨family⟩is extended by code⟨code⟩. In the starred form the current family setting is used, see\ProcessKeyvalOptions*.
2.3 Global vs. local options
Options that are given for \documentclass are called global options. They are known to the class and all packages. A package may make use of a global option and marks it as used. The advantage for the user is the freedom to specify options both in the \documentclassor \usepackagecommands.
However global options are shared with the class options and options of all other packages. Thus there can be the same option with different semantics for different packages and classes. As example, packagebookmarkknows option open that specifies whether the bookmarks are opened or closed initially. It’s values are trueorfalse. Since KOMA-Script version 3.00 the KOMA classes also introduces optionopenwith valuesrightandanyand a complete different meaning.
Such conflicts can be resolved by marking all or part of options as local by
\DeclareLocalOption or \DeclareLocalOptions. Then the packages ignores global occurences of these options. Packagekvoptionsprovides two methods:
• \ProcessLocalKeyvalOptions automatically uses all options as local op- tions. It ignores all global options.
• \DeclareLocalOption or \DeclareLocalOptions marks options as local options. \ProcessKeyvalOptions will then ignore global occurences for these local options.
Since version 1.5 packagebookmarkuses the latter method. It checks global and local option places for driver options and limits all other options as local options.
Thus the class option openof KOMA-Script is not misread as option for package bookmark.
2.4 Summary of internal macros
The \Declare...Option commands define macros, additionally to the macros generated by the key definition. These macros can be used by the package/class author. The name of the macros starts with the prefix⟨prefix⟩ that can be con- figured by\SetupKeyvalOptions.
Declare⟨key⟩ Defined macro Description
\DeclareStringOption \⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩ holds the string
\DeclareBoolOption \if⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩ boolean switch
\⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩false disable switch
\⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩true enable switch
\DeclareComplementaryOption \⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩false enable parent switch
\⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩true disable parent switch
\DeclareVoidOption \⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩ holds the action
2.5 plain TEX
Packagekeyvalis also usable in plain TEX with the help of fileminiltx.tex. Some features of this packagekvoptionsmight also be useful for plain TEX. If LATEX is not found, \ProcessKeyvalOptionsand optionpatchare disabled. Before using the option declaration commands \Declare...Option, \SetupKeyvalOptions must be used.
3 Example
The following example defined a package that serves some private color manage- ment. A boolean optionprintenables print mode without colors. An optionemph redefines \emph to print in the given color. And the driver can be specified by optiondriver.

4 Package options
The packagekvoptions knows two package optionspatchanddebugshow. The op- tions of packagekvoptionsare intended for authors, not for package/class writers.
Inside a package it is too late for optionpatchanddebugshowenables some mes- sages that are perhaps useful for the debugging phase. Also LATEX is unhappy if a package is loaded later again with options that are previously not given. Thus package and class authors, stay with\RequirePackage{kvoptions}without op- tions.
Optionpatchloads packagekvoptions-patch.
4.1 Package kvoptions-patch
Change in version v3.14: kvoptions-patchis not compatible with a LATEX 2020- 10-01 or newer and will abort loading if it detects it!
LATEX’s system of package/class options has some severe limitations that espe- cially affects the value part if options are used as pair of key and value.
• Spaces are removed, regardless where:
\documentclass[box=0 0 400 600]{article}
Now each package will seebox=00400600as global option.
• In the previous case also braces would not help:
\documentclass[box={0 0 400 600}]{article}
The result is an error message:
! LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}.
As local option, however, it works if the package knows about key value options (By using this package, for example).
• The requirements on robustness are extremly high. LATEX expands the op- tion. All that will not work as environment name will break also as option.
Even a\relax will generate an error message:
! Missing \endcsname inserted.
Of course, LATEX does not use its protecting mechanisms. On contrary
\protectitself will cause errors.
• The options are expanded. But perhaps the package will do that, because it has to setup some things before? Examplehyperref:
\usepackage[pdfauthor=M\"uller]{hyperref}
Package hyperref does not see M\"uller but its expansion and it does not like it, you get many warnings
Token not allowed in a PDFDocEncoded string
And the title becomes: Mu127uller. Therefore such options must usually be given after package hyperref is loaded:
\usepackage{hyperref}
\hypersetup{pdfauthor=Fran\c coise M\"uller}
As package option it will even break with Fran\c coise because of the cedilla\c c, it is not robust enough.
For users that do not want with this limitations the package offers package kvoptions-patch. It patches LATEX’s option system and tries to teach it also to handle options that are given as pairs of key and value and to prevent expansion.
It can already be used at the very beginning, before\documentclass:
\RequirePackage{kvoptions-patch}
\documentclass[pdfauthor=Fran\c coise M\"uller]{article}
\usepackage{hyperref}
The latest time is before the package where you want to use problematic values:
\usepackage{kvoptions-patch}
\usepackage[Fran\c coise M\"uller]{hyperref}
Some remarks:
• The patch requires ε-TEX, its\unexpanded feature is much too nice. It is possible to work around using token registers. But the code becomes longer, slower, more difficult to read and maintain. The package without option patchworks and will work withoutε-TEX.
• The code for the patch is quite long, there are many test cases. Thus the probability for bugs is probably not too small.
• Since 2008/10/18 v3.0 package kvoptions-patch is available. Before option patch of package kvoptions must be used instead. I think, the solution as standalone package kvoptions-patchis cleaner and avoids option clashes.
4.2 Option debugshow
The name of this option follows the convention of packages multicol, tabularx, and tracefnt. Currently it prints the setting of boolean options, declared by
\DeclareBoolOption in the .log file, if that boolean option is used. You can activate the option by
• \PassOptionsToPackage{debugshow}{kvoptions}
Put this somewhere before package kvoptions is loaded first, e.g. before
\documentclass.
• \RequirePackage[debugshow]{kvoptions}
Before \documentclass even an author has to use \RequirePackage.
\usepackage only works after\documentclass.
The preferred method is \PassOptionsToPackage, because it does not force the package loading and does not disturb, if the package is not loaded later at all.
5 Limitations
5.1 Compatibility
5.1.1 Packagekvoptions-patch vs. package xkvltxp
Packagexkvltxpfrom the xkeyvalproject has the same goal as packagekvoptions- patch and to patch LATEX’s kernel commands in order to get better support for key value options. Of course they cannot be used both. The user must decide, which method he prefers. Packagekvoptions-patchaborts itself, if it detects that xkvltxpis already loaded.
However packagexkvltxpandkvoptionscan be used together, example:
\usepackage{xkvltxp}
\usepackage[...]{foobar} % foobar using kvoptions The other way should work, too.
Packagekvoptions-patchtries to catch more situations and to be more robust.
For example, during the comparison of options it normalizes them by removing spaces around=and the value. Thus the following is not reported as option clash:
\RequirePackage{kvoptions-patch}
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[scaled=0.7]{helvet}
\usepackage[scaled = 0.7]{helvet}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
5.2 Limitations
5.2.1 Option comparisons
In some situations LATEX compares option lists, e.g. option clash check,
\@ifpackagewith, or \@ifclasswith. Apart from catcode and sanitizing prob- lems of option patch, there is another problem. LATEX does not know about the type and default values of options in key value style. Thus an option clash is reported, even if the key value has the same meaning:
\usepackage[scaled]{helvet} %default is .95
\usepackage[.95]{helvet}
\usepackage[0.95]{helvet}
5.2.2 Option list parsing with packagekvoptions-patch
With package kvoptions-patch the range of possible values in key value specifi- cations is much large, for example the comma can be used, if enclosed in curly braces.
Other packages, especially the packages that uses their own process option code can be surprised to find tokens inside options that they do not expect and errors would be the consequence. To avoid errors the options, especially the unused option list is sanitized. That means the list will only contain tokens with catcode 12 (other) and perhaps spaces (catcode 10). This allows a safe parsing for other packages. But a comma in the value part is no longer protected by curly braces because they have lost their special meaning. This is the price for compatibility.
Example:
\RequirePackage{kvoptions-patch}
\documentclass[a={a,b,c},b]{article}
\begin{document}
\end{document}
Result:
LaTeX Warning: Unused global option(s):
[a={a,c},b].

6.3 Option declaration macros
6.3.1 \SetupKeyvalOptions
The family for the key value pairs can be setup once and is remembered later.
The package name seems a reasonable default for the family key, if it is not set by the package author.
\KVO@family We cannot store the family setting in one macro, because the package should be usable for many other packages, too. Thus we remember the family setting in a macro, whose name contains the package name with extension, a key in LATEX’s class/package system.
247\define@key{KVO}{family}{%
248 \expandafter\edef\csname KVO@family@%
249 \@currname.\@currext\endcsname{#1}%

253 \@currname
254 }{%
255 \csname KVO@family@\@currname.\@currext\endcsname
256 }%
257}
\KVO@prefix The value settings of options that are declared by \DeclareBoolOption and
\DeclareStringOption need to be saved in macros. in the first case this is a switch\if⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩, in the latter case a macro\⟨prefix⟩⟨key⟩. The prefix can be configured, by prefix that is declared here. The default is the package name with@appended.
258\define@key{KVO}{prefix}{%
259 \expandafter\edef\csname KVO@prefix@%
260 \@currname.\@currext\endcsname{#1}%

\SetupKeyvalOptions The argument of \SetupKeyvalOptionsexpects a key value list, known keys are familyandprefix.

6.3.2 \DeclareBoolOption
\DeclareBoolOption Usually options of boolean type can be given by the user without value and this means a setting totrue. We follow this convention here. Also it simplifies the user interface.
The switch is created and initialized withfalse. The default setting can be overwritten by the optional argument.
LATEX’s \newif does not check for already defined macros, therefore we add this check here to prevent the user from accidently redefining of TEX’s primitives and other macros.

\DeclareComplementaryOption The first argument is the key name, the second the key that must be a boolean option with the same current family and prefix. A new switch is not created for the new key, we have already a switch. Instead we define switch setting commands to work on the parent switch.

6.6 Process options
6.6.1 Get global options
Package xkeyval removes options with equal signs from the global options (\@classoptionslist). The effect is that other packages and classes will not see these global options anymore. A bug-report was answered that this behaviour is “by design”. Thus I call it a design bug. Now getting the global options require an algorithm instead of a simple macro call.
