%  \DescribeMacro\SuspendTagging
%  \DescribeMacro\ResumeTagging
%  
%  The are places in code where it is import top stop any tagging
%  activities, e.g., when we are doing trial typesetting that it is
%  done several times. In such a case one must tag only the final
%  version that is actually used, otherwise tagging structures are
%  allowed which then do not end up in the PDF and confuse the
%  mechanism. For this we have two commands that can be used in
%  packages: \cs{SuspendTagging} and \cs{ResumeTagging}. They are
%  available as part of the \LaTeX{} kernel, so that they can be
%  safely used in packages whether or not tagging is requested .They
%  both take string argument that is used for debugging to easily
%  identify why tagging was suspended or restarted, for example, in
%  \pkg{tabularx} you find \verb=\SuspendTagging{tabularx}=. By default
%  they two commands do nothing.
%
%  TODO: the corresponding L3 layer commands should also have a dummy
%  definition in the kernel!
%
% \DescribeMacro\UseTaggingSocket
% \DescribeMacro\tag_socket_use:n
% \DescribeMacro\tag_socket_use:nn
%  To support tagging in packages we use sockets with names starting
%  with \texttt{tagsupport/}. Usually, these sockets have exactly two
%  plugs defined:
%  \plug{noop} (when no tagging is requested or tagging is not wanted
%  for some reason) and a second plug that enables the tagging. There
%  may be more, e.g., tagging with special debugging, etc., but right
%  now it is usually just on or off.
%
%  Given that we sometimes have to suspend tagging, it would be fairly
%  inefficient to put different plugs into these sockets whenever that
%  happens. We therefore offer \cs{UseTaggingSocket} which is like
%  \cs{UseSocket} except that the socket name is specified without
%  \texttt{tagsupport/}, i.e.,
% \begin{quote}
%   \verb=\UseTaggingSocket{foo}=      $\to$
%   \verb=\UseSocket{tagsupport/foo}=
% \end{quote}
%  Beside being slightly shorter, the big advantage is that this way
%  we can change \cs{UseTaggingSocket} to do nothing when tagging is
%  suspended with \cs{SuspendTagging} instead of changing the plugs of
%  the tagging support sockets back and forth.
%
%  It is possible to use the tagging support sockets with
%  \cs{UseSocket} directly, but in this case the socket remains active
%  if \cs{SuspendTagging} is in force. There my be reasons for doing
%  that but in general we expect to always use \cs{UseTaggingSocket}.
%
%  The L3 programming layer versions \cs{tag_socket_use:n} and
%  \cs{tag_socket_use:nn} are slightly more efficient than
%  \cs{UseTaggingSocket} because they do not have to determine how
%  many arguments the socket takes when disabling it, so in code that
%  is using the L3 programming layer we recommend to use them instead
%  of the CamelCase command.
%                
%
%
%  \begin{macro}{\SuspendTagging,\ResumeTagging}
%    
%    In the kernel, these two commands get dummy definitions so that
%    they can be used without harm in packages. The real definition is
%    used when tagging gets enabled.
%    \begin{macrocode}

\cs_new_eq:NN \ResumeTagging  \use_none:n

% \subsection{Tagging support for table/tabular packages}
%
% The code uses a number of sockets to inject the tagging
% commands. These can be easily set to a noop-plug in case the
% automated tagging is not wanted. 
%
% \begin{socketdecl}{tagsupport/tbl/cell/begin,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/cell/end,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/pcell/end,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/pcell/end,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/row/begin,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/row/end,
%                   }
%     At first sockets for the begin and end of cells and table rows:
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/cell/begin}{0}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/cell/end}{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
%
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/row/begin}{0}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/row/end}{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
%    Multi-line cells have their own sockets (as they start out in
%    vertical mode and need different treatment).
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/pcell/begin}{0}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/pcell/end}{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{socketdecl}
%
% \begin{socketdecl}{tagsupport/tbl/init}
%    This socket should be at the begin of the table, inside a group.
%    It is used for settings such as disabling para-tagging inside the
%    table.  This socket
%    can perhaps be merged later into the begin-sockets.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/init}{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{socketdecl}
%
%
% \begin{socketdecl}{tagsupport/tbl/finalize}
%    To fine tune the structure (change cells to header cells, remove
%    unwanted structures, move a foot to the end, etc.). We also need a
%    socket that is executed at the end of the table but \emph{before}
%    all the variables are restored to the outer or default values.
%    The code in the socket can make assignments, but probably
%    shouldn't do typesetting and not write whatsits.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/finalize}{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{socketdecl}
%


% \begin{socketdecl}{tagsupport/tbl/colspan}
%    This socket is used to manage spanning cells, e.g., a
%    \cs{multicolumn}. It expects one argument (the number of cells
%    spanned) and if tagging is enabled set appropriate tag attributes
%    in the background. We probably need a similar socket for row
%    spans eventually.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/colspan}{1}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{socketdecl}
%


% \begin{socketdecl}{tagsupport/tbl/hmode/begin,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/hmode/end,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/vmode/begin,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/vmode/end
%                   }
%
%    These sockets are used in the begin and end code of environments,
%    to allow a fast enabling and disabling of the tagging. We
%    distinguish between tables that can be used inside paragraphs and
%    standalone tables such as \env{longtable} that are always in
%    vertical mode.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/hmode/begin}{0}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/hmode/end}{0}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/vmode/begin}{0}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/vmode/end}{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{socketdecl}
%
%
%
% \begin{socketdecl}{tagsupport/tbl/longtable/init,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/longtable/finalize}
%    \env{longtable} needs its own sockets to fine tune the structure.
%    Simply switching the plug in the previous socket interferes with
%    enabling/disabling the tagging.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/longtable/init}{0}
\NewSocket{tagsupport/tbl/longtable/finalize}{0}
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{socketdecl}
%
% \begin{socketdecl}{tagsupport/tbl/longtable/head,
%                    tagsupport/tbl/longtable/foot}
%    Header and footer boxes need special handling because they are repeatedly
%    used.
%    \begin{macrocode}

% \subsection{Variables for row, column and span counting}
%
%  This part needs a decision on names for various integer registers
%  as well as a decision if those should be also made available for
%  \LaTeXe{}-style packages in form of 2e names and or as
%  non-internals for the L3 programming layer.
%
%  At the moment they are all internal but this probably has to change.
%
%  \begin{macro}{
%     \g_@@_col_int,
%     \g_@@_row_int,
%     \g_@@_span_tl,
%     \g_@@_table_cols_tl}
%    
%    \cs{g_@@_row_int} holds the current row number in the table. The
%    value \texttt{0} means we haven't yet processed the table
%    preamble (or in case of longtable are just in front of the next
%    chunk to be processed). It is incremented by every \cs{cr}
%    including the one ending the table preamble.
%
%    TODO: due to the gymnastics needed inside the longtable code the
%    row counter is directly exposed there rather than hidden by
%    interfaces. This needs changing when it is decided how to manage
%    these counters.
%
%    \cs{g_@@_col_int} holds the current column number. The value
%    \texttt{0} means we have not yet started the table or just finished a table row
%    (with \verb=\\= typically); any other positive value means we
%    are currently typesetting a cell in that column in some row
%    (denoted by the \cs{g_@@_row_int}).
%
%    In a \cs{multicolumn} it holds the column number of the first
%    spanned column and \cs{g_@@_span_tl} the info how many cells are
%    spanned.
%
%    \cs{g_@@_span_tl} is normally \texttt{1} except in a

%  style names for them.
%
%  \begin{macro}{\tbl_update_cell_data:}
%    Updating cell data in columns after the first means we have to

%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \tbl_update_multicolumn_cell_data:n #1 {
%    \end{macrocode}
%    We execute socket for tagging only if this \cs{multicolumn}
%    replaces the preamble of the first column. In that case we also have
%    to set \cs{g_@@_col_int} to 1 because this is no longer done in the

%    If we are in a later column we use \cs{g_@@_span_tl} from the

         \int_gadd:Nn \g_@@_col_int { \g_@@_span_tl }

%  \begin{macro}{\tbl_crcr:n}
%    This macro is used instead of the usual \cs{crcr} at the end of a
%    table. It is deliberately defined without protection because it
%    may get expanded by the scanning mechanism of low-level \TeX{}
%    after a final \cs{cr} (aka \verb=\\=) in the table. In that case
%    it shouldn't stop the expansion and the conditional inside will
%    be false, thus it just vanishes without doing anything. If there
%    are missing cells (in which case we also haven't see \cs{cr} yet)
%    the macro \cs{tbl_count_missing_cells:n} is executed and
%    then the row is finished with a final \cs{cr}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new:Npn \tbl_crcr:n #1 {  
    \int_compare:nNnT \g_@@_col_int > 0
        {
          \tbl_count_missing_cells:n {#1}
          \cr
