\ProvidesPackage{convtran}[2016/11/30 for transcription of conversation]
\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
\RequirePackage{lineno,wasysym,graphicx}

%% This is a very heavily modified version of James Kilfiger's
%% `play.sty' (by now, it is probably unrecognisable) Outline of
%% package use: designed to make doing transcriptions of conversation
%% a bit easier, principally through the definition of new commands
%% (e.g. \convturn, \convinfo, \phon, \glos, \tran) and its interaction with
%% the lineno.sty package (which is required in order to work). See
%% convtran.tex for documentation.

%% CHANGES
%% 2019/10/17: changed original turn command from \turn to \convturn as of package conflicts, added minipage functionality
%% 2016/11/30: tried to reduce the effect of using marginpars for arrows
%% 2016/05/04: added code to allow numbering to be resumed
%% 2012/01/18: added code to do figure labels above relevant lines
%% 2010/01/19: added \setconvrightmargin{} functionality to allow
%% length to be added to the right margin of transcriptions
%% (undocumented: just add the command, and length, to the preamble)
%% 2009/07/08: changed some \samepage commands to \nopagebreak due to
%% broken page breaking when using \phon{}, \convinfo{} etc

\section{Introduction}

\verb!convtran.sty! is intended to simplify the presentation of
transcriptions of conversation with \LaTeX.  It does this primarily
through a modified list environment, supplemented by a pallette of
commands for the user to adjust the trancriptions according to the
precise circumstances in which the package is being used.

Caveat: this documentation is only intended to give an overview
of the package, and outline its main features; see also the package
itself for comments on the functions.

\section{Some examples}

\subsection{A simple example}
\begin{convtran}
\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
\end{convtran}
\noindent The above example was created with this:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{convtran}
\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
\end{convtran}
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{A more complicated example}
\begin{convtran}
\convturn{D:} O:h (I k-)=
\convturn{A:} =Dz that make any sense to you?
\convturn{C:} Mn mh. I don’ even know who she is.
\convturn{A:} She’s that’s, the Sister Kerrida, [who,
\convturn{D:} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[.hhh
\convturn{D:} Oh [\underline{that’s} the one you to:ld [me you bought
\convturn{C:} ~~~[Oh-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[
\convturn{A:} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\underline{Ye:h}
\end{convtran}
This is the code required:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{convtran}
\convturn{D:} O:h (I k-)=
\convturn{A:} =Dz that make any sense to you?
\convturn{C:} Mn mh. I don’ even know who she is.
\convturn{A:} She’s that’s, the Sister Kerrida, [who,
\convturn{D:} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[.hhh
\convturn{D:} Oh [\underline{that’s} the one you to:ld [me you bought
\convturn{C:} ~~~[Oh-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[
\convturn{A:} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\underline{Ye:h}
\end{convtran}
\end{verbatim}
Note that the overlapping talk has to be aligned manually using spaces
(\verb!~!) or commands like \verb!\hspace{3em}!.

\subsection{Numbered examples}
You can use a package like \verb!gb4e! to provide numbered examples:
\begin{verbatim}
(...)
\usepackage{gb4e}
(...)
\begin{exe}
  \ex An example
  \begin{convtran}
  \convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
  \convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
  \end{convtran}
\end{exe}
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Line breaks}
One major benefit of this package, being based on the \verb!list!
environment, is that line breaking is handled automatically.  So, the
following has only two \verb!turn! commands:
\begin{convtran}
\convturn{Bob:} This is a test to see how long I should talk for to get
onto the next line. Seems I have to talk for longer than I expected.
\convturn{Jim:} This is also a test of the same thing, Bob my old
mate. I'll continue for a bit longer, just to make sure.
\end{convtran}
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{convtran}
\convturn{Bob:} This is a test to see how long I should talk for to get
onto the next line. Seems I have to talk for longer than I expected.
\convturn{Jim:} This is also a test of the same thing, Bob my old
mate. I'll continue for a bit longer, just to make sure.
\end{convtran}
\end{verbatim}

To insert line breaks manually try \verb!\\!:
\begin{convtran}
\convturn{Bob:} This is a test to see how long I should talk\\for to get
onto the next line. Seems I have\\to talk for longer than I expected.
\convturn{Jim:} This is also a test of the same thing,\\Bob my old
mate. I'll continue for a bit\\ longer, just to make sure.
\end{convtran}
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{convtran}
\convturn{Bob:} This is a test to see how long I should talk\\for to get
onto the next line. Seems I have\\to talk for longer than I expected.
\convturn{Jim:} This is also a test of the same thing,\\Bob my old
mate. I'll continue for a bit\\ longer, just to make sure.
\end{convtran}
\end{verbatim}
Manual line breaks can be useful when aligning talk in overlap.

\section{Adjusting the typesetting}

There are many aspects of the layout which might need fine-tuning in
order to handle different page layouts, sizes, or even just personal
preference as to the placement of elements.  The elements are designed
to be easily manipulated, and while the package defaults are intended
to be reasonable, more often than not the user will have to specify
aspects of the layout in the preamble.

There are important dimensions which are adjustable, either on a
case by case basis, or in the preamble:
\begin{enumerate}
\item placement of arrow, with \verb!\setarrowplace{length}!
\item placement of line numbers, with \verb!\setlinenoplace{length}!
\item font of main transcription, with \verb!\setconvfont{font}!
\item font of labelled arrows with \verb!\setarrowfont{font}!
\item font of gloss line, translation line, or information line with
  \verb!\setglosfont}!, \verb!\settranfont!, and \verb!\setinfofont!
respectively
\item amount speaker label is indented from the left with
  \verb!\setconvindent{length}!
\item width of the speaker label with
  \verb!\setconvlabelwidth{length}! in the preamble, or a length in
  square brackets following \verb!\begin{convtran}! to change
  individual cases
\end{enumerate}

So if you wanted to adjust some of the parameters for all cases, you might
have a preamble like this:
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage{convtran}
\setlinenoplace{1cm}
\setarrowplace{0cm}
\setconvindent{2cm}
\setconvlabelwidth{3cm}
\setconvrightmargin{1cm}
\setconvfont{\sf}
\setarrowfont{\tt}
\end{verbatim}
If you wanted to change some of the parameters for a smaller number of
cases (and therefore didn't want to change the defaults for the entire
document) you might do something like this, which adjusts the
parameters only for that particular case.
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{convtran}[3cm]
\setlinenoplace{1cm}
\setarrowplace{0cm}
\setconvindent{2cm}
\setconvfont{\sf}
\setarrowfont{\tt}
\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob. \hllab{2.8cm}{A}
\end{convtran}
\end{verbatim}
Both produce this (which is ugly, but it shows the features):
\begin{convtran}[3cm]
\setlinenoplace{1cm}
\setarrowplace{0cm}
\setconvindent{2cm}
\setconvfont{\sf}
\setarrowfont{\tt}
\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob. \hllab{2.8cm}{A}
\end{convtran}

You should bear in mind that trial-and-error will almost certainly
have to employed to successfully redefine these lengths for a good
layout.  For instance, you may find that some lengths require positive
values while others require negative ones.  To give a few clues, bear
in mind that
\begin{itemize}
\item \verb!linenoplace! and \verb!convindent! are usually negative,
  and should be tenths of cm (if you are using cms for your lengths);
\item \verb!setarrowplace! is usually a positive integer (whole number);
\item the number in [ ] after \verb!\begin{convtran}! (is used) is
    usually positive but less than 1.
\end{itemize}

To adjust (increase) the right margin, use
\verb!\setconvrightmargin{length}! in the preamble.


Footnotes are also possible to some degree, by way of this kind of
coding:\footnote{Note however that the same mechanism for highlighting
  lines (i.e. $\backslash$\texttt{marginpar}) doesn't seem to be possible;
  likewise, line numbers disappear.
    \begin{convtran}[2cm]
    \setconvindent{1cm}
    \convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim.
    \convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
    \end{convtran}}
\begin{verbatim}
\footnote{\begin{convtran}[2cm]
          \setconvindent{1cm}
          \convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim.
          \convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
          \end{convtran}}
\end{verbatim}

\section{Starting line numbering at values other than 1}

If you want line numbering to start at something other than 1, use
\verb!\linenumbers[xx]!.  For instance, this
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{convtran}
\linenumbers[11]
\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
\end{convtran}
\end{verbatim}
produces
\begin{convtran}
\linenumbers[11]
\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
\end{convtran}

If you want to continue numbering from where an earlier excerpt ended,
use \verb!\convtocont! and \verb!\convcont!. This:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{convtran}
  \convturn{A:} hello
  \convturn{B:} hello
\end{convtran}\convtocont
Here is a continuation from where we left off:
\begin{convtran}\convcont
  \convturn{A:} hello
  \convturn{B:} hello
\end{convtran}
\end{verbatim}
produces this:
\begin{convtran}
  \convturn{A:} hello
  \convturn{B:} hello
\end{convtran}\convtocont
Here is a continuation from where we left off:
\begin{convtran}\convcont
  \convturn{A:} hello
  \convturn{B:} hello
\end{convtran}
Note that \verb!\convtocont! must go after \verb!\end{convtran}!: if
you put it before, your next line numbers will start with the same
number as the last line. You can even start again from where you left
off later if you like by entering \verb!\convcont! at some later point.

You can remember where you were up to in more than one excerpt by
creating new counters and referring to those e.g.
\begin{verbatim}
\newcounter{endofconvTwo}
\newcommand{\convtocontTwo}{\setcounter{endofconvTwo}{\thelinenumber}}
\newcommand{\convcontTwo}{\linenumbers[\theendofconvTwo]}
\end{verbatim}
You can then use \verb!\convcontTwo! to recall the new counter, or
\verb!\convcont! to recall the original one.


\section{Other commands}

A range of other commands are provided:
\begin{description}
\item{\verb!\convturn{label}{text}!} for numbered turns at talk
\item{\verb!\convturn*{label}{text}!} for unnumbered turns at talk
\item{\verb!\phon{label}{text}!} for unnumbered phonetic details
\item{\verb!\info{label}{text}!} for unnumbered information
\item{\verb!\glos{label}{text}!} for unnumbered gloss lines
\item{\verb!\tran{label}{text}!} for unnumbered translation lines
\end{description}
Some symbols are also provided:
\begin{description}
\item{\verb!\high!} up arrow
\item{\verb!\low!} down arrow
\item{\verb!\q!} raised circle
\item{\verb!\ul{text}!} underlining
\item{\verb!\hl!} arrow in the margin
\item{\verb!\Hl!} double arrow in the margin
\item{\verb!\hllab{XX}{foo}!} labelled arrow in the margin, where
  \verb!XX! is however far you want to bump along the arrow in order
  to make space for the label, and \verb!foo! is the label
\item{\verb!\Hllab{XX}{foo}!} as previous, but with a double arrow
\item{\verb!\margmark{XX}!} arbitrary margin marks (XX in this case)
\end{description}


The package can be loaded with the options
\verb![single/onehalf/double]! to adjust the line spacing.  Default
(i.e. where no option is loaded) is single.  So, if you wanted double
line spacing, in your preamble use \verb!\usepackage[double]{convtran}!.

\section{Referring to figures}

You might want to refer to figures, e.g. screenshots.  For this use
the \verb!\figlab! command.
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{convtran}
  \convturn{A:} one two three four
  \figlabs{}  \figlab{1}~~~~~~~~~\figlab{2}~~~~~~~~
              \figlab{3}~~~~~~\figlab{4}\vspace*{-5pt}%
  \convturn{B:} this is a test of some labels
\end{convtran}
\end{verbatim}
produces
\begin{convtran}
  \convturn{A:} one two three four
  \figlabs{}  \figlab{1}~~~~~~~~~\figlab{2}~~~~~~~~
              \figlab{3}~~~~~~\fraglab{4}\vspace*{-5pt}%
  \convturn{B:} this is a test of some labels
\end{convtran}
The \verb!\vspace*{-5pt}! command isn't essential, but it does put the
arrow a bit closer to the text.  Note that you can use the
\verb!\ref{}! command inside \verb!\figlab! to refer to a figure.

\section{Known problems}

\begin{itemize}
\item Using \verb![! at the start of a turn is fatal: use \verb!{[}!
\item Using \verb!\hl!, \verb!\lab! \verb!\labhl!, \verb!\textlabhl!
  at the start of a turn (ie. before any text) is fatal
\item The package uses \verb!\marginpar! to highlight lines with an
  arrow in the margin: this would cause problems for anyone using
  convtran in a document with \verb!\marginpar! used for other things
  e.g. users of \verb!classicthesis! and \verb!\todonotes!; if there
  are problems then the \verb!marginnote! package might help
\item \verb!convtran! and \verb!rotating! clash as both define
  \verb!turn!.  Try this as a workaround:
\begin{verbatim}
  \usepackage{rotating}
  \let\convturn\relax
  \usepackage{convtran}
\end{verbatim}
\end{itemize}

\section{Using it in minipage}

    \begin{convtran*}

        \convturnmini{U8} for me from where I stand its not that massive eehh panning you know
        \convturnmini{U7} eh no actually it should be stretched, shall we
                          try em, we could stretch these [ end points
        \convturnmini{U8} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[ yeah, eh ehm
        \figlabs{}        ~~~~~~~~\figlab{a}\vspace*{-5pt}%
        \convturnmini{U8} yeah you stretch yours like your side, your end %((fig. ))
        \convturnmini{U7} okay
        \convturnmini{U8} I'll stretch this end okay
        \convturnmini{U7} okay that sounds good

	\ProvidesPackage{convtran}[2016/11/30 for transcription of conversation]
	\NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}
	\RequirePackage{lineno,wasysym,graphicx}

	%% This is a very heavily modified version of James Kilfiger's
	%% `play.sty' (by now, it is probably unrecognisable) Outline of
	%% package use: designed to make doing transcriptions of conversation
	%% a bit easier, principally through the definition of new commands
	%% (e.g. \convturn, \convinfo, \phon, \glos, \tran) and its interaction with
	%% the lineno.sty package (which is required in order to work). See
	%% convtran.tex for documentation.

	%% CHANGES
	%% 2019/10/17: changed original turn command from \turn to \convturn as of package conflicts, added minipage functionality
	%% 2016/11/30: tried to reduce the effect of using marginpars for arrows
	%% 2016/05/04: added code to allow numbering to be resumed
	%% 2012/01/18: added code to do figure labels above relevant lines
	%% 2010/01/19: added \setconvrightmargin{} functionality to allow
	%% length to be added to the right margin of transcriptions
	%% (undocumented: just add the command, and length, to the preamble)
	%% 2009/07/08: changed some \samepage commands to \nopagebreak due to
	%% broken page breaking when using \phon{}, \convinfo{} etc

	\section{Introduction}

	\verb!convtran.sty! is intended to simplify the presentation of
	transcriptions of conversation with \LaTeX. It does this primarily
	through a modified list environment, supplemented by a pallette of
	commands for the user to adjust the trancriptions according to the
	precise circumstances in which the package is being used.

	Caveat: this documentation is only intended to give an overview
	of the package, and outline its main features; see also the package
	itself for comments on the functions.

	\section{Some examples}

	\subsection{A simple example}
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
	\end{convtran}
	\noindent The above example was created with this:
	\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
	\end{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}

	\subsection{A more complicated example}
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{D:} O:h (I k-)=
	\convturn{A:} =Dz that make any sense to you?
	\convturn{C:} Mn mh. I don’ even know who she is.
	\convturn{A:} She’s that’s, the Sister Kerrida, [who,
	\convturn{D:} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[.hhh
	\convturn{D:} Oh [\underline{that’s} the one you to:ld [me you bought
	\convturn{C:} ~~~[Oh-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[
	\convturn{A:} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\underline{Ye:h}
	\end{convtran}
	This is the code required:
	\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{D:} O:h (I k-)=
	\convturn{A:} =Dz that make any sense to you?
	\convturn{C:} Mn mh. I don’ even know who she is.
	\convturn{A:} She’s that’s, the Sister Kerrida, [who,
	\convturn{D:} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[.hhh
	\convturn{D:} Oh [\underline{that’s} the one you to:ld [me you bought
	\convturn{C:} ~~~[Oh-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[
	\convturn{A:} ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\underline{Ye:h}
	\end{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}
	Note that the overlapping talk has to be aligned manually using spaces
	(\verb!~!) or commands like \verb!\hspace{3em}!.

	\subsection{Numbered examples}
	You can use a package like \verb!gb4e! to provide numbered examples:
	\begin{verbatim}
	(...)
	\usepackage{gb4e}
	(...)
	\begin{exe}
	\ex An example
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
	\end{convtran}
	\end{exe}
	\end{verbatim}

	\subsection{Line breaks}
	One major benefit of this package, being based on the \verb!list!
	environment, is that line breaking is handled automatically. So, the
	following has only two \verb!turn! commands:
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{Bob:} This is a test to see how long I should talk for to get
	onto the next line. Seems I have to talk for longer than I expected.
	\convturn{Jim:} This is also a test of the same thing, Bob my old
	mate. I'll continue for a bit longer, just to make sure.
	\end{convtran}
	\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{Bob:} This is a test to see how long I should talk for to get
	onto the next line. Seems I have to talk for longer than I expected.
	\convturn{Jim:} This is also a test of the same thing, Bob my old
	mate. I'll continue for a bit longer, just to make sure.
	\end{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}

	To insert line breaks manually try \verb!\\!:
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{Bob:} This is a test to see how long I should talk\\for to get
	onto the next line. Seems I have\\to talk for longer than I expected.
	\convturn{Jim:} This is also a test of the same thing,\\Bob my old
	mate. I'll continue for a bit\\ longer, just to make sure.
	\end{convtran}
	\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{Bob:} This is a test to see how long I should talk\\for to get
	onto the next line. Seems I have\\to talk for longer than I expected.
	\convturn{Jim:} This is also a test of the same thing,\\Bob my old
	mate. I'll continue for a bit\\ longer, just to make sure.
	\end{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}
	Manual line breaks can be useful when aligning talk in overlap.

	\section{Adjusting the typesetting}

	There are many aspects of the layout which might need fine-tuning in
	order to handle different page layouts, sizes, or even just personal
	preference as to the placement of elements. The elements are designed
	to be easily manipulated, and while the package defaults are intended
	to be reasonable, more often than not the user will have to specify
	aspects of the layout in the preamble.

	There are important dimensions which are adjustable, either on a
	case by case basis, or in the preamble:
	\begin{enumerate}
	\item placement of arrow, with \verb!\setarrowplace{length}!
	\item placement of line numbers, with \verb!\setlinenoplace{length}!
	\item font of main transcription, with \verb!\setconvfont{font}!
	\item font of labelled arrows with \verb!\setarrowfont{font}!
	\item font of gloss line, translation line, or information line with
	\verb!\setglosfont}!, \verb!\settranfont!, and \verb!\setinfofont!
	respectively
	\item amount speaker label is indented from the left with
	\verb!\setconvindent{length}!
	\item width of the speaker label with
	\verb!\setconvlabelwidth{length}! in the preamble, or a length in
	square brackets following \verb!\begin{convtran}! to change
	individual cases
	\end{enumerate}

	So if you wanted to adjust some of the parameters for all cases, you might
	have a preamble like this:
	\begin{verbatim}
	\usepackage{convtran}
	\setlinenoplace{1cm}
	\setarrowplace{0cm}
	\setconvindent{2cm}
	\setconvlabelwidth{3cm}
	\setconvrightmargin{1cm}
	\setconvfont{\sf}
	\setarrowfont{\tt}
	\end{verbatim}
	If you wanted to change some of the parameters for a smaller number of
	cases (and therefore didn't want to change the defaults for the entire
	document) you might do something like this, which adjusts the
	parameters only for that particular case.
	\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{convtran}[3cm]
	\setlinenoplace{1cm}
	\setarrowplace{0cm}
	\setconvindent{2cm}
	\setconvfont{\sf}
	\setarrowfont{\tt}
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob. \hllab{2.8cm}{A}
	\end{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}
	Both produce this (which is ugly, but it shows the features):
	\begin{convtran}[3cm]
	\setlinenoplace{1cm}
	\setarrowplace{0cm}
	\setconvindent{2cm}
	\setconvfont{\sf}
	\setarrowfont{\tt}
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob. \hllab{2.8cm}{A}
	\end{convtran}

	You should bear in mind that trial-and-error will almost certainly
	have to employed to successfully redefine these lengths for a good
	layout. For instance, you may find that some lengths require positive
	values while others require negative ones. To give a few clues, bear
	in mind that
	\begin{itemize}
	\item \verb!linenoplace! and \verb!convindent! are usually negative,
	and should be tenths of cm (if you are using cms for your lengths);
	\item \verb!setarrowplace! is usually a positive integer (whole number);
	\item the number in [ ] after \verb!\begin{convtran}! (is used) is
	usually positive but less than 1.
	\end{itemize}

	To adjust (increase) the right margin, use
	\verb!\setconvrightmargin{length}! in the preamble.


	Footnotes are also possible to some degree, by way of this kind of
	coding:\footnote{Note however that the same mechanism for highlighting
	lines (i.e. $\backslash$\texttt{marginpar}) doesn't seem to be possible;
	likewise, line numbers disappear.
	\begin{convtran}[2cm]
	\setconvindent{1cm}
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim.
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
	\end{convtran}}
	\begin{verbatim}
	\footnote{\begin{convtran}[2cm]
	\setconvindent{1cm}
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim.
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
	\end{convtran}}
	\end{verbatim}

	\section{Starting line numbering at values other than 1}

	If you want line numbering to start at something other than 1, use
	\verb!\linenumbers[xx]!. For instance, this
	\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{convtran}
	\linenumbers[11]
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
	\end{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}
	produces
	\begin{convtran}
	\linenumbers[11]
	\convturn{Bob:} Hello Jim. \hl
	\convturn{Jim:} Hello Bob.
	\end{convtran}

	If you want to continue numbering from where an earlier excerpt ended,
	use \verb!\convtocont! and \verb!\convcont!. This:
	\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{A:} hello
	\convturn{B:} hello
	\end{convtran}\convtocont
	Here is a continuation from where we left off:
	\begin{convtran}\convcont
	\convturn{A:} hello
	\convturn{B:} hello
	\end{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}
	produces this:
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{A:} hello
	\convturn{B:} hello
	\end{convtran}\convtocont
	Here is a continuation from where we left off:
	\begin{convtran}\convcont
	\convturn{A:} hello
	\convturn{B:} hello
	\end{convtran}
	Note that \verb!\convtocont! must go after \verb!\end{convtran}!: if
	you put it before, your next line numbers will start with the same
	number as the last line. You can even start again from where you left
	off later if you like by entering \verb!\convcont! at some later point.

	You can remember where you were up to in more than one excerpt by
	creating new counters and referring to those e.g.
	\begin{verbatim}
	\newcounter{endofconvTwo}
	\newcommand{\convtocontTwo}{\setcounter{endofconvTwo}{\thelinenumber}}
	\newcommand{\convcontTwo}{\linenumbers[\theendofconvTwo]}
	\end{verbatim}
	You can then use \verb!\convcontTwo! to recall the new counter, or
	\verb!\convcont! to recall the original one.


	\section{Other commands}

	A range of other commands are provided:
	\begin{description}
	\item{\verb!\convturn{label}{text}!} for numbered turns at talk
	\item{\verb!\convturn*{label}{text}!} for unnumbered turns at talk
	\item{\verb!\phon{label}{text}!} for unnumbered phonetic details
	\item{\verb!\info{label}{text}!} for unnumbered information
	\item{\verb!\glos{label}{text}!} for unnumbered gloss lines
	\item{\verb!\tran{label}{text}!} for unnumbered translation lines
	\end{description}
	Some symbols are also provided:
	\begin{description}
	\item{\verb!\high!} up arrow
	\item{\verb!\low!} down arrow
	\item{\verb!\q!} raised circle
	\item{\verb!\ul{text}!} underlining
	\item{\verb!\hl!} arrow in the margin
	\item{\verb!\Hl!} double arrow in the margin
	\item{\verb!\hllab{XX}{foo}!} labelled arrow in the margin, where
	\verb!XX! is however far you want to bump along the arrow in order
	to make space for the label, and \verb!foo! is the label
	\item{\verb!\Hllab{XX}{foo}!} as previous, but with a double arrow
	\item{\verb!\margmark{XX}!} arbitrary margin marks (XX in this case)
	\end{description}




	The package can be loaded with the options
	\verb![single/onehalf/double]! to adjust the line spacing. Default
	(i.e. where no option is loaded) is single. So, if you wanted double
	line spacing, in your preamble use \verb!\usepackage[double]{convtran}!.

	\section{Referring to figures}

	You might want to refer to figures, e.g. screenshots. For this use
	the \verb!\figlab! command.
	\begin{verbatim}
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{A:} one two three four
	\figlabs{} \figlab{1}~~~~~~~~~\figlab{2}~~~~~~~~
	\figlab{3}~~~~~~\figlab{4}\vspace*{-5pt}%
	\convturn{B:} this is a test of some labels
	\end{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}
	produces
	\begin{convtran}
	\convturn{A:} one two three four
	\figlabs{} \figlab{1}~~~~~~~~~\figlab{2}~~~~~~~~
	\figlab{3}~~~~~~\fraglab{4}\vspace*{-5pt}%
	\convturn{B:} this is a test of some labels
	\end{convtran}
	The \verb!\vspace*{-5pt}! command isn't essential, but it does put the
	arrow a bit closer to the text. Note that you can use the
	\verb!\ref{}! command inside \verb!\figlab! to refer to a figure.

	\section{Known problems}

	\begin{itemize}
	\item Using \verb![! at the start of a turn is fatal: use \verb!{[}!
	\item Using \verb!\hl!, \verb!\lab! \verb!\labhl!, \verb!\textlabhl!
	at the start of a turn (ie. before any text) is fatal
	\item The package uses \verb!\marginpar! to highlight lines with an
	arrow in the margin: this would cause problems for anyone using
	convtran in a document with \verb!\marginpar! used for other things
	e.g. users of \verb!classicthesis! and \verb!\todonotes!; if there
	are problems then the \verb!marginnote! package might help
	\item \verb!convtran! and \verb!rotating! clash as both define
	\verb!turn!. Try this as a workaround:
	\begin{verbatim}
	\usepackage{rotating}
	\let\convturn\relax
	\usepackage{convtran}
	\end{verbatim}
	\end{itemize}

	\section{Using it in minipage}
