%
% This module provides support for color in \LaTeX3{}. At present, the
% material here is mainly intended to support a small number of low-level
% requirements in other \pkg{l3kernel} modules.
%
% \section{Color in boxes}
%
% Controlling the color of text in boxes requires a small number of control
% functions, so that the boxed material uses the color at the point where
% it is set, rather than where it is used.
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2011-09-03]{\color_group_begin:, \color_group_end:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{color_group_begin:}
%       \ldots
%     \cs{color_group_end:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a color group: one used to \enquote{trap} color settings.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2011-09-03]{\color_ensure_current:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{color_ensure_current:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Ensures that material inside a box uses the foreground color
%   at the point where the box is set, rather than that in force when the
%   box is used. This function should usually be used within a
%   \cs{color_group_begin:} \ldots \cs{color_group_end:} group.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Internal functions}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2017-06-15]{\l__color_current_tl}
%   The color currently active for foreground (text, \emph{etc.}) material.
%   This is stored in the form of a color model followed by one or more
%   values in the range $[0,1]$: these determine the color. The model and
%   applicable data format must be one of the following:
%   \begin{itemize}
%     \item \texttt{gray \meta{gray}} Grayscale color with the \meta{gray}
%       value running from $0$ (fully black) to $1$ (fully white)
%     \item \texttt{cmyk \meta{cyan} \meta{magenta} \meta{yellow} \meta{black}}
%     \item \texttt{rgb \meta{red} \meta{green} \meta{blue}}
%   \end{itemize}
%   Notice that the value are separated by spaces.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     This format is the native one for \texttt{dvips} color specials:
%     other drivers are expected to convert to their own format when
%     writing color data to output.
%   \end{texnote}

%
% \begin{macro}{\color_group_begin:, \color_group_end:}
%   Grouping for color is almost the same as using the basic \cs{group_begin:}
%   and \cs{group_end:} functions.  However, in vertical mode the end-of-group
%   needs a \tn{par}, which in horizontal mode does nothing.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_eq:NN \color_group_begin: \group_begin:
\cs_new_protected:Npn \color_group_end:
  {
      \par
    \group_end:
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}{\color_ensure_current:}
%   A driver-independent wrapper for setting the foreground color to the
%   current color \enquote{now}.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \color_ensure_current:
  {
    \__driver_color_ensure_current:
    \group_insert_after:N \__driver_color_reset:
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l__color_current_tl}
%   The current color: the format here is taken from \texttt{dvips} but it
%   is easy enough to convert to \texttt{pdfmode} as required.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\tl_new:N \l__color_current_tl
\tl_set:Nn \l__color_current_tl { gray~0 }
%    \end{macrocode}
