% \section{\pkg{l3pdffield} Introduction}
% The implementation of form fields in hyperref has some bugs\footnote{see for example
% \url{https://github.com/latex3/hyperref/issues/94}}. This package is a first step
% towards the goal to review and improve the code of form fields.
%
% It is a temporary package:
% the definite home of the code is not yet decided, and during the development
% changes in the interfaces are possible.
%
% The package itself is currently loaded with
% \begin{verbatim}
% \usepackage{l3pdffield}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% The source code is split into various submodules. All code is combined in the
% sty, but the documentation is in individual PDF.
% \begin{description}
% \item[\texttt{l3pdffield}] This contains the basic commands and keys
%  to create a form field.
% \item[\texttt{l3pdffield-checkbox}]  The code to created checkboxes.
% \item[\texttt{l3pdffield-textfield}] The code to created text fields.
% \item[\texttt{l3pdffield-radiobutton}] The code to create radio buttons.
% \item[\texttt{l3pdffield-pushbutton}] The code to create push buttons.
% \item[\texttt{l3pdffield-choice}] The code to create choice fields (lists and drop-down/combo
% fields.
% \item[\texttt{l3pdffield-action}]
% Code related to actions, mostly submit and reset actions.
% \item[\texttt{l3pdffield-signature}] (not done yet) Code for signature fields
% \item[Form initialization] (not done yet) The |\Form| command/environment
% of \pkg{hyperref} initialize a few things like fonts
% for text fields which should be moved. It is not strictly necessary to
% have this code, most examples works without it, but in case of problems it is
% possible to do the initialization by using the \pkg{hyperref} command.
% \end{description}
%
% The code requires the new PDF management. The code makes use of
% \pkg{l3pdfxform} to create the form Xobjects of the appearances.
% This code doesn't support yet the the dvips backend.
%
% The code targets PDF~2.0. This doesn't mean that it won't work in older
% PDF versions, but it tries to implement requirements needed or recommended
% for 2.0; most importantly appearances are used by default everywhere and it
% deprecates |/NeedAppearances|.
%
% Please keep in mind
% \begin{itemize}
% \item Not every PDF viewer supports form fields or all types and features.
% \item The handling can depend on settings in the PDF viewer. In adobe reader for
% example I had to disable an option to avoid that it tries to create an appearance
% itself.
% \item Standards like pdf/A disable some features of form fields like javascript actions
%  (as you typically can't change the PDF).
% \end{itemize}
%
% If \pkg{hyperref} is loaded before
% the package will suppress the deprecated |/NeedAppearances| setting. If \pkg{hyperref}
% is loaded later you should do it in the \cs{Form} options.
%
% So a typical use together with hyperref could look like this
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \DocumentMetadata{} 
% \documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{hyperref}
% \usepackage{l3pdffield}
% \begin{document}
% \Form
% \end{verbatim}
% or
% \begin{verbatim}
% \RequirePackage{pdfmanagement} 
% \documentclass{article}
% \usepackage{hyperref}
% \usepackage{l3pdffield}
% \begin{document}
% \Form
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \section{Some background}
%
% A document can contain a arbitrary number of fields which can be organized in trees.
% The leaf fields in such a tree, the \emph{terminal fields}, typically have
% widget annotations as kids which are then the actual, visual instances of the field,
% and allow to interact with the field. I will call such a
% tree a \emph{fieldset}, nodes \emph{fields} and the widget annotation
% \emph{field annotations}.
%
% If a field has only one child annotation the content of the field dictionary and the
% widget annotation dictionary can be merged---some examples in the PDF reference
% show such merged dictionaries---but the code here keeps them separate, at the end
% this is clearer.
%
% A simple example would look like this
%
%  \begin{tikzpicture}[level 2/.style={level distance=7mm},
%  level 1/.style={sibling distance=25mm},
%  level 2/.style={sibling distance=15mm}]
%   \node[draw] {week}
%   child {node[draw] {mon}
%           child {node[draw,dashed] {annot}}
%         }
%   child {node[draw] {tue}
%          child {node[draw,dashed] {annot}}
%         }
%   child {node[draw] {wen}
%           child {node[draw,dashed] {annot}}
%           child {node[draw,dashed] {annot}}
%         }
%   ;
%   \end{tikzpicture}
%
% In many cases a fieldset consists of only one field along with its field annotation(s),
% but larger sets can be needed to build more complex interactions with javascript code.
% For example a datepicker can be built as a fieldset with various fields to represent
% the month and year choice and to select days.
%
% Fields in a fieldset should have a name, for example |wen| or |week| in the example
% above. This name is the \emph{partial name} of the field, the \emph{full name}
% is than built from it by adding the names of the parents separated by periods.
% In the example above the partial name is \texttt{mon} and the full name
% \texttt{week.mon}.
% Partial names shouldn't contain periods. If two fields have the same name they will
% work in unison: if you enter text in one field, the text appears also in the other, such
% fields must have the same type and the same value and default value entry.
% If a field has no name it is considered to be a simple widget annotation and so
% only another representation of its parent.
%
%
% All terminal fields should also have a type, e.g. \texttt{Btn} for a button field,
% or \texttt{Tx} for a textfield. The type can be set for the parent and then inherited.
% The fields in a fieldset can have different types.
%
% \subsection{The look of a field: Appearances and other settings}
%
% The look of widget annotation of a field can be set with various keys. The keys developed over
% time and some of them supersede older ones. There is for example the simple
% |/Border|, the more sophisticated |/BS| (\enquote{border style dictionary}),
% the \enquote{dynamic appearance dictionary} |MK|, with lots of keys,
% and the appearance dictionary |/AP| which
% may define as many as three separate appearances:
% the normal appearance (required), the rollover appearance and the down appearance.
% Such an appearance can be a simple form XObjects%
%   \footnote{Such form XObjects are small pictures stored in the PDF which
%       can be referenced in various part of the PDF. They can be
%       created with the commands of the \pkg{l3pdfxform} package.}%
% , but in some cases the annotation can have different \emph{appearance states}:
% a checkbox
% for example can be checked or unchecked, in this case the appearances
% are dictionaries which
% maps state names like |/Yes| and |/Off| to form XObjects.
%
% The annotations cover a rectangular area on
% the page and form XObjects appearances are squeezed into this rectangle.
% So for the best result
% both should have the same ratio of width and height. Simple plain backgrounds can
% also be created in large size and reused for various annotations.
% Form XObjects used as appearances can not be rotated, if needed one has to
% create a new appearance.
%
%
% In PDF 2.0 widget annotations must have at least a normal |/AP| appearance
% (unless the size  of the annotation is zero) and the keys \enquote{\itshape C, IC, Border,
% BS, BE, BM, CA, ca, H, DA, Q,
% DS, LE, LL, LLE, and Sy shall be ignored}. But it is quite unclear if
% PDF Viewer honor this, and if this make sense e.g. for text fields which require
% a DA entry. It is also not clear how appearances and the entries of the MK dictionary
% are related in a form field.  Tests with some PDF viewers
% are needed here.
%
% \subsection{Tagged PDF}
%
% Field annotations are (like link annotations) not part of the page stream. But
% they are obviously nevertheless meaningful content and must be consider if
% a PDF is \enquote{tagged}, that means if a structure is added.
%
% According to the PDF references fields should be tagged by adding a |Form| structure
% element containing the object reference to a field annotations. Fields with more than
% one annotation like radio buttons need a |Form| structure for every one.
% Additional some cross references to structure relevant object like the parent tree
% are needed, for more info check the documentation of the \pkg{tagpdf} package.
%
% The commands of this module already contain the needed support. So if
% \pkg{tagpdf} is used and tagging activated the fields will be added as |Form| element
% to the structure where they are created. It is possible to deactivate tagging for
% a field annotation by setting the |tag| to false as described below.
%
% If lualatex is used tagging require either that \pkg{tagpdf} is used with the
% option |global-mc|, or mc-chunks must be correctly closed manually, as the automatic
% code can't escape the grouping.
%
% It is recommended to use the |TU|/|altname| key to give the field a readable
% name.
%
%
% \section{Commands}
% \begin{function}{\pdffield_field:nn,\pdffield_field:Vn}
% \begin{syntax}
%  \cs{pdffield_field:nn}\Arg{key val list}\Arg{field ID}
% \end{syntax}
% This creates a new field. \meta{field ID} will be used to create and
% reference the needed objects but it is not the direct object name, so
% |pdf_object_ref:n| can not be used to access (and there will not
% clash with object names). It is recommended to start
% the name with a module prefix to avoid name clashes, so e.g. |mymodule/field/1| or
% |mymodule/field/week|.
%
% The list of handled keys is described below.
% Typically the \meta{key val list} should at least set the name |T|, fields that
% are kids in a fieldset must set the |parent| key, this should point to a field
% declared before.
%
% The command is meant as a basic command to build more complex variants like
% checkbox or textfields. For this reason it doesn't check if
% the combination of values and flags are sensible, and it uses as key names the
% names from the PDF reference.
% If you create a button field (Btn) and set MaxLen (which is only known for text
% fields), it will not complain.
%
% Root fields (fields without parent) are added automatically to the
% Catalog/AcroForm dictionary with
%
%
% \begin{verbatim}
% \pdfmanagement_add:nne{Catalog/AcroForm}{Fields}{<obj ref>}
% \end{verbatim}
%
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\pdffield_annot:n,\pdffield_annot:V}
% \begin{syntax}
%  \cs{pdffield_annot:n}\Arg{key val list}
% \end{syntax}
% This creates a new field annotation.
% It is a widget annotation box created with \cs{pdfannot_widget_box:nnn}, and
% it is possible to add values to its dictionary
% by using |\pdfannot_dict_put:nnn {widget}...|.
% But to correctly setup the parent/kid relationship some additional wrapper code is needed.
% The command also setup dictionaries to fill the |AP|, |MK| and |AA| dictionaries.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\pdffield_annot_ref_last:}
% \begin{syntax}
%  \cs{pdffield_annot_ref_last:}
% \end{syntax}
% If a tagged PDF should be created, the object
% of the annotation of a field should be referenced in the Form structure element.
% This command allows to retrieve the reference to this object.
% \end{function}

% \begin{function}{\pdffield_appearance:nn}
% \begin{syntax}
%  \cs{pdffield_appearance:nn}\Arg{name}\Arg{content}
% \end{syntax}
% This is a small wrapper around \cs{pdfxform_new:nnn} (which could be used too)
% to create an appearance. To avoid name clashes \meta{name} should start with
% a module part, e.g. |mymodule/appearance/cross|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\pdffield_setup:n}
% \begin{syntax}
%  \cs{pdffield_setup:n}\Arg{key-val}
% \end{syntax}
% This command allows to preset some field settings.
% \end{function}
% It knows currently the following keys:
%
% \begin{function}{create-style}
% \begin{syntax}
%  |create-style| = \Arg{name}\Arg{key-val}
% \end{syntax}
% This defines a style which can then be used with the |style| key.
% \Arg{key-val} can be an arbitrary collection of the keys of the module.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{style}
% \begin{syntax}
%  |style| = \Arg{style}
% \end{syntax}
% This uses a style define with the previous |create-style|.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{preset-checkbox}
% \begin{syntax}
% |preset-checkbox|=\Arg{key-val}
% \end{syntax}
% This allows to set default keys for a checkbox.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{preset-radio}
% \begin{syntax}
% |preset-radio|=\Arg{key-val}
% \end{syntax}
% This allows to set default keys for a radio button.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{preset-textfield}
% \begin{syntax}
% |preset-textfield|=\Arg{key-val}
% \end{syntax}
% This allows to set default keys for a text field.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Special keys}
%
% \begin{function}{value,default}
% \begin{syntax}
% |value|  =\Arg{value}\\
% |default|=\Arg{value}
% \end{syntax}
% These two keys pass the value to a handler which can be redefined.
% Their exact behaviour depends on field type. Please check their documentation.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Field Keys}
%
% Table~\ref{tab:fieldkeys} summarize the keys which can be used.
% A number of keys have two names, the second is normally the name used by hyperref.
% Where is makes sense an empty value \enquote{unsets} a key.

% \end{tabular}
% \end{table}
%
% \begin{function}{parent}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |parent| = \meta{field ID}\\
%  \end{syntax}
% This declares the parent of the field. It is required if
% the field is not the root of the fieldset. The value is the field ID
% of the parent, the parent should have been already declared.
% It will add the reference to the parent field to the |/Parent| key, and also
% add reference of the kid as |/Kid| in the parent field.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{name,T}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |name| = \meta{partial name}\\
%   |T| = \meta{partial name}
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets the partial name of the field. It shouldn't contain
% a period, be not empty and sensibly consist of simple ascii chars.
% It is normally required, see above. The value is passed through \cs{pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{altname,TU}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |altname| = \meta{string}\\
%   |TU| = \meta{string}\\
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets an alternative name for user interaction.
% Unlike the name field it can use unicode or periods.
% The value is passed through \cs{pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{mappingname,TM}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |mappingname| = \meta{string}\\
%   |TM| = \meta{string}\\
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets an alternative name for the export.
% The value is passed through \cs{pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN}

%
% \begin{function}{FT}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |FT| = |Btn|\verb"|"|Tx|\verb"|"|Ch|\verb"|"|Sig|
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets the type of the field, the value should be one of
% \texttt{Btn} (button), \texttt{Tx} (text), \texttt{Ch} (choice),  \texttt{Sig} (signature).
% The value is of relevance only for terminal fields, but it can be set in a parent
% and then inherited.
% \end{function}

%   |unsetfieldflags| = |all| \verb"|" \meta{comma list of flags}\\
%   |unsetFf| = |all| \verb"|" \meta{comma list of flags}
%  \end{syntax}
%  These keys accept a list of flag names and then sets or unsets them, the resulting value
% is then used with the \texttt{/Ff} key. Depending
% on the field type some flags must be set or unset, other are optional or are ignored.
% The flag name can be given in PDF spelling (\texttt{RadiosInUnison}),
% in lowercase (\texttt{radiosinunison}), and as number. |unsetFf| and its
% alias |unsetfieldflags|  know the special value |all| which clears all the fields.
%
% The list of flags are:
% |ReadOnly|, |Required|,
% |NoExport|, |Multiline|, |Password|,    |NoToggleToOff|, |Radio|, |Pushbotton|,
% |Combo|, |Edit|,   |Sort|, |FileSelect|,  |MultiSelect|, |DoNotSpellCheck|,

%
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{V}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |V| = \meta{various}
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets the value of the field. Its
% format varies depending on the field type, so typically
% commands for the various type will have to preprocess and sanitize it.
% The value given here is x-expanded and then added to the dictionary!
% See the descriptions of individual field types for further information.
% (Pushbuttons for example don't have a value).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{DV}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |DV| = \meta{various}
%  \end{syntax}
% The default value, to which the field reverts

% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{MaxLen}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |MaxLen| = \meta{integer}

% \begin{function}{Lock}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |MaxLen| = \meta{object name}
%  \end{syntax}
% Only relevant for signature fields. The value is an object name

% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{SV}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |SV| = \meta{object name}

% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{Opt}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |Opt| = \meta{object name}
%  \end{syntax}

% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{TI}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |TI| = \meta{integer}

% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{I}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |I| = \meta{object name}

% \end{function}
%
% The following four keys are used to add javascript (\enquote{ECMAScript}) code.
% The values are expanded. It is recommended to store

%
% \begin{function}{AA/K,keystroke}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |AA/K| = \meta{ECMAScript}\\
%   |keystroke| = \meta{ECMAScript}
%  \end{syntax}
% This adds a keystroke action to the

%  \begin{syntax}
%   |AA/C| = \meta{string (ECMAScript)}\\
%   |calculate| = \meta{string (ECMAScript)}
%  \end{syntax}
% This adds a calculate action to the
% additional action dictionary. It is quite unclear if such an action
% make sense for non-terminal fields.
% If an calculate action is used, the field will be added to the
% AcroForm/CO array to define the calculation order. The order can
% be controlled through the following key |sortkey|.
% \end{function}
%
%  \begin{function}{sortkey}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |sortkey| = \meta{string}
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets a sortkey for fields with calculate action.
% The sortkeys are sorted lexically with |\str_compare:nNnTF|.
% fields without sortkey will get an empty sortkey and so be at the begin,
% the order of fields with the same sortkey is not defined.
% The module only sorts fields created with the commands of this module, the
% sorting of fields created by \pkg{hyperref} is independent.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{DA}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |DA| = \meta{string}
%  \end{syntax}
% This contains instructions for the text in text fields.

%  \begin{syntax}
%   |Q| = |left|\verb"|"|center|\verb"|"|right|\\
%   |align| = |left|\verb"|"|center|\verb"|"|right|
%  \end{syntax}
% The justification of the text.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{DS,RV}

% as it is unclear if there are of any use.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{fieldID}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |fieldID| = \meta{field ID}\\
%  \end{syntax}
% \emph{For experts only!}
% This stores \meta{field ID} in an internal variable.
% The variable is not used by the basic commands,
% but by the commands to create the various field types.
% Check their documentation for use cases.

% \section{Annot keys}
%
% Table~\ref{tab:annotkeys} summarize the keys which can be used.
% A number of keys have alias names which are mentioned in the descriptions.
%
% \begin{table}
% \caption{Keys for field annotations}\label{tab:annotkeys}

%
% \end{tabular}
% \end{table}
%
% \begin{function}{width,height,depth}
% \begin{syntax}
% |width| = \meta{dim expression}\\
% |height| = \meta{dim expression}\\
% |depth| = \meta{dim expression}
% \end{syntax}
% These keys allow to set the dimensions of the annotation.
% The value should be a command that expands to a dimension expression. By default
% all values are zero.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{tag}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |tag| = |true|\verb+|+|false|
%  \end{syntax}
% This key is related to tagging and enables/disables the tagging.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{parent}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |parent| = \meta{field ID}\\
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets the parent. The value should be field ID of
% an already declared field.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{AP/N,appearance,AP/R,rollover-appearance,AP/D,down-appearance}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |AP/N| = \meta{appearance name}\\
%   |appearance| = \meta{appearance name}\\
%   |AP/R| = \meta{rollover appearance name}\\
%   |rollover-appearance| = \meta{rollover appearance name}\\
%   |AP/D| = \meta{down appearance name}\\
%   |down appearance| = \meta{down appearance name}\\
%  \end{syntax}
% This keys set the normal, rollover and down appearance. The names
% |appearance|, |rollover-appearance| and |down-appearance| are aliases.
% The value is by default a simple name of an appearance/form Xobject but
% modules like \pkg{l3pdffield-checkbox} change this to allow to add appearances for
% various states. So check the documentation for the various field types for the
% exact format of the value.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{AS}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |AS| = \meta{appearance state name}
%  \end{syntax}
% This key sets the default appearance state.
% The value is a name \emph{without} the starting slash
% (it is passed through |\pdf_name_from_unicode_e:n|),
% for checkbox for example |Yes|. If used it should typically have the same value
% as the V and DV key of the field.
% \end{function}
%
%\begin{function}{setannotflags,setF,unsetannotflags,unsetF}
%  \begin{syntax}
%   |setannotflags| = \meta{comma list of flags}\\
%   |setF| = \meta{comma list of flags}\\
%   |unsetannotflags| = |all| \verb"|" \meta{comma list of flags}\\
%   |unsetF| = |all| \verb"|" \meta{comma list of flags}
%  \end{syntax}
% These keys allow to set or unset the annot flags.  They expect a comma lists of
% flag names. Allowed names |Invisible|, |Hidden|,
%  |Print|, |NoZoom|,|NoRotate|, |NoView|, |ReadOnly|, |Locked|, |ToggleNoView|,
%  |LockedContents|, or the lowercase variants or numbers.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{AA/*}
%  \begin{syntax}
%  |AA/*| = \meta{ECMAScript}
%  \end{syntax}
% * should be one of |Fo|, |Bl|, |D|, |U|, |E|, |X|, |PO|, |PC|, |PV|, |PI|.
% Alias names for the first six keys are
% |onfocus|, |onblur|, |onmousedown|, |onmouseup|, |onenter|,  |onexit|.
% These keys adds then the respective key to the |/AA| dictionary
% of the field annotation object.
% Their value should be javascript code. The value is expanded but not escaped.
% It is recommended to
% store the code in a stream object and to use the object reference as value.
% The |/AA| dictionary
% is suppressed if a pdf/A standard is set.
%
% For example
% \begin{verbatim}
%    onenter={(app.alert('Hello');)}
% \end{verbatim}
% \end{function}
%
% The following keys add values to the  \emph{dynamic appearance dictionary}
% |MK| directory. This is only relevant for
% annotations with dynamic content, like e.g. textfields.
% The settings can also affect checkboxes and radio buttons if the (deprecated)
% |NeedAppearances| is set to true.
%
% The |MK| dictionary can also be added by using |\pdfannot_dict_put:nnn{Widget}{MK}{...}|
% but the two methods should not be mixed.
%
%  \begin{function}{MK/R,rotate}
%  \begin{syntax}
%  |MK/R| = |0| \verb"|" |90| \verb"|" |180| \verb"|" |270|\\
%  |rotate| = |0| \verb"|" |90| \verb"|" |180| \verb"|" |270|
%  \end{syntax}
% These rotates the content of the annotation.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{MK/BC,bordercolor}
%  \begin{syntax}
%  |MK/BC| = \meta{color expression} \verb"|" [\meta{model}]\Arg{values}\\
%  |bordercolor| = \meta{color expression} \verb"|" [\meta{model}]\Arg{values}
%  \end{syntax}
% These colors the border. Internally currently RGB is used.
% The colors used in
% \meta{color expression} must be known to the \pkg{l3color} commands.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{MK/BG,backgroundcolor}
%  \begin{syntax}
%  |MK/BG| = \meta{color expression} \verb"|" [\meta{model}]\Arg{values}\\
%  |backgroundcolor| = \meta{color expression} \verb"|" [\meta{model}]\Arg{values}
%  \end{syntax}
% These colors the background. Internally currently RGB is used.
% The colors used in
% \meta{color expression} must be known to the \pkg{l3color} commands.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{MK/CA,caption}
%  \begin{syntax}
%  |MK/CA| = \meta{string}\\
%  |caption| = \meta{string}
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets a text for the caption. \meta{string} is passed through \cs{pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN}
% and parentheses are added automatically. The font used seems to depend on
% the whims of the PDF reader: At least for checkboxes adobe reader quite insists to
% always use a symbol font and not a text font. It also shows always
% only one symbol, regardless how much one put in the string.
% hyperref uses the key names |checkboxsymbol| and
% |radiosymbol| for this setting.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{MK/RC,rollover-caption}
%  \begin{syntax}
%  |MK/RC| = \meta{string}\\
%  |rollover-caption| = \meta{string}
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets a text for the rollover-caption. \meta{string} is passed through \cs{pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN}
% and parentheses are added automatically. The key should be used only with
% pushbuttons. It is unclear if is actually used by the PDF viewer, but the
% pushbuttons modules uses the argument also to setup the appearance.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{MK/AC,down-caption}
%  \begin{syntax}
%  |MK/AC| = \meta{string}\\
%  |down-caption| = \meta{string}
%  \end{syntax}
% This sets a text for the down-caption.
% \meta{string} is passed through \cs{pdf_string_from_unicode:nnN}
% and parentheses are added automatically. The key should be used only with
% pushbuttons. It is unclear if is actually used by the PDF viewer, but the
% pushbuttons modules uses the argument also to setup the appearance.
% \end{function}
%
% The remaining key are like the two above useful for pushbuttons only.
% Currently no special syntax support
% is implemented. They will be handled if needed when the code for
% push buttons is developed and tested.
% \begin{function}{MK/I,MK/RI,MK/IX,MK/IF,MK/TP}
%  \begin{syntax}
%  |MK/*| = \meta{various}
%  \end{syntax}
% These keys adds the various entries in the \emph{dynamic appearance dictionary}.
% * should be one of  |I|, |RI|, |IX|, |IF|, |TP|.
% The |MK| dictionary can also be added by using |\pdfannot_dict_put:nnn{Widget}{MK}{...}|
% but the two methods should not be mixed.
