% \option*[default value]{option name}[accepted values]<hyperlink context>(link name)
% The \option command is slightly overloaded, both in terms of arguments
% (there are five) and in terms of use.
% 1. If #2 is given then \option gives the syntax for the using this key:
%    - #1=* determines whether a \newline or \bigskip is inserted. The
%      *-version is used when a block of keys are listed together
%    - #2 gives the default options
%    - #3 is the key name and optionally may take the form key=value
%      to describe the allowed values. If the value is given then it is
%      printed in orange after the key inside \langle...\rangle. This is
%      intended for "generic values like 'value' or 'style'.
%      The key component of #2 is used to add a hyperlink to the current
%      location, which takes the form Key:<key>-<context>, where the
%      <context> is added only if #5 is supplied
%    - any accepted values in #3 are printed in the right-hand margin
% 2. When #2 is omitted, this an inline citation of the key. A
% hyperlink is added

% The *-version does not do a \bigskip before the option. A hyperlink is
% added for new displayed options. If #2 is blank then the *-version
% puts (no) before the option key. If #5 is given then it is added to
% to the hyperlink.

 \section{Introduction}

 The package provides commands for drawing common objects in algebraic
 combinatorics and representation theory, together with styling options
 and a key-value interface for additional customization.  Under the
 hood, everything is drawn using \TikZ (and \LaTeX3).  These commands
 can be used either as standalone commands or as part of a
 \keyword{tikzpicture} environment.  This package started as code for
 drawing the diagrams that I need in my own research. It is written as
 flexibly as possible in the hope that it will draw the diagrams that
 others need.

 For the impatient, here is a basic example that shows how to use the
 two main commands provided by the \aTableau package:

 \begin{example}
   \Abacus{4}{4^3,2,1^2,0} \qquad
   \Tableau{1239,456{10},78}
 \end{example}

 If you already know what tableaux and abacuses are, then you can
 probably work out the (basic) syntax of these two commands from this
 example and start using the package. If you do not know what tableaux
 and abacuses are, then you probably don't need this package! In any
 case, you will not find the precise mathematical definitions of these
 objects in this manual, so please consult textbooks like
 \cite{Mathas:ULect,Macdonald} if you need them. For more advanced
 usage, such as adding styling, I recommend skimming through the
 manual, and looking at the many examples.  \autoref{S:keys} gives
 quick summary of all \aTableau commands and their options.

 The \aTableau commands are intended to be easy to use and easy to
 customise. For example, partitions can be entered either as a (weakly
 decreasing list of non-negative) integers, or using exponential
 notation, or as a sequence of beta numbers (for the \keyword{\Abacus}
 command), and tableaux are entered as comma-separated words. The
 commands support the main conventions for drawing tableaux and
 diagrams.

 By way of example, the following table shows how to draw a
 Young diagram of shape $\lambda=(4,3^2,2)$ using the four tableaux
 conventions supported by \aTableau:

 \begin{center}
     \aTabset{align=centre}
     \begin{longtable}{lp{0.6\textwidth}l} \toprule % longtable allows footnotes
       \textcolor{aTableauMain}{Convention} &\textcolor{aTableauMain}{\aTableau command} & \textcolor{aTableauMain}{Picture} \\ \midrule
         English    & \keyword{\Tableau[english]{1234,567,89{10},{11}{12}}}\newline(the default)
                    & \Tableau{1234,567,89{10},{11}{12}}\\[10mm]
         French     & \keyword{\Tableau[french]{1234,567,89{10},{11}{12}}}
                    & \Tableau[french]{1234,567,89{10},{11}{12}}\\[10mm]
         Ukrainian
         \footnote{Some authors call this the Russian convention. The \option{russian}(ukrainian) key may also be used.}

                    & \Tableau[ukrainian]{1234,567,89{10},{11}{12}}\\[10mm]
         Australian
         \footnote{I have not seen a name for this convention in the literature. Calling this the \textit{Australian convention} seems apt.}

 This table shows how the commands provided by \aTableau work: there
 are basic commands for drawing pictures, and these pictures can be
 embellished using optional arguments, which use a key-value interface.

 The different conventions for diagrams, and tableaux, are listed in
 order of (my perception of) their popularity in the literature.  By
 default, the \textit{English} convention is used, so we can omit
 \emph{english}:
 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.4\textwidth]
 \Tableau{1234,567,89{10},{11}{12}}
 \end{example}
 for the first tableau in the table. These four conventions are used
 in exactly the same way with the \keyword{\Diagram} command:
 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.4\textwidth]
 \Diagram{4,3,3,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[ukrainian]{4,3^2,1}
 \end{example}
 This example shows that partitions can either be typed out in full, as
 a comma-separated list of positive integers, or using exponential
 notation, which is usually shorter and easier to read.

 To use the package, add the following line to your document preamble:

 \indexcmd{usepackage}
 \begin{quote}
   \keyword{\usepackage[options]{atableau}}
 \end{quote}

 Here, the \textit{options} is an optional comma-separated list of
 \aTableau options, or keys. We describe the possible options below.
 For example, to make the tableaux and Young diagrams commands use the
 \option{French} convention, by default, you could write:

 \begin{quote}
   \keyword{\usepackage[french]{atableau}}
 \end{quote}

 You can change the default options at any point in your document using
 the \keyword{\aTabset} command, and you can change them for any
 diagram.
 \indexcmd{aTabset}

 Each of the \aTableau commands is designed to be easy to use, easy to read,
 and easy to customise. Each command accepts an optional list
 of key-value options that modify and embellish the diagrams. In addition, optional
 styling can be applied to entries of a tableau and the beads in an
 abacus.  Each command can be used as a standalone object in a
 document, or they can be incorporated into a larger
 \keyword{tikzpicture} environment, making it possible to use
 these commands to create more complicated pictures.

 The general syntax of an \aTableau command is:
 \begin{quote}
   \keyword{\Command (x,y) [options] {...specifications...}}
 \end{quote}

 \index{Cartesian coordinates}
 The $(x,y)$-Cartesian coordinates%
 \footnote{Currently, only Cartesian coordinates are supported. For
 example, it is not possible to use named or polar coordinates.}
 are optional, being necessary if (and only if), the diagram is part of
 a~\keyword{tikzpicture} environment. See \autoref{SS:coordinates} and
 \autoref{SS:abcoordinates} for more detail about how to use these coordinates
 for tableaux and abacuses, respectively.

 The key-value \emph{options}, or \emph{keys}, control the style and
 appearance of the final diagram. The keys are optional and are
 described in detail below, with examples. This section emphasises only
 some of these options together with the fact that every key can be set
 ``globally'' (inside the current \LaTeX\ group), by using
 \keyword{\aTabset{...options...}}, or ``locally'', for the current
 picture. As discussed already, the default options for the entire
 document can also be set via
 \keyword{\usepackage[options]{atableau}}.\indexcmd{aTabset}

 Many of the \aTableau options are specific to the particular diagrams
 being drawn. The full list of the \aTableau commands and their options
 is given in \autoref{S:keys}, with the following sections giving more
 details and many examples. The keys that are common to all
 \aTableau commands are:

 \begin{options}
   \item[align]\index{align}
   Sets the baseline for vertically aligning diagrams. The options
   are \keyword{align=top}, \keyword{align=center}, and
   \keyword{align=bottom}, which aligns the baseline of the diagram
   with the top, centre or bottom of the surrounding objects,
   respectively. By default, all \aTableau pictures are centered.

   \item[math entries, text entries]\index{math entries}\index{text entries}
   Determines whether tableaux entries, and bead labels, are typeset as
   mathematics or text.

   \item[name]\index{name}
   Set the prefix for the \TikZ \emph{named anchors} for the boxes and
   beads in \aTableau diagrams.

   \item[scale, xscale, yscale, script, scriptscript]
   \index{scale}\index{xscale}\index{yscale}\index{script}\index{scriptscript}
   Use \option{scale} to rescale all \aTableau diagrams. Use
   \option{xscale} to rescale in the $x$-direction and \option{yscale}
   to rescale in the $y$-direction. The \option{script} and
   \option{scriptscript} keys can be used to fine-tune the size of
   \aTableau commands when used as subscripts (rare) and subsubscripts
   (unlikely).

   \item[styles]\index{styles}
   A short-hand for defining single-use \TikZ-styles for the current
   picture.

   \item[tikzpicture]\index{tikzpicture}
   When used without Cartesian coordinates, all \aTableau commands are
   implicitly drawn inside a \keyword{tikzpicture} environment.  Use
   \option{tikzpicture=keys} to set the optional argument of this
   environment: \keyword{\begin{tikzpicture}[ keys ]...\end{tikzpicture}}.

   \item[tikz before, tikz after]\index{tikz before}\index{tikz after}
   Use the \option{tikz before} and \option{tikz after} keys to inject
   \TikZ code into the \keyword{tikzpicture} environment, before and
   after the picture drawn by \aTableau.

 \end{options}

 With boolean options, which are set to \textsf{true} or
 \textsf{false}, the value can typically be omitted. For example,
 \option{border} is equivalent to \option{border=true} and to
 \option{no border=false}. The \option{no border} key is inverse to
 \option{border}, so \option{no border} is equivalent to \option{no
 border=true}, and to \option{border=false}.

 \index{American dialect}
 For all keys, American spelling variations are tolerated. For example, you
 can use \emph{center} and \emph{color} instead of the correct
 spellings of \emph{centre} and \emph{colour}, respectively.

 \begin{warning}
   Unlike the egalitarian \aTableau settings, \TikZ-style settings
   \emph{do not} countenance English spelling of the English language!
 \end{warning}

 The next example contrasts using the \keyword{\Diagram} command both
 outside and inside a \keyword{tikzpicture} environment. More
 explicitly, the second \keyword{\Diagram} command has Cartesian
 coordinates because it is being used inside a \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment. Otherwise, these two \keyword{\Diagram} commands are
 identical, except that the second diagram is embellished with labels
 that are drawn by the other commands in the \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment.

 \begin{Example}
 % \usetikzlibrary{patterns}
 \tikzset{
   B/.style={pattern=north east lines, pattern color=blue},
   G/.style={pattern=north west lines, pattern color=ForestGreen},
 }
 \Diagram[ribbons={(G)16ccccrrr, (B)16crrcccr}]{6,5^2,2} % outside tikzpicture
 \qquad \qquad
 \begin{tikzpicture} % inside tikzpicture with labels
   \Diagram(0,0)[ribbons={(G)16ccccrrr, (B)16crrcccr}]{6,5^2,2}
   % add the labels
   \draw[->](1.5, 0.5)node[right]{$\alpha=(1,2)$} to [out=180,in=90]  (A-1-2.base);
   \draw[->](1.5,-2.5)node[right]{$f_\alpha=(4,2)$} to [out=180,in=270] (A-4-2.base);
   \draw[red,<->]([xshift=-1mm]A-1-1.south west)
      --node[rotate=90,above]{$l_\alpha=3$}([xshift=-1mm]A-4-1.south west);
 \end{tikzpicture}
 \end{Example}

 The first diagram shows that most of the right-hand diagram is drawn
 by the~\keyword{\Diagram} command, even though most of the commands in
 the example are \TikZ commands. In particular, the shading of the
 boxes in the \emph{$(1,2)$-hook}, and the \emph{$(1,2)$-rim hook}, is
 done by the \option{ribbons} key. (In fact, the right-hand picture
 could be drawn without using a \keyword{tikzpicture} environment by
 using the \option{tikz after} key to add the three
 \keyword{\draw}-commands.)

 \begin{warning}
    Unlike the \TikZ-commands, you should \emph{not} put a semicolon
    after an \aTableau-command when it is used inside a
    \keyword{tikzpicture} environment. If you accidentally add a
    semicolon then, most of the time it will not cause any harm and
    \TikZ will just give you a warning.
 \end{warning}

 The top of the last example defines two \TikZ-styles, \textsf{B} and
 \text{G}, which add the \textsf{b}lue and \textsf{g}reen coloured
 hatchings of the two hooks. Inside the \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment, the Young diagram is placed at position $(0,0)$ by the
 \keyword{\Diagram} command. The three \keyword{\draw} commands are
 used to add the three labelled arrows to the picture. Please consult
 the very readable \TikZ manual for more details on the \TikZ-commands
 in this example.

 From the viewpoint of \aTableau, the most important point of the last
 example is that the first \keyword{\Diagram} command is a standalone
 diagram, whereas the second one is part of a \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment because it was given the Cartesian coordinate $(0,0)$. The
 second important point is that this example uses four \emph{named
 coordinates}: (\textsf{A-1-1}), (\textsf{A-1-2}), (\textsf{A-4-1}),
 and (\textsf{A-4-2}). When \aTableau draws a tableau, or a diagram, it
 creates a \TikZ named coordinate (\textsf{A-r-c}) for every box in the
 diagram, where (\textsf{A-r-c}) is the box in row~\textsf{r} and
 column~\textsf{c}. These named coordinates, or anchors, are
 \textit{only} defined for the boxes in the tableau.  Giving finer
 control, the following standard \TikZ \textit{anchors} are available,
 depending on which tableaux convention you are using:

 \begin{equation}\label{E:NodeNames}
   \begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={font=\tiny, text=gray}]
       \Diagram(0,0)[scale=4]{1}
       \node[label={above:(A-r-c)}] at (A-1-1){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={above:(A-r-c.north)}] at (A-1-1.north){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={below:(A-r-c.south)}] at (A-1-1.south){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={right:(A-r-c.east)}] at (A-1-1.east){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={left:(A-r-c.west)}] at (A-1-1.west){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={above right:(A-r-c.north east)}] at (A-1-1.north east){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={above left:(A-r-c.north west)}] at (A-1-1.north west){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={below right:(A-r-c.south east)}] at (A-1-1.south east){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={below left:(A-r-c.south west)}] at (A-1-1.south west){$\color{red}\bullet$};
   \end{tikzpicture}
   \qquad
   \begin{tikzpicture}[every node/.style={font=\tiny, text=gray}]
       \Diagram(0,0)[ukrainian, scale=4]{1}
       \node[label={above:(A-r-c)}] at (A-1-1){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={above:(A-r-c.north)}] at (A-1-1.north){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={below:(A-r-c.south)}] at (A-1-1.south){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={right:(A-r-c.east)}] at (A-1-1.east){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={left:(A-r-c.west)}] at (A-1-1.west){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={above right:(A-r-c.north east)}] at (A-1-1.north east){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={above left:(A-r-c.north west)}] at (A-1-1.north west){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={below right:(A-r-c.south east)}] at (A-1-1.south east){$\color{red}\bullet$};
       \node[label={below left:(A-r-c.south west)}] at (A-1-1.south west){$\color{red}\bullet$};
   \end{tikzpicture}
 \end{equation}

 You can change the prefix \textsf{A} in these anchors using the
 \option{name} key. Similar anchors are created for abacus beads.
 These \textit{anchors} are a standard part of \TikZ.  If you change
 the shape of the node, then the available anchors may change; for more
 information see the \TikZ manual.

%  The previous example also shows that the \keyword{\Diagram} command
%  accepts a \option{ribbons} option, which adds one or more
%  \textit{ribbons} to the diagram. Both the ribbon and the individual
%  boxes in the ribbon can be given \TikZ styling; see
%  \autoref{S:RibbonTableaux}. All of the options to these commands are
%  described in the following sections.

 In the example above, the Cartesian coordinate $(0,0)$ is necessary
 because the \keyword{\Diagram} command is used inside a
 \keyword{tikzpicture} environment, but the choice of coordinate is not
 important in the sense that changing the coordinate will not change
 the picture. Cartesian coordinates become more meaningful when the
 \keyword{tikzpicture} environment has more components.  In the next
 example, the key \option{name=B} makes the named
 coordinates for the second diagram take the form (\textsf{B-r-c}),
 instead of the default node names (\textsf{A-r-c}), which are used in
 the first diagram. This allows us to draw (wavy) lines between boxes
 in the two tableaux.

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.14\textwidth, sidebyside gap=0mm,label={Ex:ABnames}]
 % \usetikzlibrary{decorations.pathmorphing}
 \begin{tikzpicture}[wave/.style={thick,red,->,decorate,decoration=snake}]
   \aTabset{ribbon style={fill=blue!20, opacity=0.4}}
   \Diagram(0,0)[e=2,entries=residues,ribbons={13crc}]{3,2}
   \Diagram(0,-2.5)[e=2,entries=residues,ribbons={12rcr},name=B]{2^2,1}
   \draw[wave]([shift={(0,-0.05)}]A-2-1.south east)
               --([shift={(0,0.05)}]B-1-1.north east);
 \end{tikzpicture}
 \end{example}

 In this example, the entries in the two tableaux were added by the key
 \option{entries=residues}, which automatically puts the
 \option{e}-residue into each of the boxes in the two tableaux. The
 shading is done by the \option{ribbons} commands.  Notice that
 \option{ribbon style}, which sets the \TikZ-style of the ribbons,
 includes \keyword{opacity=0.4}.  This necessary because the ribbons
 are drawn \textit{after} the tableau entries; see \autoref{SS:order}.
 Alternatively, these tableau entries could be included in the ribbon
 specifications, as described in \autoref{S:RibbonTableaux}.

 The final example in the introduction uses \keyword{\ShiftedTableau}
 inside a \emph{matrix of nodes}:

 \begin{Example}
 % \usetikzlibrary{matrix}
 \begin{tikzpicture}[scale=0.8, arr/.style={->,SteelBlue, thick}]
   \matrix (M)[matrix of nodes,row sep=4mm,column sep=4mm]{
       &    &    & \ShiftedTableau{1234,567} \\
       &    & \ShiftedTableau{1235,467}
       &    & \ShiftedTableau{1243,567}\\
       & \ShiftedTableau{1236,457}
       &    & \ShiftedTableau{1245,367}
       &    & \ShiftedTableau{1253,467}\\
     \ShiftedTableau{1237,456}
       &    & \ShiftedTableau{1246,357}
       &    & \ShiftedTableau{1254,367}\\
       & \ShiftedTableau{1247,356}\\
    };
    \draw[arr](M-1-4)--node[above]{$\sigma_4$}(M-2-3);
    \draw[arr](M-1-4)--node[above]{$\sigma_3$}(M-2-5);
    \draw[arr](M-2-3)--node[above]{$\sigma_5$}(M-3-2);
    \draw[arr](M-2-3)--node[above]{$\sigma_3$}(M-3-4);
    \draw[arr](M-2-5)--node[above]{$\sigma_4$}(M-3-6);
    \draw[arr](M-3-2)--node[above]{$\sigma_6$}(M-4-1);
    \draw[arr](M-3-2)--node[above]{$\sigma_3$}(M-4-3);
    \draw[arr](M-3-4)--node[above]{$\sigma_5$}(M-4-3);
    \draw[arr](M-3-4)--node[above]{$\sigma_4$}(M-4-5);
    \draw[arr](M-3-6)--node[above]{$\sigma_3$}(M-4-5);
    \draw[arr](M-4-1)--node[above]{$\sigma_3$}(M-5-2);
    \draw[arr](M-4-3)--node[above]{$\sigma_6$}(M-5-2);
 \end{tikzpicture}
 \end{Example}

 Notice that even though the \keyword{\SkewTableau} commands are being
 used inside a \keyword{tikzpicture} environment they do not need
 coordinates because the skew tableaux are being placed by the \TikZ
 \keyword{\matrix} command. That is, the \keyword{\SkewTableau}
 commands are not explicit components of the \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment as hey are all (implicitly) inside \TikZ-nodes.

 The following sections describe the commands defined by the \aTableau
 package and how to use them.  We start with the \keyword{\Tableau}
 command because all of the diagram and tableau commands, except for
 \keyword{\RibbonTableau}, are derived from \keyword{\Tableau}.


 \begin{warning}
   The \aTableau package relies heavily on \ctan{LaTeX3}, so it
   requires an update-to-date version of \LaTeX. You may need to update
   your \LaTeX\ installation if it is older than \TeX Live 2024.
 \end{warning}

 \section{Tableaux and Young diagrams}

   \emph{Partitions} are weakly decreasing sequences of non-negative
   integers. They are fundamental objects in algebraic combinatorics
   and representation theory.\index{partition}  Rather than working
   with sequences of integers, it is often useful to visualise
   partitions as Young \emph{diagrams}, which are arrays of
   \emph{boxes}, or \emph{nodes}, in the plane\footnote{In this manual,
   we normally refer to the entries of tableaux and diagrams as
   \textit{boxes}, rather than \textit{nodes}. This is to avoid any
   ambiguity with \TikZ-nodes.}. A \emph{tableau} is a (Young) diagram
   where the boxes are labelled using some alphabet. Equivalently, a
   diagram is a tableau with empty labels.
   \index{young diagram@Young diagram|see{diagram}}
   \index{diagram}
   \index{tableau}
   \index{box}
   \index{node}
   \index{node|see{box}}
   \index{exponential notation}
   \index{partition!exponential notation}

   For example, $\lambda=(4,3,3,2,0,0,\dots)$ is a partition of $12$,
   since the entries sum to~$12$. It is customary to omit the zeros
   when writing partitions and to use exponents for repeated parts, so
   we can write this partition in \emph{exponential notation} as
   $\lambda=(4,3^2,2)$. Many authors identity a
   partition~$\lambda=(\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\dots)$ with its
   \emph{diagram}, which is the set $[\lambda] = \set{(r,c)|1\le
   c\le\lambda_r\text{ for }r\ge1}$.  When using the \emph{English
   convention}, the diagram of~$\lambda$ is visualised as a left
   justified array of boxes in the plane, where the first row has~$4$
   boxes, the next two lower rows have~$3$ boxes and the last row
   has~$2$ boxes. The \emph{shape} of a diagram is the partition that
   gives the number of boxes in each row. Diagrams and tableaux drawn
   using the \emph{French} convention are given by reflecting in a
   horizontal line above the diagrams, whereas the \emph{Ukrainian} and
   \emph{Australian} conventions are given by appropriately rotating
   these diagrams. All of these conventions are used in the literature,
   with some papers using more than one convention.

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
   \subsection{Tableaux}
   \indexcmd{Tableau}
   \label{S:Tableau}
   This section describes the \keyword{\Tableau} command, which draws
   tableaux or labelled diagrams. The syntax of this command is:

   \keyword{\Tableau (x,y) [options] {tableau entries}}

   where:

   \begin{options}
     \item[*$(x,y)$]\index{xy@$(x,y)$} The Cartesian coordinates $(x,y)$
     are needed if, and only if, the tableau is a component of a
     \keyword{tikzpicture} environment.
     \item[*options] Optional arguments. Described, with examples, below.
     \item[*tableau entries]\index{tableau entries} The
     \keyword{tableau entries} are given as a comma-separated list, with commas
     separating rows and each \textit{token}, or braced-group of
     tokens, being in a separate column. As we explain below, each
     tableau entry can be prefixed by (optional) \TikZ-styling
     specifications.
   \end{options}

   We show by example how to use the \keyword{\Tableau} command,
   starting with basic usage and finishing with style. Inside
   \keyword{\Tableau}\!, the rows are separated by commas, with the
   columns given by the ``letters'' in the word for each row:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau{ 1234, 56, 7, 8 }       \qquad
 \Tableau{ \alpha\gamma\delta q,
           xy\eta,
           \lambda\mu,
           \pi\sum }
 \end{example}

 The tableau specifications can be put on a single line, without any
 spaces. Alternatively, as shown here, spaces and line breaks can be
 added to improve readability. The one restriction is that you cannot
 have blank lines inside a \keyword{\Tableau} command. As this example
 suggests, by default, the entries in a tableau are typeset in
 mathematics-mode, but this can be changed using the
 \option{text entries} key, which is described below.

 As the examples above show, the tableau entries can be individual
 characters, or they can be \TeX\ commands. Tableaux frequently contain
 entries that are not single characters, or given by commands. Such
 entries can be added to a tableau by enclosing them in braces:

 \begin{example}
   \Tableau{ 13{10}{11}{2x}, 2{x^2}, {r_1} }
 \end{example}

 % There is one additional caveat for braced-entries: any
 % \textit{singleton} braced entry \keyword{{...}} in a row needs to be
 % \textit{double-braced}. Double-bracing is only necessary when you have
 % a row that has only one column, and you have a multi-letter column
 % entry. The need for double-bracing is a consequence of how \LaTeX3
 % detects braced commas in comma-separated lists.
 % \index{tableau entries!double-braced}
 % \index{double-braced}

 % The following example shows the difference between single and
 % double-bracing for tableau entries.
 % \index{tableau entries!double-braced}

 % \begin{example}
 % \Tableau{ 1345, 8{10}, {11}, {12} } \qquad
 % \Tableau{ 1345, 8{10}, {{11}}, {{12}} }
 % \end{example}

 % The $10$'s in these tableaux do not need to be doubled-braced because
 % they appear in a row of length~$2$, whichi s greater than~$1$!. In
 % contrast,  because they are not doubled-braced, the~$11$ and~$12$ in
 % the first tableau are both treated as being two characters in
 % different columns in the first tableau. In the second tableau,
 % the~$11$ and~$12$ each appear in a separate column because they are
 % double-braced.

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsubsection{Adding style}
 \index{star}
 \index{*|see{star}}
 \index{tableau entries!style}
 \index{tableau entries!star}

 The \aTableau package provides several different ways to add \TikZ
 style specifications to the boxes in diagrams and tableaux.  This is
 done by adding style prefixes to the tableau entries.  To take
 advantage of these styles you need to have at least rudimentary
 knowledge of \TikZ-styling. The examples in this manual might be
 enough to get you started as they give a good indication of what is
 possible.  For anything more exotic, please consult the \TikZ manual.

 The simplest way to change the style of an entry in a tableau is to
 add a $*$-prefix to the entry:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau{ 1*2*3*4*5, 6*789, {10}*{11}{12}, {13} }
 \end{example}

 In this tableau, there is an asterisk before each of the entries $2$,
 $3$, $4$, $5$ and $8$, which gives the corresponding boxes the
 \option{star style}. The $*$-entries are given the
 \TikZ-styling, which is  \keyword{fill=}\aTableauColour{StarStyle} by default. You can
 change the default $*$-style using the \option{star style} key:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[star style={fill=red!20,draw=red,thick}]
         { 1*2*3*4*5, 6*789, {10}*{11}{12}, {13} }
 \end{example}

 Note that the $*$-styling overrides the default styling of the
 surrounding boxes. This is because the boxes with the default styling
 are placed first, in the order that they are entered, after which the
 boxes with custom styles are placed.

 The $*$-syntax is a quick shorthand for adding emphasis to some boxes
 in a tableau, but all of the $*$-entries are given the same style.
 It is possible to give every box in the tableau different styles by
 putting \TikZ-styling specifications inside square brackets,
 \keyword{[...]}, before the corresponding letter in the tableau
 specification.  You can mix the $*$-syntax and the
 \keyword{[...]}-style syntax for different entries, although only one
 of these style settings can be applied to any given box.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[french]{
     1 [blue!20]2 [circle]3 [red]4 [cyan]5,
     6 *7 8 9,
     {10} *{11} {12},
     {13} }
 \end{example}

 It is not necessary to add spaces between the entries in the way that
 this example does. This is done only to make it clearer how the
 style specifications are applied to the different entries in the tableau.

 Omitting some technicalities, each box in a tableau is constructed as
 a \TikZ node, so any \TikZ-styling specifications for a node can be
 used.  This example shows that some care is needed when changing the
 style because simply giving a colour changes both the colour used to
 \textit{fill} the box and the \textit{text colour}, which is why some
 of tableau entries in the last example appear to be blank.  If you are
 already familiar with \TikZ then you probably already know what to do.
 If not, then here is a short list of useful style specifications for
 \TikZ nodes:
 \begin{center}\index{fill}\index{text}\index{draw}\index{font}
    \begin{tabular}{ll}\toprule
      Style & Meaning \\\midrule
      \keyword{draw}$=\langle\text{colour}\rangle$
           & Sets the boundary colour of the node\\
      \keyword{fill}$=\langle\text{colour}\rangle$
           & Sets the fill, or background, colour of the node\\
      \keyword{font}$=\langle\text{font commands}\rangle$
           & Sets the font \\
      \keyword{opacity}$=\langle\text{value}\rangle$
           & Sets both the drawing and filling opacity to $=\langle\text{value}\rangle$\\
      \keyword{text}$=\langle\text{colour}\rangle$
           & Sets the text colour in the node \\
      \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
 \end{center}
 In the style settings, any valid \LaTeX\ colour name can be used; see, for
 example, the \ctan{xcolor} manual. In addition, the style specifications
 \keyword{thin}\!,
 \keyword{thick}\!,
 \keyword{very thick}\!,
 \keyword{ultra thick}\!,
 \keyword{dashed}\!,
 \keyword{dotted}\!, $\dots$.
 change the border thickness, and its properties.
 \autoref{SS:TableauOptions} below describes how to use these options
 to customise the tableau style.

 If you want to apply ``complicated'' style settings, such as
 \keyword{draw=cyan,ultra thick}, which consists of a comma-separated
 list of $\TikZ-$style settings, then the entire style must be put
 inside matching square brackets and curly braces \keyword{[{...}]}.
 This is necessary to ensure that  \LaTeX\ does not get confused by the
 commas in the style setting (since commas are also used to separate
 the rows of the tableau).

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[australian]{
     1 [fill=blue!20]2 3 [text=red]4 5,
     [{circle,fill=orange}]6 *7 8 9,
     [{draw=cyan,ultra thick}]{10} *{11} {12},
     [{dashed,draw=red,ultra thick}]{13} }
 \end{example}

 % The last example shows that it is not necessary to double-brace
 % singleton entries when they have a style specification.

 This example shows that modifying the borders of a box is problematic
 because boxes placed later are likely to overwrite the new border
 style (see \autoref{SS:order}). As a result, modifying the borders of
 the boxes is often not a good way to add emphasis to a tableau,  so
 use this sparingly. In addition, the orange circle in this example
 looks too big, but it is what we asked for because the diameter of the
 circle is the horizontal width of the box. The next example shows that
 we get a better result with \textit{minimum size} specification when
 using the \textit{Australian} and \textit{Ukrainian} conventions  for
 tableaux.

 For complex or frequently used styles, we recommend using the
 \keyword{\tikzset} command to define the style outside of the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command. This makes your code both easier to read
 and easier to change. If you need to define a style for a single
 picture, then you can also use the \option{styles} key.

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.3\textwidth]
 \tikzset{
    B/.style={fill=blue!40, text=yellow},
    G/.style={fill=green!80!blue,circle,minimum size=5mm},
    R/.style={fill=red,text=white, font=\tiny},
    Y/.style={fill=yellow!20, text=blue}
 }
 \Tableau[french]{[R]1[B]2,[G]3,[Y]4} \quad
 \Tableau[ukrainian]{[R]1[B]2,[G]3,[Y]4} \newline
 \Tableau[english]{[R]1[B]2,[G]3,[Y]4} \quad
 \Tableau[australian]{[R]1[B]2,[G]3,[Y]4}
 \end{example}

 In this example, the \TikZ-styles \textsf{B}, \textsf{G} \textsf{R},
 and \textsf{Y} are applied to the tableaux entries labelled $1$, $2$,
 $3$, and $4$, respectively. Note the use of \emph{minimum size} to
 control the size of the circle. The colours used here, and throughout
 this manual, are for demonstration purposes only. I recommend against
 such garish choices in any self-respecting document!

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsubsection{Tableau coordinates}\label{SS:coordinates}
 \index{xy@$(x,y)$}
 \index{Cartesian coordinates!tableau}

 The $(x,y)$-coordinates are required if, and only if, the
 \keyword{\Tableau}command is used inside a \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment, in which case $(x,y)$ gives the coordinates of the
 ``outside corner'' of the box in row~$1$ and column~$1$ of the
 tableau. The following example shows how tableaux are placed using
 $(x,y)$-coordinates inside a \keyword{tikzpicture} environment. The example
 also shows that, by default, the tableau boxes are square and half a unit wide.

 \tikzset{
   add grid/.code = {
     % draw coordinate axes
     \draw[help lines, step=0.5,thin, LightGrey](-0.5,-1.5) grid (4,2.5);
     \draw[help lines, step=1,thin, Grey](-0.5,-1.5) grid (4,2.5);
     \foreach \pt in {0,...,3} {
       \node[below,font=\tiny] at (\pt,-1.5){$\pt$};
     }
     \foreach \pt in {-1,...,2} {
       \node[left, font=\tiny] at (-0.5,\pt){$\pt$};
     }
   }
 }

 \begin{example}
 \begin{tikzpicture}[add grid]
   \Tableau(0,0)    [english]   {123,45}
   \Tableau(0,0.5)  [french]    {123,45}
   \Tableau(2.5,0.5)[ukrainian] {123,45}
   \Tableau(2.5,0)  [australian]{123,45}
 \end{tikzpicture}
 \end{example}

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsubsection{Tableau keys}
 \label{SS:TableauOptions}

 The optional $*$-styles and $[\ldots]$-styles are the main mechanism
 for styling the individual boxes in a tableau. Using a key-value
 syntax, you can change aspects of the tableau produced by the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command.  The rest of this section describes these
 keys, their default values, and gives examples of how to use them.

 The options below can be applied to the \keyword{\Tableau}
 command by giving them as a comma-separated list inside square
 brackets:
 \begin{center}
   \keyword{\Tableau [options] {tableau entries}}\quad or \quad
   \keyword{\Tableau (x,y) [options] {tableau entries}}.
 \end{center}
 The options can appear in any order, with later options having
 precedence over earlier ones.

 When used inside a \keyword{\Tableau} command, the options only affect
 that particular tableau. Most of these options, or keys, can also be
 used in the \keyword{\aTabset} command, to change the default settings
 of all tableaux in the same \LaTeX\ group, or as optional arguments in
 \keyword{\usepackage[..]{atableau}}, to change the default settings
 for the entire document.  For example, if you put the command
 \keyword{\aTabset[ukrainian]} in the preamble of your document then,
 by default, all subsequent tableaux and Young diagrams will be drawn
 using the Ukrainian convention.

 \option[-]{english}
 \option*[]{french}
 \option*[]{ukrainian}
 \option*[]{australian}

 These four (mutually exclusive) options change the convention, or
 orientation, that is used when drawing the tableaux. Rather than
 defining these conventions precisely, we use the tired and true method
 in combinatorics of defining by example.

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.3\textwidth]
 \Tableau[ukrainian, styles={R={fill=red!20,draw=red}}]
   {12[R]3,45}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.3\textwidth]
 \tikzset{R/.style={fill=red!20, circle, draw=red, ultra thick}}
 \Tableau[french]{12[R]3,45}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.3\textwidth]
 \tikzset{B/.style={fill=blue!20, dashed, thick}}
 \Tableau[english]{12[B]3,45}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.3\textwidth]
 \Tableau[australian, styles={B={fill=blue!20, text=white}}]
   {12[B]3,45}
 \end{example}

 Changing the convention sets the \option{box height} and \option{box
 width}, relative to the current \option{scale}. If you want to use a
 custom box height and box width, then you need to set them
 \emph{after} specifying the convention.

 By default, the \option{english} convention is used to draw tableaux
 and Young diagrams. The default convention can be changed using
 \keyword{\aTabset}. Capitalised names, \keyword{Australian}\!,
 \keyword{English}\!, \keyword{French} and \keyword{Ukrainian}\!, are also
 recognised. If, for example, your document is only going to draw
 \option{french} tableaux and diagrams, then you can specify this when
 you load the package using \keyword{\usepackage[french]{atableau}}\!,
 or by adding \keyword{\aTabset{french}} to your document preamble.

 \option[centre]{align=value}[centre/bottom/top]

 By default, the baseline of a tableau is its centre. This can be
 changed using the \option{align} key.

 \begin{example}
   % the default
   Some \Tableau[align=centre]{124,357,68} words
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
   Some \Tableau[align=top]{124,357,68} words
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
  Some \Tableau[align=bottom]{124,357,68} words
 \end{example}

 Similarly, use \option{align} to control how tableaux are aligned
 in displayed equations.

 \begin{example}
   \aTabset{align=bottom}
   \Tableau{124,357,68}\qquad
   \Tableau{124,35}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
   % by default: align=centre
   \Tableau{124,357,68}\qquad
   \Tableau{124,35}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
   \aTabset{align=top}
   \Tableau{124,357,68}\qquad
   \Tableau{124,35}
 \end{example}

 \option[true]{border}[true/false] \newline
 \option[false]{no border}[false/true]

 The \option{border} and \option{no border} keys enable and disable The
 \option{no border} key is inverse to \option{border}, so \option{no
 border} is equivalent to \option{no border=true}the drawing of the
 (thick) border wall around a tableau.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[ukrainian, border=false]{123,455,674} \qquad
 \Tableau[french, no border]{123,455,674} \qquad
 \end{example}

 \option[\aTableauColour{Main}]{border colour=colour}[a \LaTeX~colour]
 \option*[thick, line~cap=rect]{border style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 The \option{border colour} option sets the colour of the border wall,
 whereas \option{border style} sets the \TikZ-styling of the border wall.
 (So, \option{border style} can override \option{border colour}.)

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[ukrainian, border colour=red]{123,455,674} \qquad
 \Tableau[french, border style={dashed,orange}]{123,455}
 \end{example}

 The \option{border style} key \emph{appends} any \TikZ-styles to the
 current styling of the wall.

 % nodes
 \option[none]{box fill=colour}[a \LaTeX~colour]

 The \option{box fill} option sets the background colour of a box in a
 tableau, which is used in exactly the same way as the \textsf{fill} key for a \TikZ-node. If you use
 a dark fill colour, then you will almost certainly want to change the
 text colour using the \option{box text} key -- and you may also want to
 change the colours of the border walls and inner walls using
 \option{border colour} and \option{inner wall}, respectively.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[box fill=blue, box text=yellow]{123,455,674} \qquad
 \Tableau[box fill=red!10]{123,455}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{box font=font command}[\LaTeX\ font command]

 The \option{box font} key sets the font used to type the entries of a
 tableau.  By default, tableau entries are typeset as mathematics, so
 this is mainly useful for changing the font size (because, for example
 \keyword{\bfseries $1$} does not make the $1$ bold). It is only when
 you are using \option{text entries} that font commands like
 \keyword{\itshape} and \keyword{\bfseries} will have any effect.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[box font=\tiny]{123,455,674} \qquad
 \Tableau[text entries, box font=\bfseries]{123,455}
 \end{example}

 \option[0.5]{box height=number}[a decimal giving the height in \unit{cm}]
 \option*[0.5]{box width=number}[a decimal giving the width in \unit{cm}]

 Sets the width and height of the boxes in the tableau. The default
 height and width of the boxes is \qty{0.5}{cm} when using the
 \option{english} and \option{french} conventions and
 \qty{0.7012}{cm}, which is approximately $1/\sqrt{2}$\unit{cm}, when
 using the \option{ukrainian} and \option{australian} conventions. (In
 all cases, the default side length of the boxes is \qty{0.5}{cm}.)

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{align=top}
 \Tableau[box height=0.8]{123,455,674} \qquad
 \Tableau[box width=0.2, ukrainian]{123,455}
 \end{example}

 The \option{box height} and \option{box width} keys need to be set
 \emph{after} changing the tableau convention using
 \option{australian}, \option{english}, \option{french}, or
 \option{ukrainian} because the conventions change the height and width
 of the tableau boxes (and later conventions override earlier ones). In
 particular, in the last example, \option{box width=0.2} has no effect
 because following \option{ukrainian} key sets the box width to
 \qty{0.7012}{cm}.

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{align=top}
 \Tableau[box height=0.3]{123,455,674} \qquad
 \Tableau[ukrainian, box width=0.3]{123,455}
 \end{example}

 See also the \option{scale}, \option{xscale} and \option{yscale}
 options.

 \option[\aTableauColour{Main}]{box text=colour}[a \LaTeX~colour]

 As for a \TikZ-nodes, use \option{box text} to set the default text
 colour for the entries of the tableau boxes.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[box text=red]{123,45} \qquad
 \Tableau[box text=blue, french]{123,45}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{box style=style}[\TikZ~styling]

 All of the preceding keys for tableau boxes can be overridden by using
 \option{box style} to set the style of the tableau boxes directly.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[box style={text=red, draw=orange,shape=circle}]{123,45} \qquad
 \Tableau[box style={font=\small}, french]{123,45}
 \end{example}

 \option[false]{conjugate}[false/true]

 Draws the \emph{conjugate} tableau, where the rows and columns are
 swapped.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau{123,45,67}    \qquad
 \Tableau[conjugate]{123,45,67}
 \end{example}

 \option[centre]{halign=value}[centre, left, right]
 \option*[centre]{valign=value}[bottom, centre, top]

 By default, the entries in tableaux are centered, both horizontally
 and vertically, and it is your responsibility to ensure that the
 entries fit inside the tableau boxes (you can change the box
 dimensions using the \option{box height}, \option{box width} and
 \option{scale} keys). The \option{halign} and \option{valign} keys
 provide a crude way to change the horizontal and vertical alignment of
 the box entries.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[halign=left]{1{11}{11},{11}1} \quad
 \Tableau[halign=centre]{1{11}{11},{11}1} \quad
 \Tableau[halign=right]{1{11}{11},{11}1}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[valign=bottom]{qf,gpt,jb} \quad
 \Tableau[valign=centre]{qf,gpt,jb} \quad
 \Tableau[valign=top]{qf,gpt,jb}
 \end{example}

 These keys are provided for completeness only. We recommend not using them!

 \option[\aTableauColour{Inner}]{inner wall=colour}[\LaTeX~colour]
 \option*[thin, line cap=rect]{inner style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 The \option{inner wall} option sets the colour of the inner wall,
 whereas \option{inner style} sets the \TikZ-styling of the inner wall.
 (In particular, \option{inner style} can be used to override
 \option{inner wall}.)

 \begin{example}[label=Ex:dashed]
 \Tableau[australian, inner wall=red]{123,455,674} \qquad
 \Tableau[inner style=dashed]{123,455}
 \end{example}


 \index{dashed}
 \index{style!dashed}
 If you look closely at the second tableau in \autoref{Ex:dashed}, you will
 notice that the dashes are not very clean. This is because, for
 example, the dashes on bottom of one box do not properly match up with
 the dashes on the top of the adjacent box below it. Rather than
 using \option{inner style=dashes} it is better to use something like
 \option{inner style=\{dash pattern=on 1pt off 2pt\}}.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[inner style={dash pattern=on 1pt off 2pt}]
   {123,455}
 \end{example}

 You can use \option{inner wall=none}, to remove the inner tableau walls. Alternatively, use \option{no boxes}.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[ukrainian, inner wall=none]{123,45,67} \qquad
 \Tableau[ukrainian, no boxes]{123,45,67}
 \end{example}

 \option[none]{label=text}[any character/text]
 \option*[font=\textbackslash scriptsize, text=\aTableauColour{Inner}]{label style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 The \option{label} key adds a label to a tableau next to the
 $(1,1)$-box. The style of the label can
 be changed using the \option{label style} key.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[ukrainian, label={\mathtt{t}}]{13,25,4} \quad
 \Tableau[french, label=0, label style={red}]{13,5} \quad
 \Tableau[label style={draw=orange,circle, inner sep=0pt,
   minimum size=2mm}, label=1] {12,35,5}
 \end{example}

 Like tableau entries, \option{label} is typeset as mathematics by default .

 \option[true]{math entries}[true/false]
 \option*[false]{text entries}[true/false]

 Use the \option{math entries} and \option{text entries} keys to have
 the tableau entries typeset as either mathematics or text,
 respectively. By default, the entries of a tableau are typeset as
 mathematics.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[math entries]{ABCD, efg, HI}\qquad% the default
 \Tableau[text entries]{ABCD, efg, HI}
 \end{example}

 \option[A]{name=text}[string]

 By default, the boxes can be referenced using the node names
 \textsf{(A-1-1)}, \textsf{(A-1-2)}, \textsf{(A-1-3)}, \dots, with
 \textsf{(A-$r$-$c$)} referring to the box in row~$r$ and column~$c$.
 Use \option{name} to change the \emph{prefix} \textsf{A} to
 anything else that you like.  This feature is most useful when you
 have several tableaux inside a \keyword{tikzpicture} environment
 because by using \option{name} you can refer to boxes in the different
 diagrams. If you only have one tableau, then you would not normally
 need to change the default prefix for the node names. See
 \autoref{E:NodeNames} for a description of the extended anchor names.
 For examples using node names and anchors see \autoref{Ex:ABnames},
 \autoref{Ex:pointing} and \autoref{Ex:waves}.

 \option[]{paths=path specifications}[list of paths]
 \option*[]{path style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 Use the \option{paths} key to add a comma-separated list of
 \emph{ribbon paths} to the tableau. This allows you to draw certain
 types of paths inside your tableaux and diagrams.

 Ribbon paths are specified using the \keyword{\RibbonTableau} syntax,
 where you first specify the row and column indices of the \emph{head}
 of the ribbon, which is the unique node of maximal content in the
 ribbon, and then give a sequence of \textsf{r}'s and \textsf{c}'s
 depending on whether the row index increases, or the column index
 decreases, respectively.  As always, you have the option of adding
 style --- and you can also specify the contents of each box in the
 ribbon.  For more details about the ribbon specifications, with
 examples, see \autoref{S:RibbonTableaux}, which describes the
 \keyword{\RibbonTableau} command.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[styles={R={red,thick}, C={cyan,thick}},
    paths={(R)14ccrc,(C)23rcc}]{1234,567,89{10}}
 \end{example}

 The \option{path style} key changes the default style of the path:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[styles={R={red,thick}, C={cyan,thick}},
    paths={(R)14ccrc,(C)23rcc},
    path style={rounded corners}]{1234,567,89{10}}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{path box=text}[a node entry]
 \option*[]{path box style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 The \option{path box} sets the default entry for every box on a path.
 The \option{path box} is only used if you have not specified a box
 entry as a subscript in the path/ribbon specification.  This key is
 useful if you want to mark all of the boxes in every path with the
 same symbol.

 \begin{example}
 \tikzset{R/.style={red,thick},C/.style={cyan,thick}}
 \Tableau[paths={(R)14ccrc,(C)23rcc},
   path box=\bullet
 ]{1234,567,89{10}}
 \end{example}

 Use \option{path box style} to change the style of the boxes in
 the path.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[styles={R={red,thick}, C={cyan,thick}},
   paths={(R)14ccrc,(C)23rcc},
   path box style={draw,circle, minimum size=4mm}
 ]{1234,567,89{10}}
 \end{example}

 By combining \option{path box style} and \option{path style}, you can
 ``decorate'' the boxes on a path.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[styles={R={red,thick}, C={cyan,thick}},
   paths={(R)14ccrc,(C)23rcc},
   path box style={draw,circle, minimum size=4mm},
   path style={draw=none},
 ]{1234,567,89{10}}
 \end{example}

 Another way to do this is to change the style of the individual paths,
 which gives more control because different paths can be given
 different styling.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[styles={R={draw=none,text=red,thick},
                  C={cyan,thick}},
   paths={(R)14ccrc,(C)23rcc},
   path box style={draw,circle, minimum size=4mm},
 ]{1234,567,89{10}}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{ribbons=ribbon specifications}[list of ribbons]
 \option*[draw=\aTableauColour{Inner}, thin]{ribbon style=style}[\TikZ-styling]
 \option*[]{ribbon box=text}[A node entry]
 \option*[]{ribbon box style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 Use the \option{ribbons} key to add a comma-separated list of
 \emph{ribbons} to a tableau.  The ribbon specifications are identical
 to those used for \option{paths}.  For more details see
 \autoref{S:RibbonTableaux}, which describes the
 \keyword{\RibbonTableau} command.

 The \option{ribbons} key works in almost exactly the same way
 as the \option{paths} key, with the difference being that we are
 adding ribbons to the tableau rather than lines. The
 \option{ribbon style} key controls the default ribbon style. The
 \option{ribbon box} and \option{ribbon box style} keys work in the
 same way as \option{path box} and \option{path box style},
 respectively.

 \TikZ-styling can be added to ribbons using \option{ribbon style} and
 \option{ribbon box style}. The \option{ribbon style} changes the
 default style of the entire ribbon, whereas \option{ribbon box style}
 changes the default style of the individual boxes in the ribbon.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[ribbon style={fill=blue!20,opacity=0.4},
   ribbons={22rc}]{123,45,67}
 \end{example}

 Use \option{ribbon box style} to change the default style of the
 boxes in a ribbon. For example, noting that a box is a ribbon of
 length~$1$, the following code uses ribbons of length one (that is,
 nodes), to highlight the addable nodes of this tableau.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[star style={fill=green!80!blue,text=white},
   ribbon style={fill=yellow,text=red},
   ribbons={15_A,24_B,42_C,51_D},
 ]{123*4,567,89*{10},*{11}}
 \end{example}

 As this example indicates, ribbons are assumed to be contained inside
 the diagram of the tableau, so they do not change the border of a
 tableau.

 \option[]{snobs=snob specifications}[list snobs]
 \option*[draw=\aTableauColour{Inner}, thin]{snob style=style}[\TikZ-styling]
 \option*[]{snob box=text}[A node entry]
 \option*[]{snob box style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 Use \option{snobs} to add ribbons to the tableau, which are ribbons
 that are placed \textit{after} the border of the diagram is drawn.
 (Writing \textit{ribbons} backwards gives \textit{snob}bir.) The
 \option{snob style} key controls the default style of snobs.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[star style={fill=green!80!blue, text=white},
   snob style={fill=yellow, text=red},
   snobs={15_A,24_B,42_C,51_D},
 ]{123*4,567,89*{10},*{11}}
 \end{example}

 The difference between this pictures and the one given above using
 \option{ribbons} is that in the \option{snobs} are drawn over the top
 of the tableau border, causing the border to disappear for these
 nodes.  For this reason, in most cases you should normally avoid
 \option{snobs} and use \option{ribbons}. This said, \option{snobs} are
 exactly what are needed in \autoref{Ex:Garnir}.

 The \option{snob box} and \option{snob box style} keys work in the
 same way as the \option{path box} and \option{ribbon box}, and
 \option{path box style} and \option{ribbon box style}, keys.

 \option[1]{scale=number}[a decimal number]
 \option*[1]{xscale=number}[a decimal number]
 \option*[1]{yscale=number}[a decimal number]

 By design, boxes in tableaux do not automatically resize to fit
 their contents. For example, consider:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau{ 13{10}{11}{1+x}, 2{1+x} }
 \end{example}

 This is unlikely to be the desired output! The options \option{scale},
 \option{xscale} and \option{yscale} can be used to rescale the boxes
 in tableaux and diagrams. The names are slightly misleading because
 \option{xscale} rescales in the direction of increasing column index
 and \option{yscale} rescales in the direction of increasing row index.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[scale=2]{ 13{10}{11}{1+x}, 2{1+x} }
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[xscale=2]{ 13{10}{11}{1+x}, 2{1+x} }
 \end{example}

 When using the \textsf{australian} and \textsf{ukrainian} conventions,
 \option{xscale} and \option{yscale} scale in both the \textsf{x}
 direction and the \textsf{y}-direction, reflecting how these tableaux
 grow with increasing column and row index, respectively.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[ukrainian, xscale=2]{ 13{10}{11}{1+x}, 2{1+x} }
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[australian, yscale=2]{ 13{10}{11}{1+x},2{1+x} }
 \end{example}

 \begin{warning}
   The options, \option{scale}, \option{xscale}, and \option{yscale},
   affect all \aTableau diagrams, including tableaux, Young diagrams
   and abacuses. If you want to use \keyword{\aTabset} to change the
   default sizes of the diagrams and tableaux in your document, then it
   is probably better to use the \option{box height} and \option{box
   width} options.
 \end{warning}

 \option[0.5]{script=value}[decimal number]
 \option*[0.4]{scriptscript=value}[decimal number]

 Although rare, tableaux and diagrams are sometimes used as subscripts
 and superscripts. The pacakage automatically rescales tableau when
 they are used as subscripts and superscripts, with the \option{script}
 and \option{scriptscript} keys giving finer control over the scaling
 of subscripts and subsubscripts, respectively. The current values of
 the \option{scale}, \option{xscale} and \option{yscale} keys are taken
 into account.

 \begin{example}
   $v_{\Tableau{123,45}}$ \qquad% the default
   $v_{\Tableau[script=0.3, xscale=2]{123,45}}$
 \end{example}

 \option[false]{shifted}[true/false]

 Set to \textsf{true} for a shifted tableau or shifted diagram. Shifted
 tableaux, and shifted diagrams, are discussed in more detail in
 \autoref{S:Shifted}, which describes the \keyword{\ShiftedDiagram} and
 \keyword{\ShiftedTableau} commands.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[shifted]{123,45} \qquad
 \Diagram[shifted]{3,2^2}
 \end{example}

 See \autoref{S:Shifted} for the options specific to shifted tableaux and
 shifted diagrams.

 \option[0]{skew=partition}[a partition]

 Specify the skew shape for a skew tableau or skew diagram. Skew
 tableaux, and skew diagrams, are discussed in more detail in
 \autoref{S:Skew}, which describes the \keyword{\SkewDiagram} and
 \keyword{\SkewTableau} commands.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[skew={2}]{123,45} \qquad
 \Diagram[skew={2^2,1}]{3,2^2}
 \end{example}

 See \autoref{S:Skew} for the options specific to skew tableaux and skew diagrams.

 \option[fill=\aTableauColour{StarStyle}]{star style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 Use \option{star style} to change the style of the starred entries
 of a tableau. (In \TikZ parlance, \option{star style} \emph{appends}
 appends these styles to the default \option{star style}.)

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[star style={text=magenta, draw=cyan, thick}]
   {1*2*3,4*5} \qquad
 \Tableau[star style={fill=orange!50}]{1*2*3,4*5}
 \end{example}

 Note that the tableau border is drawn \textit{after} the
 \option{star style} is applied. You can use \option{snobs} to draw
 over the top of the border.

 \option[]{styles=\TikZ styles}[List of styles]

 The \option{styles} key is a shorthand for defining \TikZ-styles that
 are only used in the current picture. For example, instead of writing

 \begin{example}
 \tikzset{
    B/.style={fill=blue!40, text=yellow},
    G/.style={fill=green!80!blue,circle,minimum size=5mm},
    R/.style={fill=red,text=white, font=\tiny},
    Y/.style={fill=yellow!20, text=blue}
 }
 \Tableau[french]{[R]1[B]2,[G]3,[Y]4}
 \end{example}

 you can save some typing using the \option{styles} key:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[french, styles={
    B={fill=blue!40, text=yellow},
    G={fill=green!80!blue,circle,minimum size=5mm},
    R={fill=red,text=white, font=\tiny},
    Y={fill=yellow!20, text=blue},
 }]{[R]1[B]2,[G]3,[Y]4}
 \end{example}

 Styles defined this way will only be available in the current picture.
 Use \keyword{\tikzset} whenever you are defining styles that are likely
 to be used more than once.

 \option[false]{tabloid}[true/false]

 Use the \option{tabloid} key to draw a tabloid. This key is discussed in
 more detail in \autoref{S:Tabloid}, which describes the
 \keyword{\Tabloid} command.

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[tabloid]{123,45} \qquad
 \Diagram[tabloid]{3,2^2}
 \end{example}

 See \autoref{S:Tabloid} for the options specific to tabloids.

 \option[]{tikz before=commands}[\TikZ commands]
 \option*[]{tikz after=commands}[\TikZ commands]

 These keys inject \TikZ code into the underlying \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment, where the tableau is constructed, before and after the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command, respectively.

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.24\textwidth]
 \Tableau[
  tikz before={\draw[help lines, step=0.5](-0.5,-2)grid(2,0.5);},
  tikz after={\draw[ultra thick, red]
                (A-1-3.north east)--(A-1-3.south east)
                --(A-2-1.north east)--(A-3-1.south east)
                --(A-3-1.south west);
  }]{134,567,89}
 \end{example}

 Both before and after hooks are provided because the order in which
 you place \TikZ commands affects the final picture because later commands
 are drawn over the top of earlier ones. Note that the \emph{before}
 code cannot use the named nodes \textsf{A-r-c} because this code is
 executed before these nodes are constructed, which happens when the
 tableau is drawn. For more examples, see \autoref{SS:order}.

 \option[]{tikzpicture=keys}[\TikZ-keys]

 This command adds an optional argument to the underlying
 \keyword{tikzpicture} environment, which contains the tableau. The
 \option{tikzpicture} option is ignored  when the \keyword{\Tableau}
 command is equipped with $(x,y)$-coordinates.

 As a first example, we can use \keyword{tikzpicture={rotate=30}}
 to rotate a tableau by 90 degrees:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau[tikzpicture={rotate=90}]{123,45} \qquad
 \begin{tikzpicture}[rotate=90]
  \Tableau(0,0){123,45}
 \end{tikzpicture}
 \end{example}

 The two tableaux constructions in this example are equivalent. An
 oddity with both of these examples is that the numbers in the tableaux
 have not been rotated, which is because the \TikZ \emph{rotate} key
 does not affect component objects, such as nodes, inside a \TikZ
 picture. You can rotate the entire picture using the
 \TikZ-key \textit{transform canvas}

 \vspace*{15mm}

 \begin{example}[valign=top, lefthand width=0.3\textwidth]
 \Tableau[tikzpicture={transform canvas={rotate=90}}]{123,45}
 \end{example}

 A more interesting application is using
 \option{tikzpicture=remember picture} to annotate a tableau:

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.3\textwidth, label={Ex:pointing}]
 \Tableau[ukrainian, name=A,
   tikzpicture={remember picture}]
   { 1[fill=blue!20]23[text=red]45,
     6*78[{draw=cyan,ultra thick}]9,
     [{circle,fill=orange}]{10}*{11}{12},
     [{dashed,draw=red,ultra thick}]{13}
   }
 \end{example}

 Since \option{name}=A, the nodes in this tableau are referenced as
 \textsf{(A-1-1)}, \textsf{(A-1-2)}, \textsf{(A-1-3)}, \dots. As the
 example uses \textit{remember picture}, other \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environments can reference the node names in last tableau, which
 allows us to refer back to the table above using:

 \vspace*{3mm}

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.3\textwidth]
 \tikz[remember picture, overlay]
  \draw[very thick, ->, red]
    (0,0) node[right,align=left]
       {This circle is too big!\\Use minimum size=5mm}
    to [out=135, in=225](A-3-1);
 \end{example}

 (See the \ctan{tikzmark} package for extensions of this idea.)

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsubsection{Compositions}
 \index{composition}

 As we have defined them, tableaux are always of \textit{partition}
 shape, in the sense that the lengths of the rows is a weakly
 decreasing sequence. In fact, the \keyword{\Tableau} command also
 accepts tableaux of \emph{composition} shape, where the lengths of the
 rows are not necessarily in decreasing order:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau{ 45,2751,31 } \qquad
 \SkewTableau{1,2}{ 45,27,31 }
 \end{example}

 Even though it is possible to draw compositions, and tableaux of
 composition shape, compositions are not supported in the sense that
 many of the options/keys assume that the diagrams are of partition
 shape.  In addition, some options assume that tableaux and diagrams do
 not contain empty rows, and that the diagrams are \textit{connected}.
 (For disconnected tableaux and diagrams, see the
 \keyword{\Multidiagram} and \keyword{\Multitableau} commands in
 \autoref{S:Multitableau}.)

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsubsection{Drawing order}
 \label{SS:order}
 \index{tableau!drawing order}

 When \TikZ constructs a picture, later objects are drawn over the top
 of earlier ones, which can obscure earlier features. Consequently,
 for more complicated diagrams and tableaux it helps to know the order
 in which the different parts of these diagrams are drawn, which is the
 following:
 \begin{itemize}[nosep]
   \item First, the tableau entries that use the default styling are
   placed, in the order that they appear in the \textit{tableau
   specifications}.
   \item Secondly, the styled tableau entries are placed, in the order
   that they appear in the \textit{tableau specifications}.
   \item Next, the nodes in any \option{ribbons} and ribbon
   \option{paths} are placed, again in the order that the ribbons are
   listed. For each ribbon, first the border of the ribbon is drawn,
   together with any styling for the ribbon, and then the boxes in the
   ribbon, together with any styling, are added.
   \item When enabled by \option{skew border}, the skew border is
   drawn, after which the border of the tableau is drawn.
   \item The \option{dotted rows} and \option{dotted cols} keys are
   applied to replace the specified rows and columns with dots.
   \item Finally, any \option{snobs} are drawn, in the order that they are listed.
 \end{itemize}

 All of the tableau and Young diagram commands use this drawing order.

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsubsection{Special characters}
 \index{tableau!special characters}
 \index{tableau!comma}
 \index{tableau!*}
 \index{tableau![}

 The characters  \textsf{[}, \textsf{,}, and \textsf{*} have
 special meanings in the \textit{tableau specifications}. Enclose these characters in
 braces when you want to use these characters as entries in a tableau:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau{ 13{,}5], 8{[}, {*} }
 \end{example}

 There is no need to enclose~\keyword{]} in braces because it only
 becomes special when it has a partner~\keyword{[}.

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsection{Young diagrams}
 \label{S:Diagram}
 \indexcmd{Diagram}
 \index{young diagram@Young diagram|see{diagram}}
 \index{diagram}
 \index{diagram}
 \index{partition!diagram}

 A \emph{Young diagram}, or simply a \emph{diagram}, is an unlabelled
 tableau. Diagrams can be drawn using the \keyword{\Tableau} command:

 \begin{example}
 \Tableau{~~~,~~~,~~,~}
 \end{example}

 This approach works, but it is cumbersome, hard to proofread, and easy
 to get wrong.  For this reason, \aTableau provides the
 \keyword{\Diagram} command.  The \keyword{\Diagram} command uses
 almost the same syntax as the \keyword{\Tableau} command:

 \keyword{\Diagram (x,y) [options] {partition}}

 As with the \keyword{\Tableau} command, the $(x,y)$-coordinates are
 needed if, and only if, the diagram is inside a \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment.  The \keyword{\Diagram} command allows the
 \emph{partition} to be specified as either a comma-separated list of
 \emph{weakly decreasing positive integers}, or by using \emph{exponential
 notation}:
 \index{exponential notation}
 \index{partition!exponential notation}
 \index{diagram!exponential notation}

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram{4,3^2,1^3} \qquad
 \Diagram{4,3,3,1}
 \end{example}

 Internally, \keyword{\Diagram} actually does something like the first
 example in this section, so all of the options for the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command can be used with \keyword{\Diagram}. Rather
 than repeating all of the \keyword{\Tableau} options in this section,
 we highlight the more interesting options together with some new,
 diagram specific, options.

 \begin{samepage}
 Just like the \keyword{\Tableau} command, \keyword{\Diagram} supports the
 four different conventions for diagrams, with \option{english} being
 the default:

 \option[-]{english}
 \option*[]{french}
 \option*[]{ukrainian}
 \option*[]{australian}
 \end{samepage}

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[australian]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[australian]{3,1^3}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
 % English is the default convention
 \Diagram[english]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram{3,1^3}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[french]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[french]{3,1^3}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[ukrainian]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[ukrainian]{3,1^3}
 \end{example}

 \option[true]{border}[true/false]
 \option*[false]{no border}[false/true]

 If \option{border} is true, which it is by default, then the border of
 the tableau is drawn.  If \option{border} is false, then the border of
 the tableau is not drawn. Notice that the border refers only to the
 outside border of the diagram, and not to the internal borders of the
 boxes on the diagram, which can be disabled using
 \option{no boxes}.

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[border=false]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[no border, french]{3^2,1}
 \end{example}

 The \option{no border} option, and similar options, are provided only
 for completeness because it is the inverse of \option{border}. That
 is, \option{no border} is equivalent to \option{border=false}, and
 \option{no border=false} is equivalent to \option{border=true}.

 \option[true]{boxes}[true/false]
 \option*[false]{no boxes}[false/true]

 The \option{boxes} and \option{no boxes} keys control whether or not
 the internal wall around the boxes are drawn, with these two keys
 being inverses of each other. By default, \option{boxes} is true, so
 the internal boxes are drawn.  When \option{no boxes} is in force
 (equivalently, \option{boxes} is false), the internal walls around
 boxes are not drawn.

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[no boxes]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \Tableau[french, no boxes, no border]{123,45}
 \end{example}

 \option[false]{conjugate}[false/true]

 Draws the conjugate diagram, which has the rows and columns
 interchanged.

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[conjugate]{3,2,2} \qquad
 \Diagram[ukrainian, conjugate]{2,1^3}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{dotted cols=column indices}[comma separated list of columns]
 \option*[]{dotted rows=row indices}[comma separated list of rows]

 The \option{dotted rows} and \option{dotted cols} keys draw diagrams
 where the specified rows and columns are replaced with dots. This
 makes it possible to draw \emph{generic} diagrams, where the number of
 rows and columns is not fully specified.

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{scale=0.7}
 \Diagram[dotted rows={2,4,5}]{4^2,2^2,1^3} \qquad
 \Diagram[dotted cols={5,3,4},
   no boxes] {6,5,4,3,2,1}
 \end{example}

 As shown, if row and columns indices are in increasing
 \textit{consecutive} order, then the corresponding rows or columns are
 replaced as a block. Non-consecutive indices are treated separately.

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{scale=0.7, no boxes}
 \Diagram[dotted rows={4,5,3}] {6,5,5,5,2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[dotted cols={5,3,4}] {6,5,5,5,2,1}
 \end{example}

 \index{tableau!dotted rows}
 \index{tableau!dotted cols}
 The \option{dotted rows} and \option{dotted cols} keys work by
 overwriting the content on the specified rows and columns, so
 anything that was drawn in these rows and columns will disappear.  The
 \option{dotted rows} and \option{dotted cols} keys can be used with
 the \keyword{\Tableau} command, with the caveat that this will remove
 all boxes, with their contents, in the specified rows and columns.

 When the \option{dotted rows} and \option{dotted cols} keys are
 used together, the \option{dotted rows} are applied first.

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[scale=0.7, no boxes,
   dotted rows={4,5},
   dotted cols={4,5},
 ] {6,5,5,5,2,1}
 \end{example}

 When using these two keys together, you need to be careful when
 choosing which rows and columns to remove because, otherwise,
 artefacts can remain. Ideally, the endpoints of the rows and columns
 being removed should not overlap. For example, consider the two
 pictures:

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{scale=0.7, no boxes}
 \Diagram[dotted cols={3}]{6,5,5,5,2,1}\qquad
 \Diagram[dotted cols={4,5,3}, dotted rows={4,5,3},
   tikz after={ \draw[red](0.9,-1.4)circle(0.2); }
 ]{6,5,5,5,2,1}
 \end{example}

 The circled horizontal dots in the right-hand diagram are a ``user
 error'', not a bug. The left-hand diagram shows that these dots come
 from column $3$ with \option{dotted cols} \emph{after} first removing
 rows 4--5 with \option{dotted rows}.

 The \option{dotted rows} and \option{dotted cols} keys are not
 designed to be used with the \option{conjugate} key.

 \option[]{ribbons=ribbon specifications}[list of ribbon specifications]
 \option*[]{paths=path specifications}[list of ribbon specifications]
 \option*[]{snobs=snobs specifications}[list of ribbon specifications]

 Use \option{ribbons}, \option{paths} and \option{snobs} to add
 ribbons, ribbon paths and snobs to a diagram, respectively. The
 \option{snobs} are drawn after the border of the diagram.

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[french, ribbons={*22*c_4*r*r}]{3,2^2,1} \qquad
 \end{example}

 As described in \autoref{S:Tabloid}, there are additional keys that
 control the behaviour of paths, ribbons and snob. For example, the
 keys \option{path style}, \option{path box} and \option{path box
 style} are associated to \option{paths}.

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[ukrainian, inner style=dotted,
   styles={b={fill=blue!20,opacity=0.4},
           R={red,text=red,thick},
           B={blue,text=blue,thick},
   }, path style={thick},
   path box=\bullet,
   paths={(R)15rccrc[b]rc,(B)43[b]rcc}
 ]{5^2,3^3}
 \end{example}

 A description of the ribbon specifications, with examples, can be
 found in \autoref{S:RibbonTableaux}, which describes the
 \keyword{\RibbonTableau} command.

 \subsubsection{Diagrams with entries}\label{SS:entries}
 \index{contents}
 \index{first tableau}
 \index{hooks}
 \index{last tableau}
 \index{residues}
 \index{first tableau}
 \index{tableau!contents}
 \index{tableau!first}
 \index{tableau!hooks}
 \index{tableau!last}
 \index{tableau!residues}

 The \option{entries} key provides a shortcut for drawing some common
 tableaux of a specified shape.

 \option[]{entries=value}[contents, first, hooks, last, residues]

 The possible choices are:

 \begin{itemize}

   \item\option{entries=first} print the \emph{first}
   \textbf{standard} tableau of this shape, with respect to the Bruhat
   order. This is the tableau that has the numbers $1,2\dots,n$ entered
   in order from top left to right along down successive rows (with
   appropriate modifications for the non-English conventions).

   \index{first tableau}
   \index{tableau!first}
   \index{entries!first}
 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[entries=first]{3,2,2} \qquad
 \Diagram[ukrainian, entries=first]{3^2,2}
 \end{example}

   \item\option{entries=last} print the \emph{last} \textbf{standard}
   tableau of this shape, with respect to the Bruhat order. This is the
   tableau that has the numbers $1,2\dots,n$ entered in order from top
   to bottom down successive columns (with appropriate modifications
   for the non-English conventions).

   \index{last tableau}
   \index{tableau!last}
   \index{entries!last}
 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[entries=last]{3,2,2} \qquad
 \Diagram[australian, entries=last]{2^2,1}
 \end{example}

   \item\option{entries=hooks} print the diagram where each box is
   labelled by the corresponding \emph{hook length}. If $\lambda$ is a
   partition and $\lambda'$ is its conjugate partition then the hook
   length of the box in row~$i$ and column~$j$ is
   $\lambda_i-i+\lambda'_j-j+1$.

   \index{tableau!hook lengths}
   \index{hook lengths}
   \index{entries!hook lengths}
 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[entries=hooks]{3,2,2} \qquad
 \Diagram[ukrainian, entries=hooks]{2^2,1}
 \end{example}

 \item\option{entries=contents} print the diagram where each box is
   labelled by its \emph{content}, which is the row index minus the
   column index.

   \index{tableau!contents}
   \index{contents}
   \index{entries!contents}
 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[entries=contents]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[french, entries=contents]{2^2,1}
 \end{example}
 \AddKeyLink{contents}
 \AddKeyLink{residues}
 \AddKeyLink{charge}

 \smallskip\noindent Inside a tableau, the default minus sign for a
 negative number looks too long, so \aTableau uses
 \keyword{\shortminus} for negative contents. For example, it prints
 \keyword{\shortminus 1} instead of \keyword{-1}, which look like
 $\shortminus1$ and $-1$, respectively.\indexcmd{shortminus}

 \item\option{entries=residues} prints the diagram where each box is
 labelled by its \emph{residue}, which is the row index minus the
 column index modulo an integer~$e\ge2$, which must also be supplied.

 \index{residue}
 \index{tableau!residues}
 \index{affine quiver}
 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[entries=residues, e=2]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[french, entries=residues, e=3]{3,2,1}
 \end{example}

 \noindent\AddKeyLink{cartan}\AddKeyLink{e}
   By default, residue sequences for affine type $A^{(1)}_e$, or the symmetric
   group and friends, are given. In addition, residues in affine types
   $C^{(1)}_e$, $A^{(2)}_{2e}$ and $D^{(2)}_e$, which can be accessed
   using \option{cartan=C}, \option{cartan=AA}, and \option{cartan=DD},
   respectively.

 \subsection{Skew tableaux and skew diagrams}
 \label{S:Skew}
 \indexcmd{SkewTableau}
 \indexcmd{SkewDiagram}
 \index{diagram!skew}
 \index{partition!skew}
 \index{tableau!skew}

 A partition $\mu$ is \emph{contained} in another partition $\lambda$, which
 is written as~$\mu\subseteq\lambda$, if $\mu_k\le\lambda_k$, for
 $k\ge0$. If $\mu\subseteq\lambda$ then the \emph{skew partition}
 $\lambda/\mu=\set{(r,c)\in\lambda|(r,c)\notin\mu}$ is the set of nodes
 that are in~$\lambda$ and not in~$\mu$. In this manual, $\mu$ is
 the \emph{inner shape} and $\lambda/\mu$ is the outer shape. A
 \emph{skew tableau} is a labelling of the nodes in the diagram of a
 skew partition. Skew partitions and skew tableau can be drawn using
 the commands:

 \keyword{\SkewDiagram (x,y) [options] {inner shape} {outer shape}}\newline
 \keyword{\SkewTableau (x,y) [options] {inner shape} {skew tableau specifications}}

 \index{exponential notation}
 As with the previous commands, the $(x,y)$--coordinates should be given
 if, and only if, the picture is inside a \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment.  The inner and outer shapes can either be given as a
 comma-separated list of non-negative integers, or in exponential notation.

 Skew tableau and skew diagrams should always be connected. Use
 \keyword{\Multidiagram} and \keyword{\Multitableau} to draw
 disconnected diagrams.

 In fact, the \keyword{\SkewTableau} is just an alias for the
 \keyword{\Tableau}, using the \option{skew} key to set the inner
 shape. For this reason, all of the options for the \keyword{\Tableau}
 command can be used with \keyword{\SkewTableau}. The entries in a
 \keyword{\SkewTableau} are specified in exactly the same way as in the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command. In particular, the entries of skew
 tableaux can, optionally, be given style prefixes, both using a~$*$ to
 add the current \option{star style}, or arbitrary \TikZ-styling using
 \keyword{[...]}.

 \begin{example}
 \tikzset{R/.style={fill=red!20,text=red}}
 \SkewTableau[french]{1^2}{13,5*7,[R]79} \qquad
 \Tableau[french, skew={1^2}]{13,5*7,[R]79}
 \end{example}

 Similarly, the \keyword{\SkewDiagram} command is an alias for the
 \keyword{\Diagram} command, with a \option{skew} key.

 \begin{example}
 \SkewDiagram[french]{1^2}{2^3} \qquad
 \Diagram[french, skew={1^2}]{2^3}
 \end{example}

 As the \keyword{\SkewTableau} and \keyword{\SkewTableaua} commands
 are shortcuts, all of the options for the \keyword{\Tableau} and
 \keyword{\Diagram} commands can be used with the
 \keyword{\SkewTableau} and \keyword{\SkewDiagram} commands,
 respectively. In addition, the following options are supported:

 \option[false]{skew border}[true/false]
 \option*[true]{no skew border}[false/true]

 These two keys are inverse to each other.  When
 \option{skew border} is \textsf{true}, the border of the (inner) skew
 shape is drawn.

 \begin{example}
 \tikzset{R/.style={fill=red!20,circle}}
 \SkewTableau[skew border]{2,1^2}{12[R]3,45,67}
 \SkewTableau[french, skew border]{2,1^2}{12[R]3,45,67}
 \end{example}

 Note that \option{skew border} only draws the border of the skew shape
 and not the boxes inside the inner skew shape. Use \option{skew boxes}
 to draw the interior walls of the boxes in the skew shape.

 \option[draw=\aTableauColour{Skew}, fill=\aTableauColour{SkewFill}, thick]{skew border style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 Use \option{skew border style} to change the style of the skew border.
 Since the skew border is only drawn when \option{skew border} is set,
 the \option{skew border style} does not have any effect unless
 \option{skew border} has been set to \textsf{true}.

 \begin{example}
 \SkewTableau[skew border style={draw=yellow},
     skew border]{2,1^2}{123,45,67} \qquad
 \SkewDiagram[skew border style={dashed,fill=red!10},
     skew border]{1^2}{2^3}
 \end{example}

 \option[false]{skew boxes}[false/true]
 \option*[true]{no skew boxes}[true/false]
 \option*[thin, fill=\aTableauColour{SkewFill}]{skew box style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 The \option{skew boxes} key adds walls to the boxes inside the inner
 partition of a skew shape. Use \option{skew box style} to change the
 default shading of these boxes.

 \begin{example}
 \SkewTableau[skew boxes] {2,1^2}{123,45,67}
 \SkewTableau[skew boxes,
   skew box style={dash pattern=on 1pt off 2pt}
 ] {2,1^2}{123,45,67,89}
 \end{example}

 Using the options \option{skew border} and the \option{skew boxes}
 together gives the skew (inner) shape both inner and outer borders.

 \begin{example}
 \SkewTableau[skew border, skew boxes] {2^2,1}{123,45,67}
 \end{example}

 \subsection{Shifted tableaux and shifted diagrams}
 \label{S:Shifted}
 \indexcmd{ShiftedTableau}
 \indexcmd{ShiftedDiagram}
 \index{diagram!shifted}
 \index{strict partition}
 \index{partition!strict}
 \index{shifted tableau}
 \index{tableau!shifted }

 \emph{Strict partitions}, which have strictly increasing parts, and
 \emph{shifted tableaux}, which are of strict partition shape, appear
 in several places in representation theory, such as in the study of
 projective representations of the symmetric groups. These tableaux and
 diagrams are drawn with row~$r$ shifted by $(r-1)$-units along the
 row, so that the first box in each row has content~$0$. These diagrams
 and tableaux can be drawn using the following commands:

 \keyword{\ShiftedDiagram (x,y) [options] {partition }}\newline
 \keyword{\ShiftedTableau (x,y) [options] {tableau specification}}

 As usual, the $(x,y)$-coordinates are necessary if, and only if, these
 commands are used inside a \keyword{tikzpicture} environment. The
 partition in a~\keyword{\ShiftedDiagram} can be given using
 exponential notation and the tableau specification for a
 \keyword{\ShiftedTableau} can include the usual optional style
 prefixes.

 \begin{example}
 \tikzset{R/.style={fill=red!20,circle}}
 \ShiftedTableau{12[R]3,45,*6}  \qquad
 \ShiftedDiagram[french]{3,2,1}
 \end{example}

 In the literature,  shifted tableaux and shifted diagrams almost
 always have strict partition shape, however, this is not enforced by
 these commands. Under the hood, the \keyword{\ShiftedTableau} is the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command with the \option{shifted} option set
 to true. Similarly, \keyword{\ShiftedDiagram} is the same as using
 the \keyword{\Diagram} command with the \option{shifted} option. Consequently,
 all of the options for the \keyword{\Tableau} and \keyword{\Diagram}
 commands can be used with \keyword{\ShiftedTableau} and
 \keyword{\ShiftedDiagram}, respectively.  In particular, options like
 \option{skew boxes} can be used to highlight the shifted part of the
 diagram

 \begin{example}
 \ShiftedTableau[skew boxes]{1*23,4*5} \quad
 \ShiftedDiagram[skew border]{3,2}
 \end{example}

 The \option{entries} key works as expected for shifted diagrams:

 \begin{Example}
 \ShiftedDiagram[entries=contents]{3,2,1} \qquad
 \ShiftedDiagram[entries=first]{4,2,1} \qquad
 \ShiftedDiagram[entries=hooks]{4,2,1} \qquad
 \ShiftedDiagram[entries=last]{4,2,1} \qquad
 \ShiftedDiagram[entries=residues, e=3]{4,2,1}
 \end{Example}

 The definition of hook lengths for shifted diagrams can be found, for
 example, in \cite{Konvalinka:ShiftedHookLengths}.

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsection{Tabloids}
 \label{S:Tabloid}
 \indexcmd{Tabloid}

 A \emph{tabloid} is an equivalence class of tableau, where two tableaux
 are equivalent if they have the same entries in each row, up to a
 permutation. In the literature, tabloids are usually drawn with lines
 above and below each row, and without side borders. Tabloids can be
 drawn with the \keyword{\Tabloid} command.

 \keyword{\Tabloid (x,y) [options] {partition }}

 The \keyword{\Tabloid} command functions in the same way as the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command, except that it draws tabloids. In fact,
 the \keyword{\Tabloid} is a special case of the \keyword{\Tableau}
 command with the \option{tabloid} option set.

 \begin{example}
 \tikzset{R/.style={fill=red!20,circle,minimum size=5mm}}
 \Tabloid[ukrainian]{12[R]3,45}\quad
 \Tabloid[english]  {12[R]3,45}\quad
 \Tabloid[french]   {12[R]3,45}
 \end{example}

 The \aTableau package does not provide a dedicated command for tabloid
 diagrams, however, they can be drawn using the \keyword{\Diagram}
 command together with the \option{tabloid} option:

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[tabloid]{3^2,1} \qquad
 \Diagram[tabloid, french]{3,1^2}
 \end{example}

 Some authors work with \emph{column tabloids}. Such tableaux do not
 have a dedicated \aTableau command, however, they can be drawn using the
 \option{conjugate} option:  \index{tabloids!column}

 \begin{example}
 \Tabloid[conjugate]{123,4} \qquad
 \Diagram[conjugate, tabloid]{3,1} \qquad
 \end{example}

 Similarly, skew tabloids and shifted tabloids can be drawn using the \option{skew}
 option.
 \label{tabloids!skew}

 \begin{example}
 \Tabloid[skew={2,1}]{19{11},29{10},6} \qquad
 \Tabloid[conjugate, skew={0,1,2}]{19{11}7,29{10},6}
 \end{example}

 \subsection{Ribbon tableaux}\label{S:RibbonTableaux}
 \indexcmd{RibbonTableau}
 \index{ribbon!head}
 \index{tableau!ribbon tableau}

 A \emph{ribbon} in a tableau, or a diagram, is a connected strip of
 boxes~$R$ that are totally ordered by their contents. (Recall from
 \autoref{SS:entries} that the content of the box in row~$a$ and
 column~$b$ is $b-a$.) Therefore, a ribbon does not contain a
 \Diagram[scale=0.3, border=false, align=bottom]{2^2}-square, and if
 $(a,b)\in R$ then at most one of $(a+1,b)$ and $(a,b-1)$ belongs
 to~$R$.  The \emph{head} of a ribbon~$R$ is the unique node of maximal
 content.  A \emph{ribbon tableau} is a tableau that is tiled by
 ribbons. A box is a ribbon of length~$1$, so every tableau is a ribbon
 tableau.

 \keyword{\RibbonTableau (x,y) [options] {ribbon specifications}}

 Like the other commands, the $(x,y)$-coordinates are optional and are
 required if, and only if, the diagram is being used as part of a
 \keyword{tikzpicture} environment. All options for the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command can be used for the ribbon command, so we
 refer to \autoref{S:Tableau} for a description of the available
 options.

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsubsection{Ribbon specifications}
 Unlike the \keyword{\Tableau} command, the entries of a ribbon tableau
 are given by ribbon specifications (rather than tableau)
 specifications. Ribbon specifications are also used by the three keys
 \option{ribbons}, \option{paths}, and \option{snobs}, which were
 introduced in \autoref{SS:TableauOptions}.

 To understand the ribbon specifications, observe that if $(a,b)$ is
 the head of a ribbon, then we can walk along the ribbon by specifying
 whether the \textsf{r}ow index increases or the \textsf{c}olumn index
 decreases. That is, a ribbon is uniquely determined by specifying its
 head $(a,b)$ together with a sequence of $\textsf{r}$'s and
 \textsf{c}'s to indicate when the row index increases, or the column
 index decreases, respectively. For example, vertical and horizontal
 ribbons are given by a sequences of \textsf{r}'s and \textsf{c}'s,
 respectively:

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{align=top, no border}
 \RibbonTableau{11rrrr} \qquad
 \RibbonTableau{16ccccc}
 \end{example}

 The border of a ribbon tableau is the smallest (skew) partition that
 contains all of its ribbons.  In the last example shows, the
 \option{no border} key is used to disable the ribbon tableau border so
 that we can better see the ribbon, which is the full diagram in these
 two cases.

 The following diagram shows a see-sawing ribbon with head in row~$1$
 and column~10, and tail in row~$5$ and column~$1$.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau{1{10}crcrcrcrccccc}
 \end{example}

 As with tableau entries, each box in a ribbon can be preceded with a
 style specification, either using \keyword{*} for the \option{star
 style} or using \keyword{[...]} for more customised style
 specifications.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau{
     *1{10}c*rc*rc*rc*rc*cc*cc,
     *18c[fill=red]rc[fill=blue]rc*rc*cc[fill=teal]c,
     [fill=green]16c*rc*rc*cc,
     *14c[{draw=purple,ultra thick}]cc[fill=orange]r,
     [{fill=yellow,draw=red,ultra thick}]23
 }
 \end{example}

 In particular, the yellow box in this example highlights that boxes
 are ribbons of length~$1$. Most of the time, you want to style the
 entire ribbon rather than styling the individual boxes in the ribbon.
 Optionally, the style for the entire ribbon can be given inside
 parentheses $(...)$ at the \textit{start} of the ribbon. Unlike the
 other style specifications, the $*$-shorthand for the \option{star
 style} cannot be applied to an entire ribbon.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau{
     (fill=red)1{10}crcrcrcrccc_Ccc,
     (fill=orange)18crcrc*rcc_Bcc,
     (fill=yellow)16crcr[fill=cyan]c_Acc,
     (fill=green)14cccr,
     (fill=blue)23
 }
 \end{example}

 Any styles for a ribbon are applied to the region bounded by  the
 closed path given by the border of the ribbon. The ribbon style is
 applied first, after which any styled boxes in ribbon are drawn.  As
 this example shows, the optional style of any box in the ribbon takes
 precedence over the style of the full ribbon.

 Finally, it is often necessary to label some of the boxes in the
 ribbon. Optionally, text can be added to the boxes in a ribbon by
 supplying it as a \textit{subscript} to the corresponding entry in the
 ribbon specification:

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau[french]    { 12_1 c_2 r_3 } \quad
 \RibbonTableau[ukrainian] { 12_a c_b r_c } \quad
 \RibbonTableau[australian]{ 12_{1_a} c_{2_b} r_{3_c} }
 \end{example}

 Here we have put spaces between the entries for the different boxes
 in the ribbon for clarity. There are often many ways to draw the same
 ribbon tableau, especially if the entries have styling.

 \begin{example}
 \tikzset{Fill/.style={fill=#1!20!white},
   B/.style={Fill=blue}, R/.style={Fill=red}, Y/.style={Fill=yellow}}
 \RibbonTableau{ [B]12_1  [R]c_2   [Y]r_3} \qquad
 \RibbonTableau{ [B]12_1, [R]11_2, [Y]21_3 } \qquad
 \Tableau{       [B]2     [R]1,    [Y]3 }
 \end{example}

 As shown, the easiest way to draw this particular tableau is using the \keyword{\Tableau} command.

 There is no dedicated syntax for putting a label on the boundary
 between two boxes in the diagram, but this can be done using the named
 anchors of~\autoref{E:NodeNames}.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau[shifted, tikz after={
     \node at (A-1-2.east){$1$};
     \node at (A-2-2.east){$2$};
 }]{ 14c, 12c, 23c }
 \end{example}

 Here is an example of a $3$-ribbon skew tableau.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau[skew={2^2,1^2}, skew border]{
    14c_0r,15r_1c, 18c_7c,26r_9r,
    34c_2c,35r_8r,42r_3c, 44c_4r,
    54r_6c,62c_5r
 }
 \end{example}

 We have now seen the full ribbon specifications. To summarise:
 \begin{itemize}[nosep]
   \item The ribbon specification starts with optional \TikZ-styling
   for the ribbon (or path), enclosed in $(...)$.
   \item The first entry in the ribbon is given as
   \textsf{a}\textsf{b}, if the head of the ribbon is in row
   \textsf{a} and column \textsf{b}. The remaining entries in the
   ribbon are specified by a sequence of \textsf{r}'s and \textsf{c}'s,
   depending on whether the next box in the ribbon is given by
   increasing the row index, or decreasing the column index,
   respectively.
   \item Optionally, each box in the ribbon, including the head, can be
   given \TikZ-styling by prefixing it with a $*$, which gives the
   box the \option{star style}, or by giving \TikZ-styling keys inside
   square brackets $[...]$.
 \end{itemize}

 Finally, when drawing the border, all ribbons in a
 \keyword{\RibbonTableau} are assumed to be contained in the smallest
 Young diagram that contains the ribbons. This said, it is up to you to
 ensure that the boxes in the ribbon do not have negative column
 indices.  Inside a \keyword{\Diagram} or \keyword{\Tableau} command,
 any ribbons added using \option{paths}, \option{ribbons}, or
 \option{snobs} do not affect the border of the diagram or tableau. You
 can draw paths, ribbons, and snobs so that their boxes are either
 inside or outside the border of the diagram or tableau. It can be
 useful to place boxes outside of the diagrams.

 \option[]{paths=path specifications}[comma separated ribbon specifications]<ribbons>
 \option*[]{ribbons=ribbon specifications}[comma separated ribbon specifications]<ribbons>
 \option*[]{snobs=snob specifications}[comma separated ribbon specifications]<ribbons>

 You can add \option{ribbons}<ribbons>, \option{paths}<ribbons> and
 \option{snobs}<ribbons> to a \keyword{\RibbonTableau} in exactly the
 same way that you add them to \keyword{\Tableau}. At first sight, it
 seems unnecessary to add \option{ribbons}<ribbons> and
 \option{snobs}<ribbons> because ribbon tableaux are composed of
 ribbons. The point is that any ribbon added to a tableau using
 \option{ribbons}<ribbons> or \option{snobs}<ribbons> is not assumed to
 be inside the border of the tableau.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau[
   styles={A={fill=green!10, text=teal}, R={fill=yellow!10, text=red}},
   ribbons={[A]15_A,[A]24_A,[A]41_A, [R]14_R,[R]33_R}
 ]{11, (fill=blue!10)12rc, 14crrcc}
 \end{example}

 Here is a cute use of \option{paths} to add arrows to a skew
 $2$-ribbon tableau:

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.35\textwidth]
 \RibbonTableau[skew={4,3,2,1},
   styles={L={red,semithick,->}, R={red,semithick,<-}},
   paths ={ (L)15c, (L)17c, (L)24c, (L)26c,
            (R)32r,(R)41r,(R)52r,(R)61r, (R)34c},
   tikz after = { % node labels: row/col/label
     \foreach \r/\c/\l in {1/6/0,1/8/6,2/5/3,2/7/8}
       { \node at (A-\r-\c.west){\l};}
     \foreach \r/\c/\l in {5/1/1,4/2/2,3/3/5,7/1/4,6/2/7}
       { \node at (A-\r-\c.south){\l};}
   }
 ]{ 16c,18c, 25c, 27c, 33r, 42r, 51r, 62r,71r }
 \end{example}

 The arrows are added by the \option{paths} key using the two styles
 \textsf{L} and \textsf{R}, which draws ``left'' and ``right'' arrows
 between the two boxes, where left and right is with respect to the
 line-order of the two boxes in the corresponding draw command.  The
 two \keyword{\foreach}-statements might look complicated, but they are
 just loops that add the entries to the tableau. These loops set
 \keyword{\r}, \keyword{\c} and \keyword{\l} equal to the row index,
 column index and label, respectively, using the two lists of
 \keyword{\r}\!/\!\keyword{\c}\!/\!\keyword{\l} triples given above.

 \option[draw=\aTableauColour{Inner}, thin]{ribbon style=style}{\TikZ-styling}
 \option*[]{ribbon box style=style}{\TikZ-styling}

 Use the \option{ribbon style} and \option{ribbon box} keys to
 append to the default styling of the ribbons, and the boxes in the
 ribbons, respectively. By default, the full ribbon has inner wall
 styling, but the boxes in ribbons have no styling. If you want inner
 walls, then they can be added using the \option{ribbon box} key.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau[ribbon style={draw=red, thick,
   fill=orange!20}]{16_1r_2c_3c_4c_5c_6r_7c_8}
 \RibbonTableau[ribbon box style={fill=orange!20,
   draw=magenta}]{16_1r_2c_3c_4c_5c_6r_7c_8}
 \end{example}

 Ribbons are drawn by first drawing the full ribbon, applying
 \option{ribbon style}, then the empty boxes in the ribbon are drawn,
 and, finally, any boxes in the ribbon that have styling or an entry
 are added. In particular, if the style \option{ribbon box} draws an
 outline around a box then this has precedence over any outline added
 by \option{ribbon style} since \option{ribbon box} is applied last.

 \option[]{ribbon box=text}{default box contents}

 You can add content to the boxes in a ribbon using subscripts in
 the ribbon specifications. Alternatively, you can use
 \option{ribbon box} if you want to add the same
 content to each box in the ribbon.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau[ribbon box=\times]{14rccrc}\qquad
 \RibbonTableau[ribbon box=\bullet]{14_1rc_2cr_3c}
 \end{example}

 As shown, whenever a box entry is given as a subscript it is used
 instead of the value of \option{ribbon box}. If a ribbon
 tableau contains multiple ribbons, then \option{ribbon box} is used
 for all ribbons.

 Similarly, there are keys \option{path style}, \option{path box},
 \option{path box style}, \option{snob style}, \option{snob box} and
 \option{snob box style} that work in exactly the same way. Most of the
 \keyword{\Tableau} keys work as expected for ribbon tableaux.

 \subsection{Multidiagrams and multitableaux}\label{S:Multitableau}
 \indexcmd{Multidiagram}
 \indexcmd{Multitableau}
 \index{diagram!multidiagram}
 \index{tableau!multitableau}

 Multitableaux and multidiagrams are $\ell$-tuples of tableaux and
 diagrams, respectively. Such diagrams appear in many places in representation
 theory, such as when considering representations of wreath products
 or cyclotomic Hecke algebras. For convenience, \aTableau provides
 the \keyword{\Multidiagram} and \keyword{\Multitableau} commands for
 drawing these diagrams, even though it is possible to construct
 such tableaux and diagrams using the \keyword{\Tableau} and
 \keyword{\Diagram} commands.

 \keyword{\Multidiagram (x,y) [options] {multipartition specifications} }\newline
 \keyword{\Multitableau (x,y) [options] {multitableau specifications}   }

 \index{components}
 \index{multidiagram!components}
 \index{multitableau!components}
 Our preferred notation for a multipartition $\blam$ is to write
 $\blam=(\lambda^{(1)}|\lambda^{(2)}|\dots|\lambda^{(\ell)})$, where
 $\ell\ge1$ is the \emph{level} and the partitions
 $\lambda^{(1)},\dots,\lambda^{(\ell)}$ are the \emph{components}
 of~$\blam$. Similarly, a multitableau is written as
 $\T=(\T^{(1)}|\dots|\T^{(\ell)})$, where the tableaux
 $\T^{(1)},\dots,\T^{(\ell)}$ are the \emph{components} of~$\T$.
 Accordingly, in the \keyword{\Multidiagram} and
 \keyword{\Multitableau} commands, the pipe symbol \keyword{|} is used
 to separate components:

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{scale=0.7}
 \Multidiagram{3,2^2|2,1,1|1}
 \Multitableau[box font=\tiny]
   { 123,45,67 | 89,{10},{11} | {12}{13}{14} }
\end{example}

 As shown, the \keyword{\Multidiagram} command accepts exponential
 notation for multipartitions. The entries in a \keyword{\Multitableau} can
 be given optional styling specifications, exactly as inside the
 \keyword{\Tableau} command.

 \begin{example}
 \tikzset{R/.style={fill=red!10,text=magenta}}
 \Multitableau{1*24,*68 | [R]9{10},{11}}
 \end{example}

 Multitableaux and multidiagrams can, in principle, have arbitrary
 level. In practice, the level is constrained by the page width.

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[french]{1,2 | 3,4 | 5,6 | 7,8 | 9,{10}}
 \end{example}

 Both the \keyword{\Multitableau} and \keyword{\Multidiagram} commands
 accept a special component, \keyword{...}, that is used to add dots between the
 separators:

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{scale=0.7}
 \Multidiagram{3,2^2|...|1}
 \Multitableau[box font=\tiny]
   {123,45,67 | ... | {12}{13}{14}}
 \end{example}

 The \keyword{\Multitableau} and \keyword{\Multidiagram} commands
 accept most of the options of the \keyword{\Tableau} and
 \keyword{\Diagram} commands, together with a few options that are
 specific to multitableaux and multidiagrams. This section describes
 the new options, and highlights how some of the other options are used.

 \option[-]{english}
 \option*[]{french}
 \option*[]{ukrainian}
 \option*[]{australian}

 All four tableaux conventions are supported for multitableaux and
 multidiagrams, with the caveat that all component diagrams use the
 same convention.

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{scale=0.7}
 \Multidiagram[french]{3,2^2|...|1}
 \Multitableau[ukrainian, box font=\tiny]
   {123,45,67 | ... | {12}{13}{14}}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{conjugate}
 \index{conjugate!multidiagram}
 \index{conjugate!multitableau}
 \index{multidiagram!conjugate}
 \index{multitableau!conjugate}

 The \option{conjugate} option prints the conjugate multitableaux and
 multidiagrams. Conjugation for multitableaux and multidiagrams reverses
 the order of the components and then conjugates the component
 diagrams.

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{scale=0.6, box font=\scriptsize}
 \Multitableau[conjugate]{ 123,45 | 67,89} \quad
 \Multidiagram[conjugate]{ 3,2 | 1^2 }
 \end{example}

 \option[()]{delimiters}[pair of \LaTeX{} delimiters]
 \option*[(]{left delimiter}[a \LaTeX{} delimiter]
 \option*[)]{right delimiter}[a \LaTeX{} delimiter]

 The delimiter options control the delimiters that are put on the left
 and right of multitableaux and multidiagrams. These options accept any
 \LaTeX{} delimiter.

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{scale=0.7}
 \Multidiagram[left delimiter=\langle,
     right delimiter={]}]{2,1|1} \quad
 \Multidiagram[delimiters={\|}{\}} ]{1^2|2}
 \end{example}

 To remove a delimiter, set \option{left delimiter} or
 \option{right delimiter} to nothing.

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[left delimiter=, right delimiter=]
   {123,45,67|{12}{14}}
 \end{example}

 \option[\textbackslash textendash]{empty=text}[any \LaTeX{}]

 The \option{empty} option determines what is printed when a component
 diagram is empty. By default, the en-dash symbol \textendash{} is
 used.

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau{ 123,45 | | 67,89} \par\bigskip
 \Multidiagram[empty=$\emptyset$]{ 3,2 | | 2^2 }
 \end{example}

 \begin{warning}
   By default, the \option{empty} key is typeset as text and \emph{not}
   as mathematics, which is the default for the tableau boxes.
 \end{warning}

 \option[]{entries=value}[contents, first, hooks, last, residues]<multitableau>
 \option*[]{charge=offsets}[$|$-separated list of charges]<multitableau>

 \index{contents}
 \index{residues}
 \index{contents!multitableau}
 \index{first tableau!multitableau}
 \index{hooks!multitableau}
 \index{last tableau!multitableau}
 \index{residues!multitableau}
 \index{entries!multitableau}
 \index{multidiagram!show}
 \index{multitableau!contents}
 \index{multitableau!first}
 \index{multitableau!hooks}
 \index{multitableau!last}
 \index{multitableau!residue}

 The \option{entries} key automatically fills in particular types of
 entries for you to draw the requested tableau of the specified shape.
 Use \option{charge} to provide offsets in each component when using
 \option{entries=contents} and \option{entries=residues} {(}the
 \option{charge} is ignored when using \option{entries=first} and
 \option{entries=last}).

 \nopagebreak[0]
 The possible choices are:
 \begin{itemize}

   \item\option{entries=first} print the \emph{first} \textbf{standard} tableau of this
   shape, which has the numbers $1,2\dots,n$ entered in order from top
   left to right along down successive rows (with appropriate modifications for
   the non-English conventions).

 \begin{example}
 \Multidiagram[entries=first]{3,1^2|2^2,1}
 \end{example}

   \item\option{entries=last} print the \emph{last} \textbf{standard} tableau of this
   shape, which has the numbers $1,2\dots,n$ entered in order from top
   to bottom down successive columns, and right to left along components (with appropriate modifications for
   the non-English conventions).

 \begin{example}
 \Multidiagram[entries=last]{3,2,2|2^2}
 \end{example}

   \item\option{entries=hooks} print the diagram where each box in each
   component is labelled by the corresponding \emph{hook length}.

 \begin{example}
 \Multidiagram[entries=hooks]{3,1^2|3^3}
 \end{example}

   \item\option{entries=contents} print the diagram where each box is
   labelled by its \emph{content}, which is the row index minus the
   column index.

 \begin{example}
 \Multidiagram[entries=contents,
   charge={0,2}] {3,2,1|2^2}
 \end{example}

   As shown, the \option{charge} offsets the contents in each
   component.

   \item\option{entries=residues} print the diagram where each box is
   labelled by its \emph{residue}, which is the row index minus the
   column index modulo some integer~$e$, which must also be supplied.

   \index{residues}
   \index{tableau!residues}
 \begin{example}
 \Multidiagram[entries=residues, e=2]{3,2,1|1^3}
 \end{example}

 Specifying the \option{charge} offsets the residues in each component.

 \begin{example}
   \Multidiagram[french, entries=residues, e=3,
     charge={1,2}]{3,2,1|1^2}
 \end{example}

 \medskip\noindent
 As in \autoref{SS:entries}, residues for the other affine Cartan types
 can be specified using \option{cartan=value}.

 \end{itemize}

 \option[]{label=labels}[a $|$-separated list of labels]

 Use \option{label} to add labels to the component diagrams.

 \begin{example}
   \Multitableau[label={1|2}]{123,45,67|{12}{14}}
 \end{example}

 No extra space is allowed for the labels, so use the
 \option{separation} key, or \option{xoffsets} and \option{yoffsets},
 to adjust for wide labels.

 \option[A]{name=text}[character]<multi>

 The \option{name} option is used to change the default prefix for the
 box node names. In a tableau, or diagram, the box names depend on the
 \emph{row} and \emph{column} indices. In a multitableau, or
 multidiagram, the box names depend on the \emph{component}, \emph{row}
 and \emph{column} indices. Explicitly, by default, in multitableaux
 and multidiagrams the names of the take the form \textsf{A-k-r-c},
 where~\textsf{k} is the component index,~\textsf{r} is the row index,
 and~\textsf{c} is the column index of the box.
 \footnote{This follows the convention for nodes in multidiagrams
 from~\cite{EvseevMathas:DeformedKLR}, rather than the somewhat misguided
 convention that the author introduced in~\cite{DJM:cyc}.}
 The \textsf{B} can be changed like using the \option{name} key.

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[name=A, tikz after = {
   \draw[red, thick,<->](A-1-2-2.south east) to
        [out=315,in=225] (A-2-2-1.south west);
   }] { 123,4*5 | 67,*89}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{paths=path specifications}[a $|$-separated list of ribbon path specifications]<multi>
 \option*[]{ribbons=ribbon specifications}[a $|$-separated list of ribbon specifications]<multi>
 \option*[]{snobs=snob specifications}[a $|$-separated list of ribbon specifications]<multi>

 The \option{paths}<multi>, \option{ribbons}<multi>,  and
 \option{snobs}<multi> keys work in exactly the same way for
 multitableaux and multidiagrams as they do for tableaux and diagrams,
 except that the ribbons for different components are separated by a
 pipe $|$.

 \begin{example}

 \Multitableau[ribbons={(R)11*r | (Y)12rc},
   styles={R={fill=red!10, opacity=0.5},
           Y={fill=yellow!20, opacity=0.5}
 }] { 123,45 | 67,89}
 \end{example}

 Notice that the $4$ is the first component has disappeared because
 the second node in the ribbon \textsf{(R)11*r} has $*$-styling, which
 writes over the $4$. (One way to recover the missing entry is to use the
 ribbon specification \textsf{(R)11*r\textunderscore4}.)

 \option[]{rows=number}[a decimal number]

 The \option{rows} option sets the number of rows covered by the
 delimiters in multitableaux and multidiagram.  By default, the
 \keyword{\Multitableau} and \keyword{\Multidiagram} set
 the size of the delimiters so that they match the component diagrams, which may
 not be what you want especially when using the \option{australian} and
 \option{ukrainian} conventions. The value of \option{rows} can be a
 decimal number.

 \begin{example}
 \Multidiagram[ukrainian, scale=0.5]{3,2^2|...|2,1^2}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[rows=3, scale=0.8, box font=\tiny]
      {{1_1}{1_1}{1_1}{2_1},{2_1}{2_1}{2_1} |
       {1_2}{3_3},{2_2} |
       {1_3}{1_3},{2_3}}
 \end{example}

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[ukrainian, rows=2.5, scale=0.8, box font=\tiny]
      {{1_1}{1_1}{1_1}{2_1},{2_1}{2_1}{2_1} |
       {1_2}{3_3},{2_2} |
       {1_3}{1_3},{2_3}}
 \end{example}

 \option[true]{separators}[true/false]
 \option*[false]{no separators}[false/true]

 When \option{separators} is true, delimiters are drawn around the
 component diagrams in a multitableaux and a multidiagram and
 separators are drawn between the component shapes, and
 \option{no separators} is the inverse option. By default, separators
 and delimiters are drawn.

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[separators, scale=0.8]
   {123,45,67 | 89,{10}{11}}  \par\bigskip
 \Multidiagram[no separators, scale=0.7]
   {3,2^2|2,1^2} \par\bigskip
 \end{example}

 \option[$|$]{separator=text}[character]

 The \option{separator} determines what is printed between the
 component diagrams in multitableaux and multipartition. By default,
 \option{separator=$|$} draws a straight line between the
 components, but any character can be used.

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[separator={,}]{ 123,45 | 67,89} \par\bigskip
 \Multidiagram[separator=:]{ 3,2 | 2^2 }
 \end{example}

 \option[\aTableauColour{Main}]{separator colour=colour}[a \LaTeX{} colour]

 The \option{separator colour} sets the colour of the delimiters and
 the separator between component diagrams. By default, the separators
 are the same colour as the diagram border.

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[separator colour=red]{123,45 | 67,89} \par\bigskip
 \Multidiagram[separator color=brown, separator=:]
   {3,2 | 2^2 }
 \end{example}

 \option[0.3]{separation=number}[a decimal number (the distance in \unit{cm})]

 The \option{separation} key sets the distance between the separators
 and the component tableaux and diagrams.

 \begin{example}
 \Multitableau[separation=0.1]{123,45 | 67,89} \par\bigskip
 \Multidiagram[separation=0.8]{3,2 | 2^2}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{skew=partitions}{a $|$-separated list of partitions}

 Skew multishapes can be drawn using the \option{skew} option to
 specify a $|$-separated list of inner shapes.

 \begin{example}
   \Multitableau[skew={2,1|1}]{ 123,45 | 7{10},89} \par\bigskip
   \Multidiagram[skew={1|2,1}, skew boxes]{ 3,2 | 2^2 }
 \end{example}

 There is no command for drawing shifted multitableau or multidiagrams.
 Such diagrams can be drawn using the
 \option{skew} key.  In the same way, it is possible to draw
 multitableaux and multidiagrams with components that are a mixture of
 non-skew, skew and shifted shapes.

 \begin{example}
   \Multitableau[skew={0,1|0,1}]{ 1236,45 | 7{10}{11},89} \par\bigskip
   \Multidiagram[skew={|0,1}]{ 3,2 | 2,1 }
 \end{example}

 \option[true]{tabloid}[true/false]

 Use the \option{tabloid} key for multitabloid diagrams and tableaux.

 \begin{example}
   \Multitableau[tabloid]{ 123,45 | 67,89} \par\bigskip
   \Multidiagram[tabloid]{ 4,2 | 2^2 }
 \end{example}

 \option[0]{xoffsets=offsets}[$|$-separated list of $x$-offsets]
 \option*[0]{yoffsets=offsets}[$|$-separated list of $y$-offsets]

 The \keyword{\Multitableau} and \keyword{\Multidiagram} commands try
 to draw the diagrams as compactly as possible with their first rows
 aligned, and the distance between the separators given by the value of
 \option{separation}. Use \option{xoffsets} to offset the
 $x$-coordinates of the component diagrams and \option{yoffsets} to
 offset their $y$-coordinates.

 \begin{example}
   \Multitableau[xoffsets={0.5,0.2}]{ 123,45 | 67,89} \par\bigskip
   \Multidiagram[yoffsets={0,1.5}]{ 4,2 | 2^2 }
 \end{example}

 When using \option{xoffsets} or \option{yoffsets}, you may want to use
 \option{no separators} to disable the separators between component
 shapes. For example, here is a homogeneous Garnir tableau using the
 style of~\cite{KMR:UniversalSpecht}, where no separators are used and
 the component tableaux are stacked vertically.

 \begin{example}[label=Ex:Garnir]
   \Multidiagram[entries=first, no separators,
     xoffsets={0|-1.1}, yoffsets={0|-1},
     styles={O={fill=orange!50}, P={fill=purple!50}},
     snob style={draw=red,double,thick,fill=white},
     snobs={|(O)24_{15}c_{14}, (P)26_{17}c_{16}, 27_{18},
       31_{11},  (P)33_{13}c_{12}}
   ]{1|7^2,4,1}
 \end{example}

 This is a slightly lazy way of drawing this multitableau because
 \option{entries=first} is used to automatically populate most of the
 entries and then \option{snobs=...} are used to rewrite the ``bricks''
 in the homogeneous Garnir belt.

 \section{Abacuses} \label{S:Abacus} \index{abacus} \indexcmd{Abacus}

 Gordon James introduced the abacus, with beads and runners, as another
 way to represent a partition~\cite{James:YoungD}. The abacus is
 particularly useful in modular representation theory, where the number
 of runners is the (quantum) characteristic. Abacus combinatorics are
 now used to help many algebras beyond their initial appearance in the
 representation theory of the symmetric groups.

 The partition corresponding to an abacus is given by counting the
 number of empty bead positions before each bead on the abacus. The
 \keyword{\Abacus} command, which draws an abacus representation of a
 partition, has a similar syntax to the tableau and diagram commands.

 \keyword{\Abacus (x,y) [options] {number of runners} {bead specifications}}

 As with other \aTableau commands, the $(x,y)$-coordinates are
 necessary if, and only if, the abacus is part of a
 \keyword{tikzpicture} environment.  The number of runners is a
 positive integer that specifies the number of abacus runners.

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsection{Bead specifications}

 In their simplest form, the bead specifications are a comma separated
 list of non-negative integers specifying a partition. Partitions can
 be given either as comma separated lists of non-negative integers, or
 using exponential notation. The full bead specifications add optional
 styling and bead labels.

 Here are some examples showing basic usage of the \keyword{\Abacus}
 command:

 \begin{Example}
 \aTabset{align=top}
 \Abacus{1}{2,1,1}     \qquad \Abacus{2}{2,1^2,0^3} \qquad \Abacus{3}{2,1^2,0^5} \qquad
 \Abacus{4}{2,1^2,0^5} \qquad \Abacus{5}{2,1^2,0^5} \qquad \Abacus{6}{2,1^2,0^5}
 \end{Example}

 The beads in an abacus correspond to the parts of the partition. Just
 as with the \keyword{\Tableau} command, each of the beads can be given
 optional styling, which can either be given by prepending a
 \keyword{*}, which applies the \option{abacus star style}, or by
 giving \TikZ styling-keys inside square brackets \keyword{[...]}.
 When exponential notation is used, the styles are applied to all of the
 associated beads.

 \begin{example}
 \aTabset{align=top}
 \Abacus{3}{3,*2^3,1}  \qquad
 \Abacus{4}{2,*1,[ball color=red]1^2, *1,
   [ball color=orange]1,[ball color=brown]0}
 \end{example}

 In particular, in the right-hand abacus, the two beads corresponding
 to \keyword{1^2} are coloured red, whereas the other three beads that
 correspond to a~$1$ are either orange or an off-white colour, which is
 the default \option{abacus star style}. As with the tableaux commands,
 we recommend using \keyword{\tikzset} to define more complicated bead styles.

 In addition to applying style to the individual beads on the abacus,
 \emph{labels} for any bead can (optionally) be given as a subscript in the
 bead specifications. Again, the same labels are applied to all of the
 corresponding beads when exponential notation is used.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus{2}{5_5, 4_4, 3_3, 2_2,0_0} \qquad
 \Abacus[styles={R={ball color=red, text=yellow}}]
   {3}{*5^2_5, [R]4^3_4, 3, 2_2,*0^2_{oo}} \qquad
 \Abacus{4}{8^2_-,7_+,5_a,4^2_b,1_\times^3,1_d}
 \end{example}

 The bead labels are arbitrary, however, anything wider than the bead
 will spill into the abacus. Traditionally, abacus beads are not labelled,
 but you can give labels to as many beads as you like.

 You can remove beads that you have placed on the abacus using the \emph{no shade} style%
 \footnote{\TikZ \emph{does not} provide a way to disable
 a shading that is already in effect. The \emph{no shade} style, which is
 based on a \href{https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/85750/234252}{stack exchange post},
 is available whenever the \aTableau package is loaded.}.
 The point of being able to remove beads in this way is that this
 allows you to put something else in its place using the bead label.
 In such cases, you probably want to change the text colour, which is white
 by default.

 \begin{example}[label=Ex:NoShade]
 \Abacus[styles={C={no shade,text=red}}]
   {5}{8^2_-,7_+,5_a,4^2_b,[C]1_\bullet^3,1_d}
 \end{example}
 \index{no shade}

 As with tableau boxes, the bead labels are typeset in
 mathematics~mode by default. This can changed using
 \option{math entries} and \option{text entries}.
 \index{math entries!abacus}
 \index{text entries!abacus}

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsubsection{Abacus coordinates}\label{SS:abcoordinates}
 \index{xy@$(x,y)$}
 \index{Cartesian coordinates!abacus}

 The $(x,y)$-coordinates are required if, and only if, the
 \keyword{\Abacus}command is used inside a \keyword{tikzpicture}
 environment, in which case $(x,y)$ gives the coordinates of the
 ``outside corner'' of the box in row~$1$ and column~$1$ of the
 tableau. The following example shows how tableaux are placed using
 $(x,y)$-coordinates inside a \keyword{tikzpicture} environment. The
 example also shows that, by default, the beads and runners in an
 abacus are half a unit apart.

 \begin{example}
 \begin{tikzpicture}[add grid]
   \aTabset{abacus ends=_|}
   \Abacus(0,0.5)  [south]              {3}{2,1^2}
   \Abacus(0,2)    [east,  bead=red]    {3}{2,1^2}
   \Abacus(2.5,0.5)[north, bead=orange] {3}{2,1^2}
   \Abacus(3.5,-1) [west,  bead=brown]  {3}{2,1^2}
 \end{tikzpicture}
 \end{example}

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsection{Abacus keys}

 The abacus keys, or options, control the general appearance of the
 abacuses drawn by the \keyword{\Abacus} command. Many of the options,
 or keys, for tableaux and diagrams can be applied to abacuses, and we
 do not discuss all of these options here. For example, the
 \keyword{\Abacus} command accepts the following keys:
 \option{align}, \AddKeyLink{align-abacus}\AddKeyLink{halign-abacus}\AddKeyLink{valign-abacus}
 \option{math entries}, \AddKeyLink{math entries-abacus}
 \option{text entries}, \AddKeyLink{text entries-abacus}
 \option{name}, \AddKeyLink{name-abacus}
 \option{scale}, \AddKeyLink{scale-abacus}\AddKeyLink{xscale-abacus}\AddKeyLink{yscale-abacus}
 \option{styles}, \AddKeyLink{styles-abacus}
 \option{tikz after}, \AddKeyLink{tikz after-abacus}
 \option{tikz before}, and \AddKeyLink{tikz before-abacus}
 \option{tikzpicture}. \AddKeyLink{tikzpicture-abacus}
 See \autoref{S:keys} for the complete list.

 \option[-]{south}
 \option*[]{east}
 \option*[]{north}
 \option*[]{west}

 Just like tableaux, abacus have four different conventions.  By
 default, abacuses are drawn with the runners pointing to the south,
 from top to bottom, and runners increasing from left to right. Similar
 to tableaux, we number the rows $0,1,\dots$, and we number the
 runners, or columns, $0,1,\dots,e-1$, from left to right (when using
 \option{south}). If there are $e$ runners, then the bead in row~$r$
 and column~$c$ is in position $er+c$. See \autoref{Ex:BeadPositions}
 for an example.

 Using the keys \option{east}, \option{north} and \option{west},
 abacuses can be drawn so that the row index increases to the east,
 north, and west, respectively.

 \begin{Example}
\Abacus[south,entries=betas]{2}{4^2,2,1}\qquad\Abacus[east,entries=betas]{2}{4^2,2,1}\qquad
\Abacus[north,entries=betas]{2}{4^2,2,1}\qquad\Abacus[west,entries=betas]{2}{4^2,2,1}
 \end{Example}

 To make these conventions clearer, we have used
 \option{entries=betas}<abacus> to label the beads in these abacuses by
 their bead positions, or \emph{beta numbers}.

 \option[$-|$]{abacus ends}  [any pair of: $-$, \_\!\_, ., *, $|$, \textgreater]
 \option*[very thick, draw=\aTableauColour{Inner}]{abacus ends style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 The \option{abacus ends} key sets the style used for the top and
 bottom of the abacus. The meaning of these six symbols is the
 following:

 \begin{quote}
   \begin{options}[labelwidth=1em, nosep]
     \item[*$-$] Adds a line that extends slightly past the first and last runners
     \item[*\_\!\_]  Adds a line between the first and last runners
     \item[*.]   Add dots to the end of each runner
     \item[**]   Add dots and an arrow to the end of each runner
     \item[*$|$] The runners do not have any additional decoration
     \item[*$>$] Add arrows to the end of each runner
   \end{options}
 \end{quote}

 Exactly two of these styling characters must be given when setting
 \option{abacus ends}. There are six options for the top of the abacus,
 and six options for the bottom, so there are 36 possible
 configurations (most of which will never be used...). We do not list
 all of them, but here are some examples.

 \begin{Example}
 \aTabset{align=top}
 \Abacus[abacus ends=-|]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad\Abacus[abacus ends=-_]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad
 \Abacus[abacus ends=_.]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad\Abacus[abacus ends=>>]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad
 \Abacus[abacus ends=>|]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad\Abacus[abacus ends=_-]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad
 \Abacus[abacus ends=>-]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad\Abacus[abacus ends=-*]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}
 \end{Example}

As one more example, \emph{beta numbers} can be displayed on a single
runner using:

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[abacus ends=**, east, rows=7]{1}{2,1^2,*0^2}
 \end{example}

 The \option{abacus ends style} key changes the \TikZ-styling of the
 ends of the abacus. By default, this styling is the same as the
 styling for the abacus runners, which is set using
 \option{runner style}. Changes to \option{runner style} also change
 the style of the abacus ends, but their style is ultimately determined
 by \option{abacus ends style}.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[abacus ends style={aTableauMain,
     ultra thick}]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad
 \Abacus[runner style=cyan]{3}{2,1^2,0^3}\qquad
 \Abacus[abacus ends style=aTableauMain,
     runner style=cyan] {3}{2,1^2,0^3}
 \end{example}

 \option[ball color=\aTableauColour{StarStyle}, text=\aTableauColour{Main}]{abacus star style=style}
    [\TikZ-styling]

 The \option{abacus star style} key appends \TikZ-style keys to the
 abacus $*$-style:

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus{3}{5,*4_a,*1^2,0^4} \qquad
 \Abacus[abacus star style={ball color=yellow,text=black}]
   {3}{5,*4_a,*1^2,0^4}
 \end{example}

 \option[\aTableauColour{Main}]{bead=colour}[a \LaTeX colour]

 The \option{bead} key sets  the bead colour.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus{2}{2^3,1} \qquad
 \Abacus[bead=black]{3}{4^3,2,1} \qquad
 \Abacus[bead=red]{4}{4^3,[ball color=blue]2,1}
 \end{example}

 The \option{bead} key changes the colour of every bead on the
 abacus. As shown, the colour of individual beads can be changed by
 applying the \TikZ-style \keyword{ball color} to the bead.

 \option[\textbackslash small]{bead font=font command}[\LaTeX\ font command]

 The \option{bead font} key sets the font used for the bead labels.
 By default, these labels are typeset as mathematics, so
 this is mainly useful for changing the font size (because, for example
 \keyword{\bfseries $1$} does not make the $1$ bold). It is only when
 you are using \option{text entries} that font commands like
 \keyword{\itshape} and \keyword{\bfseries} will have any effect.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus{3}{3_3,2^2,1^3} \qquad
 \Abacus[bead font=\tiny]{3}{3_3,2^2,1^3} \qquad
 \Abacus[text entries, bead font=\bfseries]{3}{3_3,2^2,1^3}
 \end{example}

 The \option{scale} key can also be used to resize abacuses.

 \option[0.4]{bead size=number}[decimal number, distance in \unit{cm}]
 \option*[0.42]{bead sep=number}[decimal number, distance in \unit{cm}]
 \option*[0.42]{runner sep=number}[decimal number, distance in \unit{cm}]

 These three keys control the size of the beads and the distance
 between them, so they would normally be used together. By default, the
 \emph{diameter} of the abacus beads is \qty{0.4}{cm}, the distance
 between adjacent beads on the same runner is \qty{.42}{cm}, and the
 distance between consecutive runners is \qty{0.42}{cm}.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[bead size=0.6,
         bead sep=0.65,
         runner sep=0.65]
 {3}{3_3,2^2,1^3}
 \end{example}

 As with tableau, you can also change the size of the abacuses using
 \option{scale}<abacus>, \option{xscale}<abacus> and
 \option{yscale}<abacus>. Changing these keys globally affects both
 abacuses and tableaux.

 \option[]{bead style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 The keys above are usually sufficient for fine-tuning the style of the
 abacus beads. Alternatively, the \option{bead style} key appends
 \TikZ-styling to the default bead style, which has many moving parts.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[bead style={shading=axis}, bead text=red] {3}{3_3,2^2,1^3} \qquad
 \Abacus[bead style={no shade, fill=aTableauMain}] {3}{3_3,2^2,1^3}
 \end{example}

 By default, the beads look like balls (they use the
 \TikZ-styling \keyword{shading=ball, ball color=}\aTableauColour{Main}).
 In contrast, the beads on the left look like go beads, and those
 on the right are flat.

 \option[white]{bead text=colour}[a \LaTeX~colour]

 The \option{bead text} key sets the text colour of the abacus labels.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[bead=blue, bead text=yellow] {3}{3_3,2^2,1^3}
 \end{example}

 \option[false]{beta numbers}[false/true]

 When \option{beta numbers} is set, the numbers in the bead
 specifications are entered as \emph{beta numbers}. The beta numbers
 give the bead positions, which are numbered $0,1,\dots$, starting from
 the first row and then continuing in this way in subsequent rows. More
 explicitly, if there are $e$ runners then the bead in row~$r$ and
 column~$c$ is in position $er+c$. Up to shift, bead numbers are first
 column hook lengths. In particular, beta numbers are pairwise
 distinct.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus{3}{3,2^2} \qquad
 \Abacus[beta numbers]{3}{5,3,2} \qquad
 \Abacus[beta numbers]{3}{6,4,3,[ball color=red]0}
 \end{example}

 There is no inverse key to \option{beta numbers}, however,
 \option{beta numbers=false} will remove the requirement to use beta
 numbers in the bead specifications.

 \option[]{dotted cols=column indices}[list of runner indices]<abacus>
 \option*[]{dotted rows=row indices}[list of row indices]<abacus>

 The \option{dotted rows}<abacus> and \option{dotted cols}<abacus> keys
 draw abacuses where the specified rows and columns are replaced with
 dots. This makes it possible to draw \emph{generic} abacuses, where
 the number of rows and columns is not fully specified. Note that for
 abacuses, both the row and column indexing starts from~$0$.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[dotted rows={2,4}]{4}{8,5,4,3,2,1} \qquad
 \Abacus[dotted cols={1,3},abacus ends=-*]{6}{9,8,5,4,3^3,2}
 \end{example}

 As with tableau, consecutive rows and columns are treated together.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[dotted rows={1,2,3}]{4}{8,5,4,3,2,1} \qquad
 \Abacus[dotted cols={1,2,3},abacus ends=-*]{6}{9,8,5,4,3^3,2}
 \end{example}

 Comparing these two examples shows that the beads and runners in the
 dotted rows and columns are removed by \option{dotted rows}<abacus>
 and \option{dotted cols}<abacus>, respectively. Named coordinates,
 for use with \option{name}<abacus>, are not created for the bead and
 tick positions on the dotted rows and columns.

 The \option{dotted cols}<abacus> ad \option{dotted rows}<abacus> keys
 can be used together, in which case the \option{dotted rows}<abacus>
 are removed first, after which the \option{dotted cols}<abacus> are
 removed. The output may need to be adjusted if the dotted rows and
 columns overlap.  For example, consider the abacus:

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[dotted cols={2,3},
         dotted rows={2,3}
 ]{6}{26,21^2,5^2,3,2^2,0^2}
 \end{example}

 The cross-hatched dots in the centre of the abacus are not ideal. The
 following trick addresses this:

 \begin{example}[lefthand width=0.16\textwidth, label=Ex:DottedAbacus]
 \Abacus[dotted cols={2,3}, dotted rows={2,3},
   tikz after = {
     \draw[aTableau/clearBoxes](A-1-1.south east)rectangle(A-4-4.north west);
     \draw[aTableau/dottedLine](A-1-1.south east)--(A-4-4.north west);
   }
 ]{6}{26,21^2,5^2,3,2^2,0^2}
 \end{example}

 \option[]{entries=value}[betas, residues, rows, shape]<abacus>

 Like the \option{entries} key for tableaux, the
 \option{entries}<abacus> key for abacuses provides a shortcut for
 labelling the abacus beads by some common choices. The possible
 choices are:

 \begin{itemize}

   \item\option{entries=betas}\index{entries!beta}\index{beta numbers!entries}
   \label{beta numbers!abacuses}
   Labels the beads by the corresponding \emph{beta numbers}.
 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[entries=betas]{3}{3,2^2,0^2} \qquad
 \Abacus[entries=betas]{4}{3,2^2,1^3,0^2}
 \end{example}

 \item\option{entries=residues}\index{entries!residues}
 Labels the beads by their residues. Unlike for tableaux, it is not
 necessary to specify the quantum characteristic \option{e}<abacus>,
 because this is determined by the number of runners and the
 \option{cartan}<abacus> type. You can override this by setting
 \option{e}<abacus> manually.
 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[entries=residues,]{3}{3,2^2,0^2} \qquad
 \Abacus[entries=residues, cartan=C]
   {4}{3,2^2,1^3,0^2}
 \end{example}

 \AddKeyLink{e-abacus}
 \AddKeyLink{charge-abacus}
 \AddKeyLink{cartan-abacus}
 \noindent
 As with (multi)tableau, use the \option{charge}<abacus> key to
 add an offset to the residues, and the \option{cartan}<abacus> key for
 residues of other Cartan types.

 \item\option{entries=rows}\index{entries!rows}
 Labels the beads by their rows index of the corresponding part in the
 partition.
 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[entries=rows]{3}{3,2^2,0^2} \qquad
 \Abacus[entries=rows]{4}{3,2^2,1^3,0^2}
 \end{example}
 \noindent
 As shown, the beads corresponding to zero parts of the corresponding
 partition are marked with a dash, since there is no corresponding row
 in partition for such beads.

 \item\option{entries=shape}\index{entries!partition}
 Labels the beads by their shape. That is, each bead is labelled by the
 corresponding by the corresponding part of the partition.
 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[entries=shape]{3}{3,2^2,0^2} \qquad
 \Abacus[entries=shape]{4}{3,2^2,1^3,0^2}
 \end{example}

 \end{itemize}

 \option[A]{name=text}{text}

 Just like the tableaux commands, the \keyword{abacus} command defines
 named coordinates for all of the \emph{beads} and \emph{ticks} on the
 abacus. By default, the named coordinates take the form
 $(\mathsf{A{-}r{-}c})$, for the bead or tick in row~$r$ and column~$c$ of the
 abacus. Note that for abacuses, both the row and column indexing starts
 from~$0$. The key \option{name} changes the prefix used for the names.
 For example, after \option{name=X} the bead and tick names take the
 form~$(\mathsf{X{-}r{-}c})$.

 \begin{Example}[label=Ex:BeadPositions]
   \Abacus[name=X,
     tikz after={
       \draw[orange,<-,thick] (X-0-0.west) -- ++(-1,0)
           node[blue,align=left,anchor=east] {Empty bead\\ position};
       \draw[red,<-,thick] (X-2-2.east) -- ++(2,0)
           node[blue,align=left,anchor=west] {First part of\\the partition};
   }]{3}{4^3,1^2}
 \end{Example}

 \option[]{no shade}[]

 The abacus balls are drawn with the \TikZ style
 \keyword{shading=ball}.  As noted in \autoref{Ex:NoShade}, you can
 disable the \TikZ-ball shading for individual beads using the \TikZ-style \keyword{no shade}. The
 \option{no shade} key disables the ball shading for \emph{all} beads,
 which allows you to fully customise how the abacus beads are
 displayed.

 \begin{example}
   \Abacus[no shade, bead text=red]{3}{3_1,2_2,2_3} \qquad
   \Abacus[bead style={no shade, shape=diamond,
     fill=brown, text=yellow}]{3}{3_1,2_2,2_3,0^2}
 \end{example}

 As the first example shows, if you use the \option{no shade} key then
 you need to define a new style for the abacus beads. As the second
 example shows, rather than using \option{no shade} as an
 \keyword{\Abacus} key, you can use it inside \option{bead style} as a
 \TikZ-style. (We include the \option{no shade} option partly for
 convenience and partly to advertise how to use it.)

 \option[]{rows=row index}[non-negative integer]<abacus>

 By default, the \keyword{\Abacus} command uses the smallest number of
 rows necessary to display all of the beads on the abacus. Use
 \option{rows}<abacus> to change the number of rows displayed. If you use
 the \option{rows}<abacus> key, then it is your responsibility to ensure that
 the abacus has enough rows to display all of the beads.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus{3}{3,2^2,0^2} \qquad
 \Abacus[rows=4]{3}{3,2^2,0^2} \qquad
 \Abacus[rows=5]{3}{3,2^2,0^2}
 \end{example}

 \option[draw=\aTableauColour{Inner}]{runner=colour}[a \LaTeX colour]
 \option*[very thick]{runner style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 Use \option{runner} to set the colour of abacus runners.

 \begin{example}
   \Abacus{3}{3,2^2} \qquad
   \Abacus[runner=red]{3}{5,3,2,0^2} \qquad
   \Abacus[runner=brown, bead=blue]
     {3}{6,4,3,[ball color=red]0^2}
 \end{example}

 The \option{runner style} key appends \TikZ-styling to the abacus
 runner style.

 \begin{example}
   \Abacus[runner style={dashed}]{3}{3,2^2} \quad
 \end{example}

 \option[]{runner labels=labels}{list of labels for the abacus runners}
 \option*[font=\textbackslash scriptsize, text=\aTableauColour{Inner}]{runner label style=style}[\TikZ-styling]

 The \option{runner labels} key adds labels to the each runner. An
 error if given if the number of labels does not match the number of
 runners. Use \option{runner label style} to change the style of the
 label.

 \begin{example}
 \Abacus[runner labels={1,2,0},
    entries=residues]{3}{3,2^2,0^2} \qquad
 \Abacus[runner labels={2,3,0,1}, entries=residues,
   runner label style={circle, draw=cyan, inner sep=0pt,
   minimum size=2.5mm}] {4}{5,3,2^2,0^2}
 \end{example}

 As with the \option{label} key for tableau, the runner labels are
 typeset as mathematics, by default.

 \option[\aTableauColour{Inner}]{tick=colour}[a \LaTeX colour]
 \option*[semithick]{tick style=style}[\TikZ-styling]
 \option*[0.1]{tick length=number}[length in \unit{cm}]

 These three keys control the ticks on the abacus runners, which mark
 the empty bead positions. Use \option{tick} to the colour of the
 ticks on the abacus runners. The other two key have the obvious meanings.

 \begin{example}
   \Abacus[tick=red]{3}{6,4,3,1,0} \qquad
   \Abacus[tick style={ultra thick,orange}]{3}{6,4,3,1,0} \qquad
   \Abacus[tick length=0.3]{3}{6,4,3,1,0} \qquad
 \end{example}

 \section{Examples from the literature}

 This section shows how to draw some tableaux that appear in the
 literature. All of these diagrams predate this package. The aim of
 this section is to show how these pictures can be drawn using this
 package.

 Diagrams like the following are common. Note the use of a ribbon to
 add the $\alpha$ in row~$6$ and column~$8$.

 \begin{example}
 \Diagram[french, no boxes, ribbons={*68_\alpha}]
   {15,13,12,9,8^2,5,3}
 \end{example}

 Mendes~ \cite{Mendes:hooks} uses tableaux like these to give a new
 proof of the Murnaghan-Nakayama rule.

 \begin{example}
   \tikzset{C/.style={circle,draw=blue,
             minimum size=3.5mm, fill=white,thick}}
   \Diagram[paths={
     [C]13_1cc_\bullet, [C]21_2r_\bullet,
     [C]23_3c_\bullet, [C]14_4
   }]{4,3,1} \qquad
   \Diagram[path style={rounded corners},
     paths={[C]12_1cr_\bullet, [C]14_2c_\bullet,
       [C]23_3c_\bullet, [C]31_4}]{4,3,1}
 \end{example}

 The following ribbon tableau comes from a nice paper by
 Fayers~\cite{Fayers:DyckTilings}, which is uses Dyck tilings to
 understand homogeneous Garnir relations for KLR algebras of type~$A$.

 \begin{example}
 \RibbonTableau[skew={1^2}, ukrainian, scale=0.7,
   ribbons={(draw=none)21_m}
 ]{
    12,16c_\circ c_\circ c_\circ r_\circ r_\circ *r,
    18crcccrr*r,19,1{10},1{11},1{12},
    22,29crcccrr*rccrcrr,
    2{12}ccrcrcccrr*r_lccrcrrr,
    31,*32,41,42,51,52,53,
    62cr,81,91,{10}1,{10}2,{11}1,{11}2
 }
 \end{example}

 The entries of a tableau are usually single characters, or numbers,
 but they can be more complicated. The paper
 \cite{bowman2023quiverpresentationsisomorphismshecke} contains
 tableaux with entries that are \emph{symbols}, which are produced by
 the \keyword{\Symb} command below.

 \begin{example}
 \newcommand\Symb[2]{\genfrac{}{}{0pt}{}{#1}{#2}}
 \Tableau[ukrainian, box font=\scriptsize,
    tikz after = {\draw[ultra thick, red]
       (A-2-3.east)--(A-2-2.south)--(A-3-2.west)
                   --(A-3-3.north)--cycle;
 }]{
    {\Symb11}{\Symb11}{\Symb11}{\Symb0s},
    {\Symb11}{\Symb11}{\Symb11}{\Symb0s},
    {\Symb11}{\Symb11}{\Symb{s^*}s}{\Symb0f},
    {\Symb11}{\Symb11}{\Symb11},
    {\Symb11}{\Symb11}
 }
 \end{example}

 The next example, also from
 \cite{bowman2023quiverpresentationsisomorphismshecke}, is a little
 more involved. Most of the diagram is drawn using \emph{pics} from
 \TikZ, which are a good way to add repeating features to a
 \keyword{tikzpicture}. In the code below, \emph{pics} are used to add
 the up and down strings to this drawing, taking as input the string
 colour, the starting box, the list of the boxes the strings goes
 through, and the final box.  At the risk of further obfuscation, this
 could be done a little more efficiently. From the perspective of this
 manual, the most interesting feature of this picture is that it is a
 non-trivial example that uses the named nodes for
 the tableaux boxes; see \autoref{E:NodeNames}.

\begin{Example}[label=Ex:waves]
\begin{tikzpicture}[
  Cap/.style={out=45, in=135}, % caps are drawn with to[Cap]
  Cup/.style={out=315,in=225}, % cups are drawn with to[Cup]

 \section{Summary of \aTableau commands and options}\label{S:keys}
 \rowcolors{2}{LightSkyBlue!10}{}

 For this impatient, this section compactly lists the \aTableau
 commands and their options. The sections above show these commands and
 options are used, with examples.

 The \aTableau package provides the following commands:

 \begin{center}
   \begin{tabular}{Lll}\toprule
     \large\sffamily\color{MidnightBlue}Command
                    & \large\sffamily\color{MidnightBlue} Picture
                    & \large\sffamily\color{MidnightBlue} Section \\\midrule
     Abacus         & An abacus for a partition         & \autoref{S:Abacus}\\
     Diagram        & A Young diagram for a partition   & \autoref{S:Diagram}\\
     Multidiagram   & An $\ell$-tuple of Young diagrams & \autoref{S:Multitableau} \\
     Multitableau   & An  $\ell$-tuple of tableaux      & \autoref{S:Multitableau} \\
     RibbonTableau  & A ribbon tableau                  & \autoref{S:RibbonTableaux} \\
     ShiftedDiagram & A shifted Young diagram           & \autoref{S:Shifted} \\
     ShiftedTableau & A shifted tableau                 & \autoref{S:Shifted} \\
     SkewDiagram    & A skew Young diagram              & \autoref{S:Skew} \\
     SkewTableau    & A skew tableau                    & \autoref{S:Skew} \\
     Tableau        & A tableau                         & \autoref{S:Tableau} \\
     Tabloid        & A tabloid                         & \autoref{S:Tabloid} \\
     \bottomrule
   \end{tabular}
 \end{center}

 In addition, the \keyword{\aTabset} command is provided for setting
 can default \aTableau values for the \aTableau options.

 For easier reference, here is the list of the \aTableau keys, together
 with a quick explanation of what they do. The last two columns
 indicate whether the options apply to tableau (and diagrams), or to
 abacuses~--- or both!  Options starting with \keyword{(no)} are a pair
 of boolean options and their inverses. If not given a true or false
 value then they are implicitly set to true. Although not explicitly
 listed, spelling variations of keys from the American dialect
 of English are tolerated.

 Both the key names and the green ticks below are hyperlinks to the
 relevant sections of the manual.

 \newcommand\heading[1]{\textcolor{MidnightBlue}{\textsf{\large#1}}}
 \rowcolors{2}{LightSkyBlue!10}{}
 \begin{xltabular}{0.9\textwidth}{l>{\raggedright}Xcc}\toprule

 \emph{Most readers should ignore the following two subsections.}

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsection{\aTableau Colours}\label{S:Colours}

 The \aTableau package defines and uses the following colours:

 \rowcolors{2}{LightSkyBlue!10}{}
 \begin{center}
   \begin{tabular}{lll}\toprule
     \heading{Colour} & \heading{Name} & \heading{HTML}\\
      \midrule
      \aTableauColour{Inner}     & aTableauInner     & 0073E6 \\
      \aTableauColour{Main}      & aTableauMain      & 00008B \\
      \aTableauColour{SkewFill}  & aTableauSkewFill  & F8F8F8 \\
      \aTableauColour{Skew}      & aTableauSkew      & 818589 \\
      \aTableauColour{StarStyle} & aTableauStarStyle & E6F7FF \\
      \bottomrule
   \end{tabular}
 \end{center}

 All of these colours are defined as HTML colours using the
 \keyword{\definecolor} command provided by \ctan{xcolor}.

 We recommend using the key-value interface to change the
 colours used in the pictures created by \aTableau, rather than
 changing these colours. It is sometimes useful to be able to use these
 colour names directly in your own styles.

 % --------------------------------------------------------------
 \subsection{\aTableau styles}\label{S:TikZStyles}

 This package is little than a glorified interface to some \TikZ
 commands. Under the hood there are many custom \TikZ styles that control the
 pictures drawn by the \aTableau package. It is possible, and sometimes
 useful (see, for example, \autoref{Ex:DottedAbacus}), to use these
 styles in your own drawings.
 The key-value interface to the \aTableau commands is the recommended
 way of changing these styles. You can, if you want, change these
 styles directly using \keyword{\tikzset}, but there is a risk that you
 may break some of the \aTableau commands if you do this. If you do
 change these styles, we strongly recommend that you \emph{append} to
 these styles rather than setting them directly.

 \begin{center}
   \begin{xltabular}{0.9\textwidth}{ll}\toprule
      \heading{Names} & \heading{Adds \TikZ-styling to...}\\
      \midrule
      aTableau/innerWall        & Inner tableau walls\\
      aTableau/borderStyle      & Tableau borders \\
      aTableau/skewBorder       & Skew tableau borders \\
      aTableau/boxStyle         & Tableau boxes\\
      aTableau/skewBox          & Skew tableau boxes \\
      aTableau/pathBox          & Boxes on paths \\
      aTableau/ribbonBox        & Boxes on ribbons \\
      aTableau/snobBox          & Boxes on snobs \\
      aTableau/pathStyle        & Paths \\
      aTableau/ribbonStyle      & Ribbons \\
      aTableau/snobStyle        & Snobs \\
      aTableau/labelStyle       & Tableau labels \\
      aTableau/tableauStarStyle & Star style for tableaux \\
      aTableau/clearBoxes       & Erase material. Used by \option{dotted rows} and \option{dotted cols}\\
      aTableau/dottedLine       & Adds dotted lines. Used by \option{dotted rows} and \option{dotted cols}\\
      aTableau/separatorSymbol  & Separators in multitableau\\
      aTableau/separatorLine    & Separator lines in multitableau\\
      aTableau/leftDelimiter    & Left delimiter in multitableau\\
      aTableau/rightDelimiter   & Right delimiter in multitableau\\
      aTableau/beadStyle        & Abacus beads\\
      aTableau/runnerStyle      & Abacus runners\\
      aTableau/runnerLabelStyle & Style of abacus runner labels\\
      aTableau/abacusEnds       & Tops and bottoms of abacuses\\
      aTableau/abacusStarStyle  & Abacus stars \\
      aTableau/tickStyle        & Abacus ticks \\
      \bottomrule
   \end{xltabular}
 \end{center}

 Most of these styles are quite basic, but some of them are more
 involved, which is why we recommend not changing them directly. In
 some cases, such as the tableau boxes, the \TikZ styling does not
 fully control the rendering of these features. Most of these styles
 can be augmented by styles supplied by the key-value interface, which
 is another reason to avoid changing them directly.

 \section{Feature requests and bug reports}

 Please make any feature requests and bug reports on the package github
 page
 \begin{center}
   \href{https://github.com/AndrewMathas/aTableau/}{github.com/AndrewMathas/aTableau/}.
 \end{center}
 Please give as much detail as possible when making such requests.

 Bug reports must be a accompanied by a \textit{minimal working
 example}, which is the smallest possible amount of \LaTeX\ code that
 demonstrates the problem and compiles, unless you are reporting a
 problem that gives a compilation error in which case your example
 should give the error. This is necessary because if I cannot reproduce
 your problem, then it is unlikely that I will be able to fix it.
