Optional provides simple, flexible, optional compilation of LaTeX documents. Option switches may be given via package options, by the \UseOption command, or interactively via the \AskOption command (help text may be provided, by defining the \ExplainOptions command). The package is not robust, in the way that comment package is, against ill-behaved text. In particular, verbatim text may not be directly included in optional sections (whether they're included or not). Package documentation is included in comments within the package itself.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
Problem reports, updates or suggestions for this package should be reported with send-pr.
