Commands vs options for setting up a document: what an own document class should provide?
Package option vs setup commandHow can one undefine an already processed class option?Best practice for setting package options through class options?When writing my own document class, certain options don't get passed to base class. Why?Line break (continuation) for commands (options, arguments)Aligning image and text in new command in TikZWhat is the best practice for arithmetic operations specially for package/class writing?Commands for getting and setting additional elements in a class and documentBest way to manage internationalisation of a class?Using later-defined commands in an own document classSetting geometry as an option in my own class
This question somehow extends the question "Package option vs setup command".
I'm currently writing a class dedicated to students reports for both academic projects and internships. This class provides a reportsetup command that lets the user setting things up via keys/values.
For example, one thing that can be set up is the company's name of the internship. It appears that this could be done both:
- via a command
companyname{⟨name⟩}, - via an option
reportsetup{companyname = ⟨name⟩},
and this, whether the class considers the company's name mandatory or not: both commands and options may be mandatory or optional.
This is just an example but potentially applies to all commands all classes (or packages) could provide.
What would be the best between these two practices?
