A section link names the TEXT of a heading: :section alone means the current
file, a value names the file of the same @document that has it. Resolved by
@document at assembly in html and tex; errors for a missing file, a missing
title, a doubled title and a link outside a @document. The Markdown
converter reads a Markdown anchor as a section link to the heading its slug
names. Also from dev: the converter's four silent defects fixed and --chapter
(9ae2c4cd), and the engine's alone-value error text.

- @image under txt and ansi is a picture in characters, in five styles
(Image_txt_style: halfblock the default, shade, ascii, quadrant,
braille), sized to the terminal's width less a margin when ktext runs
in one, every cell in its own colours under ansi; a figure's caption
is centred under it and no txt caption is ruled off any more.
- The build compiles as many files at once as the machine has cores
(JOBS; make -C com JOBS=1 for a small machine): the sub-makes' bare -j
meant unlimited parallelism and exhausted 8 GB machines. The three
install pages say "make -C com".

Assembled from klammertext-dev e99530408517. The katom rewrite patterns
are rendered from ref/ (a table in dispatch order, patterns through @c),
the procedural listing having left mac/; a plain-text caption's rule is
as long as the table or listing it captions; the editor-support comments
name the tools' new dev/ location.
kdesc --katoms is Klammertext rendered from ref/, the types in titled groups,
with --katoms full for the regex column. @table :leading L is L lines of the
surrounding text in html as in pdf (default 1), and :rulesep spaces the
horizontal rules. The html table has one style attribute, so :column_width
fractions take effect again. @code and @source_listing render in plain
text; captions are numbered per kind there, and a table needs no blank line
around it. @c takes :nd, and an option-shaped word before a bar inside
literal code is code.

Section headings under txt are numbered inside a @document only; @typeface
gains :middle and :lift and its :scale now means the same in html and
pdf; NewGardinerOmni ships (OFL 1.1, Mark-Jan Nederhof) and @egyptian /
@chinese replace @cjk; @table :leading and :colsep reach html; kdesc
--typeface help names the flag; @document.txt is a Python class.

Also: the klammertext argtype (descriptions kept as source), txt table
wrapping and :hpos/:offset, @c between ‹ ›, txt section headings, the
ktext newline-only trim, capitalize(), and the argtype test suite.

Since the previous release: Machine::read_string() (the fs::path/std::string
overload pair split); kdesc -c and -u rendered from the ref/ reflection
klammerset; a fit column's tex width measured in TeX over every entry;
@typeface resolving to the family its css declares (a store directory name
now works in html) and hieroglyphs in @unicode_examples set in their
typeface; the ansi target -- plain text with the type styles a terminal can
show, identical to txt once the escape sequences are stripped -- with the
txt @table carrying :header_style, :style and :hline; @block anchoring,
@table spacing and the Image_quality state variable; and the rewritten
doc/klammertext_for_llm.md.
A character written in the ^...^ mnemonic form -- ^oe^, ^zz^, ^hello^ --
used to kill ktext outright: no message, no output, and an exit status
that looked like a crash because it was one. Only the forms that happen
to spell hexadecimal digits escaped, and they were right by luck rather
than by reading. Any caret form that names no character is now a located
error that quotes what was written.
A klammer may now sit inside square brackets and braces as it already
could inside parentheses, and may be followed by the punctuation that
ends a sentence: [@i word@], {@b word@}, @i word@'s. The rule is a fixed
list of characters, because none of them can occur inside a klammer name
and so none of them is ambiguous next to a delimiter. A letter still
cannot: "x@" is the named closing delimiter, so a letter before "@" has
two readings and no rule can separate them.
The abbreviations an author writes -- the hyphen form @i-word, a klammer
glued to its neighbouring punctuation -- are now recognised as author
conveniences only. They are not applied to @@ definitions or @@@ system
commands, which are written by someone who needs no such shorthand and
whose forms are already whole.
Also fixed, each of them silent: an exported shell function in the
environment broke every @eval in the document; a line break written with
@nl was destroyed when it passed through a klammer that generates a
table, printing as \textbackslash{}newline in the finished PDF; and
"kdesc --coverage" shortened its file column by comparing the spelling of
a path rather than the path, so a klammer set reached by a symbolic link
showed a full path where its neighbours showed a short one.
New in the distribution: ref/, a small klammerset that describes the
Klammermachine's own tables in Klammertext. It currently provides the
character tables -- the diacritics and the extended Latin letters -- as
klammers that render to any target, so the documentation of what can be
written cannot drift from what the machine accepts. It is early, and
will grow.
The Klammertext taxonomy now has a section on targets, describes the
@@@klammerset system command alongside the other three, and states the
precedence of "^" -- what a caret means before a letter, a digit, a
punctuation character, and a quote, in one ordered list.
(from dev 6594c7ff8c1f)
A @table now renders to txt. What it needed settled how plain text sets
a block off from the prose around it, which is by INDENTING it: that is
the only structural device the medium has, where html and LaTeX have
boxes, rules and space. An indented block is one that has already been
laid out, and the target leaves its lines alone.
A caption is placed above a table or a listing and below a figure, in
every target rather than only in plain text. A figure is taken in at a
glance, and the caption then names what the reader has already seen; a
table is read, and a reader who meets the rows before the subject has to
read them twice.
Also fixed, all three of them silent: an indented paragraph was dropped
from plain-text output rather than left as written; an @indent block was
re-flowed, so the indentation of its later lines appeared as gaps in the
middle of a line; and a table captioned with ":number false" lost the
rule under its caption, while an unnumbered table wrongly consumed a
number that a reader counting captions would then find missing.
(from dev 8173c371bba6)
Typographic transforms (---, quote pairs, ~) no longer touch verbatim
text: @c/@code/@source_listing content and ^'...'^ spans show exactly the
characters written. "^" before any punctuation character quotes it in
every target (the apostrophe excepted: ^' opens a literal span), with the
new :resolve option on @@@target declaring per-target renderings. The
^UUUU^ code-point form accepts 4-6 hex digits, the full Unicode range.
The html output and transform spellings are polyglot (XML-valid), in
preparation for an EPUB target. New suites: transform_test, character_test
(engine), typography_test (SKS).
(from dev 07ce5ea86a0a)
Quoted Klammertext specials (^@ ^| ^# ^^ ^: ^*) and ^'...'^ regions now
survive re-processing (held as escape markers until final output);
:after_apply phase functions receive and return raw target text.
Tables: :hpos element position (center|left|right|<length>) replaces the
unimplemented :center/:indent; the ranged cell override is renamed
:justify; :column_width works in html (colgroup widths) and gains
'fill' -- the remaining width, capped at the column's widest entry, in
both targets; a table wider than the text column warns on the console;
table edges without an outer line set their text flush on the margins.
@document: no empty title bar for untitled documents; @vfill fills to
the bottom of the window in html (pure CSS); @vspace in plain text;
new @dot klammer; monospace email links.
Curated source subset assembled by klammertext-dev's doc/make_dist.sh: the Klammermachine (mac), the Standard Klammer Set (sks), the commands (com), editor plugins and install guides (doc), a test subset (tst), and lib/bin placeholders. Builds with 'make -C com'.
