Klammertext runs natively on Windows; a Windows source-install guide; the bundled sh for @eval :shell
Assembled from klammertext-dev f344a37d772c. The commands, the library,
the Standard Klammer Set, the reflection klammerset and the Python
binding build and run natively on Windows (MSYS2 UCRT64 gcc, python.org
Python), and both test tiers pass there. doc/install/windows_source_install.md
is the fifth install guide: a source install parallel to the Linux and
macOS ones, verified by following it on a pristine Windows 11.
Behaviour on every system: paths Klammertext prints use forward slashes;
output is LF; the command line is UTF-8 on Windows; @eval :shell is a
POSIX shell command everywhere -- on Windows it runs the sh Klammertext
ships, BusyBox for Windows (win/busybox/, GPLv2, with its licence and the
source pointer). KLAMMERTEXT_FONTS and KLAMMERTEXT_KLAMMERSETS are lists in
the system's PATH convention (';' on Windows). On Linux and macOS nothing
observable changes.

Characters that killed a render, what may sit next to a klammer, and ref/
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.

An output policy for the three commands, and @cond as a true special form
A snapshot of the development tree. The substantial changes since the last one:
COMMAND OUTPUT POLICY. The three commands display text in exactly three cases,
and each owns a stream: LOGGING under "-v" greater than 0 and an ERROR before
termination go to STDERR; OUTPUT THE USER ASKED FOR goes to STDOUT. For ktext
that output is a document, so "ktext doc.kt -d | ..." is now safe -- logging
used to share the stream and land inside the document. A bare command prints
its usage and succeeds rather than failing. Colour is emitted only to a
terminal, per stream, and NO_COLOR is honoured.
"-v 1" reports every decision whose outcome you could not have read off your own
input: the klammerset that was loaded and from which file, a font's directory, a
":files" name's file, how "-o" was expanded. Higher levels are the trace.
The commands no longer warn and continue: an anomaly is an error, described with
its location. Two exceptions remain, each for a stated reason -- a condition
that is expected and temporary by design, and a judgment that is a heuristic
rather than exact.
@cond IS NOW A TRUE SPECIAL FORM, resolved at APPLICATION time rather than when
the file is read. Two consequences for a writer:
* a state variable reaches the predicate. "@@@state Flag :value true @@@
@cond *Flag* | T | F @" renders "T"; it used to see the literal "*Flag*" and
silently take the false branch. The document now behaves like a klammer
body, whose arguments are bound before its conditionals are decided.
* nothing in a discarded branch happens -- it is not read, not evaluated, not
expanded. An @eval in the branch not taken used to run anyway.
Its predicate relation is total and strict: true, True, 1; false, False, 0, and
empty; anything else is an error at the @cond rather than silently false.
@eval REACHING OUTSIDE. ":shell" and ":haskell" now keep the command's standard
error out of the document (it appears under "-v 1") and treat a nonzero exit as
an error naming what the command reported. A command that exits nonzero on
purpose -- "grep" finding no match -- says so with "|| true".
KLAMMER SETS. Several combine: "--klammersets a b c" loads all three in the
order given, sharing one namespace, with the definition modes deciding
collisions. "none" means none and may not be combined with other symbols. A
klammerset with symbol X is declared in a file X/X.k, which is what lets two
sets require the same third set without loading it twice.
TESTS. Four new suites: the kdiag command's interface, the @eval primitive's
contract with the outside world, and verbosity at both tiers. Three suites
that could not run on macOS at all now do.
Assembled from dev commit 6c8ee6c22fca.

Target coverage: a klammer states the targets it serves
kdesc gains --coverage, which reports for every klammer the set of targets it can render to, and — the point of it — which klammers' coverage cannot be derived and must therefore be declared. Three rules: coverage is DERIVED where the definitions determine it (a general body of klammer calls covers the intersection of what those klammers cover, by a greatest fixpoint after loading), DECLARED where the engine cannot interpret what decides it (an @eval body, whose targets are undecidable), and UNKNOWN where nothing is written — which never means "deliberately unavailable". Two new spellings in a definition's name. A comma-separated target list, "@@table.html,tex :: ...", gives one body several targets; it is surface syntax, expanded at registration, and each member goes through the redefinition rules on its own. And "@@date.* :: ..." writes the general target out, asserting that the klammer works for EVERY target including ones not yet defined — a stronger claim than a list of the targets defined today, and the one target declaration that could be mechanically falsified. The Standard Klammer Set was swept accordingly: it now has no general definitions at all, every klammer names the targets it serves, six use ".*", and tex and pdf are at zero undecided. kdesc's flags are reorganised on two rules: a flag reached for often gets a single letter (-k klammers, -t targets, -c characters, -i input), a more specialised topic a multi-letter name (--argtypes, --katoms, --rewrite, --optionsets, --coverage, --klammerset, --font); and -v says how much to show about PROCESSING, never what the RESULT contains — so the katom regex column is "--katoms full" and the coverage detail "--coverage all". NOTE: "-k" now lists klammers (optionally filtered by a name/description search); the katom table moved to "--katoms". Fixes carried along: an option written with no value crashed the command with SIGSEGV instead of reporting the mistake; two required positional arguments never parsed; kdesc and kdiag printed an error and exited 0; and definition diagnostics counted registrations rather than what was written, so one line could be reported as two definitions and then printed twice. Four new test suites: target_list, coverage, command_option, kdesc. (from dev 46f54080bd9a) |
