- CRLF line endings are read as newlines on every system (the reader used
to delete the pair, collapsing a Notepad++ file into one line on Linux
and macOS); a leading UTF-8 byte-order mark is ignored; a UTF-16 or
Windows-1252 source is refused with the encoding, the place and the
remedy named. .gitattributes pins LF in every clone.
- Windows source install: the repository path must hold no space (GNU
Make), accented letters are fine (every linker input is relative now);
python.org's Python is selected ahead of an MSYS2 one that poppler pulls
in; TeX Live goes to its Windows default C:\texlive\2026.
- The Python binding needs an ASCII installation path on Windows, and its
suite says so there.

Assembled from development commit c3c40f6c8fca. Since 830b193: on Windows the
products carry Windows names (ktext.exe, klammertext.dll, document.dll,
reflect.dll) and the console's output code page is UTF-8 for a run; the
editor tooling works on Windows (VS Code, Sublime Text, Vim, with the
interpreter's name chosen by platform) and Notepad++ joins it
(doc/edit/notepadpp: a User Defined Language and two Run-menu commands);
a sixth install page, doc/install/windows_wsl_install.md, for Linux
inside WSL; the Windows page opens with the three routes and gains its
editor section, the PowerShell quoting and Path notes; the Linux page
installs OpenImageIO from the python3-openimageio package and verifies
with kdiag --machine; the README lists all six install pages. Linux and
macOS behaviour is unchanged.
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.
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)
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)
The @@@klammerset system command formally declares a klammerset — a
named, logically related group of klammer definitions — with an
operative, idempotent declaration (:requires and :files load in order
at the declaration point, relative to the declaring file). A bare
symbol given to ktext -k, kdesc --input, or :requires resolves to
x/x.k on the search path: the document's directory, then
KLAMMERTEXT_KLAMMERSETS, then KLAMMERTEXT_HOME; kdesc --klammerset
lists the available sets. sks/sks.k is the first declared klammerset,
so `-k sks` loads the SKS by name. The engine's lookup classes were
renamed *_set → *_registry to keep the two concepts apart, and the
whole C++ tree now follows standard const-correctness conventions.
tst/ gains klammerset_test.sh (18 cases).
(from dev 64b1abf23e56)
klammertext-align.el calls string-trim, string-blank-p, and
string-empty-p without requiring subr-x. Newer Emacs has that library
loaded already; on Emacs 27 -- what Ubuntu 22.04 and Pop!_OS 22.04 ship
-- the symbols are void and table alignment fails with "Symbol's
function definition is void: string-blank-p". The README now states
Emacs 27.1 as the supported floor.
(from dev 43a4ce7dea2a)
Folder copies into ~/.vscode/extensions no longer load in modern VS Code;
make_vsix.sh packages the extension (bash + python3 only) and the README
installs it with `code --install-extension`.

doc/edit/ now holds a shared Python implementation of the language's
structural layer (klammertext_edit.py) and a dependency-free language
server (klammertext_ls.py), with integrations for Emacs, Sublime Text,
Vim, and Visual Studio Code. The editor test suite in tst/ covers the
core's API and CLI, the language server protocol, the VS Code
extension, headless Vim, and Emacs byte-equality.

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'.
