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)
Klammertext
Klammertext is a markup language that produces multiple output formats — HTML, LaTeX/PDF, and plain text — from a single source description. Its core engine, the Klammermachine, is written in C++; the Standard Klammer Set (SKS) adds a default library of formatting and document-structuring operators on top.
Installing
Installation guides are in doc/install/:
- Linux, from source —
doc/install/linux_source_install.md - macOS, from source —
doc/install/macos_source_install.md - Linux, container —
doc/install/linux_container_install.md - macOS, container —
doc/install/macos_container_install.md
Building from source
With a C++20 compiler and KLAMMERTEXT_HOME set to this directory:
make -C com
This builds the Klammermachine library (into lib/), the SKS components, and
the three commands — ktext, kdesc, kdiag (into bin/). See the
source-install guide for prerequisites (TeX Live for PDF output, Python, and so
on).
Working with an AI assistant
If you use a language model to help write Klammertext, give it
doc/klammertext_for_llm.md. It is a dense
reference written for a model rather than a person: the syntax, the things a
model is most likely to assume wrongly about it (Klammertext is not LaTeX,
Markdown, or Lisp, and reads oddly if you expect any of them), and how to ask
the kdesc and kdiag commands for the current state of the machine instead
of guessing.
Editor support
Editing support for Emacs, Sublime Text, Vim, and Visual Studio Code —
syntax highlighting, delimiter matching, structural reindentation, table
alignment, diagnostics — is in doc/edit/, together with the
shared implementation and the Klammertext language server they build on.
Provenance
This repository is a curated snapshot of Klammertext's private development tree, assembled by a manifest-driven script. Its history is a series of release snapshots, not a mirror of the development history, and files here are regenerated on each release — patches cannot be merged directly. Report problems (or send patches) to the author; accepted changes are applied to the development tree and appear in a following snapshot.
This snapshot was assembled from development commit 07ce5ea86a0a.
