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/`](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`](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/`](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`.
