Andy Kopra 6e7596ab2e Option sets: a .o target for shared parameters
A named group of optional parameters, declared once and used by several
klammers, so a writer learns one vocabulary instead of a spelling per
klammer.  The "o" target is a pseudo-target beside "k": "k" declares a
klammer's interface and documents it, "o" declares an option interface and
documents it, and neither produces output for any target.

A set is used only in the parameter list of a ".k" declaration -- the one
place a klammer's interface is declared once for all of its targets -- and
is resolved as that list is read.  Names and types come from the set; a
default may be overridden where it is used.  A klammer application in a
parameter list is now a definition-time error.

The SKS gains the sets caption_args and hpos_args (:hpos and :offset), and
@table, @image, @image_grid, @reference and @show gain .k declarations.  A
distance is no longer written as a position: :hpos 4em is rejected, and the
same layout is :hpos left :offset 4em.  Code listings are numbered by
default, like tables and figures.

New engine sources mac/option_set{,_registry}.{h,cpp}; tst/ ships two more
suites, option_set_test.sh and signature_test.sh (twelve in all).

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).

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 34e536cb0329.
