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.
