Andy Kopra 7075be2c43 VS Code extension installs via a hand-built .vsix (from dev 83e472a94ed3)
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`.

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 83e472a96e36.
