Since the previous release: Machine::read_string() (the fs::path/std::string overload pair split); kdesc -c and -u rendered from the ref/ reflection klammerset; a fit column's tex width measured in TeX over every entry; @typeface resolving to the family its css declares (a store directory name now works in html) and hieroglyphs in @unicode_examples set in their typeface; the ansi target -- plain text with the type styles a terminal can show, identical to txt once the escape sequences are stripped -- with the txt @table carrying :header_style, :style and :hline; @block anchoring, @table spacing and the Image_quality state variable; and the rewritten doc/klammertext_for_llm.md.
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 fcec5e2e77ac.
