An optional argument has three values: the default (the name is absent), the argument type's :alone value (the name is written alone), and a written value. :alone is declared by the argument type only, never by a klammer's parameter declaration -- a default is what one klammer means by silence, but a bare option name must read the same way in every klammer. The bool type declares :alone true, which is the whole of the convention that a bare boolean option means true; there is no boolean special case in the engine. A type whose pattern matches running text cannot declare :alone, since an option's value runs to the next bar or option name and would swallow the following text. kdesc and `ktext -m` now show [default: X] and [alone: Y] per argument type. In the Standard Klammer Set: @code :number becomes a bool (it was an untyped string tested only for truthiness, so a bare :number was a no-op); decimal_mark declares :alone comma; table_hline and table_vline declare :alone all. The 35 bools that default false gained the bare form for free. Tests: tst/alone_test.sh (21 cases) joins the shipped suite. (from dev 6024f49c2859)

# 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).
|
|
|
|
## 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 `6024f49c2859`.
