Andy Kopra d61336b191 Escaping, table layout, and document fixes
Quoted Klammertext specials (^@ ^| ^# ^^ ^: ^*) and ^'...'^ regions now
survive re-processing (held as escape markers until final output);
:after_apply phase functions receive and return raw target text.

Tables: :hpos element position (center|left|right|<length>) replaces the
unimplemented :center/:indent; the ranged cell override is renamed
:justify; :column_width works in html (colgroup widths) and gains
'fill' -- the remaining width, capped at the column's widest entry, in
both targets; a table wider than the text column warns on the console;
table edges without an outer line set their text flush on the margins.

@document: no empty title bar for untitled documents; @vfill fills to
the bottom of the window in html (pure CSS); @vspace in plain text;
new @dot klammer; monospace email links.

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

Syntax highlighting and editing support for Emacs and Sublime Text are in doc/edit/.
