- @image under txt and ansi is a picture in characters, in five styles (Image_txt_style: halfblock the default, shade, ascii, quadrant, braille), sized to the terminal's width less a margin when ktext runs in one, every cell in its own colours under ansi; a figure's caption is centred under it and no txt caption is ruled off any more. - The build compiles as many files at once as the machine has cores (JOBS; make -C com JOBS=1 for a small machine): the sub-makes' bare -j meant unlimited parallelism and exhausted 8 GB machines. The three install pages say "make -C com". Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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 - Windows, from source (native) —
doc/install/windows_source_install.md - Windows, Linux inside WSL —
doc/install/windows_wsl_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 16f82cc887af.
