* Initial work on PS and PDF output. Because these two backends shareSimon Tatham2004-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | an enormous amount of preprocessing and differ only in their final output form, I've introduced a new type of layer called a `pre-backend' (bk_paper.c is one). This takes all the information passed to a normal backend and returns an arbitrary void *, which is cached by the front end and passed on to any backend(s) which state a desire for the output of that particular pre-backend. Thus, all the page layout is done only once, and the PS and PDF backends process the same data structures into two output files. Note that these backends are _very_ unfinished; all sorts of vital things such as section numbers, list markers, and title formatting are missing, the paragraph justification doesn't quite work, and advanced stuff like indexes and PDF interactive features haven't even been started. But this basic framework generates valid output files and is a good starting point, so I'm checking it in. [originally from svn r4058]

* The Emacs and Jed info readers don't like my index format: Info menuSimon Tatham2004-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | items of the form `* stuff: Section 1.2.' are parsed by standalone info as `Section 1.2' followed by a period, but are parsed by other readers as `Section 1' followed by a period and then some spare text. Therefore, I've changed strategy, and the index is now full of *Note cross-references rather than menu items. On the plus side, this means there are no longer any special characters which we can't tolerate in an index entry; on the minus side, my shiny new infrastructure for tracking the filepos of index entries is now rendered pointless. I'll leave it in, though, since it may come in handy again. [originally from svn r4053]

* Info backend now takes care to avoid magic characters in node namesSimon Tatham2004-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | and index terms (the Info format doesn't like them). In the course of this I've had to introduce some infrastructure for carrying a filepos forward from the definition of every RHS index term so that a particular backend can provide a usefully localised report of which index term had a problem. [originally from svn r4051]
* It would probably help to add a test of the INFO-DIR-ENTRY mechanismSimon Tatham2004-04-09

* Add a config directive to generate the INFO-DIR-ENTRY things thatSimon Tatham2004-04-09

* Added an info(1) backend, which constructs .info files directlySimon Tatham2004-04-09
| | | | | | | without going through the .texi source stage. A few things left to do, notably documentation, but the basics all seem to be there. [originally from svn r4047]

* For some reason I decided it was better to say `output format'Simon Tatham2004-04-01
| | | | | | | consistently in the documentation than to confuse matters by saying `back end'. One rogue back end removed. [originally from svn r4028]

* Having done all these command-line options and new \cfg directives,Simon Tatham2004-04-01

* Now I've got a mechanism for formatting HTML file names to aSimon Tatham2004-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | parametric template, reuse the same mechanism to allow the <a name="..."> markers on each section to be parametrised as well. That way, any user who so desires can arrange for everything in a section URL to be constructed from internal keywords, making it pretty robust against section numbering changes. [originally from svn r4019]
* Arrange a mechanism whereby each backend can be passed a filenameSimon Tatham2004-04-01
| | | | | | | | | from its command-line option (`--text=foo.txt') and automatically convert it into one or more notional \cfg directives. In the HTML case this mechanism enables single-file mode as well as setting the filename. [originally from svn r4018]

* After so much fuss was made about this being an _XHTML_ back endSimon Tatham2004-03-31
| | | | | | | | rather than merely HTML, I thought it might be instructive to run it through the W3C's XHTML validator. Consequent changes in this checkin... [originally from svn r4010]

* \lcont and \quote were being confused by whitespace (in particular,Simon Tatham2004-03-30
| | | | | | | | | a single newline) immediately after their opening brace; this was causing a normal paragraph to be started, thus making it fiddly and annoying to arrange the first paragraph of a \lcont to be a code para or anything else special. Now fixed. [originally from svn r4005]

* Simplify treatment of the copyright notice, now I've also simplifiedSimon Tatham2004-03-30
| | | | | | | | | the preamble: \copyright paragraphs are now treated identically to normal paragraphs (so they appear precisely where they're put instead of in a fixed location), _except_ that the Windows Help backend also copies their text into the help file's copyright slot. [originally from svn r4001]
* I always meant to remove emphasis in the index by default. Now I doSimon Tatham2004-03-30
| | | | | | so. It's restorable using \IM. [originally from svn r4000]

* Couple of extra points: forgot about the \i\cw special case, andSimon Tatham2004-03-27
| | | | | | | Jacob points out that I didn't specify whether inline formatting commands can surround line breaks (they can). [originally from svn r3994]
* Fix bug in HTML index generation: any index tags appearing in aSimon Tatham2004-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | section title (which is not remotely unreasonable) got index references added to them not only when the section title was processed as part of its section, but also when it was processed as part of contents navigation displays - in which situation it tended to cause a link to, for example, the last section in the _previous_ file. Now we keep constant track of whether or not we're supposed to be indexing things as we process text. [originally from svn r3991]
