* 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]
* Add \cfg / -C directives to allow the user to choose the output fileSimon Tatham2004-04-01

* 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]
* Obsoleted the `\preamble' command. Preamble text is now taken to beSimon Tatham2004-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | any ordinary displayable paragraph(s) appearing before the first chapter heading, meaning in particular that you can put lists, code paragraphs etc in preambles. Of course, `\preamble' is still supported for backwards compatibility, but it's now a zero-effect paragraph marker. [originally from svn r3981]
* Add a \quote{...} directive, working like <blockquote> in HTML.Simon Tatham2004-03-25

* Cleanups to complete the man page backend. Also, an additional newSimon Tatham2004-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | markup feature: a \c line in a code paragraph can now be followed by an optional \e line indicating emphasised bits of its preceding \c. This allows discretionary bolding and (italic/underline) emphasis within code paragraphs, but without introducing an escape character or breaking any existing input files. Users are warned that not all backends are required to actually render these hints, and so they should avoid depending on them 100% to convey semantic information unless they know they're writing for a restricted range of backends. [originally from svn r3965]
* Man-page back end for Halibut. Also, a couple of additional markupSimon Tatham2004-03-23
features commonly used in man pages: (a) the ability to nest paragraph breaks, code paragraphs and other lists inside list items, and (b) description lists as normally used in man pages to describe command-line options. [originally from svn r3954]
