* Acroread's PDF cut and paste appears to depend on the order in whichSimon Tatham2004-04-20
| | | | | | | | text fragments appear in the page graphics stream. Therefore, I should take care to display the leaders _before_ the page number in each contents entry. [originally from svn r4105]
* Infrastructure changes for character set support. ustrtoa,Simon Tatham2004-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | ustrfroma, utoa_dup and ufroma_dup now take a charset parameter, and also have a variety of subtly distinct forms. Also, when a \cfg directive is seen in the input file, the precise octet strings for each parameter are kept in their original form as well as being translated into Unicode, so that when they represent filenames they can be used verbatim.

* Compacted PS and PDF output files by removing redundant reiterationsSimon Tatham2004-04-16
| | | | | | | | of the same font and position designations. Reduced the size of the Halibut manual PDF to less than half what it started out as, and the PS one to more like a third of its original size. [originally from svn r4083]

* Ahem. If an indexable term appears in a section heading, the indexSimon Tatham2004-04-15

* Display the page numbers on every page. Right. I think this is nowSimon Tatham2004-04-14
| | | | | | | | basically usable, and certainly it entirely includes the level of functionality which was provided by our ancestor Perl script. So I think I'll stop coding frantically and have a rest! [originally from svn r4074]
* And now the page numbers in the index are PDF cross-references too.Simon Tatham2004-04-14
| | | | | | | Funny, I thought that would be as hard again as the main index processing, and it turned out to be nearly trivial. [originally from svn r4073]
* Implemented an index. Good _grief_, that was hard work to get allSimon Tatham2004-04-14

* Restructuring to remove the requirement for a printed paragraph toSimon Tatham2004-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | correspond exactly to a source paragraph. Should allow me to create multiple printed paragraphs from the same source paragraph (i.e. a contents entry for each heading in addition to the heading itself), and invent entirely new printed paragraphs of my own (e.g. for index entries).

* Fine-tuned the page breaking algorithm by adding penalties andSimon Tatham2004-04-13
| | | | | | | | bonuses for breaking in particular places. (For example, it's especially bad to break just after a heading, and especially good to break just before one.) [originally from svn r4064]
* Fix the TODO comments up a bit.Simon Tatham2004-04-13

* Implemented all the missing rendering features (such as differentSimon Tatham2004-04-13
| | | | | | | | font selection in headings, mentioning section numbers, bullets, list item numbers, code paragraphs etc). The PS/PDF output now actually looks like the document it's supposed to be :-) [originally from svn r4061]
* Implement PDF link annotations: both internal hyperlinks within theSimon Tatham2004-04-13

* 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]
