* 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
| | | | | | name (or name schema, in HTML). [originally from svn r4017]

* 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
| | | | [originally from svn r3978]
* 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]
* WinHelp backend segfaults when it finds a nonexistent cross-Simon Tatham2003-01-09
| | | | | | | | reference. (The broken link will already have been reported in the mid-end, but this won't inhibit output generation, so the onus is still on us to at the very least not go *crash*.) [originally from svn r2507]
* Rename Buttress to Halibut. I _think_ I've caught everything in this pass.Simon Tatham2002-08-05

* The .CNT workaround didn't work in all cases (specifically,Simon Tatham2001-12-10
| | | | | | | | | top-level leaf nodes simply can't be done, because you can't lower the level of the node to 0 to compensate for the bug because the parser rejects it). A different workaround is now in place for those cases. [originally from svn r1465]
* Allow the user to specify the Help topic ID string for particularSimon Tatham2001-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | sections. Useful if another program needs to jump to a particular topic. (Really we should support the proper CTXOMAP / HELP_WM_HELP system for doing this, but I don't like numeric IDs; you'd have to parse a bunch of #defines in order to sensibly synchronise the IDs between help file and code.) [originally from svn r1457]
* Create a .CNT contents file alongside the .HLP. (The .CNT file isSimon Tatham2001-12-06
| | | | | | | | | deliberately incorrect, to compensate for a bug in WinHelp. With any luck MS will never fix the bug and this .CNT will continue to work forever. Since WinHelp is theoretically obsolete, this sounds reasonably likely.) [originally from svn r1456]
* Remove the text-mode trappings (_emphasis_ and `code') in the indexSimon Tatham2001-12-04
| | | | | | | terms and section titles. They were unfortunately screwing up index sorting, so they had to go. [originally from svn r1455]

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | liking, as planned. In bk_whlp.c, this has now allowed me to stop emphasis and code from looking silly in section titles, and also allowed me to implement an ersatz horizontal rule in the form of eighty centred nonbreaking spaces in a strike-through font. I know it's vile, but better suggestions are welcome. I think the Windows Help backend is now pretty much Go: I was getting intermittent screwups earlier but I think those were Samba cache persistence problems rather than evil segfaults. All that's really missing now is external context references. [originally from svn r1453]

| | | | | | | near-complete functionality. All that's missing now is indexing and horizontal rules. [originally from svn r1449]
* Most of a Windows Help back end now appears to work. Missing areSimon Tatham2001-12-04
hierarchical topic navigation (menus at the bottom of non-leaf topics, and the Up button) and index support; also I want to give users the ability to specify context IDs for particular topics. Oh, and I haven't found a plausible way to express a horizontal rule in either .RTF or .HLP format. But everything else appears to be there. [originally from svn r1447]
