2004-04-20	Don't forget to mention the default setting for \cfg{input-charset}.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4106]
2004-04-20	Forgot to add .ps and .pdf to the `make clean' list!	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4098]
2004-04-19	Support for \cfg{input-charset}. Input files can now be in ASCII,	Simon Tatham
	8859-*, UTF-8, or a variety of more fun encodings including various multibyte ones. [originally from svn r4095]
2004-04-15	Support the \W{...}\i\c{...} combination used in the NASM manual.	Simon Tatham
	Halibut is now capable of reading the old NASM manual with only minor modifications, and probably doing a much better job of formatting it than rdsrc.pl ever did. (Certainly much _faster_!) [originally from svn r4081]
2004-04-14	Administrivia: update a TODO and a .cvsignore.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4077]
2004-04-14	After printing out the PDF manual and reading it through, here's a	Simon Tatham
	collection of minor edits for clarity, and also quite a few intended to keep down the length of lines in code paragraphs (because Courier is not just a thoroughly ugly font but is also WAY TOO WIDE). [originally from svn r4076]
2004-04-14	... oh, except that minimal documentation might be helpful.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4075]
2004-04-13	I wrote the info backend _days_ ago. About time the manpage stopped	Simon Tatham
	listing its absence as a bug :-) [originally from svn r4063]
2004-04-10	Forgot to mention the info backend in the man page.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4054]
2004-04-10	Add documentation for the info backend.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4052]
2004-04-09	Add a config directive to generate the INFO-DIR-ENTRY things that	Simon Tatham
	appear to be used to automatically construct /usr/info/dir. [originally from svn r4049]
2004-04-09	Added an info(1) backend, which constructs .info files directly	Simon Tatham
	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]
2004-04-08	Ahem; let's have all the man page headings at the same level!	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4045]
2004-04-08	Add a man page.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4042]
2004-04-04	Jacob pointed out various important facts missing from the Halibut	Simon Tatham
	manual. Added them. [originally from svn r4038]
2004-04-01	For some reason I decided it was better to say `output format'	Simon Tatham
	consistently in the documentation than to confuse matters by saying `back end'. One rogue back end removed. [originally from svn r4028]
2004-04-01	Forgot to mention the default behaviour is to run all backends.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4027]
2004-04-01	Having done all these command-line options and new \cfg directives,	Simon Tatham
	I'd better document them... [originally from svn r4024]
2004-04-01	Homogenise the licence, and bring it up to date.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4023]
2004-03-30	Bah, there's always one. Missing file.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r4007]
2004-03-30	Simplify treatment of the copyright notice, now I've also simplified	Simon Tatham
	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]
2004-03-30	I always meant to remove emphasis in the index by default. Now I do	Simon Tatham
	so. It's restorable using \IM. [originally from svn r4000]
2004-03-30	The manual is now fully indexed.	Simon Tatham
	[originally from svn r3999]
2004-03-27	Couple of extra points: forgot about the \i\cw special case, and	Simon Tatham
	Jacob points out that I didn't specify whether inline formatting commands can surround line breaks (they can). [originally from svn r3994]
2004-03-26	Second instalment of the manual: added a chapter on output formats.	Simon Tatham
	I _think_ the manual now contains all the information a user should need, even if not yet in an optimal order for a beginner to learn from. [originally from svn r3989]
2004-03-25	Introduce \. as a NOP command. The purpose of this is to act as a	Simon Tatham
	zero-width delimiter between a macro invocation and text beyond it, so that you can define (say) a macro which expands to a Euro sign and then write `\eur\.2500' to avoid having space between the Euro sign and the number. [originally from svn r3982]
2004-03-25	Obsoleted the `\preamble' command. Preamble text is now taken to be	Simon Tatham
	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]
2004-03-25	First instalment of a manual for Halibut. This lot covers the	Simon Tatham
	(nearly nonexistent) invocation syntax and the input format. [originally from svn r3979]
