* Fix segfault in info backend when invoked with inputs/test.butJacob Nevins2006-12-31
| | | | | | (which triggers err_infonodechar with fpos==NULL). [originally from svn r7044]
* Support for the MS HTML Help system in the HTML back end. As yet ISimon Tatham2006-12-11
| | | | | | | | don't know how to write out a .CHM directly, but I am at least able to have the HTML back end write out the three auxiliary files which enable a .CHM to be generated using the MS HTML Help compiler. [originally from svn r6991]
* Correct embedding of Type 1 fonts in PDF. Error cases (e.g. invalid Type 1Ben Harris2006-12-09
| | | | | | fonts) may not be well handled, and may emit invalid PDF. [originally from svn r6974]
* Introduce global (cross-backend) \cfg{contents} and \cfg{index}Simon Tatham2006-06-02
| | | | | | | commands, allowing the fixed words "Contents" and "Index" generated in various output formats to be reconfigured into other languages. [originally from svn r6724]
* Initial support for adding fonts at run-time. Currently we only supportBen Harris2006-05-13
| | | | | | | | loading AFM files, we recognise them by name, and we can't embed fonts in the output (which is also invalid, though accepted by xpdf, in the PDF case). Oh, and there's no documentation. Still, it's a start. [originally from svn r6681]
* Add font-selection mechanism to the paper backend. Since we have no way toBen Harris2006-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | load font metrics dynamically, we're restricted to the fonts whose metrics are compiled into Halibut. Font structures aren't reused when the same font is specified twice, nor are unused fonts removed from the output. Finally, the default configuration overflows lines in the manual, but this would need a change to Halibut's grammar to fix. Still, what's there works. [originally from svn r6667]
* Remove the error message `no text found in paragraph'. Aaron BrownSimon Tatham2005-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | points out that it's perfectly possible to generate an empty paragraph using legal Halibut syntax: a paragraph containing nothing but a \#{...} comment will do the job, and is quite likely to happen if you've commented out a load of Halibut code. Therefore, an empty paragraph is now silently ignored rather than being an error condition in itself; if you create an empty paragraph due to it containing an unrecognised directive, then you'll get an error for _that_ and only that. [originally from svn r6361]
* input.c was capable of generating a paragraph structure with no textSimon Tatham2005-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | in it, if the input paragraph contained (say) an unrecognised control command and nothing else. Such paragraphs can confuse back ends later on, so input.c should refrain from generating them. Added a check and a polite error message (just in case the user manages to generate an empty paragraph using otherwise legal syntax). [originally from svn r5629]
* Ability to specify multiple arguments to \cfg{html-template-fragment};Jacob Nevins2005-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Halibut will output fragment names in all specified formats. (I forget now precisely why I thought this was necessary, but it seems potentially useful.) Also ensure that legal fragment names are generated even if none of the characters from the original turn out to be legal (e.g., %k with an entirely numeric keyword), and correct an untruth I inserted in the documentation of this. (This commit hits more than just the HTML backend as I've generalised an error message, and fixed a fault in the info backend's error handling while there.) [originally from svn r5457]
* Changes/additions to input character set handling:Jacob Nevins2005-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - After discussion with Simon, change the default input charset back to ASCII, rather than trying to work it out from the locale, for the sake of promoting .but file portability. - Add a new command-line option "--input-charset=csname", which overrides the ASCII default for all input files (since there's no other way to use a non-ASCII-compatible input file). - Output a warning if -Cinput-charset:foo is specified that it has no effect. - Update the docs to match all this. Also try to clarify some other things in this area that caught me out. [originally from svn r5332]
* Sort out error handling everywhere a charset name is converted intoSimon Tatham2004-06-27
| | | | | | an integer charset ID. [originally from svn r4317]
* Introduce a configurable option to select the HTML flavour. AlsoSimon Tatham2004-06-20
| | | | | | | fiddle with various small aspects of the output so that it actually validates in all supported flavours. [originally from svn r4307]
* The Halibut manual contained at least one instance of two indexSimon Tatham2004-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | terms (intentionally) differing only in case, which were being silently folded into one by the case-insensitive index tag comparison. Halibut now warns in this situation (but then folds them anyway, which I think is better than silently generating an index containing many case-distinct forms of the same word - I imagine it's very easy to do that by mistake). The manual has been fixed to explicitly define distinct keywords (in the case I spotted and in five other cases picked up by the new warning!), and also documents this issue and how to work with it. [originally from svn r4279]
* Enforce that \q may not be used anywhere within \c. It shouldn't beSimon Tatham2004-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | necessary since the whole point of \c should be that the user wants to exercise exact control over the glyphs used, and forbidding it has the useful effect of relieving some backends of having to make difficult decisions: it means the text backend doesn't have to nest two pairs of identical quotes, and the paper backends don't have to downgrade their quote characters if (as is perfectly plausible) the fixed-pitch font doesn't support the same range as the body text fonts. [originally from svn r4277]
* Enhance the text backend to support configurable quote characters,Simon Tatham2004-04-23
| | | | | | | | | | | configurable emphasis characters, various other configurable bits which have been marked FIXME in the code for a while, and also to warn when a code paragraph line is too long (because that was the only other thing labelled FIXME). Fallback options are implemented, and defaults set accordingly. A UTF-8 text output file now looks like proper UTF-8. [originally from svn r4128]
* Support the locale-supplied character set where appropriate. It'sSimon Tatham2004-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | used for converting command-line -C directives into Unicode; it's used for outputting Unicode strings to stderr in error messages; and it's used as the default character set for input files (although I'd be inclined to recommend everyone use \cfg{input-charset} in all their source files to ensure their portability). [originally from svn r4114]
* 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. [originally from svn r4097]
* 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]
* Add a config directive to generate the INFO-DIR-ENTRY things thatSimon Tatham2004-04-09
| | | | | | appear to be used to automatically construct /usr/info/dir. [originally from svn r4049]
* Add the -C command-line option, which allows arbitrary \cfgSimon Tatham2004-03-31
| | | | | | directives to be supplied on the Halibut command line. [originally from svn r4013]
* Add a \quote{...} directive, working like <blockquote> in HTML.Simon Tatham2004-03-25
| | | | [originally from svn r3978]
* 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]
* Rename Buttress to Halibut. I _think_ I've caught everything in this pass.Simon Tatham2002-08-05
| | | | [originally from svn r1800]
* Keywords are now collected using a B-tree rather than an array withSimon Tatham2001-12-14
| | | | | | | | heapsort. This makes the code much simpler for a start, but the main reason is so that we can spot duplicate keywords as we go along rather than having to wait until the end of input processing. [originally from svn r1489]
* 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]
* Enforce proper ordering of heading levels: specifically, ensure theSimon Tatham2001-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | user doesn't skip a heading level (\H before any \C or \A, or \S straight after \C with no intervening \H). The precise criterion is that when creating section a.b.c.d, sections a.b.c, a.b and a should already exist. This ensures the section tree really is a properly formed tree with no missing nodes.
