2017-05-14Update --help output.Simon Tatham
I forgot to add the new --chm option to it yesterday, and also I've just noticed that it still describes --html as XHTML only, which hasn't been true for years.
2007-02-13Add a --list-fonts option, since getting PostScript names out of TrueTypeBen Harris
fonts is difficult. [originally from svn r7281]
2005-03-10Explicitly constify a bunch of static data declarations which wereSimon Tatham
conceptually const but not declared as such. Halibut is now back to the practically-speaking-pointless but rather satisfying status of having no global writable data whatsoever :-) [originally from svn r5476] [this svn revision also touched charset,filter,timber]
2005-02-18Add a `--list-charsets' option to Halibut to enumerate canonical names of knownJacob Nevins
character sets. (Also make libcharset `return_in_enum' values saner.) [originally from svn r5341] [this svn revision also touched charset,filter,timber]
2005-02-17Changes/additions to input character set handling:Jacob Nevins
- 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]
2004-04-13Initial work on PS and PDF output. Because these two backends shareSimon Tatham
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]
2004-04-12Forgot to mention the info backend in the command-line help. Oops.Simon Tatham
