- @image under txt and ansi is a picture in characters, in five styles
(Image_txt_style: halfblock the default, shade, ascii, quadrant,
braille), sized to the terminal's width less a margin when ktext runs
in one, every cell in its own colours under ansi; a figure's caption
is centred under it and no txt caption is ruled off any more.
- The build compiles as many files at once as the machine has cores
(JOBS; make -C com JOBS=1 for a small machine): the sub-makes' bare -j
meant unlimited parallelism and exhausted 8 GB machines. The three
install pages say "make -C com".

Assembled from development commit c3c40f6c8fca. Since 830b193: on Windows the
products carry Windows names (ktext.exe, klammertext.dll, document.dll,
reflect.dll) and the console's output code page is UTF-8 for a run; the
editor tooling works on Windows (VS Code, Sublime Text, Vim, with the
interpreter's name chosen by platform) and Notepad++ joins it
(doc/edit/notepadpp: a User Defined Language and two Run-menu commands);
a sixth install page, doc/install/windows_wsl_install.md, for Linux
inside WSL; the Windows page opens with the three routes and gains its
editor section, the PowerShell quoting and Path notes; the Linux page
installs OpenImageIO from the python3-openimageio package and verifies
with kdiag --machine; the README lists all six install pages. Linux and
macOS behaviour is unchanged.
Assembled from klammertext-dev f344a37d772c. The commands, the library,
the Standard Klammer Set, the reflection klammerset and the Python
binding build and run natively on Windows (MSYS2 UCRT64 gcc, python.org
Python), and both test tiers pass there. doc/install/windows_source_install.md
is the fifth install guide: a source install parallel to the Linux and
macOS ones, verified by following it on a pristine Windows 11.
Behaviour on every system: paths Klammertext prints use forward slashes;
output is LF; the command line is UTF-8 on Windows; @eval :shell is a
POSIX shell command everywhere -- on Windows it runs the sh Klammertext
ships, BusyBox for Windows (win/busybox/, GPLv2, with its licence and the
source pointer). KLAMMERTEXT_FONTS and KLAMMERTEXT_KLAMMERSETS are lists in
the system's PATH convention (';' on Windows). On Linux and macOS nothing
observable changes.
Assembled from klammertext-dev ed13dfaa5b7a. kpy/klammertext.cpp is a
CPython extension module giving a Python script an instance of the
Machine class -- ktext in-process, set up through the same functions the
command uses. Errors map one-to-one to Python exceptions under the C++
names; an @eval's Python exception is chained as __cause__. Built by
make -C mac, found through PYTHONPATH (env/runtime.env sets it), tested
by tst/kpy_test.sh. Three engine changes came with it: Error::message(),
set_command_state(), and the @eval error report carrying its traceback.

A character written in the ^...^ mnemonic form -- ^oe^, ^zz^, ^hello^ --
used to kill ktext outright: no message, no output, and an exit status
that looked like a crash because it was one. Only the forms that happen
to spell hexadecimal digits escaped, and they were right by luck rather
than by reading. Any caret form that names no character is now a located
error that quotes what was written.
A klammer may now sit inside square brackets and braces as it already
could inside parentheses, and may be followed by the punctuation that
ends a sentence: [@i word@], {@b word@}, @i word@'s. The rule is a fixed
list of characters, because none of them can occur inside a klammer name
and so none of them is ambiguous next to a delimiter. A letter still
cannot: "x@" is the named closing delimiter, so a letter before "@" has
two readings and no rule can separate them.
The abbreviations an author writes -- the hyphen form @i-word, a klammer
glued to its neighbouring punctuation -- are now recognised as author
conveniences only. They are not applied to @@ definitions or @@@ system
commands, which are written by someone who needs no such shorthand and
whose forms are already whole.
Also fixed, each of them silent: an exported shell function in the
environment broke every @eval in the document; a line break written with
@nl was destroyed when it passed through a klammer that generates a
table, printing as \textbackslash{}newline in the finished PDF; and
"kdesc --coverage" shortened its file column by comparing the spelling of
a path rather than the path, so a klammer set reached by a symbolic link
showed a full path where its neighbours showed a short one.
New in the distribution: ref/, a small klammerset that describes the
Klammermachine's own tables in Klammertext. It currently provides the
character tables -- the diacritics and the extended Latin letters -- as
klammers that render to any target, so the documentation of what can be
written cannot drift from what the machine accepts. It is early, and
will grow.
The Klammertext taxonomy now has a section on targets, describes the
@@@klammerset system command alongside the other three, and states the
precedence of "^" -- what a caret means before a letter, a digit, a
punctuation character, and a quote, in one ordered list.

Two development changes since the last snapshot.
perf(build): com/Makefile's recursive $(MAKE) commands inherited no
jobserver, so kdiag, kdesc and ktext linked one after another even though
they are independent links against the already-built library. A clean
rebuild drops from 27.9 s to 23.1 s on an i9-14900KF and from 16.4 s to
13.8 s on an M5 Pro.
fix(list): LaTeX's built-in enumerate and itemize stop at four levels, so
a deeper @ol or @ul failed with "Too deeply nested". sks/list/sty/list.sty
now redefines both through enumitem to allow nine, with explicit per-level
itemize markers, since \renewlist discards the built-in ones.

Sync with klammertext-dev through b90b0e09:
- Argument types end to end: :python_cast values are applied (Python
@eval receives real bools/numbers/lists), argument values are
validated against their argtype patterns with the argtype's
description as the error message, argtypes can declare :default
(overridable per declaration), and parameterized type families are
supported: rest(N) casts a rest argument to an N-dimensional list
(bar-count = dimension).
- Unified indexed_range syntax (selector with parenthesized subsets,
composable mnemonic names) for table lines and spans.
- Table klammer: caption fonts fixed in both targets, :column_width /
:leading / :colsep wired, :colspan and :rowspan render (HTML
attributes; \multicolumn / \multirow), calculated cell values (:calc)
with prefix operators, display-precision semantics, :calc_format and
:decimal period|comma.
- Fonts: closed-world resolution on the Klammertext font store
(infrastructure in mac/font_store; no Google Fonts links or fetch).
Default fonts live in the top-level fnt/; additional fonts install
into KLAMMERTEXT_FONTS directories via kdesc --font (list, samples,
preview, install — classification by font metadata). CSS font family
names are quoted (digit-initial families were silently lost).
- Environment files moved from mac/env/ to the top-level env/; shell
profiles source env/runtime.env. Dead per-host variants removed.
- Container: fnt/ ships in the image; curl removed (no network use).
Curated source subset assembled by klammertext-dev's doc/make_dist.sh: the Klammermachine (mac), the Standard Klammer Set (sks), the commands (com), editor plugins and install guides (doc), a test subset (tst), and lib/bin placeholders. Builds with 'make -C com'.
