ack bc2b3d8461 A rest argument keeps an empty first element; a removal block keeps its neighbour; the Markdown converter reads paragraphs whole; Smart App Control on the Windows page (from dev 1083db946f05)
- A rest argument (a list's or a table's items) now strips exactly ONE
  leading bar -- the separator from what precedes it -- so a second one is
  an empty first element: a table with an empty header corner is written
  `@table |` then ` | Maskulinum | ...`. Before, every leading bar was
  dropped and such a header row shifted one column left. New shipped suite
  tst/rest_test.sh.
- Text written hard against a closing ]# (a period, a letter) is no longer
  removed with the block; a following space or line break still is.
- sks/tns/md_to_sks.py converts inline Markdown per paragraph, so emphasis
  that wraps is converted and not mis-paired; bold may contain italic;
  tables are unnumbered; links to sibling .md files converted alongside
  become links to their html pages; the arrow becomes @rightarrow@.
- doc/install/windows_source_install.md: Smart App Control must be off --
  it blocks MSYS2's unsigned toolchain, and its Evaluation state turns
  itself on later.

ack e4f1307aa9 Characters that killed a render, what may sit next to a klammer, and ref/
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.
