The distribution shipped sks/tns/ and the mdpdf command in the previous
snapshot without either install guide mentioning them, so the only way to
discover the command was to read env/runtime.env. Both source-install
guides now describe it: what it is for (Markdown that is not Klammertext,
rendered through a headless browser), that runtime.env defines it -- so a
shell started before the installation does not have it -- the two things the
distribution does not install (the renderer's virtual environment, created
by "md_to_pdf.py --setup", and a Chromium-based browser), the MDPDF_*
variables that change its defaults, and where the stylesheet is.
(from dev d8ea0e973914)
This snapshot carries sks/tns/, the translation directory, into the
distribution for the first time, together with the two default font
families its stylesheet names.
sks/tns/ holds two converters in opposite directions. md_to_sks.py
converts Markdown to Klammertext, recording what it cannot convert exactly
as "#[MD ... ]#" markers so a draft carries its own worklist. md_to_pdf.py
renders Markdown straight to PDF through a headless Chromium driven over the
DevTools Protocol, bypassing Klammertext entirely -- the route for a
document that is not ready to convert, and a permanent one for Markdown that
Klammertext cannot represent well. Neither is loaded by the SKS; md_to_pdf
needs markdown-it-py, which it keeps in a virtual environment of its own and
creates with --setup.
The everyday form of the second is the mdpdf command, a shell function in
sks/tns/mdpdf.sh that env/runtime.env sources, so anyone with the
Klammertext environment has it:
mdpdf notes.md # writes notes.pdf beside it
It supplies the house fonts, the size matching, and the code wrapping,
completes on *.md at the TAB key, and takes its defaults from MDPDF_*
variables so one can be changed in a shell profile without copying the
function. It is POSIX shell rather than zsh, since runtime.env is sourced
from bash profiles too.
Two things the stylesheet does that a print stylesheet usually cannot. Code
lines are wrapped to a column count MEASURED from the rendered page rather
than written down -- the browser is asked how many characters a code box
holds, over every box in the document, so the wrapping stays right when the
fonts, sizes or margins change. And the page number is a CSS Paged Media
margin box, which current Chromium implements, so it is set in the
document's own face instead of the browser's generic sans.
fnt/ gains EB Garamond and Source Sans 3, the serif and sans the stylesheet
asks for by default.
(from dev 97d4f244c737)
A named group of optional parameters, declared once and used by several
klammers, so a writer learns one vocabulary instead of a spelling per
klammer. The "o" target is a pseudo-target beside "k": "k" declares a
klammer's interface and documents it, "o" declares an option interface and
documents it, and neither produces output for any target.
@@caption_args.o :caption :number.bool true :caption_side.side
: Arguments that define a caption for a block element @@
@@code.k :filename @hpos_args :hpos left @ @caption_args :caption_side top @
| text.literal : A source file displayed verbatim @@
A set is used only in the parameter list of a ".k" declaration -- the one
place a klammer's interface is declared once for all of its targets -- and
is resolved as that list is read. Names and types come from the set; a
default may be overridden where it is used. A klammer application in a
parameter list is now a definition-time error.
The SKS gains the sets caption_args and hpos_args (:hpos and :offset), and
@table, @image, @image_grid, @reference and @show gain .k declarations. A
distance is no longer written as a position: :hpos 4em is rejected, and the
same layout is :hpos left :offset 4em. Code listings are numbered by
default, like tables and figures.
New engine sources mac/option_set{,_registry}.{h,cpp}; tst/ ships two more
suites, option_set_test.sh and signature_test.sh (twelve in all).
(from dev 34e536cb0329)
A klammer that reaches itself, directly or through a cycle, expanded
until the C++ stack was exhausted: the process died from SIGSEGV with no
message and no location. The former limit guarded only the top-level
fixed-point iteration, never the descent through klammer application. A
depth guard now raises a recursion error naming the klammer and where it
was applied. The same loop's termination test moves from "the katom list
stopped growing" to "a pass applied no klammer", since a klammer whose
body expands to nothing is a reduction that adds no katoms; exceeding the
round limit is now an error rather than a message followed by rendering a
document with live klammers still in it.
ktext --check locates every klammer application written in a document or
in a klammer body and checks name existence, argument count, option
names, and target coverage without applying anything, reporting all
problems at once. This is possible because Klammertext has no catcodes:
katom structure is fixed when a file is read, so a klammer body has a
determinate shape before it is expanded. The check therefore reaches what
the engine cannot -- the branch of a @cond that is not selected, and
bodies a given render never enters.
@cond's set of truth values is an open language question, so its meaning
is unchanged here; an unrecognized predicate now warns, giving its value
and location.
tst/ gains recursion_test.sh (7 cases) and check_test.sh (19 cases), and
this snapshot's test Makefile is generated from the shipped suite list so
the two cannot drift apart.

The four defaulted parameters in html_util.h stayed by-value while the
definition became const&, leaving the called overload undefined.
Linux's -shared linking hid it (lazy dlopen resolution); it broke the
book-structure HTML path at runtime. Both sides now agree (const&,
defaults kept); combine_files converted consistently as well.
(from dev a910e11431d2)
The @@@klammerset system command formally declares a klammerset — a
named, logically related group of klammer definitions — with an
operative, idempotent declaration (:requires and :files load in order
at the declaration point, relative to the declaring file). A bare
symbol given to ktext -k, kdesc --input, or :requires resolves to
x/x.k on the search path: the document's directory, then
KLAMMERTEXT_KLAMMERSETS, then KLAMMERTEXT_HOME; kdesc --klammerset
lists the available sets. sks/sks.k is the first declared klammerset,
so `-k sks` loads the SKS by name. The engine's lookup classes were
renamed *_set → *_registry to keep the two concepts apart, and the
whole C++ tree now follows standard const-correctness conventions.
tst/ gains klammerset_test.sh (18 cases).
(from dev 64b1abf23e56)
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.

klammertext-align.el calls string-trim, string-blank-p, and
string-empty-p without requiring subr-x. Newer Emacs has that library
loaded already; on Emacs 27 -- what Ubuntu 22.04 and Pop!_OS 22.04 ship
-- the symbols are void and table alignment fails with "Symbol's
function definition is void: string-blank-p". The README now states
Emacs 27.1 as the supported floor.
(from dev 43a4ce7dea2a)
Case 5 of the module-resolution suite failed on macOS only, because /var
is a symlink to /private/var there: `mktemp -d` returns an unresolved
path while Python's os.getcwd() reports the resolved one, so the test
compared two spellings of the same directory. Resolving the temp
directory once at creation with `pwd -P` makes every path in the suite
consistent.
(from dev ca9eaa2c867a)
An optional argument has three values: the default (the name is absent),
the argument type's :alone value (the name is written alone), and a
written value.
:alone is declared by the argument type only, never by a klammer's
parameter declaration -- a default is what one klammer means by silence,
but a bare option name must read the same way in every klammer. The bool
type declares :alone true, which is the whole of the convention that a
bare boolean option means true; there is no boolean special case in the
engine. A type whose pattern matches running text cannot declare :alone,
since an option's value runs to the next bar or option name and would
swallow the following text.
kdesc and `ktext -m` now show [default: X] and [alone: Y] per argument
type.
In the Standard Klammer Set: @code :number becomes a bool (it was an
untyped string tested only for truthiness, so a bare :number was a
no-op); decimal_mark declares :alone comma; table_hline and table_vline
declare :alone all. The 35 bools that default false gained the bare form
for free.
Tests: tst/alone_test.sh (21 cases) joins the shipped suite.
(from dev 6024f49c2859)
@date/@datetime gain :lang (German: "16. Juni 1910") over a document-wide
Language state variable, and :number for the numeric form (en 6/16/1910,
de 16.06.1910 per DIN 5008). @eval finds Python modules next to the file
that names them regardless of the cwd, and the new :cwd option runs an
eval in a chosen working directory (@source_file uses it to resolve
against the document). Two new test suites ship in tst/.

Folder copies into ~/.vscode/extensions no longer load in modern VS Code;
make_vsix.sh packages the extension (bash + python3 only) and the README
installs it with `code --install-extension`.

doc/edit/ now holds a shared Python implementation of the language's
structural layer (klammertext_edit.py) and a dependency-free language
server (klammertext_ls.py), with integrations for Emacs, Sublime Text,
Vim, and Visual Studio Code. The editor test suite in tst/ covers the
core's API and CLI, the language server protocol, the VS Code
extension, headless Vim, and Emacs byte-equality.

- Filenames may contain spaces: quote on the command line; filename
lists use a standalone "/" separator; unseparated names that do not
exist are rejoined into names that do (announced); leading ~ expands.
- Without -o, output is written to the input file's directory; -o fully
specifies the output directory and basename.
- "Word not parsed" warnings now appear without -v, only for text that
survives removal, with correct line numbers.
- New tst/filename_test.sh regression suite.

tst/ now carries all three engine regression suites (cond, deftype,
escape) and the Makefile runs them. The README gains a Provenance
section: this repository is a curated snapshot of the private
development tree, stamped with the development commit it was assembled
from.
(from dev f6463478da4c)
Quoted Klammertext specials (^@ ^| ^# ^^ ^: ^*) and ^'...'^ regions now
survive re-processing (held as escape markers until final output);
:after_apply phase functions receive and return raw target text.
Tables: :hpos element position (center|left|right|<length>) replaces the
unimplemented :center/:indent; the ranged cell override is renamed
:justify; :column_width works in html (colgroup widths) and gains
'fill' -- the remaining width, capped at the column's widest entry, in
both targets; a table wider than the text column warns on the console;
table edges without an outer line set their text flush on the margins.
@document: no empty title bar for untitled documents; @vfill fills to
the bottom of the window in html (pure CSS); @vspace in plain text;
new @dot klammer; monospace email links.
- @table: a writer's :hline/:vline replaces the default lines; new
boundary name 'none' removes all lines
- @table: ranged :hpos argument overrides :cell_hpos per cell
(\multicolumn{1} in tex; positions a colspan anchor's merged cell)
- @date/@datetime: :days offset argument (sks/date/date.py)
- @document: ":bottom none" suppresses the footer (\pagestyle{empty})
Also carries the escape-system generator/renderer fixes, per-cell-range
:format, and uppercase .TTF/.OTF font recognition from klammertext-dev.
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).
Bare 'make -C com' now builds -O3 (optimize.env default flip); the install guides drop OPTIMIZE=1 and document DEBUG=1 for an AddressSanitizer build.
