A @table now renders to txt. What it needed settled how plain text sets
a block off from the prose around it, which is by INDENTING it: that is
the only structural device the medium has, where html and LaTeX have
boxes, rules and space. An indented block is one that has already been
laid out, and the target leaves its lines alone.
A caption is placed above a table or a listing and below a figure, in
every target rather than only in plain text. A figure is taken in at a
glance, and the caption then names what the reader has already seen; a
table is read, and a reader who meets the rows before the subject has to
read them twice.
Also fixed, all three of them silent: an indented paragraph was dropped
from plain-text output rather than left as written; an @indent block was
re-flowed, so the indentation of its later lines appeared as gaps in the
middle of a line; and a table captioned with ":number false" lost the
rule under its caption, while an unnumbered table wrongly consumed a
number that a reader counting captions would then find missing.

Typographic transforms (---, quote pairs, ~) no longer touch verbatim
text: @c/@code/@source_listing content and ^'...'^ spans show exactly the
characters written. "^" before any punctuation character quotes it in
every target (the apostrophe excepted: ^' opens a literal span), with the
new :resolve option on @@@target declaring per-target renderings. The
^UUUU^ code-point form accepts 4-6 hex digits, the full Unicode range.
The html output and transform spellings are polyglot (XML-valid), in
preparation for an EPUB target. New suites: transform_test, character_test
(engine), typography_test (SKS).

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).

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.
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'.
