Andy Kopra d982c0d6cc Improve formatting of lists
List layout adjustments in the SKS LaTeX path: list item spacing and the
surrounding document style tuned in list.py, latex_util.py,
document.sty, and block.k.

# Klammertext
Klammertext is a markup language that produces multiple output formats —
HTML, LaTeX/PDF, and plain text — from a single source description. Its core
engine, the Klammermachine, is written in C++; the Standard Klammer Set (SKS)
adds a default library of formatting and document-structuring operators on top.
## Installing
Installation guides are in [`doc/install/`](doc/install/):
- Linux, from source — `doc/install/linux_source_install.md`
- macOS, from source — `doc/install/macos_source_install.md`
- Linux, container — `doc/install/linux_container_install.md`
- macOS, container — `doc/install/macos_container_install.md`
## Building from source
With a C++20 compiler and `KLAMMERTEXT_HOME` set to this directory:
make -C com
This builds the Klammermachine library (into `lib/`), the SKS components, and
the three commands — `ktext`, `kdesc`, `kdiag` (into `bin/`). See the
source-install guide for prerequisites (TeX Live for PDF output, Python, and so
on).
## Working with an AI assistant
If you use a language model to help write Klammertext, give it
[`doc/klammertext_for_llm.md`](doc/klammertext_for_llm.md). It is a dense
reference written for a model rather than a person: the syntax, the things a
model is most likely to assume wrongly about it (Klammertext is not LaTeX,
Markdown, or Lisp, and reads oddly if you expect any of them), and how to ask
the `kdesc` and `kdiag` commands for the current state of the machine instead
of guessing.
## Editor support
Editing support for Emacs, Sublime Text, Vim, and Visual Studio Code —
syntax highlighting, delimiter matching, structural reindentation, table
alignment, diagnostics — is in [`doc/edit/`](doc/edit/), together with the
shared implementation and the Klammertext language server they build on.
## Provenance
This repository is a curated snapshot of Klammertext's private development
tree, assembled by a manifest-driven script. Its history is a series of
release snapshots, not a mirror of the development history, and files here
are regenerated on each release — patches cannot be merged directly.
Report problems (or send patches) to the author; accepted changes are
applied to the development tree and appear in a following snapshot.
This snapshot was assembled from development commit `f34e66a4dbfb`.
