In directory genba:/vol5/tmp/cvs-serv26392
Modified Files:
ChangeLog Makefile.sub TODO groffer.man groffer.sh
Log Message:
* release of groffer 0.8
* Makefile.sub: add copyright section
* groffer.man:
- Document the new options.
- Revise the documentation of the modes.
- Document the configuration files in new section `FILES'.
- Redesign section `EXAMPLES'.
- Remove documentation for `-W'.
* groffer.sh: new debugging features
- Disabled by default; enabled by environment variables.
- Add landmark() to catch typos with quotes.
- Add a function call stack for suitable functions; implemented
as within the argument checker func_check().
- This implies the need to provide `return' with some clean-up
facility; implemented as `eval "$_return_..."'.
- Add option `--debug' to enable debugging at run-time.
- Actually, the groffer script uses only shell builtins found
in `ash' (a subset of POSIX) and POSIX `sed' as the only
external shell utility.
* groffer.sh: customization of viewers
- In `groff' mode, the groffer viewing facilities are disabled.
- The postprocessor option `-P' costumizes the viewer only in
some situations in the `groff' mode, so a new infrastructure
for viewer customization is necessary.
- Allow to specify arguments to the viewer programs specified
in `--*-viewer()'.
- Implement some of the essential X Toolkit resource options in
groffer, but with use a leading double minus.
-> `--bd': set border color.
-> `--bg', `--background': set background color.
-> `--bw': set border width.
-> `--display': set X display.
-> `--geometry': set size and position of viewer window.
-> `--fg', `--foreground': set foreground color.
-> `--ft', `--font': set font.
-> `--resolution': set X resolution in dpi.
-> `--title': set viewer window title.
-> `--xrm': set X resource.
- Remove misnamed option `--xrdb'.
* groffer.sh: new mode structure
- New Postcript mode `ps' (`--ps'):
-> default viewers: gv,ghostview,gs_x11,gs;
-> `--ps-viewer' sets the Postscript viewer.
- New mode `www' (`--www') for displaying in a web browser:
-> default browsers: mozilla,netscape,opera,amaya,arena;
-> `--www-viewer' sets the web browser.
- New dvi mode (`--dvi'); default viewer `xdvi':
-> default viewers: xdvi,dvilx;
-> `--dvi-viewer' sets the dvi viewer.
- New mode `auto':
-> active if no other mode is given or by new option `--auto';
-> selects from a sequence of modes that are tested until one
of them succeeds.
-> the default mode sequence is actually `ps', `x', `tty'.
-> `--default-modes' sets this mode sequence as a comma
separated string of program names, optionally each one
with arguments).
- New mode `groff':
-> process input like groff, ignore viewing options.
-> activated by new option `--groff'.
-> automatically active with one of `-V', `-X', `-Z'.
- Revise `tty' mode:
-> allow several text devices.
->
- Reorganize the mode management:
-> new mode setting option `--mode'.
-> logically separate source, groff, and display modes.
-> intermediate output mode is now part of mode groff; remove
any special features around `-Z'.
- Update usage() to reflect the new option structure.
* groffer.sh: add configuration files
- `/etc/groff/groffer.conf' system-wide configuration.
- `${HOME}/.groff/groffer.conf' user configuration.
- The configuration file are shell scripts for now; later
implementations can identify this from the `#! /bin/sh' line.
* groffer.sh: new data structure `list':
- Implement a `list' data structure as a string consisting of
single-quoted elements, separated by a space character;
embedded single-quotes are escaped.
* groffer.sh: new option parser based on `list':
- Write new option parser based on `list', compatible to both
POSIX getopts() and GNU getopt().
- Long options are now available on GNU and non-GNU systems.
- Get rid of POSIX getopts() and GNU getopt().
- the `-W--longopt' construct is now obsolete; remove it.
- add test/function for `unset'.
- Option strings are now implemented as `list's in order to
allow unusual characters in options.
- Parse $MANOPT first; translate essential arguments into
groffer options.
* groffer.man:
- determine prompt length for `.Shell_cmd'* dynamically.
- naming scheme for static strings and registers changed to
`namespace:macro.variable'.
* groffer.sh:
Implement man option `--ascii' by `-mtty-char'.
