From e7867fb0d9979c550e6e3d7597ece73b680c4af6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robin Haberkorn Date: Fri, 26 Feb 2016 02:02:50 +0100 Subject: implemented self-documenting (online) help system * the new "?" (help) command can be used to look up help topics. * help topics are index from $SCITECOPATH/women/*.woman.tec files. * looking up a help topic opens the corresponding "womanpage" and jumps to the position of the topic (it acts like an anchor into the document). * styling is performed by *.woman.tec files. * Setting up the Scintilla view and munging the *.tec file is performed by the new "woman.tes" lexer. On supporting UIs (Gtk), womanpages are shown in a variable-width font. * Woman pages are usually not hand-written, but generated from manpages. A special Groff post-processor grosciteco has been introduced for this purpose. It is much like grotty, but can output SciTECO macros for styling the document (ie. the *.woman.tec files). It is documented in its own man-page. * grosciteco also introduces sciteco.tmac - special Troff macros for controlling the formatting of the document in SciTECO. It also defines .SCITECO_TOPIC which can be used to mark up help topics/terms in Troff markup. * Woman pages are generated/formatted by grosciteco at compile-time, so they will work on platforms without Groff (ie. as on windows). * Groff has been added as a hard compile-time requirement. * The sciteco(1) and sciteco(7) man pages have been augmented with help topic anchors. --- doc/generate-docs.tes | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) (limited to 'doc/generate-docs.tes') diff --git a/doc/generate-docs.tes b/doc/generate-docs.tes index 2d5af6a..ee4820c 100755 --- a/doc/generate-docs.tes +++ b/doc/generate-docs.tes @@ -38,6 +38,7 @@ j j qa"Sq.tj|.,q.txa.,q.td i +.SCITECO_TOPIC "Qa" .B Qa '> j
