AsciiDoc 8 has changed the syntax again and generates e.g. subscripts
where we don't want them. Instead of updating the documents, I'll
just enable a compatibility mode so that ELinks doesn't require
AsciiDoc 8 yet.
This change:
- Adds a check for the doxygen program to configure.
- Moves the Doxyfile from src/Doxyfile to doc/Doxyfile.in.
- Generates a doc/Doxyfile from doc/Doxyfile.in inserting
an absolute path to the source directory, so that it
also works when builddir != srcdir.
- Adds `make api` rule for running doxygen; it depends on
api/doxygen file which is never created to force the rule
to always run.
Revert 8f030fcb63, "Hack elinkskeys.5
with sed some more, to please ESR." I asked ESR on 2007-01-06 and
2007-06-09 whether the changes were OK, but he never answered. So I'm
reverting the changes until someone with troff knowledge reviews them.
It was reported at elinks-dev on 2007-06-03 that Solaris 10 comes with
zlib 1.1.4, which does not include gzclearerr(), which ELinks nowadays
requires. It would be possible to rewrite the decompression support
to use deflate() directly and avoid stdio, in which case gzclearerr()
would not be needed. That will take some time however, so I'm not
attempting it for ELinks 0.12.0. Instead, I'm just disabling gzip
decompression entirely if zlib is too old.
Use admonishment elements, especially WARNING for insecure temporary files.
Don't say anything about enabling system functions.
Linuxgames.com no longer uses <CENTER>.
AppWatch.com was shut down on 2001-08-31.
Use the http: AsciiDoc macro instead of link:http:.
Identify the supported version of Lua. Mention the related bug 742.
"Help | About" nowadays groups scripting backends under "Scripting".
Document proxy_for_hook.
The enable_systems_functions function has been removed.
The setlocale function is nowadays called os.setlocale, and it does
affect the operation of ELinks.
The execute function does not return the exit code.
Document tmpname, edit_bookmark_dialog, xdialog, set_option, get_option.
Document elinks_home.
However, I did not update the example Lua scripts.
installation.html built from installation.txt does not include the
sections about LUA scripting and ECMAScript, but installation.txt
tries to link to them via fragment identifiers. Point those links to
manual.html instead; not manual.html-chunked because the file names
there might not remain stable.
Alternatively, installation.txt could be changed to include
lua-scripting.txt and ecmascript.txt into installation.html.
Document what happens if goto_url_hook or follow_url_hook returns None or "".
doc/events.txt already explains the corresponding C values.
[ commit message by me --KON ]
elinks.1.in, elinkskeys.5, and elinks.conf.5 are included in the Git tree,
so they are initially in the srcdir, and that's were the new versions must go.

The decision isn't up to me, but I think this is a good idea. Here's a
patch that would update the documentation and hooks.py, as well as hooks.c.
FYI, if this patch is applied then anyone who's still trying to use a
goto_url_hook that expects a second argument will get a "Browser scripting
error" dialog box that says:
An error occurred while running a Python script:
TypeError: goto_url_hook() takes exactly 2 arguments (1 given)
Before this patch, init_python would crash trying to set up elinks.home
at the Python side. Now it uses None as the value in that case.
Also, init_python no longer adds "(null)" to $PYTHONPATH.
Be more strict about the format accepted by the ELinks specific extension
to the -remote URL syntax. That is, commands must begin with a nonempty
sequence of ASCII alphabetic characters followed by optional whitespace and
an opening parenthesis. Also, document the syntax.
Fixes bug 830.
doc/hacking.txt: Point to the ELinks-specific po/perl/README, rather
than to the generic po/perl/check-accelerator-conflicts.pl.
po/perl/README: Removed a spurious preposition.
This part of dev-intro.txt doesn't work on AsciiDoc 7.1.2:
.Overview of the hierarchy of the various subsystems. At the bottom are \
subsystems that provide functionality used by the upper layers.
AsciiDoc treats only the first line as the title and includes the
backslash in the XHTML output. It looks like the only way to fix
dev-intro.txt is to merge the lines into one, but this would both make
the source ugly and somehow generate "Example:" at the beginning of
the title. Because doc/Makefile does not currently run AsciiDoc on
dev-intro.txt, I'm leaving this part unchanged.
This changes the init target to be idempotent: most importantly it will now
never overwrite a Makefile if it exists. Additionally 'make init' will
generate the .vimrc files. Yay, no more stupid 'added fairies' commits! ;)
This simplifies help2doc since it now just have to do one single thing with
output of either --config-help or --long-help. The new manpage is not as
fancy wrt. indentation and sub titles but it is more uniform and we get a
HTML version.
Generate options-{config,command}.txt with help2doc. Only conditionally
check for API header files, to speed up execusion.
