The older help2doc script is no longer used for anything.
To make future cherry-picking easier, this commit does not include the
resulting changes in generated files.
The intention is to convert --config-help and --long-help outputs to
DocBook XML and XHTML rather than AsciiDoc, so that the converter does
not have to work around the intricate AsciiDoc syntax. However, this
commit does not yet connect the script to doc/Makefile.
XHTML could be generated from DocBook XML, but the script outputs it
directly because our DocBook is primarily intended for manual pages
and so does not have all the links that are useful in HTML.
elinks --config-help used to sort options like this:
document.history
document.history.global
document.history.global.enable
document.history.global.max_items
document.history.global.display_type
document.history.keep_unhistory
Now it'll instead be:
document.history
document.history.keep_unhistory
document.history.global
document.history.global.enable
document.history.global.max_items
document.history.global.display_type
i.e. all the options listed under a subheading are children of the
tree named by it. This makes elinks.conf(5) look saner.
This version takes about 1/300 of the time of the shell version
and fixes several errors in the output, most importantly that
option descriptions were being truncated at the first empty line.
Because help2doc is run only from make update-man, and the distributed
tarballs include prebuilt man pages, people building ELinks need not
have Perl installed.
This adopts customized docbook manpage header from git's
Documentation/asciidoc.conf and does away with a couple of
ugly hacks.
(cherry picked from commit 0ecc8b9d60,
omitting generated files)
In set and unset commands, the <option> must not be quoted. In the
sample protocol.user.mailto.unix setting, the internal quotes were
using some manpage syntax, resulting in incorrect HTML output.
It basically rewrites the nroff formatting of the elinks(1) manpage and
is mainly checked in separately to make it easier to review later
updates.
This corresponds to commit b09b149986
in ELinks 0.11.4rc0.GIT.
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)
