339cbe09 |
3 | This chapter describes each of Halibut's current \i{output formats}. |
4 | It gives some general information about the format, and also |
5 | describes all the \i{configuration directives} which are specific to |
6 | that format. |
16ea3abe |
7 | |
8 | \H{output-text} Plain text |
9 | |
339cbe09 |
10 | This output format generates the document as a single \i{plain text} |
9ec43d08 |
11 | file. No table of contents or index is generated. |
16ea3abe |
12 | |
16ea3abe |
13 | The precise formatting of the text file can be controlled by a |
14 | variety of configuration directives. They are listed in the |
15 | following subsections. |
16 | |
0a6347b4 |
17 | \S{output-text-file} Output file name |
18 | |
19 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-filename\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-filename\}\{}\e{filename}\cw{\}} |
20 | |
21 | \dd Sets the \i{output file name} in which to store the text file. |
22 | This directive is implicitly generated if you provide a file name |
23 | parameter after the command-line option \i\c{--text} (see |
24 | \k{running-options}). |
25 | |
16ea3abe |
26 | \S{output-text-dimensions} Indentation and line width |
27 | |
28 | This section describes the configuration directives which control |
339cbe09 |
29 | the \i{horizontal dimensions} of the output text file: how much |
16ea3abe |
30 | paragraphs are indented by and how long the lines are. |
31 | |
339cbe09 |
32 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-width\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-width\}\{}\e{width}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
33 | |
339cbe09 |
34 | \dd Sets the \I{text width}width of the main part of the document, |
35 | in characters. This width will be used for wrapping paragraphs and |
36 | for centring titles (if you have asked for titles to be centred - |
37 | see \k{output-text-headings}). This width does \e{not} include the |
38 | left indentation set by \cw{\\cfg\{text-indent\}}; if you specify an |
16ea3abe |
39 | indent of 8 and a width of 64, your maximum output line length will |
40 | be 72. |
41 | |
339cbe09 |
42 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-indent\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-indent\}\{}\e{indent}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
43 | |
339cbe09 |
44 | \dd Sets the left \i{indentation} for the document. If you set this |
45 | to zero, your document will look like an ordinary text file as |
46 | someone with a text editor might have written it; if you set it |
47 | above zero, the text file will have a \i{margin} down the left in |
48 | the style of some printed manuals, and you can then configure the |
49 | section numbers to appear in this margin (see |
50 | \k{output-text-headings}). |
16ea3abe |
51 | |
339cbe09 |
52 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-indent-code\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-indent-code\}\{}\e{indent}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
53 | |
54 | \dd Specifies how many extra characters of indentation (on top of |
339cbe09 |
55 | the normal left indent) should be given to \I{code paragraphs, |
56 | indentation} code paragraphs. |
16ea3abe |
57 | |

61 | bullet or number in a \I{bulletted list, indentation}bulletted or |
62 | \I{numbered list, indentation}numbered \I{list, indentation}list. |
63 | The actual body of the list item will be indented by this much |
64 | \e{plus} the value configured by \cw{\\cfg\{text-listitem-indent\}}. |
16ea3abe |
65 | |
339cbe09 |
66 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-listitem-indent\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-listitem-indent\}\{}\e{indent}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
67 | |
68 | \dd Specifies how many extra spaces should be used to indent the |
69 | body of a list item, over and above the number configured in |
70 | \cw{\\cfg\{text-list-indent\}}. |
71 | |
339cbe09 |
72 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-indent-preamble\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-indent-preamble\}\{}\e{boolean}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
73 | |
339cbe09 |
74 | \dd When this is set to \c{true}, the document \i{preamble} (i.e. any |
16ea3abe |
75 | paragraphs appearing before the first chapter heading) will be |
76 | indented to the level specified by \cw{\\cfg\{text-indent\}}. If |
77 | this setting is \c{false}, the document preamble will not be |
78 | indented at all from the left margin. |
79 | |
339cbe09 |
80 | \S{output-text-headings} \ii{Configuring heading display} |
16ea3abe |
81 | |
82 | The directives in this section allow you to configure the appearance |
83 | of the title, chapter and section headings in your text file. |
84 | |
339cbe09 |
85 | Several of the directives listed below specify the \i{alignment} of |
86 | a heading. These alignment options have three possible values: |
16ea3abe |
87 | |
339cbe09 |
88 | \dt \i\c{left} |
16ea3abe |
89 | |
90 | \dd Align the heading to the very left of the text file (column zero). |
91 | |
339cbe09 |
92 | \dt \i\c{leftplus} |
16ea3abe |
93 | |
94 | \dd Align the section title to the left of the main display region |
95 | (in other words, indented to the level specified by |
96 | \cw{\\cfg\{text-indent\}}). The section \e{number} is placed to the |
97 | left of that (so that it goes in the margin if there is room). |
98 | |
339cbe09 |
99 | \dt \i\c{centre} |
16ea3abe |
100 | |
101 | \dd Centre the heading. |
102 | |
103 | Also, several of the directives below specify how a title should be |
339cbe09 |
104 | \I{underlining}underlined. The parameter to one of these directives |
db662ca1 |
105 | should be either blank (\cw{\{\}}) or a piece of text which will be |
106 | repeated to produce the underline. So you might want to specify, for |
107 | example, \cw{\\text-title-underline\{=\}} but |
108 | \cw{\\text-chapter-underline\{\-\}}. |
109 | |
110 | You can also specify more than one underline setting, and Halibut |
111 | will choose the first one that the output character set supports. |
112 | So, for example, you could write |
65f95f6c |
113 | \cw{\\text-chapter-underline\{\\u203e\}\{\-\}}, and Halibut would use |
db662ca1 |
114 | the Unicode \q{OVERLINE} character where possible and fall back to |
115 | the ASCII minus sign otherwise. |
16ea3abe |
116 | |
339cbe09 |
117 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-title-align\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-title-align\}\{}\e{alignment}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
118 | |
119 | \dd Specifies the alignment of the overall document title: \c{left}, |
120 | \c{leftplus} or \c{centre}. |
121 | |
bdc961c7 |
122 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-title-underline\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-title-underline\}\{}\e{underline-text}\cw{\}} |

126 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-chapter-align\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-chapter-align\}\{}\e{alignment}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
127 | |

16ea3abe |
135 | |
136 | \dd If this is set to \c{true}, then chapter headings will not |
137 | contain the word \q{Chapter} (or whatever other word you have |
138 | defined in its place - see \k{input-sections} and \k{input-config}); |
139 | they will just contain the chapter \e{number}, followed by the |
140 | chapter title. If you set this to \c{false}, chapter headings will |
141 | be prefixed by \q{Chapter} or equivalent. |
142 | |
339cbe09 |
143 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{text-chapter-suffix\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{text-chapter-suffix\}\{}\e{text}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
144 | |
145 | \dd This specifies the suffix text to be appended to the chapter |
146 | number, before displaying the chapter title. For example, if you set |
b7747050 |
147 | this to \cq{:\_}, then the chapter title might look something |
16ea3abe |
148 | like \q{Chapter 2: Doing Things}. |

16ea3abe |
151 | |
152 | \dd Specifies the alignment of section headings at a particular |
153 | level. The \e{level} parameter specifies which level of section |
154 | headings you want to affect: 0 means first-level headings (\c{\\H}), |
155 | 1 means second-level headings (\c{\\S}), 2 means the level below |
156 | that (\c{\\S2}), and so on. The \e{alignment} parameter is treated |
157 | just like the other alignment directives listed above. |

16ea3abe |
164 | |
165 | \dd Specifies whether section headings at a particular level should |
166 | contain the word \q{Section} or equivalent (if \c{false}), or should |
167 | be numeric only (if \c{true}). |
168 | |
339cbe09 |

389 | |
390 | \dd Expands to the internal keyword specified in the section title. |

407 | \c{\\cfg\{xhtml-leaf-level\}\{0\}} are implicitly generated if you |

410 | |
16ea3abe |
411 | \S{output-html-split} Controlling the splitting into HTML files |
412 | |
413 | By default, the HTML output from Halibut is split into multiple |
414 | files. Each file typically contains a single chapter or section and |
415 | everything below it, unless subsections of that chapter are |
416 | themselves split off into further files. |
417 | |
418 | Most files also contain a contents section, giving hyperlinks to the |
419 | sections in the file and/or the sections below it. |
420 | |
421 | The configuration directives listed below allow you to configure the |
422 | splitting into files, and the details of the contents sections. |
423 | |

424 | \dt \I{\cw{\\cfg\{xhtml-leaf-level\}}}\cw{\\cfg\{xhtml-leaf-level\}\{}\e{depth}\cw{\}} |
16ea3abe |
425 | |
426 | \dd This setting indicates the depth of section which should be |
339cbe09 |
427 | given a \I{leaf file}\q{leaf} file (a file with no sub-files). So if |
428 | you set it to 1, for example, then every chapter will be given its |
429 | own HTML file, plus a top-level \i{contents file}. If you set this |
430 | to 2, then each chapter \e{and} each \c{\\H} section will have a |
431 | file, and the chapter files will mostly just contain links to their |
432 | \i{sub-file}s. |
16ea3abe |
433 | |
434 | \lcont{ |

438 | \i\c{Manual.html} instead of \i\c{Contents.html}. |
16ea3abe |
439 | |
0a6347b4 |
440 | This option is automatically set to zero if you provide a file name |
441 | parameter after the command-line option \i\c{--html} (see |
442 | \k{running-options}), because you have specified a single file name |
443 | and so Halibut assumes you want the whole document to be placed in |
444 | that file. |
445 | |
16ea3abe |
446 | } |

451 | contents}deep the contents section in a particular file should go. |
16ea3abe |
452 | |
453 | \lcont{ |
454 | |
455 | The \e{level} parameter indicates which level of contents section |
456 | you are dealing with. 0 denotes the main contents section in the |
457 | topmost file \c{Contents.html}; 1 denotes a contents section in a |
458 | chapter file; 2 is a contents section in a file containing a \c{\\H} |
459 | heading, and so on. Currently you can't go below level 5 (which |
460 | corresponds to a \c{\\S3} heading). |
461 | |
462 | The \e{depth} parameter indicates the maximum depth of heading which |
463 | will be shown in this contents section. Again, 1 denotes a chapter, |
464 | 2 is a \c{\\H} heading, 3 is a \c{\\S} heading, and so on. |
465 | |
466 | So, for example: \cw{\\cfg\{xhtml-contents-depth-1\}\{3\}} instructs |
467 | Halibut to put contents links in chapter files for all sections down |
468 | to \c{\\S} level, but not to go into any more detail than that. |

861 | |
862 | The point of this is so that you can use the same Halibut input file |
863 | to generate a quick-reference \cw{man} page for a program, \e{and} to |
864 | include that \cw{man} page as an appendix in your program's full manual. |
865 | If you are to include the \cw{man} page as an appendix, then the internal |
866 | headings within the page will probably need to be at \c{\\H} or |
867 | \c{\\S} level; therefore, when you format that input file on its own |
868 | to create the \cw{man} page itself, you will need to have defined a |
869 | \c{\\C} and possibly a \c{\\H} heading beforehand, which you don't |
870 | want to see displayed. |
871 | |
872 | Here's an example. You might have a file \c{appendix.but}, which |
873 | simply says |
874 | |
875 | \c \A{manpages} \cw{man} pages for the Foo tool suite |
876 | \c |
877 | \c \cfg{man-mindepth}{2} |
878 | |
879 | Then you have a file \c{make-foo.but}, and probably others like it |
880 | as well, each of which looks something like this: |
881 | |
fc8e7adb |
882 | \c \cfg{man-identity}{make-foo}{1}{June 2003}{foo-utils}{Fred |
883 | \c Bloggs} |
16ea3abe |
884 | \c |
885 | \c \H{man-foo} \cw{man} page for \c{make-foo} |
886 | \c |
887 | \c \S{man-foo-name} NAME |
888 | \c |
889 | \c \c{make-foo} - create Foo files for the Foo tool suite |
890 | \c |
891 | \c \S{man-foo-synopsis} SYNOPSIS |
892 | \c |
893 | \c ... and so on ... |
894 | \e iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii |
895 | |
896 | So when you're generating your main manual, you can include |
897 | \c{appendix.but} followed by \c{make-foo.but} and any other \cw{man} |
898 | pages you have, and your \cw{man} pages will be formatted neatly as |
899 | part of an appendix. Then, in a separate run of Halibut, you can |
900 | just do |
901 | |
902 | \c halibut appendix.but make-foo.but |
903 | |
904 | and this will generate a \cw{man} page \c{output.1}, in which the |
905 | headings \q{\cw{man} pages for the Foo tool suite} and \q{\cw{man} |
906 | page for \c{make-foo}} will not be displayed because of the |
907 | \c{man-mindepth} directive. So the first visible heading in the |
908 | output \cw{man} page will be \q{NAME}, exactly as a user would |
909 | expect. |

1130 | \dt \e{keyword} |
1131 | |
1132 | \dd This parameter is optional. If it is present, then the directory |
1133 | entry will cause a jump to a particular subsection of your document, |
1134 | rather than starting at the top. The subsection will be the one |
1135 | referred to by the given keyword (see \k{input-sections} for details |
1136 | about assigning keywords to document sections). |
1137 | |
1138 | For example, in a document describing many game programs, the |
1139 | configuration directive |
1140 | |
fc8e7adb |
1141 | \c \cfg{info-dir-entry}{Games}{Chess}{Electronic chess |
1142 | \c game}{chess} |

1145 | |
1146 | \c Games |
1147 | \c * Chess: (mygames)Chapter 3. Electronic chess game |
1148 | |
1149 | if the output file were called \c{mygames.info} and the keyword |
1150 | \c{chess} had been used to define Chapter 3 of the document. |

1192 | |
1193 | \dd Sets the \i{output file name} in which to store the PostScript |
1194 | file. This directive is implicitly generated if you provide a file |
1195 | name parameter after the command-line option \i\c{--ps} (see |
1196 | \k{running-options}). |
1197 | |
1198 | The \i{default settings} for the PostScript output format are: |

9ec43d08 |
1202 | \S{output-pdf} \i{PDF} |
0287083a |
1203 | |
1204 | This output format generates a printable manual in PDF format. This |
1205 | should look exactly identical to the PostScript output (see |
1206 | \k{output-ps}), but also uses some PDF interactive features to |
1207 | provide an outline of all the document's sections and clickable |
1208 | cross-references between sections. |
1209 | |
9ec43d08 |
1210 | There is one configuration option specific to PDF: |
