This enhances our documentation to look for the file
/release_version.json in the root of our site. If found, and if it
contains a RELEASE_VERSION other than this version, then unhide a banner
warning about the stale documentation and linking to the current.
Recent synopsis changes move from literal code blocks to
[RST line blocks]. This does not translate well to HTML: it's not
rendered in monospace, so aligment is lost. Additionally, we don't
get syntax highlighting in HTML, which adds differences to our code
samples which are highlighted.
We hard-wrap synopsis lines (like code blocks). To align continuation
lines in manpages we need [backslashes in weird places]. Combined with
the **, *, and `` markup, it's a bit hard to get the alignment right.
Fix these by moving synopsis sources back to code blocks and compute
HTML syntax highlighting and manpage markup with a custom Sphinx
extension.
The new Pygments lexer can tokenize a synopsis and assign the various
highlighting roles, which closely matches fish's syntax highlighing:
- command/keyword (dark blue)
- parameter (light blue)
- operator like and/or/not/&&/|| (cyan)
- grammar metacharacter (black)
For manpage output, we don't project the fish syntax highlighting
but follow the markup convention in GNU's man(1):
bold text type exactly as shown.
italic text replace with appropriate argument.
To make it easy to separate these two automatically, formalize that
(italic) placeholders must be uppercase; while all lowercase text is
interpreted literally (so rendered bold).
This makes manpages more consistent, see string-join(1) and and(1).
Implementation notes:
Since we want manpage formatting but Sphinx's Pygments highlighing
plugin does not support manpage output, add our custom "synopsis"
directive. This directive parses differently when manpage output is
specified. This means that the HTML and manpage build processes must
not share a cache, because the parsed doctrees are cached. Work around
this by using separate cache locations for build targets "sphinx-docs"
(which creates HTML) and "sphinx-manpages". A better solution would
be to only override Sphinx's ManualPageBuilder but that would take a
bit more code (ideally we could override ManualPageWriter but Sphinx
4.3.2 doesn't really support that).
---
Alternative solution: stick with line blocks but use roles like
:command: or :option: (or custom ones). While this would make it
possible to produce HTML that is consistent with code blocks (by adding
a bit of CSS), the source would look uglier and is harder to maintain.
(Let's say we want to add custom formatting to the [|] metacharacters
in HTML. This is much easier with the proposed patch.)

The next commit will load another of our Python extensions from a
separate file. That extension will contain more than just a Pygments
lexer, so instead of using a function that can only load a lexer,
just import from the module to keep things consistent.
Documents like fish-tutorial don't need the NAME portion below.
(they also shoudln't be in section 1! These should be section 7,
they aren't for programs.)
the manpage writer will skip NAME if given an empty sstring as
the description.

This allows
sphinx-build -blinkcheck . /dev/null
To be used without getting rate-limited to hell by github because the
release notes include hundreds of links to our own issues. Just assume
all issue numbers are valid.
pdflatex simply doesn't cut it.
This still results in an awkward pdf that starts with "Further
Reading" (the intro section is placed before it, but doesn't have a
chapter marker!) and ends with a massive "Other help pages" chapter
that includes *the entire rest of the docs*.
But it's generally readable and acceptably formatted (with a lot of
empty pages in between).
Apparently new sphinxen want to create an *additional* section
directory, so things end up in /usr/share/fish/man/man1/1, instead of /usr/share/fish/man/man1
Why? No idea.
I can't reproduce it but I'm told this section fixes it.
Fixes#7996
This breaks apart the massive "index" document into
1. An "index" document that explains how to install and set up fish
and links to the other documents
2. A "fish-language" document that describes the syntax and semantics
of the language
3. A "fish-interactive" document that describes how to use fish
interactively
No change to the content has been made, only the parts have been moved
from index and some of the formatting (links and header levels) were
fixed.
See #7348.
And again clang-format does something I don't like:
- if (found != end && std::strncmp(found->name, name, len) == 0 && found->name[len] == 0) return found;
+ if (found != end && std::strncmp(found->name, name, len) == 0 && found->name[len] == 0)
+ return found;
I *know* this is a bit of a long line. I would still quite like having
no brace-less multi-line if *ever*. Either put the body on the same
line, or add braces.
Blergh
This allows us to write the changelog reasonably simply.
The biggest downside is that pandoc won't be able to handle it anymore
when converting to markdown, but
sphinx-markdown-builder (https://github.com/codejamninja/sphinx-markdown-builder)
should be able to handle it.
Released under the Python Software Foundation License, this one
doesn't look awful (no green top bar, huzzah!).
Lightly forked it to remove the donation footer (we don't take any)
and to change the python references to fish references.
The image is just our favicon, which is a stylized "f" and therefore
not fantastic (are we facebook?), but it's the best I found, and the
thing before had no images at all.
Fixes#6500
(as far as I'm concerned)
