Changelog:
6.7 (23 September 2019)
* Language:
. support of index subentries and sub-subentries with @subentry
. new commands @seeentry and @seealso in index entries
. no need to wrap Top node in @ifnottex - omitted automatically when
processed with TeX
. UTF-8 is the default input encoding
* texi2any
. for HTML output, mark index nodes in menus and tables of contents
with the 'rel' attribute of the 'a' tag.
. TOP_NODE_UP is now only used in HTML if TOP_NODE_UP_URL is set.
Also TOP_NODE_UP should now be formatted in the output format.
In HTML TOP_NODE_UP should be suitable for inclusion in HTML
element attributes, so for instance should not contain elements.
. support of noderename.cnf files has been removed
. INPUT_PERL_ENCODING, INPUT_ENCODING_NAME, NODE_FILE_EXTENSION,
NODE_FILENAMES, SHORTEXTN and TOP_NODE_FILE removed as customization
variables.
. TOP_NODE_FILE_TARGET now contains the extension.
. error messages translated when the XS parser module is in use
* texi2dvi
. unconditionally run in --batch mode, i.e. without stopping if there
is a TeX error
. keep on going after a TeX error if the index files changed
. with --tidy (or --build-dir), avoid reading index files from previous
runs where --tidy was not used
* info
. for a tree search (with M-/), '}' and '{' work as well as 'M-}' and
'M-{' to go through the results
* Distribution:
. Several obsolete portability checks removed
. gettext 0.20.1, automake 1.16.1
6.6 (16 February 2019)
* Language:
. new commands @&, @ampchar{}
. @cropmarks command removed
. @ctrl is no longer recognised (it was a way to insert literal
control characters in Info files, but deprecated since the
time of Texinfo version 2)
. \usebracesinindexestrue is no longer recommended for using braces in
index entries, and has been a no-op for some time
* texi2any
. extension modules fixed to work with the "thread-safe locales" of
Perl 5.28 and newer
. some code changed to stop warnings being given by newer versions of Perl
. for HTML output, use `id' to define link targets instead of the `name'
attribute on <a>
. A native-code implementation of the Texinfo parser has been included
on an experimental basis, which makes texi2any a lot faster. Set the
`TEXINFO_XS_PARSER' environment variable to 1 to use.
. changes to HTML output:
. omit colon after node name in menus by default (use
`MENU_ENTRY_COLON' to add it back)
. no special CSS for commands like @smallexample
. new customization variable `SECTION_NAME_IN_TITLE' to use the
section name as the document <title>
. use section names instead of node names in generated menus
. pass on flags set with -D to TeX
. useless static libraries are not installed
. the newline after an @insertcopying is not output
. warning given for @multitable prototypes not in braces
. @indent and @noindent are not allowed inside the arguments to
commands where they are not meaningful
. @quote-arg and @allow-recursion are not recognised (these two used
to be recognised by makeinfo in macro definitions but were never
implemented in texinfo.tex)
. `FIX_TEXINFO' removed as a customization variable
. do not recognise or warn about obsolete customization variables
* info
. debugging output with -x is not diverted to a separate infodebug file
