Move to a newer stackage snapshot. This helps ensure a new-enough pandoc
will more be available for doc building without needing extra
compilation. Also we get to use the latest swagger and servant-swagger
for hledger-api, but we have to go to stackage nightly. With luck there
will be a lts 6 before next hledger release.
We now parse account directives, like Ledger's. We don't do anything
with them yet. The default parent account feature must now be spelled
"apply account"/"end apply account".
Since commit 7aab544, "-f -" before the command broke command
detection, causing spurious "no such option" errors (and breaking
about 70 functional tests which neither I nor travis noticed).
Eg drop the flaky github ones, and reduce layout popping by moving them
to the end of lines/sections and specifying image dimensions (requires
pandoc 1.16). The image widths can change, hopefully I've specified the
max width in each case.
- Docs are now collected on a single page
- Lots of copy updates
- The front page is less cluttered
- More whitespace at the sides
- The (still WIP) man pages are now linked
- Describe and link to plaintextaccounting.org
Goal:
Generate man pages and web docs from one source.
Current plan:
The master docs for each package are now the pandoc-style
manpage-markdown files in the package directories -
hledger/hledger.1.md, hledger-lib/hledger_journal.5.md, etc.
Parts of these will be marked as web-only, and parts as man-only, using
divs recognisable by custom pandoc filters.
When generating man pages we strip the web-only parts, and all html
blocks, inline html and hyperlinks.
When generating web docs we strip the man-only parts and apply any other
tweaks needed for easy presentation, perhaps combining them into a
single web page similar to the old user manual.
Shake:
This was hard to do with GNU Make, and so I've introduced Shake, which
is working very well. Both coexist for now but it's probably time to
switch.
