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.
The Journal, Timelog and Timedot readers' detectors now check
each line in the sample data, not just the first one. I think
the sample data is only about 30 chars right now, but even so
this fixed a format detection issue I was seeing.
Timedot is a plain text format for logging dated, categorised
quantities (eg time), supported by hledger. It is convenient for
approximate and retroactive time logging, eg when the real-time
clock-in/out required with a timeclock file is too precise or too
interruptive. It can be formatted like a bar chart, making clear at a
glance where time was spent.
