Completely fixes#1557 and the underlying Doxygen changes that caused
it. Should make fish docs simpler and more robust, more consistent and
generally prettier.
todo:
- trap unmarked text as arguments in context
- test & fix sed portability - see in particular. (so far tested on BSD
(Mac) and GNU sed).
- test Makefile changes
- last round of aesthetic changes and getting that ascii fish in there…
Addresses issue #1557 as well as fixing many typos, HTML errors and
inconsistencies. Also introduces automatic syntax colouring and enables
new documentation to be written in Markdown. TODO fix Tutorial.
Rework for Doxygen >1.8. Moved large parts of the documentation to a
simplified format, making use of Markdown enhancements and fixing bad
long options.
IFS is used for more than just the read builtin. Setting it to the empty
string also disables line-splitting in command substitution, and it's
done this for the past 7 years. Some day we may have a better way to do
this, but for now, document the current solution.
The docs claimed that the $HOME and $USER variables could only be
changed by the root user. This is untrue. They can be changed by
non-root users as well.
Add the --wraps option to 'complete' and 'function'. This allows a
command to (recursively) inherit the completions of a wrapped command.
Fixes#393.
When evaluating a completion, we inspect the entire "wrap chain" for a
command, i.e. we follow the sequence of wrapping until we either hit a
loop (which we silently ignore) or the end of the chain. We then
evaluate completions as if the wrapping command were substituted with
the wrapped command. Currently this only works for commands, i.e.
'complete --command gco --wraps git\ checkout' won't work (that would
seem to encroaching on abbreviations anyways). It might be useful to
show an error message for that case.
The commandline builtin reflects the commandline with the wrapped
command substituted in, so e.g. git completions (which inspect the
command line) will just work. This sort of command line munging is
also performed by 'complete -C' so it's not totally without precedent.
'alias will also now mark its generated function as wrapping the
'target.

Enhance the `read` builtin to support creating an array with the --array
flag. With --array, only a single variable name is allowed and the
entire input is tokenized and placed into that variable as an array.
Also add custom behavior if IFS is empty or unset. In that event, split
the input on every character, instead of the previous behavior of doing
no splitting at all.
The --quiet flag is useful when only the exit status matters.
Fix the documentation for the -t flag to no longer claim that `type` can
print "keyword", as it never does that.
Stop printing a blank line for functions/builtins when the -p flag has
been passed. It's just not useful.
The mode restricts the scope in which the variable is searched for.
Use this new restricted scope functionality in the `set` builtin. This
fixes `set -g` to not show local shadowing variable values, and also
allows for scoped erasing of slices.
Presently, `isatty` only works on a handful of keywords. Here it
is rewritten to be able to take any path, device or fd number as
an argument, and eliminates errors printed to stdout.
Per discussion in #1228, using `builtin test -c` within a pipe to
test special file descriptors is not viable, so this implementation
specifcially uses `command test`. Additionally, a note has been
added to the documentation of `test` regarding this potential
aberration from the expected output of the test utility under the
'Standards' section.
plus speling in documentation for bind.
Note that this commit does not re-enable the generation of the manpage for
test, which will therefore still fall through to the system manual page with
`man test`.
