Closes#2699
Fixes issues with:
* 'string' function synopsis
* Redirection display issues
* Better file & path detection
* Rendering of % & @ chars in both html and man
* @ symbol in tutorial
Improves robustness by implementing an @EOL marker to prevent hold buffer dumping extra chars after the end of an expression.
Added new '{{' and '}}' meta-chars for when you want curly braces in a regexp that was previously tripping up the lexicon.
Improve man/html presentation consistency for
* string
* printf
* prompt_pwd
* type
Use cli-styling for 'practical' examples.
Add <bs> tag for presenting content with preceding backslash.

This allows "vendors" (i.e. third-party upstreams interested in
supporting fish) to add auto-loaded functions and eager-loaded
configuration "snippets", while still allowing both the user and the administrator to
fully override all of that.
This has been inspired by systemd's configuration hierarchy, and implements a similar scheme
whereby files with the same name in higher-ranking directories override files in lower-ranking ones.
Fixes#1956
Expand globs to zero arguments (nullglob) only for set, for and count.
The warning about failing globs, and setting the accompanying $status,
now happens regardless of mode, interactive or not.
It is assumed that the above commands are the common cases where
nullglob behaviour is desirable.
More importantly, doing this with `set` is a real feature enabler,
since the resulting empty array can be passed on to any command.
The previous behaviour was actually all nullglob (since commit
cab115c8b9), but this was undocumented;
the failglob warning was still printed in interactive mode,
and the documentation was bragging about failglob behaviour.
This changes the default escape timeout for the default keybindings (emacs
mode) to 300ms and the default for vi keybindings to 10ms.
I couldn't resist fixing a few nits in the fish_vi_key_bindings.fish file
since I was touching it to set the escape timeout.
This reduces code duplication and adds some previously unavailable
bindings that don't quite _violate_ the vi-principle (like
prevd-or-backward-word on alt-left) and matches other "impure" bindings
like \cf for forward-word (a quite emacs-ish binding) we already have.

Apparently, in zsh, Meta+H can be used to display the manpage for
the current command. This commit adds this zsh feature to fish shell.
The F1 keybinding is left, although it's now secondary according to
fish help, as some terminal emulators don't let the user press F1 key.
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.
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.
- Clarify wording in functions section
- Use the term aliases rather than wrappers
- Clarification of concepts and better? examples in variable expansion
- Likewise in environment variables
- Using the phrase builtin commands rather than builtins
- Tidy up keybindings a bit
- Another example in the history section
- Remove TODO section in favour of mailing list, GitHub and IRC link
