The latest changeset introduces two related changes, gclweb and axiom.sty. Together these changes allow optional syntactic changes to pamphlets. These changes will completely eliminate the need to weave files since now a pamphlet file can be a valid latex file. Tangle is the only remaining command and it will eventually be an option on )compile, etc. If you don't care then these changes don't affect you.
src/interp/gclweb.lisp The src/interp/gclweb.lisp file introduces the ability to extract code from pamphlet files while inside Axiom. The short description is that gclweb will now automatically distinguish the type of chunk style (latex or noweb) based on the chunk name. It is a first step to a native understanding of pamphlet files. Future work involves integrating it into commands like )compile and adding commands like )tangle. To tangle a file from within Axiom: )lisp (tangle "filename.pamphlet" "<<chunkname>>") which is noweb syntax. Output goes to the console. You can direct the output to a file with the optional third argument: )lisp (tangle "filename.pamphlet" "<<chunkname>>" "filename.spad") If you use the new latex chunk environment the syntax is: )lisp (tangle "filename.pamphlet" "chunkname") )lisp (tangle "filename.pamphlet" "chunkname" "filename.spad") gclweb distinguishes the input syntax by looking at the first character of the chunkname. If it is a '<' then noweb is used, otherwise latex. src/doc/axiom.sty.pamphlet This introduces the new chunk environment. This is a completely compatible change and has no impact on existing pamphlets. The new syntax makes pamphlet files = tex files so there is no need to use weave. The gclweb change has a compatible tangle function which can be invoked from inside Axiom. Noweb syntax of: <<chunkname>>= your code goes here @ can also be written as: \begin{chunk}{chunkname} your code goes here \end{chunk} The new syntax is entirely optional. One new feature of the latex chunk style is that latex commands work within the chunk. To get typeset mathematics use \( and \) -- This will typeset in a chunk \( x^2+\epsilon \) -- And you can format things {\bf bold} Tim _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
