This same markup language works with the rem2pdf, rem2html + and TkRemind back-ends. This feature was triggered by a request + from Joel Young. See the section "FORMATTED REMINDERS" in the + remind(1) man page for details. + + NOTE: In the terminal, marked-up reminders are formatted specially + only if the "-@" command-line option is used. + + Marked-up reminders are indicated with either: + REM ... SPECIAL FORMATTED <b>Markup!</b> + or: + REM ... FMT <b>Markup!</b> + + The latter is merely syntactic sugar for the former. + + ***** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS: ***** + + Whereas Remind has typically been pretty chill about what you put in + the body of a REM command, treating it as just a bunch of bytes, for + FMT-style reminders, you have to use valid multibyte characters. If + you use a UTF-8 locale, that means everything after the FMT has to + be valid UTF-8 or else Remind will throw an error. That's because + it has to parse the body of the reminder rather than treating it as + a bunch of bytes. + + If you are not using a UTF-8 locale... you should be. + + ***** IMPORTANT NOTE FOR BACK-END AUTHORS: ***** + + If you maintain a Remind back-end that consumes "remind -pp" or + "remind -ppp" output, FMT-style reminders are given a "passthru" + value of "FORMATTED". By default, your back-end should ignore these + reminders. + + If you run Remind with the "--no-fmt" option, however, FMT-style + reminders have the formatting tags stripped and are sent to the + back-end as normal MSG-style reminders (i.e., no "passthru") + + Back-end authors have three choices: + + 1) Do nothing and ignore FORMATTED reminders. + + 2) Invoke Remind with --no-fmt (or tell users to do so) so that + FORMATTED reminders are treated as unformatted reminders. + + 3) Actually support the FORMATTED passthru by interpreting the + markup yourself. + +- DEPRECATIONS: Both rem2html and rem2pdf issue a deprecation warning + if fed data from "remind -p". You should use "remind -pp" or + "remind -ppp" with both of those back-ends; the older "-p" interchange + format cannot communicate all the information the back-ends need to + reliable handle FMT-style reminders. + +- MINOR NEW FEATURE: remind: You can specify the reminder script to read + with a "--file=pathname" option. This simplifies writing wrapper scripts + that pre-set a default file because you can have options that come after + the filename. This same option applies to the "rem" symbolic link too. + Suggested by Ian! D. Allen. + +- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: Running "tkremind --version" works even + if there's no X11 display. Suggested by Tim Chase. + +- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: remind: The variable $DefaultColour is an alias + for $DefaultColor; either may be set with the same effect. + +- MINOR IMPROVEMENT: TkRemind: When running the Remind daemon, + tkremind would leave an extraneous /bin/sh process running too. + This has been fixed. + +- DOCUMENTATION IMPROVEMENT: Merge the rem(1) and remind(1) man pages + based on a suggestion from Ian! D. Allen. + +- CONSISTENCY IMPROVEMENT: rem: Look first at the environment variable + $REMIND_FILE and then fall back on $DOTREMINDERS. This is for + consistency with the --file= command-line option. + +- MINOR DOCUMENTATION IMPROVEMENTS: remind: Added a few clarifications + to the remind(1) man page. + +- TEST IMPROVEMENTS: Add tests for rem2html and rem2pdf. + Unfortunately, the output of rem2pdf differs based on the Pango + version, so this test is not run by default. + +- BUG FIX: remind: "remind -c" would sometimes split a line early when + the next word on the line would have fit in the calendar box (and thus + could make the calendar box unnecessarily high.) This has been fixed. + +- BUG FIX: tkremind: If tkremind is invoked on a filename containing a + dash, it could get confused and interpret the filename as command-line + options, with confusion and hilarity ensuing. + +------------------------------------------------------------------- Old: ---- remind-06.02.10.tar.gz New: ---- remind-06.03.00.tar.gz ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Other differences: ------------------ ++++++ remind.spec ++++++ --- /var/tmp/diff_new_pack.Kdwc8c/_old 2026-08-24 15:48:38.394440600 +0200 +++ /var/tmp/diff_new_pack.Kdwc8c/_new 2026-08-24 15:48:38.396440671 +0200 @@ -17,9 +17,9 @@ Name: remind -Version: 6.2.10 +Version: 6.3.0 Release: 0 -%define tar_version 06.02.10 +%define tar_version 06.03.00 Summary: A sophisticated calendar and alarm program License: GPL-2.0-only Group: Productivity/Office/Organizers ++++++ remind-06.02.10.tar.gz -> remind-06.03.00.tar.gz ++++++ /work/SRC/openSUSE:Factory/remind/remind-06.02.10.tar.gz /work/SRC/openSUSE:Factory/.remind.new.1258/remind-06.03.00.tar.gz differ: char 5, line 1
