For the details of the thread language, see L below. =head1 CLASS METHODS =over 4 =item new(ARGS) Create a new App::DocKnot::Spin::Thread object. A single converter object can be used repeatedly to convert a tree of files, or can convert a single file. ARGS should be a hash reference with one or more of the following keys, all of which are optional: =over 4 =item output The path to the root of the output tree when converting a tree of files. This will be used to calculate relative path names for generating inter-page links using the provided C argument. If C is given, this option should also always be given. =item sitemap An App::DocKnot::Spin::Sitemap object. This will be used to create inter-page links and implement the C<\sitemap> command. For inter-page links, the C argument must also be provided. =item source The path to the root of the input tree. If given, and if the input tree appears to be a Git repository, C will be used to get more accurate last modification timestamps for files, which in turn are used to add last modified dates to the footer of the generated page. =item style-url The base URL for style sheets. A style sheet specified in a C<\heading> command will be considered to be relative to this URL and this URL will be prepended to it. If this option is not given, the name of the style sheet will be used verbatim as its URL, except with C<.css> appended. =item versions An App::DocKnot::Spin::Versions object. This will be used as the source of data for the C<\release> and C<\version> commands. =back =back =head1 INSTANCE METHODS =over 4 =item spin_thread(THREAD[, INPUT]) Convert the given thread to HTML, returning the result. When run via this API, App::DocKnot::Spin::Thread will not be able to obtain sitemap information even if a sitemap was provided and therefore will not add inter-page links. INPUT, if given, is the full path to the original source file, used for relative paths and modification time information. =item spin_thread_file([INPUT[, OUTPUT]]) Convert a single thread file to HTML. INPUT is the path of the thread file and OUTPUT is the path of the output file. OUTPUT or both INPUT and OUTPUT may be omitted, in which case standard input or standard output, respectively, will be used. If OUTPUT is omitted, App::DocKnot::Spin::Thread will not be able to obtain sitemap information even if a sitemap was provided and therefore will not add inter-page links. =item spin_thread_output(THREAD, INPUT, TYPE[, OUTPUT]) Convert the given thread to HTML, writing the result to OUTPUT. If OUTPUT is not given, write the results to standard output. This is like spin_thread() but does use sitemap information and adds inter-page links. It should be used when the thread input is the result of an intermediate conversion step of a known input file. INPUT should be the full path to the original source file, used for relative paths and modification time information. TYPE should be set to a one-word description of the format of the input file and is used for the page footer. =back =head1 THREAD LANGUAGE =head2 Basic Syntax A thread file is Unicode text with a blank line between paragraphs. There is no need to explicitly mark paragraphs; paragraph boundaries will be inferred from the blank line between them and the appropriate C<<

>> tags will be added to the HTML output. There is no need to escape any character except C<\> (which should be written as C<\\>) and an unbalanced C<[> or C<]> (which should be written as C<\entity[91]> or C<\entity[93]> respectively). Escaping C<[> or C<]> is not necessary if the brackets are balanced within the paragraph, and therefore is only rarely needed. Commands begin with C<\>. For example, the command to insert a line break (corresponding to the C<<
>> tag in HTML) is C<\break>. If the command takes arguments, they are enclosed in square brackets after the command. If there are multiple arguments, they are each enclosed in square brackets and follow each other. Any amount of whitespace (but nothing else) is allowed between the command and the arguments, or between the arguments. So, for example, all of the following are entirely equivalent: \link[index.html][Main page] \link [index.html] [Main page] \link[index.html] [Main page] \link [index.html] [Main page] (C<\link> is a command that takes two arguments.) Command arguments may contain paragraphs of text, other commands, and so forth, nested arbitrarily (although this may not make sense for all arguments of all commands, of course). Some commands take an additional optional formatting instruction argument. That argument is enclosed in parentheses and placed before any other arguments. It specifies the C attribute for that HTML tag, for use with style sheets, or the C attribute, for use with style sheets or as an anchor. If the argument begins with C<#>, it will be taken to be an C. Otherwise, it will be taken as a C. For example, a first-level heading is normally written as: \h1[Heading] (with one argument). Either of the following will add a class attribute of C

to that HTML container that can be referred to in style sheets: \h1(header)[Heading] \h1 (header) [Heading] and the following would add an id attribute of C to the heading so that it could be referred to with the anchor C<#intro>: \h1(#intro)[Introduction] Note that the heading commands have special handling for C attributes; see below for more details. =head2 Basic Format There are two commands that are required to occur in every document. The first is C<\heading>, which must occur before any regular page text. It takes two arguments: the page title (the title that shows up in the window title bar for the browser and is the default text for bookmarks, not anything that's displayed as part of the body of the page), and the style sheet to use. If there is no style sheet for this page, the second argument is still required but should be empty (C<[]>). The second required command is C<\signature>, which must be the last command in the file. C<\signature> will take care of appending the signature, appending navigation links, closing any open blocks, and any other cleanup that has to happen at the end of a generated HTML page. You can include other files with the C<\include> command, although it has a few restrictions. The C<\include> command must appear either at the beginning of the file or after a blank line, and should be followed by a blank line. Be careful not to include the same file recursively as there is no current protection against infinite loops. Thread files will not be automatically respun when included files change, so you will need touch the thread file to force the corresponding output file to be regenerated. All further thread commands are divided into block commands and inline commands. These roughly correspond to HTML 5's "flow content" and "phrasing content" respectively. =head2 Block Commands Block commands are commands that should occur in a paragraph by themselves, not contained in a paragraph with other text. They indicate high-level structural elements of the page. C<\heading> and C<\include> were already discussed above, but here is a complete list. Any argument of TEXT can be multiple paragraphs and contain other embedded block commands (so you can nest a list inside another list, for example). =over 4 =item \block[TEXT] Put TEXT in an indented block, equivalent to C<<
>> in HTML. Used primarily for quotations or license statements embedded in regular text. =item \bullet[TEXT] TEXT is formatted as an item in a bullet list. This is like C<<
  • >> inside C<<
  • tag in the generated HTML, so it can be used to set various HTML attributes like C that aren't easily accessible in a portable fashion from style sheets. BODY is the body of the table, which should generally consist exclusively of C<\tablehead> and C<\tablerow> commands. An example table: \table[rules="cols" borders="1"][ \tablehead [Older Versions] [Webauth v3] \tablerow [suauthSidentSrvtab] [WebAuthKeytab] \tablerow [suauthFailAction] [WebAuthLoginURL] \tablerow [suauthDebug] [WebAuthDebug] \tablerow [suauthProxyHeader] [(use mod_headers)] ] =item \tablehead[CELL][CELL] ... A heading row in a table. C<\tablehead> takes any number of CELL arguments, wraps them all in a C<< >> table row tag, and puts each cell inside C<< >> table row tag, and puts each cell inside C<<
    >>. If a cell should have a class attribute, use a C<\class> command around the CELL text. The class attribute will be "lifted" up to become an attribute of the enclosing C<< >> tag. =item \tablerow[CELL][CELL] ... A regular row in a table. C<\tablerow> takes any number of CELL arguments, wraps them all in a C<<
    >>. If a cell should have a class attribute, use a C<\class> command around the CELL text. The class attribute will be "lifted" up to become an attribute of the enclosing C<< >> tag. =back =head2 Inline Commands Inline commands can be used in the middle of a paragraph intermixed with other text. Most of them are simple analogs to their HTML counterparts. All of the following take a single argument (the enclosed text), an optional formatting instruction, and map to simple HTML tags: \bold (usually use \strong) \cite \code \emph \italic (usually use \emph) \strike (should use styles) \strong \sub \sup \under (should use styles) Here are the other inline commands: =over 4 =item \break A forced line break, C<<
    >> in HTML. =item \class[TEXT] Does nothing except wrap TEXT in an HTML C<< >> tag. The only purpose of this command is to use it with a formatting instruction to generate an HTML C attribute on the C<< >> tag. For example, you might write: \class(red)[A style sheet can make this text red.] and then use a style sheet that changes the text color for class C. =item \entity[CODE] An HTML entity with code CODE. This normally becomes C<&CODE;> or C<&#CODE;> in the generated HTML, depending on whether CODE is entirely numeric. Use C<\entity[91]> and C<\entity[93]> for unbalanced C<[> and C<]> characters, respectively. Thread source is UTF-8, so this command is normally only necessary to escape unbalanced square brackets. =item \image[URL][TEXT] Insert an inline image. TEXT is the alt text for the image (which will be displayed on non-graphical browsers). Height and width tags are added automatically if the URL is a relative path name and the corresponding file exists and is supported by the Perl module Image::Size. =item \link[URL][TEXT] Create a link to URL with link text TEXT. Equivalent to C<< >>. =item \release[PACKAGE] If the C argument was provided, replaced with the latest release date of PACKAGE. The date will be in the UTC time zone, not the local time zone. =item \size[FILE] Replaced with the size of FILE in B, KB, MB, GB, or TB as is most appropriate, without decimal places. The next largest unit is used if the value is larger than 1024. 1024 is used as the scaling factor, not 1000. =item \version[PACKAGE] If the C argument was provided, replaced with the latest version of PACKAGE. =back =head2 Defining Variables and Macros One of the reasons to use thread instead of HTML is the ability to define new macros on the fly. If there are constructs that are used more than once in the page, you can define a macro at the top of that page and then use it throughout the page. A variable can be defined with the command: \=[VARIABLE][VALUE] where VARIABLE is the name that will be used (can only be alphanumerics plus underscore) and VALUE is the value that string will expand into. Any later occurrence of \=VARIABLE in the file will be replaced with . For example: \=[FOO][some string] will cause any later occurrences of C<\=FOO> in the file to be replaced with the text C. Consider using this to collect external URLs for links at the top of a page for easy updating. A macro can be defined with the command: \==[NAME][NARGS][DEFINITION] where NAME is the name of the macro (again consisting only of alphanumerics or underscore), NARGS is the number of arguments that it takes, and DEFINITION is the definition of the macro. When the macro is expanded, any occurrence of C<\1> in the definition is replaced with the first argument, any occurrence of C<\2> with the second argument, and so forth, and then the definition with those substitutions is parsed as thread, as if it were written directly in the source page. For example: \==[bolddesc] [2] [\desc[\bold[\1]][\2]] defines a macro C<\bolddesc> that takes the same arguments as the regular C<\desc> command but always wraps the first argument, the heading, in C<< >>. =head1 AUTHOR Russ Allbery =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright 1999-2011, 2013, 2021-2022 Russ Allbery Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
