Benno Schulenberg 42ae3e377f docs: mention some more differences with Pico in the Info document
Mention the ability to use <Tab> in the search history, the ability

the file browser.

David Lawrence Ramsey 7fac9ec51c docs: mention the ability to read from stdin
Also, remove the special "+line,column" argument from among the options,
since it isn't an option -- put it in a separate paragraph instead.

Benno Schulenberg 4920030384 docs: snip some obsolete items from the FAQ, and normalize its dates 2017-01-09 21:43:59 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 54e6fe2b4a build: install the Info and Html manuals even when 'makeinfo' is missing
If the system on which nano is configured does not have the 'makeinfo'
program installed, the prebuilt and packaged nano.info and nano.html
should nevertheless be installed.

Also, the TEXINFOS primary has built-in rules for generating HTML files
from the texinfo sources, so an explicit rule is not needed.

This indirectly addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49969.

Benno Schulenberg b0ef2e2803 build: move the syntax files out of the doc/ directory
They are not documentation, they are functional elements of nano.
2016-12-30 22:05:01 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 6981294c9d build: move all documentation into a single directory
There are just a handful of source files for the documentation --
it is wasteful and cumbersome to have these in separate directories.

Also: remove the French man pages -- they are too far out of date.
(And anyway, we should acquire a general framework for translating
the documentation.)

Benno Schulenberg fd3423f79a syntax: give the statistics part of a git patch a different color
Also, be more selective when coloring a git diff line.  And color
an svn index line too.

Benno Schulenberg 0e01080983 binding: allow to rebind the word-completion function, and document it 2016-12-07 17:18:56 +01:00
Benno Schulenberg 68a0314500 build: add configure option --disable-wordcomp to disable word completion
(The variable 'pletion_line' is not conditionalized with this option, as
it would become messy.  The compiler will probably be able to elide it.)

When using --enable-tiny, it is not possible to use --enable-wordcomp,
because the word completion function uses the undo system.

Benno Schulenberg f03f5d5b51 docs: correct and improve the description of --disable-wrapping 2016-12-04 17:14:11 +01:00
Mike Frysinger eb68cd1c6b syntax: avoid using black colors
We should avoid defining color schemes that are unreadable on common
white-on-black or black-on-white terminals.  Change the black in the
autoconf error strings to brightred for that reason.
2016-11-23 21:08:59 +01:00
Mike Frysinger e472b72565 syntax: gentoo: various updates
- make version highlight less blindly greedy and conform to real versions
- move version matching before USE matching to avoid hitting USE flags
  that look like versions
- change USE regex to match the Gentoo PMS
- extend arch match to include more keywords
- make category matching more restrictive to avoid false positives
- drop operators =< and => that Gentoo doesn't support

Benno Schulenberg c6dbcf91c3 new feature: functions to jump to previous or following block of text
And hard-bind the keys Ctrl+Up and Ctrl+Down to these functions.

Unlike the paragraph-jumping code, these new functions disregard
any indentation, treating only blank lines as separators.  They
also do an automatic smart home when that option is set.

This fulfills https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?48291.
