yodlmacros - Macros for the Yodl converters

This manual page lists the macros of the Yodl package.

The following list shows the macros that the Yodl converters define and which can be used in Yodl documents. Refer the long Yodl user guide, distributed with the Yodl package, for a full description.

CWabstract(text)

Defines an abstract for an CWarticle or CWreport document. Abstracts are not implemented for CWbooks or CWmanpages. Must appear before starting the document with the CWarticle or CWreport macro.

Starts a book document. The top-level sectioning command is CW(n)chapter, CW(n)part being optional. In HTML output files are created for each chapter.

CWcenter(text)

Sets CWtext centered, when the output format permits. Use CWnl() in the text to break lines.

CWchapter(title)

Starts a new chapter in CWbooks or CWreports.

CWlchapter(label)(title)

Starts a new chapter in CWbooks or CWreports, setting a label at the beginning of the chapter.

CWcite(1)

Starts a new page, when the output format permits. Under HTML a horizontal line is drawn.

CWsetlatexverbchar(char)

Set the char used to quote latex() CW\verb sequences

CWsetrofftableoptions(optionlist)

Set the options for tbl table, default: CWallbox

CWcode(text)

CWdef(macroname)(nrofargs)(redefinition)

Defines CWmacroname as a macro, having CWnrofargs arguments, and expanding to CWredefinition. This macro is a shorthand for CWDEFINEMACRO. An error occurs when the macro is already defined. Use CWredef() to unconditionally define or redefine a macro.

CWdescription(list)

Sets CWlist as a description list. Use CWdit(item) to indicate items in the list.

CWdit(itemname)

CWellipsis()

Set ellipsis.

CWeit()

Indicates an item in an enumerated list. The list is either enclosed by CWstarteit() and CWendeit(), or is an argument to CWenumerate().

CWem(text)

Sets CWtext as emphasized, usually italics.

CWemail(address)

In HTML, this macro sets the CWaddress in a CW<a href="mailto=.."> locator. In other output formats, the CWaddress is sent to the output. The CWemail macro is a special case of CWurl.

CWnemail(n)(address)

Named email (duh). A more consistent naming for url, lurl, email an nemail would be nice.

CWendcenter()

Ends centered text that is started with CWstartcenter().

CWenddit()

Ends a descriptive list that is started with CWstartdit().

CWendeit()

Ends an enumerated list that is started with CWstarteit().

CWendit()

CWfigure(file)(caption)(label)

Sets the picture in CWfile as a figure in the current document, using the descriptive text CWcaption. The CWlabel is defined as a placeholder for the figure number and can be used in a corresponding CWref statement. Note that the CWfile must be the filename without extension: YODL will supply CW.gif when in HTML mode, or CW.ps when in LaTeX mode. Figures in other modes are not (yet) implemented.

CWfile(text)

Sets CWtext as filename, usually boldface.

CWfootnote(text)

Sets CWtext as a footnote, or in parentheses when the output format does not allow footnotes.

CWgagmacrowarning(name name ...)

CWhtmlnewfile()

In HTML output, starts a new file. All other formats are not affected. Note that you must take your own provisions to access the new file; say via links. Also, it's safe to start a new file just befoore opening a new section, since sections are accessible from the clickable table of contents. The HTML converter normally only starts new files prior to a CWchapter definition.

CWhtmltag(tagname)(start)

Sets CWtagname as a HTML tag, enclosed by CW< and CW>. When CWstart is zero, the CWtagname is prefixed with CW/.

CWincludefile(file)

The LaTeX symbol.

CWlatexcommand(cmd)

Writes CWcmd to the output when converting to LaTeX. The CWcmd is not further expanded by YODL.

CWlatexdocumentclass(class)

This macro is an escape route incase you need to specify your own document class for LaTeX. This option is a modifier and must appear before the CWarticle, CWreport or CWbook macros.

CWlatexpackage(options)(name)

Include latex package(s), a useful package is, e.g., CWepsf. This command must appear before the document type is stated by CWarticle, CWreport, etc..

Set latex options: CWdocumentclass[options]. Junk this? This command must appear before the document type is stated by CWarticle, CWreport, etc..

CWlatexlayoutcmds(latexcommands)

This macro is provided incase you want to put your own LaTeX layout commands into LaTeX output. The CWlatexcommands are pasted right after the CW\documentclass stanza. The default is, of course, no local LaTeX commands. Note that this macro does not overrule my favorite LaTeX layout. Use CWnosloppyhfuzz() and CWstandardlayout() to disable my favorite LaTeX layout.

CWlangle()

Char langle

CWrangle()

Char rangle

CWlink(description)(labelname)

In HTML output a clickable link with the text CWdescription is created that points to the place where CWlabelname is defined using the CWlabel macro. Using CWlink is similar to CWurl, except that a hyperlink is set pointing to a location in the same document. For output formats other than HTML, only the CWdescription appears.

CWlref(description)(labelname)

This macro is a combination of the CWref and CWlink macros. In HTML output a clickable link with the text CWdescription and the label value is created that points to the place where CWlabelname is defined using the CWlabel macro. For output formats other than HTML, only the CWdescription and the label value appears.

CWmailto(address)

Defines the default CWmailto address for HTML output. Must appear before the document type is stated by CWarticle, CWreport, etc..

CWmancommand(cmd)

Writes CWcmd to the output when converting to man. The CWcmd is not further expanded by YODL.

CWmanpage(title)(section)(date)(source)(manual)

Starts a manual page document. The CWsection argument must be a number, stating to which section the manpage belongs to. Most often used are commands (1), file formats (5) and macro packages (7). The sectioning commands in a manpage are not CW(n)sect etc., but CWmanpage...(). The first section must be the CWmanpagename, the last section must be the CWmanpageauthor. The standard manpage for section 1 contains the following sections (in the given order): CWmanpagename, CWmanpagesynopsis, CWmanpagedescription, CWmanpageoptions, CWmanpagefiles, CWmanpageseealso, CWmanpagediagnostics, CWmanpagebugs, CWmanpageauthor.

CWendtable()

This macro ends the definition of a table. It is used internally by CWtable()

CWtable(n)(LaTeXallignment)(Contents)

The CWtable()-macro defines a table. Its first argument specifies the number of columns in the table. Its second argument specifies the LaTeX-alignment specifications: use CWl for left-alignment, CWr for right alignment, CWc for centered-alignment. The third argument defines the contents of the table which are the rows, each containing column-specifications.

Error messages and warnings are printed to stderr. There are too many warnings or error messages to enumerate, but they should be self-explanatory.

The macro package may contain bugs, but I'm working on it. Furthermore, the macro package may not be complete.
