[vee] summary of new features
--
1) Filters
Filters take in the raw text, perform some actions (not necessar-
ily on the text) and spit out what should be taken as the raw
text when finished. It is this that is then formatted.
* The default filter is "./vee-pre" and it should be placed in
the publish directory.
* To specify a custom filter, use the "-x /path/to/filter" argu-
ment.
* Filters must be executable.
* Two sample filters are in the newly included "sample-filters/"
directory: vee-pre and vee-filter.pl.
2) Custom format funcs
This feature is largely untested, but it doesn't seem to break
traditional usage :). Anyway, one would set the following vari-
ables directly in vee:
Default format function:
FORMAT_FUNC=format_with_groff
Set format dispatcher (new formats require editing default dis-
patcher or specifying a new one:
FORMAT_DISPATCHER=default_set_format_func
Define script where new format functions are defined; default is
unset:
FORMAT_CUSTOM_DEFS=
Note: while it is very tempting separate all formatting functions
into a different file, I am going to resist the urge for now. I
just think that making the default system require more than a
single file violates my original goals. Making this external
file optional allows users to upgrade the core vee with out hav-
ing to worry about their customizations getting blown away.
