The manual is authored man-page style: every synopsis, example, option
table, and description sits in one 4-space-indented block. On the site
that renders as a single unhighlighted grey slab, because an indented
block declares no language.
Split each block into its paragraphs at site-build time and classify
them: synopsis and shell examples become ```fish fences, descriptions
become real prose, and column-aligned reference tables keep their
indentation. 175 blocks now highlight; the 412 lines of genuine tables
are left alone.
The transform is site-only. docs/manual/** keeps the indented form the
pandoc man-page pipeline and config-help depend on, and a test enforces
that no fence is ever written back to the SSOT.
Also:
- Point Expressive Code at the bundled Catppuccin Mocha/Latte themes so
code blocks match the palette in catppuccin.css.
- Build the functions sidebar group explicitly. `autogenerate` labelled
it with the raw directory slug and republished the directory index as
a child of the group it already titled, producing the duplicate
"Functions Reference" row.
- Skip `Synopsis:` lines when deriving card descriptions; they restated
the calling convention the card already shows as its title.
- Widen the palette: tinted heading levels, inline code, links, card
hover accents, aside accents, and table headers.
Fixes a bug where _split_entries stripped the leading indentation of an
entry's first line, detaching `Synopsis:` from the block it opens.
Add build_manual.build_site(), which walks docs/manual and emits the
Astro Starlight content collection: plain pages copied with pipeline-only
frontmatter (man/site/manTitle/helpKeywords) stripped, and *-functions/
category files exploded into one page per function plus a CardGrid/LinkCard
overview. Writes src/sidebar.json for astro.config.mjs to import. Wires
--site alongside the existing --concat flag.
Fixes two latent defects found while building the real site against the
strict content.config.ts schema:
- _split_entries now tracks fenced code blocks (like
manualtools.shift_headings does) so a `## ` inside a fence can't be
mistaken for an entry boundary.
- LinkCard title/description are escaped for JSX attribute context, since
shell synopses routinely contain `<placeholder>` angle brackets that
would otherwise open unterminated MDX/JSX parsing.
Also fixes the generated sidebar shape for the functions category: Starlight
0.39+ dropped support for a bare `autogenerate` sibling of `label` on a
top-level group, so the autogenerate config now nests inside `items`.
Verified with a full `astro build` (temporarily pointing astro.config.mjs
at the generated sidebar.json, then reverted since replacing that config
is a later task's deliverable): 120 pages built cleanly, no
content-collection/frontmatter/MDX errors.
index.md is both the man-page LANDING section and a Starlight content
page. Astro errors on any frontmatter key outside the fixed
man/site/manTitle/helpKeywords schema, so folding the source
fish-config.md pandoc header (title/section/header/date/author) onto
index.md under a fifth "pandoc" key would break the docs-site build
the moment it's scaffolded.
Relocate that block to docs/manual/_pandoc.yml: a plain, fence-free
YAML file that Astro content collections ignore (leading underscore).
split-manual.py now extracts it as raw text (no yaml.safe_load/
safe_dump round-trip) so build-manual.py's --concat re-emits it
byte-for-byte instead of merely "verbatim" in comment only. Also guard
build_concat against a manual/ tree with no _pandoc.yml/index.md,
removing the unconditional index.md parse that previously raised
FileNotFoundError on such a tree.
Regenerated docs/manual/ via split-manual.py; concat output remains
byte-identical to the pre-migration docs/fish-config.md.
Adds docs/build-manual.py (--concat) and a round-trip test in
verify-manual.py that reproduces the pre-migration fish-config.md
exactly from docs/manual/.
Fixes found by the round-trip check, applied in split-manual.py and
re-run to regenerate docs/manual/:
- NAME/SYNOPSIS/TABLE OF CONTENTS had no sidebar.order, so they sorted
after every numbered section instead of interleaving with DESCRIPTION
in original document order. All manual pages now get sidebar.order
from a single position counter matching source order.
- split_h1/split_h2 used .strip() on section bodies, which also ate
leading indentation on the first body line, corrupting the 4-space
indented code blocks that open SYNOPSIS and TABLE OF CONTENTS.
- The source's leading pandoc metadata block (title/section/header/
date/author) was discarded entirely by the splitter. It's now parsed
off via manualtools.parse and stashed on index.md under a "pandoc"
key; build-manual.py re-emits it verbatim ahead of the first heading.
