Add a new Troubleshooting section to the manual with 9 concise how-to
subsections covering uninstall/revert, Fish version requirements,
disabling logging, changing the greeting, secrets/local config, the
return sentinel gotcha, missing dependencies, Vi mode keybindings,
and minimal mode.
Renumber Viewing This Manual from Section 11 to Section 12 to place
troubleshooting before it. Update TOC and help index accordingly.
All verify-manual.py checks pass.
Every ruled table in the SSOT used one solid rule under the header
except the "Fish Universal Variables" table, which used the other
(per-column, RST-style) convention build-manual.py just learned to
also accept. Two conventions for the same thing with no reason for
the split, so convert the outlier to match the other six.
The parser keeps supporting both — the per-column style stays a
useful fallback for anyone still authoring that way — this just
makes our own SSOT consistent.
_as_table() only detects tables whose data rows are indented deeper
than a ":"-terminated label. The "Component Reference" tables use a
different convention (header, dashed rule, rows all at the same
indent), so they never matched and fell through to a plain indented
code block on the Starlight site.
Add _as_ruled_table() to recognize that header+rule+rows shape. It
supports N columns, folds word-wrapped continuation lines into the
previous row, and backtick-escapes cells containing "<" or "{" instead
of rejecting the table outright (unlike _as_table's stricter guard,
which those tables would otherwise trip on for angle-bracket
placeholders and brace globs).
Also fixes four ambiguous rows in 07-customization.md where two
columns had collapsed to a single space, making them indistinguishable
from a word-wrapped continuation.
Rename the Starlight site to "Rootiest Fish Config" and switch its
canonical URL from the Cloudflare Pages subdomain to
fish-config.rootiest.fyi (now aliased in Cloudflare). Updates all
references in README, config-help, open-url, and the manual, and
regenerates the concat/man-page artifacts to match.
Function EXAMPLE blocks now render as their own fish fence titled
"Examples" (matching the existing "Usage" title on the Synopsis fence),
triggered by a flat Example: label line mirroring the Synopsis: prefix.
Prose pages get two new generic titling signals in _render_para: a bare
indented path ending in a known extension is titled by its basename, and
a leading "# in <file>" / "# <file>" comment on a shell paragraph is
promoted to the fence title and stripped from the body. This picks up
local.fish/secrets.fish path displays and override examples in
07-customization.md for free, plus a bonus .logging_disabled hit.
10-personalization.md's secrets.fish block gets an explicit "# secrets.fish"
comment to title it the same way. The four local.fish examples keep their
existing descriptive comments rather than a redundant local.fish title.
Function documentation now comes from functions/*.fish comment headers;
everything else stays in docs/manual/**. Records that split in the three
places a contributor looks:
- AGENTS.md "Documentation Policy" and Coding Convention #4, which now
spells out the full label set and flags CATEGORY as required-to-publish.
- Manual section 11, which pointed readers at docs/manual/ for everything.
- README, same.
The man-page-style comment header above each function in functions/*.fish
becomes the SSOT for that function's documentation. Writing a new function
and documenting it are now the same act.
- manualtools.parse_functions() parses every header carrying a # CATEGORY;
absence of one is the opt-in, keeping bundled-plugin and prompt internals
out of the manual with no exclusion list to maintain.
- build-manual.py generates entries for both --concat and --site, with
**Dependencies:** rendered as links and a **Used by:** reverse index
computed in one pass. Cross-category links are the navigation win.
- docs/manual/05-functions/*.md reduced to frontmatter-only stubs. Every
intro measured zero words, so the category files were pure entry
containers; ordering, titles, and helpKeywords routing are untouched.
- _first_sentence() unwraps the leading hard-wrapped paragraph and skips
the whole Synopsis block, not just its label line. Site cards no longer
truncate mid-clause or show a synopsis as their description.
Verification, per the design spec:
- test_concat_roundtrips_original scoped to sections 0-4 and 6-11. It
guarded a format migration; this is a content migration.
- replaced by structural checks: one entry per categorised function, the
required sections present, every category resolving to a stub with no
stub empty, and every declared dependency resolving to a real function
or a type -q-guarded binary.
- public functions lacking # CATEGORY warn rather than fail, so a new
user-facing function going undocumented stays visible in CI.
24/24 checks pass. 94 entries generated from 94 parsed headers.
Also drops a stale claim from open-url's NOTES: config-help --html calls
xdg-open directly and has never called open-url.
docs/manual/** plus the Astro Starlight site (https://fish-config-docs.pages.dev/)
replace the Gitea wiki (docs/wiki/) and chunked offline HTML (docs/html/,
docs/html-style.html) as the published documentation surface. Retires the
now-unused docs/split-wiki.py and docs/split-manual.py generators alongside them.
- config-help --html now opens the published site root instead of resolving
a local sitemap anchor; when a keyword was given it prints a note that deep
links aren't available yet and to use the site's search box.
- open-url and docs/manual/05-functions/14-miscellaneous.md examples
repointed from docs/html/index.html to the site URL.
- docs/manual/11-viewing-this-manual.md rewritten to document the four
access paths: the website, the man page, in-terminal pager, and reading
docs/manual/** directly. fish-config.index updated to match the new
headings.
- README.md documentation section and Zoxide attribution link repointed at
the site; corrected the stale "single source file" claim about
fish-config.md.
- Regenerated docs/fish-config.md via build-manual.py --concat.
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.
