nx.nxd

- Major refactoring based on a minimal Mixin Layer facility to modularise optional features (such as templating, documentation verification etc.) in layers of mixins to be applied to the entire entity hierarchy. - Rewrote the html templating machinery in terms of a mixin layer: NxDocRenderer - Used the new modularisation granularity to add @glossary-specific link rendering (following ideas from http://www.alistapart.com/articles/hattrick/) - Completed glossary support and added acronym handling - Added back references and ref counting for @glossary entries (to be displayed with the glossary lists) - I added the short-cut lists for selected part types of @class entities, namely @class-method and @class-attribute. - Fixed the rendering of methods and attributes for ascending alphabetical order.

- Minor revision of template files (to unify the naming of markup labels) - Removed occurrences of old [:let] - Use href() helper method to generate fragments of per-document ("local") anchor names - Introduced more pretty_name and pretty_plurals for part attributes - Make filename generation aware of the property of being a part or partof entity! - Revised the documentation of [::nsf::current] slightly - Adding setter ([:!let]) and getter ([:!get]) to the templating language, both being aware of @use chains. - Refactored the resolution behaviour for part levels, relative to a given entity, into a helper StructuredEntity->owned_parts(). Based on this helper, the navigation structures can be rendered on common grounds (e.g., drop-down search box, menus in th eleft bar) - Adding the attributes "pretty_name" and "pretty_plural" to part attribute slots (used for rendering section names in the nav menu etc.). - Adding a helper method href() to render the href attribute values of entity anchors (links, menu items, ...) - Unified the rendering of the selection data used by the drop-down box for the various entity_types, again, using the owned_parts() helper - Refactored the generation of navigation menu in the left bar into a proper template: leftbar.html.tmpl - Reflect recent naming changes (e.g., predefined.tcl -> nsf.tcl) - Adding support for documentation inheritance; first, fixed @command support for it - Refactored the upward resolution of partof entities into a central and shared facility (Entity->get_upward_path()) - Adjusting for changes in introspection interface (info.callable() -> info.lookup()) - Adding a first aliasing (@use) mechanism. Remains to be tested properly, though it works sufficiently for the known use cases. - Adding some safety checks to Tag->find() - Refactoring context->parse@tag to use the Tag->find() helper (now shared between tag creation and link resolution) - Tag path normalisation (expanding shortcuts, balanced list check, ...) went into Tag->normalise(). - Changed the [:link ...] mechansism ({{@someTag ...}}) to operate on the new tag notation. Added support for sub-method and sub-command link rendering (looks sufficient for the moment). - Changed the existing *.nxd companions to match these notational modifications.

- renamed "parameter" into "attributes" in nx - renamed "info parameter" into "info attributes" in nx - updated migration guide - fixed several common typos

- Added support for companion documentation files (based on the file extension *.nxd) - Moved the nsf and nx documentation blocks in generic/predefined.nxd and library/nx/nx.nxd, respectively - Un-exported @param, provide two aliases @attribute and @parameter (in the respective contexts). - Changed the test suite and the two documentations to reflect the naming changes.
