By default, Sphinx tries to pre-process text through SmartyPants,
which attempts to convert ASCII quotes and dashes to Unicode
characters. Unfortunately, this mangles technical text such as command
lines. For instance, this excerpt from notmuch-tag.rst:
**notmuch** **tag** **--batch** [--input=<*filename*>]
got turned into:
notmuch tag –batch [–input=<filename>]
That's an en-dash and an em-dash respectively.
Not only are these characters visually confusing and could easily be
mistaken for a single dash, copying and pasting such command lines
into a terminal is doomed to result in incomprehensible error
messages.
* doc/conf.py: Disable SmartyPants.
A leading / in paths in a .gitignore file matches the beginning of the
path, meaning that for patterns without slashes, git will match files
only in the current directory as opposed to in any subdirectory.
Prefix relevant paths with / in .gitignore files, to prevent
accidentally ignoring files in subdirectories and possibly slightly
improve the performance of "git status".
gmime 3.0 no longer offers a means to set the path for gpg.
Users can set $PATH anyway if they want to pick a
differently-installed gpg (e.g. /usr/local/bin/gpg), so this isn't
much of a reduction in functionality.
The one main difference is for people who have tried to use "gpg2" to
make use of gpg 2.1, but that isn't usefully co-installable anyway.
the idea is that you can run
% notmuch search subject:/<your-favourite-regexp>/
% notmuch search from:/<your-favourite-regexp>/
or
% notmuch search subject:"your usual phrase search"
% notmuch search from:"usual phrase search"
This feature is only available with recent Xapian, specifically
support for field processors is needed.
It should work with bindings, since it extends the query parser.
This is easy to extend for other value slots, but currently the only
value slots are date, message_id, from, subject, and last_mod. Date is
already searchable; message_id is left for a followup commit.
This was originally written by Austin Clements, and ported to Xapian
field processors (from Austin's custom query parser) by yours truly.
In most part, our .rst documents are indented with 8 spaces instead
of tabs. Bring the rest of the lines to the same format.
Also, on one (supposedly empty) line, trailing spaces were removed.
If the --hello parameter is given, display the notmuch hello buffer
instead of the message composition buffer if no message composition
parameters are given.

Install man pages based on $(MAN_GZIP_FILES), which directly
corresponds to the man page source rst files. This way we can filter
the man pages to be installed as needed.
Use $(wildcard ...) to generate the list of man pages based on the rst
source files present in the man page directories, instead of reading
conf.py. This has three main benefits:
1) This makes the man page build slightly less complicated and easier
to understand. At least there are fewer moving parts.
2) This makes the build fail if we add a man page rst file, but fail
to add it to conf.py.
3) We can use Sphinx constructs in conf.py that are not available when
importing the file into a normal python program such as
mkdocdeps.py.
If Sphinx fails to create any of the roff files, having touch create
them hides the errors until someone realizes, possibly much later,
that the resulting files are empty. (Note that gzip doesn't fail on
empty input files.) Sphinx will change the timestamps of any files it
has written anyway.
Fix make sphinx-texinfo warnings:
WARNING: undefined label: notmuch-jump (if the link has no caption the
label must precede a section header)
WARNING: undefined label: notmuch-saved-searches (if the link has no
caption the label must precede a section header)
No need to repeat mostly the same information twice in conf.py. We
probably want to have a corresponding texinfo document for all the man
pages. Python list comprehension to the rescue. (The reverse is not
true; we have a texinfo document for notmuch-emacs we don't want as a
man page.)
There should be no user visible changes.
Add support for composing an email in the Notmuch Emacs UI using a
mailto: URL. The mailto: URL mode is mutually exclusive with
specifying other message modifying parameters and positional
arguments.
We want to be able to query the properties directly, like:
notmuch count property:foo=bar
which should return a count of messages where the property with key
"foo" has value equal to "bar".
sphinx-build emits a minor warning:
[...]doc/man7/notmuch-search-terms.rst:223: WARNING: Block quote ends without a blank line; unexpected unindent.
And the tabular representation of boolean or probabilistic prefixes
currently renders like this when i view it in man:
┌───────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┐
│Boolean │ Probabilistic │
└───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
│ tag: id: │ from: to: │
│ │ │
│ thread: folder: │ subject: attach‐ │
│ path: │ ment: mimetype: │
└───────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────┘
This isn't just ugly: it's confusing, because it seems to imply that
some of the prefixes in the left-hand column are somehow related to
specific other prefixes in the right-hand column.
The Definition List representation introduced by this patch should be
simpler for readers to understand, and doesn't have the warning.
Many of the external links found in the notmuch source can be resolved
using https instead of http. This changeset addresses as many as i
could find, without touching the e-mail corpus or expected outputs
found in tests.
Most of the infrastructure here is general, only the validation/dispatch
is hardcoded to a particular prefix.
A notable change in behaviour is that notmuch-config now opens the
database e.g. on every call to list, which fails with an error message
if the database doesn't exit yet.
Current documentation and comments in the code do not correspond to
the actual code and tests in the test suite ("Un-munging Reply-To" in
T230-reply-to-sender.sh). Fix it.
<since> and <until> for the lastmod: prefix right below the date:
prefix description give the impression one could use last modified
dates to lastmod: which is not at all the case. Use
<initial-revision>..<final-revision> instead.
Before this change with --auto-daemon but without --create-frame
emacs server was started but no clients stay connected to it
(in both graphical and terminal displays).
Note that this changes how --client --auto-daemon works on
graphical display; New emacs frame is now created for the
message (and message-exit-actions hook appended).
