[Wordgrinder-users] Importing multiple documents

[K. W. H. <kw...@kw...>]

Hi,

Is it possible to import multiple markdown documents into a document set? I was trying to import a few different markdown documents so that I could work on a larger project in a WG document set. But after the first document is imported successfully, any further attempts to import a MD document gets this error:

Exception: [string "src/lua/import.lua"]:64: attempt to get length of a nil value (upvalue 'wbuffer')          [stri
ng "src/lu[string "src/lua/utils.lua"]:99 [string "src/lua/import.lua"]:64 [string

I repeated the error several times. One MD document will import fine; attempt to import another and I get the above error.

Thanks.

Re: [Wordgrinder-users] WordGrinder Spellchecker

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

The spellchecker is very much designed for English --- sorry. It just
matches a word from the dictionary with a word in the file, so it doesn't
know about word endings and abbreviations. It will consider *l'école* to be
a single word.

But it should work. However, the current development build doesn't seem to
show misspelt words at all, so there's something wrong there. What version
are you using? https://github.com/davidgiven/wordgrinder/issues/238

For Fedora users, the latest snapshot is now available in Copr:

Note that I renamed the package for the GUI from `wordgrinder-x11` to

the development tree with regular updates to the copr until the 0.9
release is official, at which point I'll update the official Fedora

[Wordgrinder-users] SDL version of 0.9 available for testing

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

If anyone's still here and interested, I've just ripped out the X11 and
Windows GDI frontends and replaced them with a unified SDL frontend. This
is:

- much faster
- easier to maintain and build
- works on OSX (finally!)
- the window close button works

If anyone wants to give it a try, it's the latest development build:
https://github.com/davidgiven/wordgrinder/releases

I don't believe there are any other functional changes from 0.8, but I have
lost all sense of time these days.

Having this in the main program would be very useful. I ended
up separately writing a bash script to do this same thing (I'm
still on version 7), but it can be rather inconvenient.

Thank you for the kind words!

The answer to your question is: yes, you can, but only with 0.8 --- there
are a couple of scripts you can run which will either combine all
subdocuments into one, or export all subdocuments into separate files. Look
at concat.lua or exportall.lua here:

But those'll only work with 0.8. Maybe at some point I'll move these into

[Wordgrinder-users] Export wg question

[Damien S. <da...@dp...>]

Hi David, thank you for creating such a wonderful writing tool. I use it 
every day as a journal and that's how I bumped into this question.

I use the pages function as days of the week, so each day has its own 
page within the wg file. I'd like to export the document to another 
format but, from what I can tell, I can only export 1 page at a time. Is 
there a way to export the whole document? I can imagine someone who was 
drafting a novel may also appreciate such a feature.

I haven't been part of a mailing list before, so appologies if I've 
broken protocol.
I'm currently using 0.72, with Ubuntu, from the terminal. (I will be 
giving 0.8 a try!)

Kind regards
Damien

By the way, I've upstreamed some of the patches required by Debian: one of
these is support for reproducible builds, where you can
specify SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH when calling the Makefile and that date will be
baked into the binary rather than using the current one. Also, Debian's
very fierce about avoiding embedded libraries, so everything in src/c/emu
is omitted in the Debian build and instead shared libraries are loaded. The
Makefile invocation isn't obvious:

make \
PREFIX=/usr \
DESTDIR=debian/tmp \
OBJDIR=.obj \
LUA_PACKAGE=lua-5.3 \
LUABITOP_PACKAGE="--cflags={} --libs={}" \
LPEG_PACKAGE=lua5.3-lpeg \
MINIZIP_PACKAGE=minizip \
UTHASH_PACKAGE="--cflags={} --libs={}" \
LUA_INTERPRETER=/usr/bin/lua5.3 \
CFLAGS="$(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)" \
LDFLAGS="$(LDFLAGS)" \
WANT_STRIPPED_BINARIES=yes

I don't know if these are of use to you for the rpm packages?

Re: [Wordgrinder-users] WordGrinder 0.8 imminent

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

One final feature: there's now Markdown import. It uses a third-party
Markdown library to do the actual work, but it's still a little hairy
around the edges.

Re: [Wordgrinder-users] WordGrinder 0.8 imminent

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

Belatedly: thank you very much! Although you might want to resync more than
once per week --- Debian's deadline is ten days away.

I've actually added an absolute *tonne* of new features, plus even more
bugfixes, to such an extent that I'm now a bit unhappy about cutting a
release without more testing, so I might do an unofficial freeze. If anyone
wants to try it, I could really use feedback (i.e. pointing out where the
stupid mistakes are). The new feature list:

- a paragraph style for numbered bulletpoints
- more look-and-feel options
- the caret now flashes
- document templates
- word count display of selected text
- the autosave directory is configurable
- autocompletion in file dialogues
- a Windows console version
- a recent documents list

I've had to bump the file format version because of the new paragraph
style, so you'll be prompted to upgrade your documents. So, please work on
a *copy* of any precious documents until I can be sure a rollback won't be
necessary.

Also the current 0.7.2 is failing to build on Debian and I have about two

The good news is that I've gone through the bug backlog and closed over
twenty bugs. And the caret flashes now.

Re: [Wordgrinder-users] Feature requests

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

I hadn't met Termux! That's very cool. It runs beautifully on my
Chromebook, too, using the Android emulation layer. (I actually do a lot of
my WordGrinder development on the Chromebook inside a Crouton chroot.)

Termux's terminal emulator knows how to draw the line graphics used by the
menus (proof: looking at src/lua/ui.lua with less), so the most likely
cause for menu boxes not showing up is that ncurses may not be built with
wide character support. Try taking a look at the Unicode test page in the
README.wg and seeing if it works.

Centered text I'm less confident about. If the rest of ncurses works, then
that should work too. At the risk of stating the obvious... is widescreen
mode turned on in the settings?

Re: [Wordgrinder-users] Feature requests

[Bob N. <bob...@bo...>]

Aloha,

I tried building Wordgrinder 7 for Android 7 under the Termux
environment and got it to work with only a little effort.

Everything is not perfect, as there are a couple of display
issues with ncurses, none of them showstoppers. (Text doesn't
center on the screen, and bounding boxes for menus are
incomplete.) There is also a lua issue with temporary file
names.

It's fully workable now and clearly is the best writing tool
there is for Android, if you have a relatively recent Android
and don't mind installing Termux plus a few Termux packages.

I don't want to post code or a binary until I get the
remaining issues in hand, but I'm quite encouraged.

Regards to all,

[Wordgrinder-users] Feature requests

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

0.6.1 is probably coming out soonish (i.e., if I'm lucky, around Christmas).

Are there any features anyone is particularly desperate for? I can't say
I can promise to do them, but I'm always interested to hear them.

[Wordgrinder-users] New, diffable file format

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

If anyone feels like living dangerously, head of git now has support for
a new WordGrinder file format: this one is almost plain text and should
be diffable. I've kicked the tyres a bit and it hasn't crashed on me
yet. The new version will read old files (but not vice versa, of course).

If anyone feels like giving a try and letting me know if there are any
problems, I'd be most grateful (particularly on slow machines).

Of course, as always:

*Please make backups!*

Also, any problems are likely to manifest either as an instant crash
when saving, or an inability to load files. You probably want to export
to HTML or something before saving just to be on the safe side.

What's happening here is that WordGrinder is trying to open the file;
this is failing, because it doesn't exist. WordGrinder is then looking
to see if the error is "No such file or directory"; if so, it ignores
the error and proceeds.

Unfortunately your system has Portugese error messages. The string
"Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado" is not the same as "File or
directory not found", so WordGrinder thinks this is a serious error and
bails out.

That's definitely a bug, although I'm not sure whether it's my fault or
Lua's. I'll look into it. Thanks for the report.

https://github.com/davidgiven/wordgrinder/issues/20

In terms of workarounds: the easiest thing is to make an empty file
there. Then WordGrinder will open it, and so there is no error. Do this:

    touch /home/lemke/.wordgrinder.lua

...and everything should work.

Sorry for the trouble!

[Wordgrinder-users] "config file compilation error" on Xubuntu 15.10

[Alexandre de S T. L. <ale...@gm...>]

First, I installed wordgrinder on 14.04.04 without any problems.

But, installing on 15.10 (following exactly the same steps) gives me an
error:

lemke@chomsky:~/Downloads/wordgrinder-0.6$ wordgrinder
wordgrinder: config file compilation error: cannot open
/home/lemke/.wordgrinder.lua: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado

The part in Portuguese means "File or directory not found"

I tried to copy this file, .wordgrinder.lua, from my 14.04.04 machine, but
it doesn't exist, although I can run wordgrinder perfectly there.

I pasted the who thing here, just in case http://pastebin.com/6emUJJis


Thanks,
Alexandre

Nice!
When I get this new computer set up I will have to give wordgrinder another
spin.
Not sure what distro I am going to use yet though

WordGrinder 0.6 has hit Debian unstable! In two flavours, ncurses and X:

apt-get install -t unstable wordgrinder-ncurses wordgrinder-x11

It'll percolate down to Ubuntu in due course; unfortunately, that's
likely to be next year.

Many, many, many new features and bugfixes. Many.
