-For compatibility with this program, source filenames should conform to
- the following rules :—
-
-- They should not start with a hyphen‐minus.
- This is to prevent confusion between filenames and options on the
- commandline.
-
-- They should not contain spaces, colons, percent signs, backticks,
- question marks, hashes, or backslashes.
-
-In general, filenames should be such that they do not require
- percent‐encoding in the path component of an i·r·i.
+**☡ For compatibility with this program, source file·names must not
+ contain Ascii white·space, colons (`:`), semis (`;`), pipes (`|`),
+ bucks (`$`), percents (`%`), hashes (`#`), asterisks (`*`), brackets
+ (`[` or `]`), erotemes (`?`), or control characters, and must not
+ begin with a hyphen‐minus (`-`).**
+The former characters have the potential to conflict with make syntax,
+ and a leading hyphen‐minus is confusable for a command‐line argument.
## Parsers
⛩️📰 书社 comes with some parsers; namely :—
- **`parsers/plain.xslt`:**
- Wraps `text/plain` contents in a `<html:pre>` element.
+ Wraps `text/plain` contents in a `<html:pre class="plain">` element.

+- **`parsers/record-jar.xslt`:**
+ Converts `text/record-jar` contents into a

+ each record).
- **`parsers/tsv.xslt`:**
- Converts `text/tab-separated-values` contents into an `<html:table>`
- element.
+ Converts `text/tab-separated-values` contents into an
+ `<html:table class="tsv">` element.

on the root element of the parser to override media type support
detection.
-It is **strongly recommended** that all templates in parsers other than
- those described above be namespaced (by `@name` or `@mode`), to avoid
- conflicts between templates in multiple parsers.
+Even when `@书社:supported-media-types` is set, it is a requirement
+ that each parser transform any `<html:script>` elements with a
+ `@type` which matches their registered types into something else.
+Otherwise the parser will be stuck in an endless loop.
+The result tree of applying the transform to the `<html:script>`
+ element will be reparsed (in case any new `<html:script>` elements
+ were added in its subtree), and a `@书社:parsed-by` attribute will be
+ added to each toplevel element in the result.
+The value of this attribute will be the value of the `<书社:id>`
+ toplevel element in the parser.
+
+It is possible for parsers to support zero plaintext types.
+This is useful when targeting specific dialects of X·M·L; parsers in
+ this sense operate on the same basic principles as transforms
+ (described below).
+The major distinction between X·M·L parsers and transforms is where in
+ the process the transformation happens:
+Parsers are applied *prior* to embedding (and can be used to generate
+ embeds); transforms are applied *after*.
+
+It is **strongly recommended** that auxillary templates in parsers be
+ namespaced (by `@name` or `@mode`) whenever possible, to avoid
+ conflicts between parsers.
## Embedding
and update them accordingly; it will signal an error if the
dependencies are recursive.
+## Output Redirection
+
+By default, ⛩️📰 书社 installs files to the same location in `DESTDIR`
+ as they were placed in their `SRCDIR`.
+This behaviour can be customized by setting the `@书社:destination`
+ attribute on the root element, whose value can give a different path.
+This attribute is read after parsing, but before transformation (where
+ it is silently dropped).
+
## Transforms
Transforms are used to convert X·M·L files into their final output,
- **`transforms/metadata.xslt`:**
Provides basic `<html:head>` metadata.
- This metadata is generated from `<html:meta>` elements with one o.
+ This metadata is generated from `<html:meta>` elements with one of
the following `@itemprop` attributes :—
- **`urn:fdc:ladys.computer:20231231:Shu1She4:title`:**
- Set `@exclude-result-prefixes` on the root `xslt:transform` element
to reduce the number of declared namespaces in the final result.
-The params `$buildtime`, `$srctime`, and `$path` are available within
- transforms and are initialized to the current time, the time that the
- source file was last modified, and the path of the output file within
- $(DESTDIR).
+## Global Params
+
+The following params are made available globally in parsers and
+ transforms :—
+
+- **`BUILDTIME`:**
+ The current time.
+
+- **`SRCREV`:**
+ The tag or hash of the current commit in the working directory (if
+ `GIT` is defined and `./.git` exists).
+
+- **`SRCTIME`:**
+ The time at which the source file was last modified.
+
+- **`VERSION`:**
+ The tag or hash of the current commit in `THISDIR` (if `GIT` is
+ defined and `$(THISDIR)/.git` exists).
+
+The following params are only available in transforms :—
+
+- **`CATALOG`:**
+ The path of the catalog file (within `BUILDDIR`).
+
+- **`PATH`:**
+ The path of the output file (within `DESTDIR`).
## Output Wrapping
modes will additionally be called with a `<xslt:include>` element
corresponding to each transform.
If a transform has a `<书社:id>` top‐level element whose value is an
- i·r·i, its `<xslt:import>` element will have a corresponding
+ i·r·i, its `<xslt:include>` element will have a corresponding
`@书社:id` attribute.
This mechanism can be used to allow transforms to insert content
without matching any elements in the result; for example, the
