[Scilab-users] uman 2.1 is released

[Rafael Guerra]

Given its usefulness, shouldn't it be part of the main Scilab distribution, not an add-on?

and thanks too.

Hello,

The 2.1 version of the "uman" (user manual) module is released and available for Scilab 5.5 and Scilab 6.
It can be installed or updated with:
--> atomsInstall uman  // then close and restart Scilab

Main features: uman allows

  *   to display in the console help pages of Scilab or of external modules or contributions, with chosen sections, in any chosen supported language without switching the session language. The online page can be as well targeted instead.
  *   to grab easily all messages from the mailing lists archives about a given feature, function, author,..
  *   to easily list bugs reported about a given function or feature

Main changes 2.1 :

  *   "uman .. u" and disp_usage() now justify the list of syntaxes. The alignment mode can be tuned with the new configuration variable umanAlignSyntaxes:
uman 2.0 & default help<https://help.scilab.org/docs/6.0.0/en_US/who.html>
uman 2.1 with umanAlignSyntaxes=""

uman 2.1

uman 2.1
with umanAlignSyntaxes="l"

CHANGES 2.0 => 2.1 (2016-10-30)

-------------------------------

NEW FEATURES

 * New configuration variable umanAlignSyntaxes = '' | 'l' | 'r' (default)



IMPROVEMENTS

 * Help pages are now available in french.

 * Console mode:

   - For a better readability, syntaxes of a function are now aligned.

     Their justifying is tunable. Examples: who, unwrap, ss2tf, strsplit...

   - When a page has no parameters section, its description section(s) is

     now automatically displayed, even without using the 'd' option



REFERENCES ADDED

 * Redirections

   - internal: stat=>stats

   - to Scilab: bicg, bicgstab, cgs, class, iscell, iscellstr, isinteger,

     isjava, numel, pcg, spdiags, square => squarewave(faux-ami)

   - to external: print_usage

 * FileExchange: GnuSciPlot, Ishikawa, STL

 * ATOMS: forge cglab=>cgal, Dynpeak, FOT, sopi, wgserialxcosio



BUG FIXED

 * 'uman close u' displayed only 'close(H)', forgetting 'close'

 * Changing csvDefault('separator',..) made 'uman' failing.

 * uman ignored any <term> of a <variablelist> having an id.

 * '& ' in a <screen> area yielded an error.

   Example: 'uman _atomsGettingStarted dc'

 * When a table's row had a single cell, '<td>' was sometimes displayed

 * 'uman bitget lru' did not display the parameters section

 * 'uman author> wb' without section and item yielded an error.

 * 'uman figure_size wb' did not select '... Fig.figure_size=sizes ...'

 * 'uman [ wb' missed '[a b c ..]' and other entries

 * 'uman ? wb' or 'uman # wb' yielded a Bugzilla error

 * 'uman 12 wb' was accepted while Scilab bugs are numbered starting from 77.

 * 'uman doc/>plot2d wb' did not target the 'Documentation pages' component

 * 'uman doc/><100 wb' yielded an error (no topic)

 * 'uman author> @' used '>' as part of the author name
