| TODO
| |
| completely empty lines are ignored?
| |
| | |
| * Parsing errors can be found in the [[log file]] in the [[user data directory]].
| |
| * It may be simpler to copy and modify the [[#Example changelog]] than to start from scratch.
| |
| | |
| <!-- maybe link to vs code extension that has changelog hinting from jarg -->
| |
| | |
| == Important general format ==
| |
| | |
| * Do not use tabs
| |
| ** Indentation is done with two spaces
| |
| * Do not leave whitespace at the end of lines ("trailing spaces")
| |
| | |
| Usually, text editors can enforce this automatically, it is recommended to set this up.
| |
| | |
| == Formatting rules ==
| |
| [[#Important general format]] applies everywhere and will lead to confusing error messages if not followed. | |
| | |
| TODO One section per version.
| |
| | |
| === Version section start ===
| |
| Must be exactly <code>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</code>.
| |
| | |
| The next line must be a [[#Version]] line.
| |
| === Version ===
| |
| Must start with exactly <code>Version: </code>, note the space after the colon. The remaining part of the line will be parsed as the version the section is about.<br>
| |
| The version itself is expected in the format <code>number.number.number</code> for <code>major.minor.sub</code>, for example <code>0.6.4</code>. Each number can range from 0 to 65535. <code>0.0.0</code> is not considered a valid version.
| |
| | |
| There may not be two version sections with the same version.<br>
| |
| This line is mandatory.
| |
| | |
| Example:<br>
| |
| <code>Version: 0.12.35</code>
| |
| === Date ===
| |
| Must start with exactly <code>Date: </code>, note the space after the colon. The remaining part of the line will be parsed as the date the version was released. There are no restrictions for the format of the date itself.
| |
| | |
| There may not be two date lines within the same version section.<br>
| |
| This line is optional.
| |
| | |
| Example:<br>
| |
| <code>Date: 01. 06. 2016</code>
| |
| === Category ===
| |
| | |
| Must start with exactly two spaces. The remaining part of the line will be parsed as the category. Must end with a colon (reminder, no whitespace at end of line!). This colon is removed for the purpose of display. TODO names and sorting
| |
| | |
| === Entry ===
| |
| | |
| Must start with exactly four spaces followed by exactly <code>- </code> (note the space after the dash) for a single line entry. For a multiline entry, lines after the first line must start with exactly six spaces.
| |
| | |
| Entries in the same version and the same category may not be exact duplicates.
| |
| | |
| Example:<br>
| |
| <code> - Fixed the missing title in character logistics window.</code>
| |
| | |
