Some applications using Pango and/or Cairo draw square unknown character
glyphs next to divider glyphs instead of regular spaces. Non-breaking
spaces resolves this issue, and they are probably more correct to use
(no application should break lines at the padding spaces since they
"glue" the segment and dividers together as one unit).
This commit appears to work fine in all supported applications on Linux.
This commit resolves the gvim font rendering problems mentioned in
issue #113.
Awesome WM uses the Pango Text Attribute Markup Language
(http://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/PangoMarkupFormat.html), and
since other applications and window managers may use the same markup
language it's better to have a common renderer for this markup language.
Modules can now be any string, and an informative error message will be
written to sys.stdout if the module doesn't exist. The
`last_pipe_status` argument will also automatically be split into
a list.
This allows the hl() methods to wrap highlighting code *around* the
segment contents, this is required for e.g. Pango markup in Awesome
statuslines (segments must be wrapped in <span ...>...</span> tags).
Bash has weird initialization: bashrc is sourced in non-login
interactive shell, but not in login interactive shell; profile is
sourced in login interactive shell, but not in non-login interactive,
thus exporting in profile does make sense. In zsh case zshrc is always
sourced when shell is interactive and exporting thus makes no sense.
The vim renderer now handles searching and replacing of the percent
placeholder internally so percent signs can be used directly in themes
and segments instead of the percent placeholder.
Refs #127.
The installation docs have been split into separate guides for OS X and
Linux, with OS-specific troubleshooting as part of the installation
guide.
Terminal emulator support tables have been added to both guides.
Closes#121.
The header levels have been switched to correspond more with the Sphinx
suggested standards and the troubleshooting section has been
restructured to make it easier to find solutions. Minor markup changes
and other changes are also included in this commit.
