The primary purpose of this commit is to rectify most problems with `gsub` (and also `sub` with the `g` option), in particular fix #1425 ('\b'), fix #2354 (lookahead), and fix #2532 (regex == `"^(?!cd ).*$|^cd "`). This commit also partly resolves #2148 and resolves #1206 in that `gsub` no longer loops infinitely; however, because the new `gsub` depends critically on `match/2`, the behavior when regex == `""` is sometimes non-standard. The documentation has been updated to reflect the fact that `sub` and `gsub` are intended to be regular in the second argument. Also, `_nwise/1` has been tweaked to take advantage of TCO.
Documentation
The jq website, manpages and some of the tests are generated from this
directory. The manual is a YAML file in content/manual.
To build the documentation (including building the jq manpage), you'll need python3 and pipenv. You can install pipenv like so:
pip install pipenv
Though, you may need to say pip3 instead, depending on your system. Once
you have pipenv installed, you can install the dependencies by running
pipenv install from the docs directory.
Once this is done, rerun ./configure in the jq root directory and then
the Makefile will be able to generate the jq manpage.
To build the website, run pipenv run ./build_website.py from inside
the docs directory.
