Name arguments marked in
--help-macros as boolean: true must either:- take no value and no
=sign, in which case the value is implicitly set to1 - take value exactly
0or1 - not be given, in which case a custom per-macro default is used. That value is the
defaultfrom--help-macros, or0if such default is not given
For example, the
\x full argument of internal links is correctly written as:\x[boolean-argument]{full}which renders as:
without the = sign, or equivalently:\x[boolean-argument]{full=1}which renders as:
The full=0 version is useful in the case of reference targets that unlike headers expand the title on the internal link by default, e.g. images:\x[boolean-argument]{full=1}which renders as:
The name "boolean argument" is given by analogy to the "boolean attribute" concept in HTML5.
