conf.py: improve SearchEnglish to handle terms with dots

2025-07-14T15:37:40+00:00

While search queries already handled words with hyphens correctly, they did not do so for words with dots. To fix this, we - enhance the word tokenizer to treat both dots ('.') and hyphens ('-') as valid characters within words. (For robustness, explicitly exclude dots/hyphens at the start or end of a word from indexing.) - adjust query processing to avoid splitting on dots in search input This allows search queries to correctly match terms such as 'local.conf', 'site.conf', and similar ones now.

ref-manual: classes: nativesdk: move note to appropriate section

2025-06-20T15:06:30+00:00

The nativesdk- prefix to the recipe filename should only be used when using the inherit method as the BBCLASSEXTEND method will do some magic when generating the "implicit" name of the recipe. This matches the instructions for the native class.

ref-manual: classes: reword to clarify that native/nativesdk options are exclusive

2025-06-20T15:06:30+00:00

We explain how to create a native (nativesdk) recipe in two different ways via a bullet list but reading quickly the instructions may mislead one into doing both options whereas they are incompatible. This rewords both the nativesdk and native sections so that the second bullet point starts with an Or and explicit that this applies to target recipes.

docs: conf.py: silence SyntaxWarning on js_splitter_code

2025-06-13T15:42:36+00:00

The js_splitter_code string contains backslashes that Python tries to use as escape sequence but doesn't manage to, hence the following SyntaxWarning message: documentation/conf.py:188: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\p' .split(/[^\p{Letter}\p{Number}_\p{Emoji_Presentation}-]+/gu) Considering that we want this to be sent verbatim to the JS, let's make this a raw string instead.
