add missing author/index.html

We changed `author/README.md` to refer to FAQs instead
of trying to duplicate FAQ information.

Added `author/README.md` to `bin/md2html.cfg`.

Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "1.4.8 2024-08-05"
to "1.4.9 2024-08-11".

Performed `make gen_top_html` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.

@@ -8,204 +8,23 @@ file with the following name format:

where `author_handle` is defined below.
See the
FAQ on "[author handle](../faq.html#author_handle_faq)"
and the
FAQ on "[author_handle.json](../faq.html#author_json)"
for more information.
## author_handle
Each author of a winning IOCCC entry has an assigned `author_handle`,
an IOCCC unique string that matches this regex:
``` <!---re-->
^[0-9a-z][0-9a-z_]*$
```
The `author_handle`, by default, is derived from the name of the author.
While there is a algorithm that maps the name of the author
(which can contain any UTF-8 characters) into a default
`author_handle` string, those who submit an entry to the IOCCC
are free to choose a different `author_handle` string.
An `author` who has won a previous IOCCC is encouraged to reuse their
author_handle so that new winning entries will be associated with the same
author or authors.
### anonymous author_handle's
For an anonymous `author`, their handle is one of these forms:
```
Anonymous_year
```
or:
```
Anonymous_year.digits
```
The latter form is in case there are more than one
anonymous author in a given year.
Anonymous author_handle's match this regexp:
``` <!---re-->
Anonymous_[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][.0-9]*$
```
## author_handle.json JSON syntax
The `author_handle.json` must have the following JSON members:
``` <!---json-->
"no_comment" : "mandatory comment: because comments were removed from the original JSON spec",
"author_JSON_format_version" : "0.1 2023-05-22",
```
There must be the following JSON members:
``` <!---json-->
"full_name" : "Your Full Name",
"sort_word" : "lowercaselast",
"location_code" : "XX",
"location_name" : "Formal location name",
```
- `"full_name"` value is the author's formal full name.
- `"sort_word"` value is the author's last name, mapped into lower case ASCII, as a JSON encoded string
- `"location_code"` value is a 2 UPPER CASE ISO 3166 code selected by the author
- `"location_name"` value is the formal name corresponding to the `"location_code"`, in JSON encoded string form
A `"sort_word"` that is used to determine the position within the `authors.html` file,
an `author` and the entry they submitted are to be listed.
A `sort_word` matches this regexp:
``` <!---re-->
^[a-z][0-9a-z]*
```
And there must be the following JSON members:
``` <!---json-->
"email" : "user0@example.com",
"url" : "https://a.host0.example.com/index.html",
"alt_url" : "https://b.host0.example.com/index.html",
"deprecated_twitter_handle" : "@something",
"mastodon" : "@mastodon0@example.com",
"mastodon_url" : "https://example.org/@mastodon0",
"github" : "@github0",
"affiliation" : "an affiliation group",
```
- `"email"` value is the author's email address as a JSON encoded string, or `null` if not given
- `"url"` value is the author's home page URL as a JSON encoded string, or `null` if not given
- `"alt_url"` value is the author's alternate or second URL as a JSON encoded string, or `null` if not given
- `"deprecated_twitter_handle"` value is the author's twitter handle as a JSON encoded string, starting with "_@_", or `null` if not given
- `"mastodon"` value is the author's Mastodon handle in "_@user@server_" form as a JSON encoded string, or `null` if not given
- `"mastodon_url"` value is the URL as a JSON encoded string of the author's Mastodon page, or `null` if not given
- `"github"` value is the author's GitHub username as a JSON encoded string, starting with "_@_", or `null` if not given
- `"affiliation"` is the author's affiliation as a JSON encoded string, or `null` if not given
If an author does not have one of the previous set of values, or wishes to not disclose it / keep it anonymous,
then the JSON value can be `null`. For example:
``` <!---json-->
"email" : null,
"url" : null,
"alt_url" : null,
"deprecated_twitter_handle" : null,
"mastodon" : null,
"mastodon_url" : null,
"github" : null,
"affiliation" : null,
```
NOTE: The JSON value of `null` is NOT enclosed in double quotes.
The `"winning_entry_set"` is an array of JSON members that indicate
each of the IOCCC winning entries that the author is the author of. :-)
``` <!---json-->
{ "entry_id" : "YYYY_dirname" }
```
The `"YYYY_dirname"` is a entry ID in JSON encoded string form.
Here "YYYY" is the IOCCC year, and "dirname" is the directory name
of the winning entry under the given year directory.
NOTE: Due to mis-features in the JSON spec, the final JSON member must NOT be followed by a comma.
For example:
``` <!---json-->
"winning_entry_set" : [
{ "entry_id" : "1987_somedir" },
{ "entry_id" : "2020_entrydir" },
{ "entry_id" : "2024_dirname" }
]
```
### author_handle.json example
Here is a fictitious author_handle.json example:
``` <!---json-->
{
"no_comment" : "mandatory comment: because comments were removed from the original JSON spec",
"author_JSON_format_version" : "1.0 2023-06-10",
"author_handle" : "first0_last0",
"full_name" : "First Middle Last",
"sort_word" : "lowercaselast",
"location_code" : "AU",
"location_name" : "Australia",
"email" : "user0@example.com",
"url" : "https://a.host0.example.com/index.html",
"alt_url" : "https://b.host0.example.com/index.html",
"deprecated_twitter_handle" : "@something",
"mastodon" : "@mastodon0@example.com",
"mastodon_url" : "https://example.org/@mastodon0",
"github" : "@github0",
"affiliation" : "an affiliation group",
"winning_entry_set" : [
{ "entry_id" : "1987_somedir" },
{ "entry_id" : "2020_entrydir" },
{ "entry_id" : "2024_dirname" }
]
}
```
Here is fictitious author_handle.json example where all entries that may be
withheld are null:
``` <!---json-->
{
"no_comment" : "mandatory comment: because comments were removed from the original JSON spec",
"author_JSON_format_version" : "1.0 2023-06-10",
"author_handle" : "first0_last0",
"full_name" : "First Middle Last",
"sort_word" : "lowercaselast",
"location_code" : "AU",
"location_name" : "Australia",
"email" : null,
"url" : null,
"alt_url" : null,
"deprecated_twitter_handle" : null,
"mastodon" : null,
"mastodon_url" : null,
"github" : null,
"affiliation" : null,
"winning_entry_set" : [
{ "entry_id" : "1987_somedir" },
{ "entry_id" : "2020_entrydir" },
{ "entry_id" : "2024_dirname" }
]
}
```
