Instead of code blocks the bug / (mis)features statuses are quoted
rather than in a code block. In the case that there is more than one a
line break was added at the end of all but the last one.
A bug status was renamed to be slightly more correct (maybe more than
one was renamed for the same purpose but at least one was).
The bug statuses in the quotes are now bold to let them stand out
better.
While not strictly necessary, replacing the two ASCII tab characters
in the markdown copyright comment makes it easier to detect problematic
TAB indentation within markdown files.
After this commit, only 90 markdown files have leading ASCII TAB
characters. And again, while not strictly necessary, we can consider
running expand on those 90 markdown files to see what effect that
might have on the HTML files they produce.
Replace leading ASCII TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE
characters (the default action of the `expand(1)` tool) might have
an negative effect on some HTML formatting where **hack-a-round**
formatting was attempted to fix broken indentation caused by
problematic ASCII TAB characters.
Think of this as a baseline for evaluating leading
TAB characters within markdown files.
TODO: Consider either using `expand(1)` to replace leading ASCII
TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters AND/OR
modifying the appropriate `bin` tool to convert leading ASCII TAB
characters into multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters.
In other words rather than have the link name in the form of:
1984 decot bugs
it is now:
1984/decot in bugs.html
so that it matches how the entry itself looks (as in how it's
identified) and to say where (what file) it is (in). The reason it says
'in bugs.html' rather than 'bugs' (saying that the entry has bugs) is
because not all are bugs and it's saying where to see it anyway. But
some are features, others are missing links or files or other things
like that and to keep the same form it now says 'in bugs.html'.
This was done with my sgit(1) tool like:
sgit -e 's,\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\) \([-a-z\.0-9]*\) bugs,\1/\2 in bugs.html,g' '*/*md'
The link to bugs.html itself has the path '../../bugs.html'. This is
important as it's meant to be rendered in the browser. At first this was
not remembered and I did something like:
sgit -e 's,\[\([0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]\) \([-a-z\.0-9]*\) bugs\](../../bugs.html,\[\1/\2 in bugs.html\](%%REPO_URL%%/bugs.html,g' '*/*md'
but this was changed to the simpler one due to the problem described
above. It's worth putting this note here as a reminder, though, so I
have included it here.
We added a space between the markdown triple code mark
and language that was enclosed in HTML comments.
So a line of the form:
````
```<!---c--->
````
became:
````
``` <!---c--->
````
This was done to **help** some code see that the HTML comment
string was not a markdown code specifier. Not all code
understands this after this changed. For example, `pandoc(1)`
still forms HTML classes of the form "<!---c-->"
when it encounters the above mentioned change.
We also fixed a problem with `2019/dogon/README.md` regarding
a markdown code block.
We also fixed a problem with `2020/yang/README.md` regarding
a markdown code block.
When language is specified in a markdown code block such as:
````
```c
printf("Hello, world!\n");
```
````
is used, the resulting HTML as produced by `pandoc(1)` combined
with our revised `ioccc.css` is not intent the code block well.
A temporary "_hack-a-round_" is to turn the "markdown code language
specifier" into an HTML comment. For example:
````
```<!---c-->
printf("Hello, world!\n");
```
````
This commits turns off existing markdown code language specifiers
for now, while preserving our ability to restore them in the future
when a better "_hack-a-round_" to the "markdown code language
specifier" problem is found.
The HTML impact if this "_hack-a-round_" is to produce HTML that
looks like this:
```
<pre class="<!---c-->"><code> .. </code></pre>
```
We might be able to create a complex set of classes for each markdown
code language (there won't be very many) in `ioccc.css`, or we might
find a more general CSS (or maybe `pandoc(1)`?) solution.
For now, this hack-a-round will have to do.
All code blocks in markdown have been intended by at least 4 spaces.
We add `--tab-stop=8` to all `pandoc(1)` executions in order to set
a better tab stop indentation, especially for tab intended code blocks.
Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION from "1.5.3 2024-03-26"
to "1.6 2024-03-31".
Fixed `1991/brnstnd/sorta.README.md` so that the sorta code
is code blocks.
Removed unneeded paragraph group in copyright in `inc/footer.default.html`.
Fixed excess whitespace after list Author on entry `index.html` page.
Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.5.2 2024-03-26"
to "1.6 2024-03-31".
Performed `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
TODO: Fix the problem of the initial line of code being extra intended.
TODO: Fix excess whitespace around code that is inline.
The inc/footer.default.html now has a common Copyright and CC BY-SA
4.0 License section for all generated HTML files.
All markdown files have a similar Copyright and CC
at the bottom in the form of an HTML comment.
Entry source is now prog.c for IOCCC years 2014 thru 2020,
or is now dirname.c IOCCC years 1984 thru 2013.
To achieve this state, we renamed the following:
renamed: 2004/hibachi/src/hibachi.c -> 2004/hibachi/hibachi.c
renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.alt.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.alt.c
renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.alt2.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.alt2.c
renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.c
renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.orig.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.orig.c
Modified `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` to add to entry `index.html` file,
links to the `Makefile` and the _C code_ to the top navigation bar.
Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.2.2 2024-02-25"
to "1.3 2024-03-02".
Moved printing the Inventory link in the top navigation bar
from `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` to `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`.
Changed `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-02-23"
to "1.1 2024-03-02".
Moved printing the Inventory link in the top navigation bar
from `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` to `bin/subst.year-index.sh`.
Changed `bin/subst.year-index.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2024-02-11"
to "1.1 2024-03-02".
Changed `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.0 2024-02-11"
to "1.1 2024-03-02".
Added location names (both default and common) to `author.html`.
Changed `tmp/gen_author_json.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2023-06-06"
to "1.1 2024-03-04".
Added location names (both default and common) to `author.html`.
Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-03-09"
to "1.3 2024-03-04".
The manifest and the resulting `.entry.json` files have been changed
for `2004/hibachi` and `2012/omoikane`.
The Makefiles for `2004/hibachi` and `2012/omoikane` copy the
source file into the "previously used location". The `make clobber`
rule removes the copied source. The `.gitignore` files have been
updated accordingly.
Improved how the concept of IOCCC terms _entry_, _author_ and _submission_ are
used in markdown files.
Links to markdown files (files ending in .md) within the repo were
changed to link to HTML files (files ending in .html). Special cases
where `README.md` became `index.html` were modified accordingly.
Fixed URL for `bugs.html` in Makefile comments.
Fixed name of `bin/sgi.sh` referenced in comments in `.gitignore` files.
Links to locations within the repo are now relative. For example a
link to `/contact.html` may become `../contact.html' or '../../contact.html`
depending on the directory level of the markdown file.
Nearly all links with absolute URLs under _https://www.ioccc.org_
or `https://ioccc-src.github.io/temp-test-ioccc_ have been changed to
relative paths within the repo. Some exceptions to this (such as
referring to a GitHub repo) were preserved.
Fixed a number of inside `faq.md` and `bugs.md`.
Added HTML name tags (in the form of an _entry_id_) for each entry
referenced in `bugs.md`. Fixed links from outside of `bugs.html`
into `bugs.html` accordingly.
Where FAQ entries are referenced, a named tag is used so that if a
FAQ is ever renumbered, links outside of `faq.html` will still work.
Changed the _inventory_order_ of a compressed tarball from _300_
to _100000_. While this may have been done for the manifest,
this changed had not yet been propagated into the `.entry.json` files.
Links to web sites that were in the for <URL> are now [URL](URL).
Performed `name www` to process all of the above.
Improved format of `authors.html`. Full names are now bold.
Location codes are now links back into `location.html` and
location names (both default and common) are now italics.
Added _author_handle_ each author.
Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-02-25"
to "1.2 2024-03-09".
Improved format of `location.html` as location codes are now bold,
author counts in a given location are now bold, and location names
(both default and common) are now italics.
Changed `bin/gen-location.sh` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-02-23"
to "1.1 2024-03-04".
Added italic location name after location code in entry
`index.html` files.
Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.4.1 2024-02-23"
to "1.5 2024-03-04".
Added _Location of authors_ to the sidebar as a link to `location.html`.
TODO: While nearly all of the above mentioned changes are likely correct,
they likely introduced a few errors that need correcting.
As requested on GitHub: a tool that will be written, readme2index, will,
as explained:
'... will take the converted HTML from the README.md markdown and
inject it into an HTML template. Things such title, award one and
author information will be injected into the HTML page ahead of the
HTML that was converted from the README.md markdown. Without going
into details of HOW at this time, the result will be a coherent HTML
index.html page with the winner title / award, winning author
information, and important file links come from other sources and
NOT from the README.md file.
The text from the 1st award line, thru the authorship information,
and up to but not including the "## To build:" line in the README.md
file will just get in the way. Moreover authors might be tempted to
try and maintain that top of README.md text instead of working with
the author/_author_handle_.json and winner .winner.json files.
This was done with my[0] sgit(1) (https://github.com/xexyl/sgit) tool like:
sgit -o -n -e '/^## To build:/,$p' '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]/*/README.md'
[0] Is that shameless self-promotion? I don't know but I don't care: it
is generally a very useful tool and has been used in other repos too.
Besides, I've done it many times before and it's a great example that I
will be adding to the README.md file of the tool, one I hadn't thought
of doing.
The entries referenced in `bugs.md` now have, below the
"To build:" section, a "Bugs and (Mis)features section text"
that matches the `bugs.md` status.
Several entries had their "STATUS" changed from:
"STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix" to:
"STATUS: known bug - please help us fix":
This was done because, while some of the bugs were minor,
inviting someone to try and fix the issue does nil harm.
In a few cases a more difficult bug was also changed to
the "please help us fix".
While we do NOT want to waste time fixing such entries NOW,
letting others become involved and to try to fix the entry
is a good thing as to encourages people to study the entry
and try to fix the entry. We don't need to accept a fix
that is offered, and of the fix transforms the source in
a less than desirable way, such a fix (if accepted) could
be become a alt source code.
It appears it might not possible to fix the second and third version
that is generated by itself to compile with clang. It _might_ be but it
takes heavy modification. What's more, when I almost had it, it then
caused compilation errors in a different compiler (gcc). I now have a
good idea how to make the code create different functions (see thanks
file for more details on what had to be done to fix as much as possible)
and names and everything else which I might use in the future but for
now it is as good as it can get.
There is a known problem with version 2, namely that SOMETIMES it
segfaults after printing the output. It is hard to know if this should
be fixed but given the complications of this entry (it is truly a
masterpiece as was typical of Brian Westley) fixing it could also break
something else so I have changed it to INABIAF status.
The code that was the alt code now works entirely with gcc! The ver2 and
ver3 do not yet work with clang but the other versions do so it seems
appropriate to make this the main version and remove the alt code and
alt scripts.
I will continue to work on this in between the README.md files but this
feels like great progress and as it was all I felt up to at this time it
is definitely worth the effort and time.
The alt code has been changed so that in addition to the main feature
working it will also generate ver0 and ver1 correctly; ver2 and ver3
cannot be compiled still. This is not perfect but it is progress. I will
look at this further later most likely.
Added compile.alt.sh to compile the alt code and generate the alt code
generated code. It generates it in the file name form alt.ver[0-3].c and
the code will be compiled as such.
Added try.sh to demonstrate the main (original) program. This is because
there are a lot of commands to try.
Added try.alt.sh to demonstrate the alt program (not trying the ver2 and
ver3, naturally). The rationale is the same as for try.sh.
The Makefile has been updated for these changes.
Updated .gitignore as a number of new files will be created when running
compile.alt.sh.
The bugs.md has been updated as there has been some progress made. The
hint was removed at this time as it's not applicable now; the problem of
main() args not being allowed is no longer true. However the status line
has not been updated because the root of the problem is this. There are
currently no hints because I do not have any yet.
The thanks file has also been updated for the new scripts as well as the
situation being changed.
Unfortunately the fix to let the main program compile with clang even
breaks some versions generated (see compile.sh) in syntax error so even
gcc cannot compile those. Therefore it's now alt code. The alt version
will compile with clang and the main feature of the program will work
but the program cannot generate every version of the program.
The bugs.md and thanks-for-fixes.md have been updated along with the
README.md.
In the README.md there is a different heading level for the alt code
sections to compare to another as we try and figure out what heading
levels to use.
I changed the delay to 0 in the compile.sh script but one can set it to
another value if they like.
This entry will have to be worked on more at another time.
The use of the markdown trailing whitespace to indicate
line break should NOT be done when the following line is empty.
This removes such improper use of whitespace in README.md files.
I have tried to make the README.md file less cluttered wrt the clang
defects and instead just show how to use the entry, referring to the
bugs.md for those who need to know.
Added script compile.sh which generates the files and tries to compile
them. The script sleeps (by default approximately 1 second) in between
commands but this can be changed to another value (including 0). One can
also change the compiler path in case their compiler is clang or in the
case of macOS gcc IS clang. The README.md refers to this and gives
examples.
The bugs.md and the thanks-for-fixes.md files have been updated for
these changes and additions.
For those who do not know of the clang defects it is discussed in the
bugs.md and unfortunately for this entry there might be little that can
be done. I haven't tried to understand the entry deeply and maybe doing
so would give some ideas for fixes (beyond what I already did which lets
the main program compile with clang - or at least versions that allow a
fourth arg to main()) but this seems less important for now.
Try and improve the note during compilation that some versions will not
work with some compilers.
Make the other versions alt code. Running make alt will stop on the
first error but I made it alt targets so that make clobber will remove
the compiled files. In order to make it actual targets the Makefile
would have to do more to generate the files and this might or might not
be better.
Format fixes and a typo fix in README.md.
This to make the country code consistent with mkiocccentry (and I guess
international standard country codes).
This affects many README.md files and (for one line) winners.csv.
The main link was dead but looking at the Internet Wayback Machine I
found that he changed domains and it's still valid. One entry had a
different URL but with a quick check I could not determine that it had
anything to do with him so I changed it to his own domain (which I
verified is his).
The 2001/westley/.gitignore was also updated as it has other source
files that are generated by the commands in the try section.
In some files changed the formatting was fixed to be a proper markdown
file.
There were some typos including that some README.md files that linked to
/winners.html#Cody_Boone_Ferguson actually linked to the non-existent
file /years which obviously would not work.
I also added links to the rest of the places I have fixed entries (but
see below) and I did the same for Yusuke Endoh's fixes.
As well apparently one entry I thought he fixed to compile under modern
systems does not seem to so that entry will have to be revisited another
time. That entry was 1993/jonth.
Those are the main changes here if not all of them.
Some important notes here should be made. First of all with clang the
recommended commands in the README.md (which was also formatted and typo
fixed) will seemingly generate the correct files but still only
westley.c and ver0.c will compile with clang. With gcc they do compile
and seem to work as expected.
However I found a bug in the original code too where ver2 will sometimes
segfault. This also goes for the fix (again when compiled with gcc).
I did get ver[123].c to also compile but this seemed to cause invalid
output in some of the commands. That being said it might (though I don't
think so at this time) have been not knowing exactly what should be
displayed. Maybe I will look at it in the future but at least it now
works with clang even if not all of the generated files will compile
that way. Still macOS users can now take a look at the different output
of the program which seems good to me (it does not even have to be
source code that is output).
These things have been noted in the README.md as well.
There is one exception:
$ find . -name '*.hint' -execdir git mv '{}' README.md \;
git statufatal: destination exists, source=1992/albert/albert.hint, destination=1992/albert/README.md
Looking at the two files they differ quite a bit so I've not changed it.
I'll bring this up on GitHub.
