That is to say in the bugs file it will look something like:
STATUS: INABIAF - please DO NOT fix
but as a html file it is already bold as a heading. This means there is
no need in the index.html file to have the explicit **DO NOT** as it's
in a code block and it is not consistent in what is in bugs.html. For
instance 1984/mullender had:
STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix
but this meant the index.html file had the '**'s surrounding the DO NOT
which is not consistent with bugs.html.
When `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` encounters a fatal error, it will
leave behind `debug.input.md` and `debug.output.html`.
Added `debug.input.md` and `debug.output.html` to `.gitignore`.
The `.gitignore` file comment noew refers to `sgi.sh` not sgi.
Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION from "1.6.2 2024-04-18"
to 1.6.3 2024-06-22" to preform the above.

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.
Make it consistent with my improvement to bin/gen-years.sh: the entry
awards in the links (to each entry) are now in bold and so are the link
names. This helps them stand out a bit more.
The script set the URL for the tarball of all entries in the year to:
$YYYY/$YYYY.tar.bz2 but the link is relative so for 1984, for example,
it would link to 1984/1984/1984.tar.bz2 which obviously is a 404.
I also changed the formatting and wording of the link. It now is all
bold and it says instead (for example with 1984): 'Download all winning
entries from 1984'. Before it still referred to 'entry source' but it is
all entries and more than just the source.
This commit does not mean that the YYYY/index.html files have been
checked (though it's likely that all should be okay at this point) but
the manifest of entries and the tarball of all entries of the year
should at least be good.
It should be 'Location of winning authors' (as it is now) but by mistake
there was an extra space ('Location of winning authors'). Obviously
this is a huge commit as every html file with a menu (almost all) had to
be updated.
A few page names were changed and menu link (titles) were changed too.
By page names it means either DESCRIPTION or HEADER_2 in
bin/md2html.cfg. Although it looks better and is more consistent, there
might be one or two that can be further improved.
Naturally every html file that is markdown based was updated.
This is a very large commit not only because I forgot to run make www
after updating the menus but I also forgot to do that after the update
to some of the award titles (only quick-readme2index.sh was used).
There is a typo fix in bin/README.md.
This commit does mean that md2html.cfg has to be added to bin/README.md
but that can be done later.
The steps run to verify this works okay:
make www
git status
git diff
git add -u
make update
git status
git restore $(git check)
The last is important as it is not time for make update. 'git check' is
an alias:
git diff --name-only
A lot of the award titles that had more than one word capitalised were
changed to just one word capitalised, the first. Some were changed to
have multiple words capitalised. This happened when it was something
like '... prize' or '... award'. An exception to this is 2020/ferguson1:
'Don't tread on me award'. This is because I am not quite sure if I like
'Don't Tread On Me Award' or if it should be 'Don't Tread on Me Award'
(probably not that). For some like 'Grand Prize' or 'Bill Gates Award'
it's simple but I'm not so sure for my Snake entry of 2020. I will try
changing it and comparing it side-by-side to see which looks nicest.
This commit should make it easier to update the form of the award titles
in that they should all be consistent (or more consistent if not
completely) though it should be noted that the macOS Numbers application
(spreadsheet) is case-insensitive. A reason I did not change 'Don't
tread on me award' to 'Don't Tread On Me Award', yet, besides the above
reasons, is that it's a longer title and I am not sure how I like that
many words capitalised. Still it's a title of a slogan/whatever so it
might be better that way. This will be determined in the near future.
The tmp/year_prize.numbers had the text size increased a fair bit as
the default is too small for my pitiful vision (I changed it within
reason as it can become harder in another way if it's too big - 16"
MacBook Pro screen). One of the columns was also widened as it was too
short even for the smaller size.
For HTML files from markdown files other than README.md, the h2
title now refers to the HTML file instead of the markdown file.
Changed `bin/gen-other-html.sh` VERSION from "1.2.3 2024-04-28"
to "1.2.4 2024-05-31" to perform the above.
Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
This was done by:
sgit -e 's/alt code/alternate code/g' . ; git co tmp/OLD_manifest
as well as updating the tmp/manifest.numbers spreadsheet and exporting
to the CSV file (though that would not strictly be necessary).
The way this works means that the update manifest script does not need
to be run as it sgit(1) touched the .entry.json files (any that needed
to be updated) and so would any index.html files. An example for both
.entry.json and index.html files being modified due to manifest is
2012/kang.
Numerous Makefiles were updated, any try scripts that had 'alt code'
instead of 'alternate code' and README.md/index.html files (unrelated to
the manifest as 'alt code' was used in other places too) and obviously
the manifest.numbers spreadsheet.
However to be safe I will do a run of the manifest script in a bit even
though it should not be necessary. If no commits are made it means all
is good and if any commits are made for the manifest it means that I
did not think of something (or else I made another change after this).
Although there were a few lines that I kind of looked over quickly, not
evaluating the files in question, those seemed in good state anyway.
Often that was binary files.
In some cases for example input more information was given but not in
all as it was not always clear what it should be and it was not always
clear that it was necessary. Some typos were fixed as well.
Rebuilt .entry.json and index.html files.
A few other files were also modified with some minor fixes like
2006/toledo2/README.md for one example. In that case I believe some
binary files were referenced as %%REPO_URL%% but that is incorrect.
These files were edited before the index.html files were rebuilt so they
should be fine.
It should be noted that although I have gone through the entire manifest
and it might be that issue #1933 can be closed there is still a chance
that when I go through the web pages that I might come across a problem
that I will fix at that time. This might or might not be needed but that
will be determined later.
Now might be a good time to run make www but I will worry about that
later (it might or might not even do anything, depending on what was
missed).
This is a large update that modifies every .entry.json file and fixes
many others. The changes of every .entry.json file are as follows:
- change 'entry source' to 'entry source code' [0]
- change 'original source' to 'original source code' [0]
- change 'directory path from top directory' to 'directory path from top
level directory'
[0] This is for consistency purposes. Other options were pondered but as
the index.html files refer to 'Alternate code' this was the simplest way
to go about it and it also feels more natural. A question was whether to
have 'entry code' and 'original entry code' or to have the word 'source'
added to it but I decided upon including the word 'source'. Another
question has occurred to me is whether or not 'original source code'
should instead be 'original entry source code' but that can be decided
upon later as that occurred to me after much of the files were already
rebuilt. The consistency that this commit has made is for the README.md
sections and in particular 'Alternate code'. One might wonder if that
should be changed to 'Alternate source code' as now the manifest
includes 'source' in the 'entry code' and 'original code' but the
manifest itself is what was actually updated and having 'source' feels
more natural for submitted files. After all not all entries have
alternate code. These questions can be decided on when looking at the
index.html files that have been rebuilt.
Changed 'alt code' to 'alternate code' where this was not already done
(in the manifest). It is questionable whether this should be done in
markdown files or not (in the README.md files section it already is done
but not necessarily in other places).
Many files had incorrect descriptions that have been checked.
Renamed 2020/endoh2/spoiler/spoiler.{md,html} to index.{md,html} so one
can go to just 2020/endoh2/spoiler and see the web page. Although the
manifest of 2 020/endoh2/index.html will link to it and that's probably
how most people will notice it it seems useful especially as the web
page links to the different files in spoiler/ or at least refers to
them, giving a description (kind of like the manifest in
2020/endoh2/index.html).
Due to the above changes all the entries had their index.html files
regenerated too.
There were likely other changes and fixes as well.
What has NOT been done is a check over all items, typos or otherwise,
though some typos have been fixed. Nonetheless this commit goes a long
way to resolving issue #1933.
Updated thanks file both with a missing <div> id and added a manifest
improvements section as the manifest is quite important.
We make better use of the rel HTML attribute.
We format the inc/footer.default.html so that it is a
slightly easier to read.
Ran `make www` to perform test the above under macOS.
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.
As the index.html/README.md files say 'Alternate code' the 'alternative
source' has been changed to 'alternate code'. Similarly the text 'script
to try alternative code' was changed to 'script to try alternate code'.
A mistake was made where something referred to as being the alt code was
not the alt code (or the other way round).
Changed 'alternate alternative code' (or something like that) to 'second
alternate code'. This happened in steps and it might not, now that I
think on it, be the best wording, but this can be addressed later.
Rebuilt html files and .entry.json files.
Changed 'description of entry in JSON' to 'entry summary and manifest in
JSON'.
Changed 'how to run' (for try scripts) to 'script to try entry'.
Changed 'how to run if you have the primes utility' to 'script to try
entry if you have the primes utility'.
Changed 'how to run alternative code' to 'script to try alternative
code'.
A number of other more specific (to particular entries or maybe even a
single entry, 2019/ciura if not any others) descriptions were also
changed.
Rebuilt index.html and .entry.json files.
We have fixed cases where markdown code blocks were not properly intended.
Updated `markdown.md` to discuss how markdown code blocks should be indented
and how blank lines should follow a markdown code block.
We used this shell script to find problematic code blocks:
```sh
find . -name '*.md' ! -name markdown.md -print | xargs pcregrep -M '^``.*\n[^|`\n \t]'
```
Ran `make www` to perform the above.
We fix more markdown links in markdown files that refer to files
internally to the web site.
Added tmp tools to find and print various markdown links:
* `tmp/md-links.sh` - print all markdown links
* `tmp/md-token-links.sh` - print all markdown links that start with a **%%TOKEN%%**
* `tmp/md-local-links.sh` - print all markdown links to a local file
* `tmp/md-link-paths.sh` - print local file paths referenced in markdown links
Fixed a number of markdown formatting problems with `thanks-for-help.md`.
Fixed markdown links to files in `thanks-for-help.md`. Improved
heading levels in `thanks-for-help.md`, and made entry sections consistent.
Changed all markdown links that end in "))" to end in a better way.
Explained in `markdown.md` why we are avoiding markdown links that
end in "))".

TODO: Fix stuff we broke by mistake doing the above.
TODO: Fix more broken markdown links.
For browsers that have JavaScript disabled, topbar puts up
a link that reads "Please Enable JavaScript" instead of the
so-called "hamburger menu" icon.
Fixed a number of internal links that were broken
when by commit `e7d69bc23270e8ad73d391d15d4c996ffbd33cc3 and
perhaps a few other earlier commits.
Ran `make www` to perform the above.
The icons used to show the menu open (`png/hamburger-icon-open.png`)
and closed (`png/hamburger-icon-closed.png`) have been added.
Changed `inc/topbar.default.html` to use the png icons instead
of a svg file.
A new page `nojs-menu.html` has been added for when
JavaScript is disabled.
Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from to "1.4.4 2024-04-21"
to "1.4.5 2024-04-23".
Sorted top sections in `inc/md2html.cfg` and added
a section for `nojs-menu.md`.
Fixed `ioccc.css` so that the topbar and related pulldown
menus had the correct background colour.
Ran `make www` to perform the above.
TODO: Detect when JavaScript is disabled and display:
Please

JavaScript
As a link to the new `nojs-menu.html` page.
TODO: Fix a problem on wide screens where some of
the righthand edge pulldown menus are cutoff.
TODO: Fix the 5 HTML 5 errors introduced by the topbar code.
The topbar, by way of JavaScript, now works
on mobile devices such as cell phones and
tablets.
Internal links for entries from 1984 thru 2015
have been adjusted.
Ran `make www` to perform the above.
TODO: Fix some color issues on topbar.

to "1.2.2 2024-04-21".
Ran `make gen_other_html` to perform the above.
Fixed internal links in entry HTML files other than index.html.
Removed links to markdown files that otherwise used to
generate HTML files other than index.html.
Ran `make gen_other_html` to perform the above.
Testing another fix for **Nu HTML check this web page**
for constructed entry pages that are not `index.html`.
Changed `bin/gen-other-html.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-04-21".
to "1.2.1 2024-04-21".
Ran `make gen_other_html` to perform the above.
Testing a fix for **Nu HTML check this web page**
for constructed entry pages that are not `index.html`.
Changed `bin/gen-other-html.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-04-20"
to "1.2 2024-04-21".
Ran `make gen_other_html` to perform the above.
The "Jump to top" in the inventory section of an entry index.html file
now is below the secondary file list, with a short line above it.
Changed `bin/output-year-index.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-04-15"
to "1.4 2024-04-21".
Run `make gen_year_index` to perform the above.
Add "<!-- BEFORE: 1st line of markdown file: FILE/PATH -->"
before the markdown content. This line appears in the
generated HTML.
Add "<!-- AFTER: last line of markdown file: FILE/PATH -->"
after the markdown content. This line appears in the
generated HTML.
We test a fix relating to problems produced by `pandoc(1)`
when footnotes are added at the end of generated HTML.
This test is made for `2000/bmeyer/index.html`.
Fixed exit 4 in `bin/md2html.sh that should be exit 5.
Changed `bin/md2html.sh` VERSION from to "1.3 2024-04-14"
to "1.4 2024-04-18".
Run `bin/readme2index.sh -v 1 2000/bmeyer` to perform the above.
Please do not use "**---**" in markdown lines to separate sections.
This causes `pandoc(1)` to generate "**\<hr />**".
The "**\<hr />**" has no effect in standard HTML 5 and interacts
badly with unquoted attribute values.
If a horizontal line is really needed, use "**\<hr>**".
If a short line is needed, use: "**\<hr
style="width:10%;text-align:left;margin-left:0">**"
We added a checkmark all narbar's that has the make effect of
clicking on the **Nu HTML check this web page** link at the very
bottom. This makes it much more convenient when one needs
to quickly check the HTML of a number of web pages.
Run `make www` to perform the above.
In cases that are **outside of a markdown code block**,
a markdown line with ending in a tailing "\" can generate
problematic HTML.
We certain trailing backslashes outside of a markdown code block
with "<br>" HTML elements, or in some cases eliminated the
need for a trailing backslash.
In a few cases some unnecessary trailing backslashes inside
of a markdown code block were removed.
