Ran `make update` to perform the above.
new file: 2024/burton/.entry.json
Prepare for the winners of **IOCCC28**.
> However these are not the 2024 droids you are looking for. :-)
The HTML menu (both JavaScript and non-JavaScript) has been updated.
The `Status -> Rules and guidelines' have been replaced with two
separate menus `Status -> IOCCC rules` and `Status -> IOCCC guidelines`.
Added a new top level `social.html` page: built from a new `social.md`.
Sorted rules for building specific web pages in the top level `Makefile`.
Added `make social` to make the `social.html` page from `social.md`.
The `bin/gen-top-html.sh` now is able to process a argument of **social**
to process the new top level `social.html` page.
Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13"
to "2.0.1 2025-07-25".
Below `About -> Home page` a new `About -> IOCCC social media` menu item
as added.
Because the menu change touched every HTML file, we changed the general
copyright date range for HTML files from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025"
due to the extensive changes made for **IOCCC28**.
Those markdown files that were modified in 2025 had their copyright date
range also changed from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025".
Rebuilt tarballs and sitemap due to the extensive HTML rebuilding.
Ran `make update` to perform the above.
The menu in all html pages for the FAQ was fixed to link to the step 0
(of how to enter the contest) and also it was renamed ('Enter the
IOCCC').
I also went through the most important sections of the FAQ (how to
enter and the mkiocccentry related questions) and checked the
register.html, pw-change.html and submit.html pages. It is possible I
have missed something but I think it's in pretty good shape nonetheless.
We move the "_Thanks for the help_" out from under the "Entries"
menu and under the "About" menu to better balance the menus.
Besides, "_Thanks for the help_" is more **about** the IOCCC itself.
The sections have been modified a fair amount. The Entries menu has been
extended to have: Fixing entries, Updating author info, Thanks for the
help. The first two were moved from FAQ and the last one from About.
The rationale for these, in order: entries and authors have to do with
entries and most of the help involves entries. It also has to do with
website but in 'about' it does not seem the right place, unless maybe it
is renamed to 'Credits' or something (I am not suggesting this one way
or the other). This one is debatable but that was the rationale.
The Status menu has been extended to have: Markdown guidelines and
Security policy. The rationale is that the markdown guidelines are part
of contest guidelines and the security policy is about the status of the
entries and how if there are any security problems they will not be
addressed (instead of about the IOCCC).
The FAQ was extended to have: Compiling entries, Running entries, How to
help. The reason to not have compiling and running entries under Entries
is because this is 'how to' and also the menu was too long. How to help
seems like a good idea under FAQ too (was in About).
About was extended to have the new 'about.html' page (from about.md).
This is a rare case where a new file is useful as it fits under 'About'.
The menu now is: Home page, About the IOCCC, The Judges, Contact us. I
was pondering the 'About [the IOCCC]' at the top and also naming it
'About us' but it seemed like a link to index.html was necessary and as
for 'about us' it seemed less clear as to whether it was about the
judges or the contest itself. The FAQ has been updated slightly for
this.
After further inspection the bin/index.html and the inc/index.html links
were removed from the about section.
With these changes, renaming an item or slight reordering
notwithstanding, I believe that #2006 is probably in good shape.
The mobile About menu was missing the IOCCC markdown guidelines. This
has been added to the mobile menu but moved to 'Status' which is where
guidelines are (it has been renamed to be 'IOCCC Markdown Guidelines' to
match the style of the other items in that menu).
The About menu now has two more links, one for the website tools and the
other for the include files of the tools. It might be, looking at the
generated html files, better to have another menu instead, but what that
should be is unclear. The reason it might be better is because the
'About' menu is rather long. In retrospect it might be better to not
have the script include files in the html files but this can be decided
and dealt with later.
The script bin/find-missing-links.sh now ignores the directory NOTES/. A
better approach might be using git ls-files --exclude but a quick test
did not work right. Another option, at least for NOTES/, might be to use
'git ls-files --exclude-standard'.
The bin/index.html file has been updated.
Run make www to rebuild all html files.
A number of question answers have been merged and shortened somewhat.
Fix link in the menu of all html pages and the inc/ files that was
broken due to renaming an anchor.
The guidelines and rules have had a link fix (to the FAQ) as well as
some additional points added about the mkiocccentry toolkit.
More work in the FAQ needs to be done, including with the how to enter
the IOCCC, but as so much work has been done already I have decided to
make the commit to get these many important changes out of the way.
We now use `jstrdecode -N` without the need for
using `-T` with `bin/jval-wrapper.sh`.
Now depending on `jstrdecode(1)` with a minimum version
of "1.2.3" (was "1.2.0").
Added information about bin tools missing from `bin/README.md`.
Changed `bin/entry2csv.sh` VERSION from "1.5 2024-10-08"
to "1.5.1 2024-10-10".
Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.14 2024-10-08"
to "1.14.1 2024-10-10".
Changed `bin/gen-location.sh` VERSION from "1.8 2024-10-08"
to "1.8.1 2024-10-10".
Changed `bin/gen-years.sh` VERSION from "1.6 2024-10-08"
to "1.6.1 2024-10-10".
Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.10 2024-10-08"
to "1.10.1 2024-10-10".
Changed `bin/output-year-index.sh` VERSION from "1.6 2024-10-08"
to "1.6.1 2024-10-10".
Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.8 2024-10-08"
to "1.8.1 2024-10-10".
Perform `make all_jfmt` to format canoncailly, all `entry.json`
and all `author/author_handle.json` files. A side effect of this
is to replace all of the fancy non-ASCII characters within
JSON strings with their "bashslash-u hex hex hex hex" equivalent.
Thanks to the newly fixed `jstrdecode(1)` tool, there was
no change in the HTML output.
Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
There is also a fix that fixes a format problem with
the `author_set`.
Used `bn/jfmt-wrapper.sh` to reformat JSON with:
```sh
find * -name '*.json' -print0 | xargs0 -n1 -t bin/jfmt-wrapper.sh
```
Some bug statuses have been changed so the bugs file was also updated
(some removed, some added).
The manifest of 2004/hibachi was fixed some.
The alt_url of 2004/gavare was fixed which required a rebuild of
authors.html.
For 2004/gavin a proper link to QEMU was added. It strikes me as it
possibly being a good idea to have an FAQ about QEMU (as it is not just
2004/gavin that might benefit from it) but I don't know and in any case
I have zero experience with it.
The entries 2004/gavare, 2004/gavin and 2004/hibachi have been checked
for format / display issues. This would suggest that the next entry to
look at is 2004/hoyle.
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.
The previous url was the GitHub url but he has his own domain. The
alt_url is his article about the winning entry of his (of course if he
wanted something different he could do that but it's a good enough guess
for now).
Given how problematic leading tabs in markdown files can be,
we have expanded all leading tabs in markdown files by:
```sh
find * -type f -name '*.md' -print |
while read -r file; do
rm -f "$file.tmp" ;
expand < "$file" > "$file.tmp" ;
mv -f -v "$file.tmp" "$file" ;
done
```
Given the previous changes to `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` and other recent
commits and recent pull requests, the were were **NO** changes to
any HTML files. This is a **good thing** as the expression goes.
No there are no leading tabs in any markdown files.
A check to catch any re-introduction of leading tabs
into any markdown file is on the way.
BTW: We do not have anything against leading tabs in files,
even though we have had to deal with their impact on forming
HTML from markdown files (as well as the calc source code).
It is just that this is one of those cases where tabs conflict
(sometimes caused by people wanting to change the classic
8-space tab model) with a desired outcome.
Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
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.
All the authors now have either a null URL, a valid URL or one on the
Internet Wayback Machine.
Where it seemed likely (say because the domain no longer exists) emails
were set to null also.
Now unless a bug is found in the script this really should finish the
checks of authors.html.
40 of authors which previously had an 'unknown location' were found in
the archive. Only five are left that are unknown.
Rebuilt location.html and authors.html.
Although I did not check every link in these pages I have checked many
and since both files are generated by a script it is probably safe
(enough) to say that these files can be marked as verified to look okay
and have valid links. This means that unless I have missed something,
the top level html files have all been checked except for bugs.html and
faq.html but these have to be done after the entries as they are likely
to be updated as the entries are being looked at.
The (same two) authors of 1995/heathbar and 1995/makarios had invalid
information, in one case email as well as in both the url and location.
The location was previously set to unknown (ZZ) but I knew from the
archive (which used to be what the README.md files which were the hint
files had until I was asked to remove that information which was done
November 2023) that it was US.
I also noticed, however, that the url was invalid and in one case the
email was invalid (it referred to the same domain).
With these problems in mind the url was changed to refer to the website
on the Internet Wayback Machine (in both), the email was set to null in
the one that had an email (now it's null in both) and the location_code
was set to US (in both).
I then did:
touch 1995/heathbar/README.md 1995/makarios/README.md
so that I could do:
make quick_www
as only two index.html files had to be updated. This also updated
authors.html and location.html, of course.
The FAQ was updated with more information on how to update author
information with the above two as an example and it now also says how to
validate json for those who want to make changes to author information
(or if anything else in the future is put in json).
The json file had the email as a url by accident. The authors.html file
is not checked yet but will be soon, very possibly tomorrow, along with
the last (for the moment) top level html file (I think).
Reverting pull request #2326. For some reason, closing a
pull request does not prevent it from being used.
Pull request #2327 was based on top of pull request #2326,
so even though pull request #2326 was closed, accepting
pull request #2327 causes pull request #2326 to be
accepted, even when the files used by pull request #2327
are completely independent from pull request #2326! *sigh*
In the case of 1984, 2001 and 2005 the anonymous authors had location
codes but the country code for anonymous locations is XX. This has been
done and the authors.html, location.html and the respective index.html
files have been rebuilt.
One file was not touched because I was not sure how to best approach it
as an email was provided and possibly other things too (in particular a
second author of 2015/endoh1).
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 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.
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.
This is a HUGE commit and this task is not done. There are still some
changes that might need to be discussed and since so much is done here I
think it's better to let this go through and then make sure everything
is okay. When the remaining references are discussed they can also be
changed.
I did NOT include changes in the tmp/OLD_manifest directory.
Some of the changes in this commit (it might be exhaustive but it might
not be - not sure):
- In the Makefiles the WINNERS was renamed AUTHORS.
- References to winners.html were changed to authors.html.
- The FAQ named anchor 'fix_a_winner' was renamed 'fix_an_entry'.
- The JSON fields (or whatever they're called) 'winner_id' and
'winner_JSON_format_version' were changed so that 'winner' is 'entry'.
- In scripts for entries 'IOCCC winner' was changed to 'IOCCC entry'.
- 'winners_text' is now 'entries_text'. It might be better to be
'entry_text' as it's per entry but this was not noticed at first. Since
this is easy to fix I am holding off on this for the meantime.
- The script tmp/update-manifest.sh now has the commit log messages
changed to the correct terms as well.
The index.html files were updated as well with any of the above
changes.
There are some references that should NOT be updated. Two examples
caught (and maybe more have slipped through that will have to be changed
back): in 1984/anonymous/README.md the author wrote back to Landon after
being told about the famous tattoo and they used the words:
.. my entry will be the first IOCCC winner ..
but since this comes from the author it should remain so.
The other one is that winners.html should still refer to winners.html as
it informs people that it's been moved to authors.html (it does redirect
too but even so if it was changed it would defeat the purpose of the
message).
With paths like authors.html I tried to copy paste so that hopefully
there are no typos. It is possible that I did not end up doing this with
all but these can be fixed when discovered.
Renamed `.winner.json` to `.entry.json` as per recent decisions made for issue #2156.
JSON element _winner_JSON_format_version_ renamed to _entry_JSON_format_version_
in `.winner.json`.

JSON element _winner_id_ renamed to _entry_id_ in `author/author_handle.json` files.
Changed _author_JSON_format_version_ from "1.0 2023-06-10" to "1.1 2024-02-11".

Renamed `bin/gen-inventory.sh` to `bin/output-index-inventory.sh`.
Renamed `bin/sort.gitignore` to `bin/sort.gitignore.sh`.
Renamed `bin/sgi` to `bin/sgi.sh`.
The core logic of converting markdown to HTML has been
generalized into a new `bin/md2html.sh` tool.
The `bin/readme2index.sh` tool now calls the
new `bin/md2html.sh` tool to form entry's `index.html` files.
The `bin/quick-readme2index.sh` tool now calls the new `bin/md2html.sh`
tool, unless the `index.html` is newer than both `.entry.json` and
`README.md`, to form entry `index.html` files.
Increased, slightly, the speed of the `bin/quick-readme2index.sh` tool
with the entry's `index.html` file does not need to be updated.
The `bin/quick-readme2index.sh` tool will touch the `index.html` file,
even if the `bin/md2html.sh` tool determines that the `index.html` file
did not change, so that the `index.html` file will not appear
out of date with respect to `.entry.json`.
Slightly improved the look and feel of `index.html` files for entries.
The logic of `bin/all-run.sh` has been improved. The initial
processing, from first bash version check, thru the -N test, serves
as the model for the `bin/readme2index.sh` tool and the
`bin/quick-readme2index.sh` tool. There tools now share
a common set of command line options.
Changed the format of `inc/md2html.cfg` so that for a given "_file_glob_"
match, options follow, one per line. The "_file_glob_" is on a line
by itself. The option lines that follow must be intended:
```
[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]/README.md
-H
topnav=year
-o
bin/subst.default.sh
-o
bin/subst.year.sh
```
Added "-D ./" to top level markdown files in `inc/md2html.cfg`.
The above intending is performed with 1 or more whitespace
characters, although we use a leading tab "convention"
out of deference to Makefile formats. :-)
Once a new "_file_glob_" is found, the set of any previous
option lines is said to have ended.
The general argument processing logic now makes used of shell arrays.
Added checks in the `bin/md2html.sh` tool to disallow a "_file_glob_"
of . (dot) as this is used internally to help the shell process the
new `inc/md2html.cfg` format.
Changed `bin/all-run.sh` VERSION from "1.1.2 2024-01-20"
to "1.3 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.3.1 2024-01-16"
to "1.4 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` VERSION from "1.3.2 2024-01-19"
to "1.4 2024-02-05".
Changed `bin/quick-readme2index.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2024-01-20"
to "1.1 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/readme2index.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-01-20"
to "1.2 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/subst.default.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-01-16"
to "1.2 2024-02-05".
Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.1.1 2024-01-16
to "1.2 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/output-index-inventory.sh` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-01-16"
to "1.1 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/manifest.entry.json.awk` from "1.0 2024-01-14"
to "1.1 2024-02-11".
Changed `bin/sort.gitignore.sh` from "1.0 2024-02-01"
to "1.1 2024-02-11".
Changed substitution symbol _%%DOCROOT_URL_SLASH%%_ to _%%DOCROOT_SLASH%%_
in various "inc/*.html" files.
Moved setting of symbol _%%DOCROOT_SLASH%%_ from `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`
to `bin/subst.default.sh`.
Changed the variable _$DOCROOT_URL_SLASH_ to _$DOCROOT_SLASH_, in
bin tools that use it, to be more descriptive.
Removed `-P pandoc_opts` from `bin/*.sh` command lines.
The PANDOC_WRAPPER_OPTSTR value is only used in `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh`.
Removed `-B optstr` and `-A optstr` from the `bin/md2html.sh` command line.
Removed `[-O tool=optstr ..]` from the `bin/md2html.sh` command line.
Removed old use of `-U top_url` from command lines.
Add `-w site_url` as sort of a "replacement" for the old `-U top_url`.
Added a new `-U URL` to `bin/gen-author.sh`, `bin/output-index-inventory.sh`,
`bin/md2html.sh`, `bin/subst.default.sh`, and `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`
to allow for the Nu HTML check can use the encoded absolute URL of
the HTML page.
Added `-t tagline` to most command lines.
Added `-T md2html.sh` to most command lines.
Added `-D docroot/` to most command lines to set DOCROOT_SLASH.
The DOCROOT_SLASH value defaults to "../../" for most in tools,
suitable for HTML files under a `YYYY/dir` directory, except for
`bin/gen-location.sh` and `gen-entries-html.sh` (as this produces a
top level HTML file) and `bin/md2html.sh` (forms files at any level)
who use "./" instead.
In the case of `bin/output-index-inventory.sh`, `bin/quick-readme2index.sh`,
`bin/readme2index.sh`, and `bin/all-run.sh`
Helped make the use of exit code in bin tools a bit more consistent.
Fixed a number of typos in the bin tools.
Added comments for lower level tools such as
`manifest.entry.json.awk`, `bin/subst.default.sh`,
`bin/subst.entry-index.sh`, and bin/`manifest.entry.json.awk` to
indicate how they are usually invoked by other tools.
Changed the comments that a new `bin/md2html.sh` tool (that was the
`bin/readme2index.sh` tool) would add to a entry's `index.html` file.
No longer will it add the tool version number to the comment. Thus,
a change in tool version will not force all entry `index.html`
files to be modified. Now both the tool adds two comments, one
is the _tagline_ to indicate how the markdown content was generated,
and one for the new `bin/md2html.sh` tool. For example:
```
<!-- The original markdown content was formed by the tool: bin/quick-readme2index.sh -->
<!-- The HTML was converted from markdown by the tool: bin/md2html.sh -->
```
Improve the debugging, especially in regards to changing important
exported shell variables, in `bin/md2html.sh`. Other bin tools
have their exported shell variables improved somewhat as well.
The `bin/README.md` now describes the general _converting markdown
to HTML_ procedure including _getopt phases_ and _HTML phases_.
Content from `inc/md2html.cfg` and `bin/readme2index.sh` that related
to this topic has been centralized into the `bin/README.md` file.
Improved formatting of the `bin/README.md` file. Updated it as needed
according to the above.
Sorted `2011/.year`, `2018/.year`, and `2019/.year` to be in dictionary order.
Adjusted ${WINNERS} in year Makefile to use dictionary order so
that `make genpath` will produce `.year` files in dictionary order.
FYI: We tested this massive set of changes as best as we could.
Nevertheless we might have missing something in the JSON changes,
`.entry.json` renames, manifest updates, code comments, etc.
After commit c744a1c7942276c644832ced5ffc18aa38768525, the
location tool now assigns the location_code "ZZ"
with the name "Unknown location".
For those `author/author_handle.json` whose
"location_code" and/or "location_name" was a JSON null,
they now use a "location_name" of "ZZ" and
a "location_name" of "Unknown location".
HELP: It would be nice if we could figure out the true location or at
least a well justified guess of authors whose location is now "ZZ".
We cannot simply use a guess based on the name. But perhaps
there are clues as to the current (or past) location of
such IOCCC winner authors.
Updated manifest as per recent file changes.
Updated winner `.winner.json` to reflect the manifest changes.
Added [bin/all_run.sh](bin/all_run.sh) tool to run a command over
all winning entries.
These tools had slight improvements in the help usage message:
* bin/gen-author.sh VERSION="1.3.1 2024-01-16"
* bin/gen-inventory.sh VERSION="1.0.1 2024-01-16"
* bin/pandoc_wrapper.sh VERSION="1.3.1 2024-01-16"
* bin/subst.default.sh VERSION="1.1.1 2024-01-16"
* bin/subst.winner-index.sh VERSION="1.1.1 2024-01-16"
The `bin/readme2index.sh` tool was improved so that
if the `index.html` file exists and the tool forms
the exact same content, then the file `index.html`
file is NOT touched.
* bin/readme2index.sh VERSION="1.1 2024-01-16"
We used the following command to generate `index.html` files
for all winning entries:
```sh
bin/all_run.sh -v 3 bin/readme2index.sh
```
NOTE: We have not (yet) built HTML files above the winner directory
level (e.g., no year level nor top level HTML), nor have be built
non-index HTML files for winners.
NOTE: By default we are running `pandoc(1)` with:
```
--fail-if-warnings=true
```
This means that any problems with markdown to HTML
generates an error. This is done to be sure that
the HTML conversion is clean.
We had to fix the following `README.md` files:
* `2000/rince/README.md`
The reference [^2] was never used. We made a guess that [^2] applies
to the same spot as [^1]. Perhaps there is a better spot where
[^2] applies?
NOTE: For every reference, there MUST be some place where that
reference is used.
* 2012/vik/README.md
The string "$...$" is assumed to be a TeX encoded string.
NOTE: Every "$..$" needs to be backslashed as in "\$..\$".
* 2018/burton1/README.md
The reference [2] was duplicated. We changed the
second [2] to [3].
NOTE: Every reference needs to have a unique number.
* 2020/carlini/README.md
The string "$...$" is assumed to be a TeX encoded string.
NOTE: Every "$..$" needs to be backslashed as in "\$..\$".
We also found 2 errors in the `author/author_handle.json` file set:
* author/Anonymous_2001.json
The `author/Anonymous_2001.json` file was missing.
* author/Jari_Arkko.json
The winner ID for `1989_jar.1` had a typo.
This is because it was decided quite some time ago that there is not
actually a need to escape the '/' in JSON strings and using our jparse
verifies that files with this form are valid JSON.
