It now translates the characters '|' (pipe), '=' (equals) and '%'
(percent).
Checks were added in md2html.sh in the -s token=value so that token
cannot contain an = (equal), | (pipe) or a % (percent) and the value
cannot contain a | (pipe).
The reason that we cannot disallow a ';' or '&' is because the html
entities use those characters so if the sed script were to translate the
problematic characters it would cause a problem in the script.
Ran make www which updated 1988/robison/index.html and
1990/theorem/index.html.
1986/bright/README.md was fixed with the number of blank lines between
sections.
The file bin/html.sed has been fixed so that it works with
bin/md2html.sh (which has been modified and which is used via
bin/subst.entry-index.sh and output-index-inventory.sh). The script
output-index-inventory.sh was already updated to use html.sed so this
file has not been modified but the md2html.sh and subst.entry-index.sh
scripts have, along with bin/html.sed itself.
Tested make www which rebuilt several index.html files.
Updated bin/README.md as well as bin/index.html.
Testing that all the html files now are correct wrt Nu checker will have
to be done another time, however.
The script, for now, translates the following characters to their html
entity:
&, <, >
An important note that is in a comment is that the & MUST come first as
otherwise the & in the others will be corrupted.
One script uses this but in order to make sure it is okay make www will
have to be run first. Another script, the one that needs it even more,
has a problem that has to be discussed, before it can be used.
Nonetheless the html.sed file is at least added for the scripts once
things are tested okay.
