The IOCCC now has a [Discord server](https://discord.gg/2hVYnv83DD)!
Click the link to join the [IOCCC Discord server](https://discord.gg/2hVYnv83DD).
Fans of the IOCCC, hopeful **IOCCC28** contestants, and past winners of the IOCCC
are all encouraged to stop by and say hello.
Based on user input and suggestions, we have been working on some new
functionality for the [mkiocccentry tool set](faq.html#mkiocccentry).
In order to complete and fully test this new functionality, we need
additional time. Therefore the **IOCCC28 open** date as been **moved
forward for 19 days**. Moreover, and also by request, the contest will
remain **open for an additional month**.
The [40th anniversary of the IOCCC](faq.html#ioccc_start), which started
on **2024-12-29 23:58:13.213455 UTC**, is now scheduled to be **open**
from **2025-02-19 23:19:17.130705 UTC** to **2025-05-19 23:29:31.374143
UTC**. We will update the [IOCCC rules](next/rules.html) and
[IOCCC guidelines](next/guidelines.html) accordingly, before the contest opens.
The `chkentry(1)` tool was changed so that the `.auth.json`
arg comes before the `.info.json` arg. These changes are
needed to accommodate and document that change.
Also the use of the single arg as a directory was
removed from documentation (until issue #940 is addressed).
Updated `faq.md` and `README.md` to point at the BSD source for the
old Bourne shell. Mentioned the GENIX operating system for the NS
SYS16 system. Added a note that the links are only approximations
of the BSD code that inspired the IOCCC.
Hello @tanaydin,
We are about to modify the result of your PR #54, @tanaydin to include
a link to the finger daemon source. Unfortunately the finger daemon
source is not found in that 4.2BSD repo, so we had to dip into the
[4.3BSD-Reno](https://github.com/dank101/4.3BSD-Reno) repo, which isn't
exactly correct as that post-dates the 1984 IOCCC starting event but
will have to do.
We modified the link to use HTML "Left Parenthesis" and "Right Parenthesi"
as per [IOCCC markdown guidelines regarding LITERAL “(” or “)” in
markdown link titles](https://www.ioccc.org/markdown.html#parentheses)
in order to your mod to pass the web site test code.
We also modified the references in the FAQ, as per your suggestion.
We also performed needed changes to update the associated HTML files.
We thank you for recommending this change.
Stay tuned for the update.
Added `gen_status` and `gen_sitemap` to near the end of both `make www`
and `make quick_www`. Moved `find_missing_links` to the end of both
`make www` and `make quick_www`.
Updated `sitemap.xml`.
Performed `make www` on macOS to complete the above.
Performed `make quick_www` on macOS to complete the above.
removed most inc files form cleanup except `inc/index.html`.
Updated `sitemap.xml`.
Changed `bin/status2html.sh` VERSION from "1.3.15 2025-01-09"
to "1.3.16 2025-01-09".
Performed `make gen_status gen_sitemap timestamp` on macOS to complete the above.
Modified `bin/status2html.sh` to remove . files from sitemap.
Updated `sitemap.xml`.
Changed `bin/status2html.sh` VERSION from "1.3.14 2024-08-19"
to "1.3.15 2025-01-09".
Performed `make gen_status gen_sitemap timestamp` on macOS to complete the above.
Fixed link in `inc/guidelines.pending.hdr`.
Improved link in `inc/rules.open.hdr`.
Updated timestamps and sitemap with `make gen_status gen_sitemap timestamp`.
Changed `bin/status2html.sh` VERSION from "1.4.3 2024-08-05"
to "1.4.4 2024-12-29".
Performed `make quick_www` on macOS to complete the above.
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
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
Enable
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.
TODO: More testing!
Add `markdown.md` which generates `markdown.html`
to document IOCCC markdown best practices.
Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from to "1.4.1 2024-04-16"
to "1.4.2 2024-04-21".
Added FAQ 0.6 about IOCCC mark requirements.
Run `make gen_top_html timestamp` to perform the above.
We have checked all constructed HTML files for Nu HTML check
errors, warnings and info notices. We have fixed / eliminated
all the problems we have found.
Run `make www` to perform compete the above.
TODO: As one if the final TODO steps when completing
the **Great Fork Merge**, we need to retest all constructed
HTML files.
The `1992/buzzard.2/buzzard.2.README.md` has been improved
so that links to files that is referenced are
directed to the proper web pages (web site or GitHub).
Links in `1992/buzzard.2/buzzard.2.README.md` markdown
files have been changed to the generated HTML files.
Changed `bin/gen-other-html.sh` VERSION from to "1.0.4 2024-04-13"
to "1.1 2024-04-20".
By default, we substitute _%%REPO_URL%%_ and _%%SITE_URL%%_
in inc files.
Changed `bin/subst.default.sh` VERSION from to "1.2.3 2024-04-13"
to "1.3 2024-04-20".
All `-s TOKEN=value` substitutions are applied to all markdown files
that are processed by `bin/md2html.sh`.
Substitutions of and **%%TOKEN%%** are performed on included HTML
content, content generated by the ‘before tool’ (-b tool), content
generated by the ‘after tool’ (-a tool), as well as the markdown
content given to the pandoc wrapper tool (-p tool).
It is an error, unless -S is given, for any phase, except HTML phases
20-29, to not substitute all **%%TOKEN%%**'s. For HTML phases 20-29, any
**%%TOKEN%%** that is not substituted are passed thru without substitution.
Update `bin/index.html` to clarify
Changed `bin/md2html.sh` VERSION from to "1.4 2024-04-18"
to "1.5 2024-04-20".
Fix the _BEFORE: 1st line of markdown file_ and _AFTER: last line
of markdown file_ HTML comments so that the true markdown file
source (not some temporary file) is identified. This prevents
`authors.html`, `location.html` and `years.html` from always changing
due to different temporary files being used on each run.
Run `make www` 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.
The following markdown files were changed in this commit:

Thank you, @chris-sab, for your excellent work and for helping us
commit this alpha version of the topbar.
As part of this work, the following HTML sections were removed:
* begin-row
* begin-leftcolumn
* sidenav
* end-leftcolumn
* begin-rightcolumn
* before-content
* end-rightcolumn
* end-row.default
Also added a new HTML section, just above the "header" section:
* topbar
The web site now as a more modern looking topbar, thanks to the
work of the contractor (GitHub user @chris-sab) who is working on
issue #2273.
Performed `make www` to implement the above and test under macOS.
TODO: Fix the Responsive Web Design to deal with
the new topbar system.
TODO: Improve the topbar. What is there now is
just an alpha version.
TODO: Decide what to do with `png/ioccc.png`.
Remove it make selective use of the image on certain top level
pages lower down?
TODO: The changes to `ioccc.css` causes some
formatting problems with pages such as `location.html` (missing
blank lines). Fix formatting problems as needed.
TODO: Fix the "Nu HTML check this web page"
links on things like the year level _YYYY/index.html_ pages.
TODO: Correct all HTML errors, warnings and perhaps
informative messages from the Nu HTML check.
TODO: Consider adding color (colour) to the
web pages in such a way that people with color perception
challenges can still use the web site.
TODO: For those web browsers that have and allow
JavaScript, make use of technology such as [Code
Mirror](https://codemirror.net/) to directly render source
code (C, shell, Makefile, etc.) with syntax coloring (colouring)
directly in the browser. For non-JavaScript browsers, fallback
to the current use of GitHub source code viewing.
This one of the parts of the change to the [look and feel
change](https://github.com/ioccc-src/temp-test-ioccc/issues/2273#issuecomment-2059754857)
wrote about.
Stay tuned ...
This HTML is now obsolete in HTML 5:

Run `make www` to perform the above.
TODO: Check this fix with the Nu HTML 5 validator.
TODO: Look for other HTML 5 warnings and errors.
In a few cases, the error message related to a file or directory
test was corrected.
Changed `bin/gen-sitemap.sh` VERSION from "1.3.6 2024-04-13"
to "1.3.7 2024-04-14".
Changed `bin/gen-year-index.sh` VERSION from "1.0.6 2024-04-13"

Changed `bin/untar-year.sh` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-04-13"
to "1.0.2 2024-04-14".

and `next/rules.md` to match the _contest_status_ in `status.json`.
Moved `make gen_top_html` after `make gen_status` in `make www`
and in `make quick_www` rules in the top Makefile.
Changed `bin/gen-status.sh` VERSION from "1.2.1 2024-04-13"
to "1.3 2024-04-14".
Fixed the DESCRIPTION for `next/guidelines.html`.
Run `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.
By changing the _inventory_order_ of the compressed tarball from
**100000** to **1415926535**, the compressed tarball will land at
the top of the secondary file list and remain still easy to find.
Updated the `manifest.numbers` spreadsheet and rebuilt
the `.entry.json` files.
Added `next/` directory to hold the next IOCCC rules and guidelines.
Added `next/README.md` that `bin/gen-top-html.sh` uses to form
the `next/index.html` file.
Added _Rules and Guidelines_ link to the sidenav bar to link to the
`next/index.html` file.
Added _IOCCC Rules_ as `next/rules.md` that `bin/gen-top-html.sh`
uses to form the `next/rules.html` file.
Added _IOCCC Guidelines_ as `next/guidelines.md` that `bin/gen-top-html.sh`
uses to form the `next/guidelines.html` file.
Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "1.2.4 2024-04-13"
to "1.3 2024-04-14".
Prevent `pandoc(1)` from interpreting the commented out language
of a markdown code block as a code class. So a markdown such as:
````
``` <!---sh-->
...
```
````
that produced HTML of the form:
```html
<pre class="<!---sh-->"><code>...</code></pre>
```
will now produce HTML of the form:
```html
<pre><code>...</code></pre>
```
NOTE: Before when the language of a markdown code block
was not commented, the HTML produced by `pandoc(1)` was
oddly indented with extra whitespace on the first line
of the code block. While commenting out the language
of the code block removed some of the odd intending,
it left a weird class in the HTML pre block that
surrounded the HTML code block. This hack prevents
`pandoc(1)` from assigning a class to the HTML pre block.
Changed `in/md2html.sh` VERSION from "1.2.1 2024-04-13"
to "1.3 2024-04-14".
Added `make gen_sitemap` to end of both `make www` and `make
quick_www` in top level Makefile.
Ram `make www` to test under macOS and to perform the above.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**: The current `next/rules.md` and `next/guidelines.md`
are simply the 2020 IOCCC Rules and Guidelines converted into
markdown form. There are **NOT** the Rules and Guidelines that
will be used the IOCCC MOCK, nor the next IOCCC.
TODO: Improve the `bin/gen-status.sh` tool to modify the top of the
`next/rules.md` and `next/guidelines.md` files to keep them
in sync with the _contest_status_ as found in `status.json`.
TODO: Improve the look and feel of the `next/rules.md` and
`next/guidelines.md` markdown files.
Fixed the broken links for CC BY-SA 4.0 related icons.
Fixed broken Makefile and C code links in topnav bar
for entries.
