Unless one is mentioned one will not get a push notification so one
should refresh the IOCCC mastodon feed every so often. This is at the
top of the file, though, and seemingly part of a file in inc/ so this
might have to be done differently than how this change was done.
.. though this certainly can be improved some still, the entire wording
of the sentence. That will be considered later.
Thank you to @SirWumpus for indirectly making me aware of this: I know
he hates templates so I feel like I should thank him specially :-)
There were numerous things that had to be fixed and there will likely
have to be some discussion as well.
Some formatting fixes and additional links were also added.
This commit involves some updates to the FAQ and while I was at it I
fixed some references of 'entry'/'entries' to 'submission'/'submissions'
(those that should not be 'entry' or 'entries').
In 1991 the code blocks in the html files should look better with
smaller screens. In one entry, rince, an image was added as the
formatting is too complicated to get right. The text was changed from
two columns to one column and then a screenshot was taken so that it's a
bit easier to see with smaller widths. This looks fairly good on mobile
phones too. The only downside, of course, is if the web pages ever
change to have a different background or code colour it won't match but
it did not look right with mobile phones. This required a manifest
update.
In 1992 one entry's html file defeated me for now so I had to stop. This
can be looked at later. The last entry I am committing changes to is
1991/buzzard.1. It was buzzard.2/buzzard.2.design.md that is a big
problem and will have to be done another time.
Fixed a number of typos, inconsistencies, and problems with the
rules and guidelines.
Improved how the closed version of the rules and guidelines declare
themselves at the top of the markdown and HTML file.
Changed `next/rules.md` VERSION from "2024-06-29-v28"
to "28.1 2024-06-29" in order to be more consistent
with IOCCC tool version format.
Changed `next/guidelines.md` VERSION from "2024-06-29-v28"
to "28.1 2024-06-29" in order to be more consistent
with IOCCC tool version format.
Make a minor format fix to `faq.md`.
Performed `make status` and `make www` to test the above umder macOS.
There is a back and forth dialogue between Landon and the author that
should have been quotes but was code and this commit changes them to
blockquotes. This was one of the tests for commit
95db577489.
It is very hard to find a shade of green that works well in all cases
against the white background and as already established blue and purple
cannot work (and some of those would be hard to work with especially
purple unless very dark maybe). Many possibilities were proposed but
they all seem to be a problem so instead of changing the text to green
there is a border on all sides now (forming a box or if you wish a
'block') and the text colour is black. The box / border is dark green.
The text style is still italic but it is unclear if this is wise. On the
one hand quotes are often in italics but with italics in quotes it means
that any quote with italics will not have those italics stand out.
Tested this change in two different forms: a blockquote where there are
blank lines in between the other lines (it's a dialogue) and a back and
forth dialogue broken up between text that is not a blockquote and it
looks good both in macOS Safari and Safari with an iPhone. This test
involves an entry from 1984 (anonymous) that should have been using
quotes instead of code (and now does but will be committed next) and it
does mean that a quick look over the earlier years for code versus
quotes has to be made but that should not take much effort or time.
At the request of Landon (after I brought it up as a possibility) I have
reworded the Gold/Silver/Bronze Award titles in 2012 so that the
precious metal is first so it flows a bit better.
Why did I suggest this? Because Precious told me to!
There are many fixes made but a few questions remain so when I reach
those years I will address those then. Unfortunately, due to
infrastructure work right now, this is all I can say even though there
are a number of things I'd like to say.
Added a `#weverything` div tag to the FAQ.
Expanded and improved(?) a number of rules and guidelines.
In particular, the consequences of the new mkiocccentry
repo have been put into the rules and guidelines.
This is a checkpoint from which we can review,
edit and improve.
Although 'Email' is sometimes used it feels more out of place in the
middle of a sentence. There might be other files where this could be
done but at the same time there are files that this should not be done -
like source code.
Added testing procedure (markdown, html: testing-procedure.{md,html}).
Updated the recode.{md,html} and README.md for this as well.
Updated the hidden message file (enigma.html) for a bit more fun.
Updated manifest, rebuilt index.html and .entry.json.
The way that markdown quotes are currently formatted (with a gray
vertical line) looks too much like a change bar. The change bar
is an important tool to help notice new and changed rules and
guidelines. Unfortunately the current quotes style looks too much
like a change bar, so we use markdown quotes **ONLY** for literal
quotes (such as from Mark Twain) in the `guidelines.md` file.
