We quasi-canonicalized markdown links to FAQ entries. **IMPORTANT NOTE**: This is a useful step in completing issue #2417. This commit is consistent with the top level TODO comment requirements. Nevertheless, this changes made by this commit needs to be examined and in some cases improved. A link to an FAQ entry is of the form: ``` FAQ on "[the link text](....faq.html#string)" FAQ on "[the link text](....faq.html#string)" ``` The "FAQ" is at the start of the line, or in rare cases is preceded only by whitespace. The reference to the FAQ starts outside of the markdown link with the string **FAQ ON "**. After the markdown link is a **"** followed by either the end of line or a single punctuation character such as a period or comma. We reduced the size of "the link text" that refer to an FAQ to at most 3 words. In some cases the sentence and/or text surrounding the markdown link to a FAQ may need to be further adjusted to better accommodate this new style. **IMPORTANT NOTE**: References to a FAQ entry are on a separate line. p.s. When linking to the `faq.html` file itself, we use markdown of the form "`the [IOCCC FAQ](..../faq.html)`" and place the word "the" outside of the "IOCCC FAQ" link text. Given the above system (and because references to an FAQ entry is on a separate line), the following command shows links to FAQ entries, sorted by FAQ entry "link #name" so that one may evaluate the way a given FAQ entry is referenced: ```sh find * -name '*.md' -print0 | xargs0 grep -E '^[[:space:]]*FAQ on "' | sed -e 's/^\([^:]*\):\( *FAQ on "[^#]*\)#\([^)]*\)\()".*\)$/#\3\t\1\t\2#\3\4/' | sort ``` The above command shows the value of consistency when it comes to FAQ references. **NOTE**: There are a few differences on how a given FAQ is references. That is probably OK as there is NOT an "total mandate" that all references to a given FAQ must have the same "link text" for example. On the other hand if references to a given FAQ can be identical, that might be helpful. We are certain that in some contexts the "link text" might need to change. Should we decide to change the way FAQ are referenced, we will be able to modify identify and modify them with greater ease.' Examine the changes made by this commit and adjust and/or improve as needed. Performed `make www` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.

# Fifth International Obfuscated C Code Contest
|
|
|
|
View the `index.html` web page for the given winning entry for information on how
|
|
on how to compile it and how to run the winning program.
|
|
Look at the winning source and try to figure how it does what it does!
|
|
You may then wish to look at the Author's remarks for even more details.
|
|
|
|
The maximum size of entries was raised from 1024 to 1536 bytes, however smaller
|
|
entries were encouraged. Due to the [Best abuse of the rules entry of
|
|
1987](../1987/biggar/index.html), a limit of 160 chars in the compile line was introduced.
|
|
|
|
This year, the [Best of Show](applin/index.html) was given to the most unusual
|
|
entry and the `best abuse of the C Preprocessor` rather than the most well rounded
|
|
entry.
|
|
|
|
[Rules](rules.txt) and [results](../years.html#1988) were posted to _comp.lang.c_,
|
|
_comp.sources.unix_ and _alt.sources_. The [1988 winning
|
|
entries](../years.html#1988) will be published in the [Micro/Systems
|
|
Journal](https://www.vintage-computer.com/publications.php?microsystemsjournal).
|
|
|
|
Winning entries for previous years were repackaged with each year
|
|
being in its own directory. Makefiles and hints were also provided.
|
|
The package was posted to the _comp.sources.unix_ newsgroup. They are
|
|
also available on a wide number of USENET archive sites.

|
|
