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.
To build:
make
To use:
./dhyang
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
A beautiful combination of solving several different problems, but mostly, the single most impressive layout we've ever seen. Many programs have one interesting layout; this one has four.
It may be informative to run the code through a "beautifier", to study it, but the layout itself is where most of the interest lies.
Author's remarks:
This one is dedicated to Saitou Hajime fans ^_^x
Instead of making one self reproducing program, what I made was a program that generates a set of mutually reproducing programs, all of them with cool layout!
For your enjoyment:
- Compile dhyang.c.
- Run
./dhyangand redirect output to another.cfile. - Compile that file.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until eventually the output cycles.
To interpret the output: the dhyang.c is an image of Saitou Hajime, which eventually generates three sources files that are images of "aku soku zan" (sin swift slay), Saitou's motto ;)
For best viewing, set tab spaces to 8 characters, and set your terminal fonts to as close to square as possible. I hate to do this but you know, size...
dhyang.c and all its output compiles with gcc if your OS uses ASCII
character set. No file is included and all functions assume default int return
type (a source of compile warnings).
