As requested on GitHub: a tool that will be written, readme2index, will,
as explained:
'... will take the converted HTML from the README.md markdown and
inject it into an HTML template. Things such title, award one and
author information will be injected into the HTML page ahead of the
HTML that was converted from the README.md markdown. Without going
into details of HOW at this time, the result will be a coherent HTML
index.html page with the winner title / award, winning author
information, and important file links come from other sources and
NOT from the README.md file.
The text from the 1st award line, thru the authorship information,
and up to but not including the "## To build:" line in the README.md
file will just get in the way. Moreover authors might be tempted to
try and maintain that top of README.md text instead of working with
the author/_author_handle_.json and winner .winner.json files.
This was done with my[0] sgit(1) (https://github.com/xexyl/sgit) tool like:
sgit -o -n -e '/^## To build:/,$p' '[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]/*/README.md'
[0] Is that shameless self-promotion? I don't know but I don't care: it
is generally a very useful tool and has been used in other repos too.
Besides, I've done it many times before and it's a great example that I
will be adding to the README.md file of the tool, one I hadn't thought
of doing.

To build:
make all
NOTE: there is an alternate version which will only work if
you have an old enough compiler or a compiler that supports -traditional-cpp.
The original code was fixed in 2023 to not require this.
Bugs and (Mis)features:
The current status of this entry is:
STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix
For more detailed information see 1984 decot in bugs.md.
To use:
./decot
Alternate code:
This alternate code, the original, requires a compiler that supports
-traditional-cpp or an old enough compiler. If you have such a compiler you
can use this version.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
./decot.alt
Judges' remarks:
This program prints out a string of garbage.
The judges also offer this one comment: understand remarks!
Historical remarks:
Some new (in 1984) compilers disliked line 15 of the original source, so we changed it from:
for(signal=0;*k * x * __FILE__ *i;) do {
to:
for(signal=0;*k *x * __FILE__ *i;) do {
To see what we mean look at the original source file. The alternate code is the version that has this modification. The fixed version has instead:
for(signal=0;*k *= * __FILE__ *i;) do {
