Landon Curt Noll 7712db4a17 Expand all leading tabs in markdown files
Given how problematic leading tabs in markdown files can be,
we have expanded all leading tabs in markdown files by:

```sh
find * -type f -name '*.md' -print |
  while read -r file; do
    rm -f "$file.tmp" ;
    expand < "$file" > "$file.tmp" ;
    mv -f -v "$file.tmp" "$file" ;
  done
```

Given the previous changes to `bin/pandoc-wrapper.sh` and other recent
commits and recent pull requests, the were were **NO** changes to
any HTML files.  This is a **good thing** as the expression goes.

No there are no leading tabs in any markdown files.
A check to catch any re-introduction of leading tabs
into any markdown file is on the way.

BTW: We do not have anything against leading tabs in files,
even though we have had to deal with their impact on forming
HTML from markdown files (as well as the calc source code).
It is just that this is one of those cases where tabs conflict
(sometimes caused by people wanting to change the classic
8-space tab model) with a desired outcome.

Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.

Third International Obfuscated C Code Contest

View the index.html web page for the given winning entry for information 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 rules for 1986 suggested categories due to the success of the 1985 judging method. The maximum size was increased from 512 to 1024 bytes. Larry Bassel joined as the second official judge.

A poll was taken for the worst code for BSD and System V program. The Bourne Shell (/bin/sh) won for both systems. The BSD finger program took third place.

Rules and results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards. Micro/Systems Journal started regular publishing of the winning entries. The practice of making first announcement of the winning entries at the Summer USENIX BOF (Birds of a Feather) started this year. A notice was posted to net.announce.
