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.
To build:
make all
There is an alternate version for those with a compiler that support
-traditional-cpp. See Alternate code below.
To use:
./wall
Alternate code:
This version is the original but which can be used if you have a compiler that
supports the -traditional-cpp option.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
Use wall.alt as you would wall above.
Judges' remarks:
The original version did not have a ';' character in the first line. This caused a number of System V C pre-preprocessors to gripe about a syntax error.
This program is a masterpiece of obfuscation and humor. Larry Wall (the hacker who gave us rn and patch, etc.) asks you to compile and consider the warning message generated by the C compiler. Then execute the program and type characters into its standard input. You will see why the compiler documents the program.
