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.

Notes on these archives
These zip2 compressed tarballs were preserved as an archive of the winning source code that was available on the official IOCCC web site as of 2020 Dec 28. These zip2 compressed tarballs represent the "released" IOCCC winning source, as modified by the IOCCC judges and winning authors as of 2020 Dec 28.
You might wish to note that the archive/historic/archive-all.tar.bz2 file found in this archive produces a somewhat newer version of the released IOCCC source for 1984, 1985, 1986 and 1987 in that the winning entries for those years were still found in single year directories. Thus the archive/historic/archive-1984.tar.bz2, archive/historic/archive-1985.tar.bz2, archive/historic/archive-1986.tar.bz2, archive/historic/archive-1987.tar.bz2, zip2 compressed tarballs represent a somewhat earlier form of the "released" IOCCC winning source for those years. This a somewhat earlier set of IOCCC winning source may be found in the archive/archive-YYYY.tar.bz2 files.
In addition the archive/archive-all.tar.bz2 file has
a slightly newer version of the 2011 rules and guidelines.
as well as a newer version of 2012/tromp hint files.
For your convenience we keep an archive of the zip2 compressed tarballs as found in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine as of [2022 Dec 28)(https://web.archive.org/web/20201228005211/https://www.ioccc.org/).
How to unpack
HINT: To uncompress a given bzip2 compressed tarball file, use:
tar -jxvf file.tar.bz2
where "file.tar.bz2" is the name of a file found in this directory.
To uncompress all of the 2022 Dec 28 archive using the year based bzip2 compressed tarball files:
for year in 198{4,5,6,7,8,9} 199{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,8} 200{0,1,4,5,6} 201{1,2,3,4,5,8,9} 2020; do
rm -rf "$year"
tar -jxvf "archive-$year.tar.bz2"
done
