We add to the top level Makefile, some initial rules that
will facilitate the building of HTML content.
The `bin/md2html.sh` tool as been updated to output HTML comments
about the output during HTML phases 20, 21 and 22.
All entry `index.html` files were updated with some additional HTML
comments as a result of the above. The top level `location.html`,
`years.html` and `authors.html` have had HTML comments added also
a result.
Sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦) for the mass update of entry `index.html` files.
Hopefully the times when all of them (often) need to be updated
will soon draw to a close.
To build:
make all
To use:
echo foo bar | ./dg
Try:
./try.sh
Judges' remarks:
Some C preprocessors got confused about single quotes in certain cases. In particular, the following source line:
b12(ase(bco(acp(bi(acp(bcp(acp(bpl(aqu(bqu(A))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
sometimes has to be changed to:
b12(ase(bco(acp(bi(acp(bcp(acp(bpl('A'))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
particularly if the C preprocessor botches single quotes in cpp expansions, which we have done for the wider audience.
Author's remarks:
If my preprocessor could hack it, I could write this as one single line rather than 4, but when I do that I get a complaint "defines nested too deeply".
Obfuscation spoiler:
This is another rot13 job (believe it or not) - the #defines are a
novel way of adding tokens: #define b12(x) 12 x means that at
some point in the source a 12 is followed by the compressed nested
#defines. The b12 gets the previous compression as an argument, and
prepends the 12, thus making another step in the recreation of the
source. The axx() #defines do the same, but add tokens after.
As for the rot13 algorithm, it relies on index(3) to find if the
character is in the set A-Za-z. l[] is an array that gets filled
with:
"nopqrstuvwxyzzzzabcdefghijklmmmmNOPQRSTUVWXYZZZZABCDEFGHIJKLMMMM"
If index(3) says the char is in the alphabet, then XOR the offset
with 16 to translate, and output, otherwise pass it unchanged.
