2015-09-05pyblog: add --no-verify to git-commit for buildsZhiming Wang1-1/+1
No point in checking for trailing whitespace etc. in builds.
2015-09-05Self host webfontsZhiming Wang1-2/+4
Sometimes (e.g., occasionally in China) Google/FontAwesome webfonts might not be available, rendering the whole site unusable.
2015-08-27pyblog: add post selector for easier editing of existing postsZhiming Wang1-0/+213
As an added bonus, new post also automatically opens in a text editor now.
2015-08-05pyblog: change generated commit messageZhiming Wang1-1/+1
2015-08-02pyblog: do not keep open .nojekyllZhiming Wang1-2/+3
That will lead to Dropbox constantly syncing the file under preview mode.
2015-07-26tons of logic and performance improvementsZhiming Wang1-12/+10
The main aim is a more logical DOM structure and more performant CSS.
2015-07-24pyblog: add postprocessor process_footnote_backlinksZhiming Wang1-0/+13
Add class and variation selector (# U+FE0E: VARIATION SELECTOR-15) to U+21A9: LEFTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK to fix outstanding font issue of footnote backlinks on mobile. Updated styles accordingly. Trick learned from Daring Fireball. Before: https://i.imgur.com/eUbL1k8.png After: https://i.imgur.com/msv3INn.png
2015-07-23pyblog: convert each <img> tag in <article> to a link to its originalZhiming Wang1-0/+11
2015-07-23pyblog: make HTML postprocessing extensibleZhiming Wang1-8/+16
Previously there's only one postprocessing function `number_code_lines`, which directly reads an HTML file, and after processing, writes back. Now the reading and writing is handled by a dedicated dispatcher `postprocess_html_file`, which can call multiple postprocessors that operates on a soup object.
2015-07-17fix line number placementZhiming Wang1-3/+3
Global font size in each style sheet has been tweaked very carefully so that the precise line height is very close to a whole number of pixels, so that precision alignment using em, which aligns something precise (top: 13.5em) to something inprecise (line heights, with accumulated errors due to rounding in every line), is not lost. Note that Firefox is NOT supported, since each line seems to always occupy one more pixel than the calculated line height. For some reason line numbers in the print view are still rather problematic at a page continuation. In Chrome and Safari, the first two line numbers on a new page tend to overlap, so everything afterwards are off (and on Firefox line numbers do not show up on the second page at all). Anyway, printing shouldn't be a big concern.
2015-07-17index.html TOC: use <table> instead of <ul>Zhiming Wang1-5/+17
For better formatting. The following screenshots illustrate the difference: * https://i.imgur.com/ZfkUpBG.png * https://i.imgur.com/S6cRK00.png I also reduced the indentation on the left of each year's index from 2em to 1em.
2015-07-17take generator source modification time into accountZhiming Wang1-1/+4
Regenerate a page if the generator mtime is later than the page's mtime (just like for the template). Previewer still should be relaunched after modification to the generator, since the generator won't be patched until the next run.
2015-07-05fixes for beautifulsoup4 4.4.0Zhiming Wang1-11/+19
* Explicitly specify the lxml parser to suppress warnings; * Supposedly fix the AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'next_element' issue [1] with BeautifulSoup when finding elements after extracting certain tags. I bet I've encountered that error before, but it seemed to went away somehow. Not this time. Without digging into to much detail (don't have time to file a bug or anything), this fix -- precompile a list of tags to extract, and only extract after done with other processing -- seem to work. * Add .nojekyll to root of build dir (https://help.github.com/articles/files-that-start-with-an-underscore-are-missing/).

2015-06-16fix font issues: moving back to Droid Sans Mono for codeZhiming Wang1-3/+3
I just noticed that code font is crazy without Consolas installed (I recently reinstalled my OS and got rid of Office for Mac 2011 — that's probably why). The line numbers are all off (since the line heights are carefully pre-calculated, and fallback fonts of different leadings won't help). Therefore, I'm moving to the quite nice looking and controllable Droid Sans Mono. Isn't as satisfactory as Consolas on the web, but certainly better than Monaco. Note: I originally copied my list Consolas, Monaco, 'Andale Mono', monospace (I added Courier since I like it a lot as the primitive monospace font) from MDN Wiki, but now it looks like a bad choice when I don't have Consolas any more. By the way, MDN Wiki renders line numbers using JS, so at least they are able to calculate the line heights. I'm serving everything statically, so this is a problem.
2015-06-10pyblog: CDATA text cannot be reusedZhiming Wang1-1/+1
Each lxml.etree._Element.text needs a new CDATA.
2015-06-10pyblog: use lxml instead of xmlZhiming Wang1-38/+7
Specifically lxml.etree instead of xml.etree.ElementTree. This allows CDATA without hack.
2015-06-10pyblog: fix typo in atom feed subtitleZhiming Wang1-1/+2
Subtitle was added along with RSS, but I accidentally used <title> instead of <subtitle> for the tag.
2015-06-10pyblog: implement RSS feedZhiming Wang1-23/+204
2015-06-09pyblog: extract script tags from feedsZhiming Wang1-0/+3
Fixes #2.
2015-06-09pyblog: fix URL formatsZhiming Wang1-6/+8
Use canonical format for BLOG_HOME, and use urllib.parse.join for safe concatenation.
2015-06-09pyblog: do not include line-number classes in feedZhiming Wang1-0/+3
For one thing, the top attribute is not recommended in feeds (see https://github.com/zmwangx/zmwangx.github.io/issues/2). Also, extracting line numbers (which are useless in feeds) make the feeds smaller.
2015-05-22pyblog: bug fix in auto retouchZhiming Wang1-7/+11
2015-05-19pyblog: smarter auto touchZhiming Wang1-15/+16
Now reading date directly from post.
2015-05-14add noscript tag for javascript embedded asciicastZhiming Wang1-0/+2
2015-05-14pyblog: fix bug in re match object handlingZhiming Wang1-3/+3
Somehow the linter failed to catch the obvious syntax errors.
2015-05-14add source code line numbersZhiming Wang1-0/+36
The way I handle line numbers and the pre block in general is inspired by the MDN wiki. See, for instance, https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/A_re-introduction_to_JavaScript a screenshot is here: https://i.imgur.com/982TBDc.png Also tweaked other styles, e.g., changed the primary monospace font to Consolas, and slightly tweaked a few old posts.
2015-05-13pyblog: smarter autotouch in gen_deployZhiming Wang1-3/+13
2015-05-13sitemap.xml: correct <lastmod> datetime formatZhiming Wang1-3/+5
coreutils date --iso-8601=s generates output like 2015-05-13T13:04:24-0700 while the correct format (at least the format Python datetime.datetime.isoformat() prints, and the format Google expects) is 2015-05-13T13:04:24-07:00 Account for this problem. I didn't read the RFC, so not sure.
2015-05-13add support for lfooter (updated) and top level pages...Zhiming Wang1-17/+39
(other than index.html).
2015-05-13pyblog: put hard coded string literals into constantsZhiming Wang1-20/+43
Configuration constants are configurable at the top of the source file. This is not final: they should be put into a YAML/INI config file in the end.
2015-05-09try to debug failed buildZhiming Wang1-26/+32
https://travis-ci.org/zmwangx/zmwangx.github.io/builds/61860458 First step in debugging: dump the HTML to see what's missing and how it missed.
2015-05-0920150509 storyboard reached 0.1Zhiming Wang1-7/+3
Also fixed the bugs in pyblog introduced in the last revision and tweaked the theme a bit.
2015-05-07add requirements.txtZhiming Wang1-1/+2
Also install requirements in .travis.yml. By the way, I explored ways to install Pandoc in a Travis container environment (without sudo), but that's just too hard. Giving up.
2015-05-07pyblog: implement auto touching in gen_deployZhiming Wang1-18/+74
Even after implementing touch, I can't remember to touch a new post before deploying. Now gen_deploy tries to smartly determine the latest post and prompts for touching.

2015-05-06fix minor invalid HTML issuesZhiming Wang1-1/+1
2015-05-05add sitemap.xml and robots.txtZhiming Wang1-2/+46
2015-05-0520150505 Graceful handling of SIGINT when using Python's multiprocessing.ProcessZhiming Wang1-21/+105
Also implemented the "touch" action in pyblog, as well as wrote a README.md for the source branch. And some other minor patching.
2015-05-05add feed icon to footerZhiming Wang1-2/+3
Among other fixes and tweaks.
2015-05-05pyblog: get preview rightZhiming Wang1-81/+36
Apparently I didn't know what I was doing. Stopping the server is such a simple problem, yet I made it so complicated. Handling SIGINT gracefully, on the other hand, is a little bit tricky, due to blocked communication between different processes. Anyway, I've got it covered now.
2015-05-05pyblog: implement previewZhiming Wang1-19/+170
Also tweaked icons a bit. Note that this commit doesn't really work: I implemented a "stoppable HTTP Server" here to be stopped when "mother process" receives SIGINT (i.e., KeyboardInterrupt), without realizing that all porcesses get SIGINT. Therefore, the custom server is hardly needed. See http://git.io/vJ9yA for more information. (This implementation has some value tought, that's why I'm committing to keep it in history.)
2015-05-05pyblog: implement deploy and gen_deployZhiming Wang1-11/+150
Also changed month to short format on the index page.
2015-05-0520150505: New blog, new startZhiming Wang1-14/+72
Also fixed several problems: 1. Rending SVG and making it a clickable link is basically impossible across multiple browsers. I'm now using a pretty good PNG; 2. Implemented new_post in pyblog; 3. Footnotes related updates to the theme.
2015-05-05handle navigation button and faviconsZhiming Wang1-2/+2
Note that I'm using an <embed> tag with the svg because if wrapped in <img>, the svg won't render on Safari. After using the <embed> tag, the svg renders on all four major browsers on OS X (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera), and it looks nice on all three but Firefox, in which case it's crappy as fuck.
2015-05-05convert date metadata field to ISO 8601Zhiming Wang1-2/+0
2015-05-05a lot of workZhiming Wang1-7/+242
Mainly generating feed and index.
2015-05-04edit posts and (mostly) figured out the themeZhiming Wang1-0/+145
Also wrote pyblog that currently can generate parts most of the blog.
