| 12:02 | <tobie> | annevk: what does the "w(...)" stand for here: https://github.com/heycam/webidl/pull/517#issuecomment-361855121 |
| 12:10 | <Domenic> | tobie: it stands for "console.log"; it's the syntax used in http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/ |
| 12:11 | <Domenic> | Hmm so am I reading right that plans to use rust-url in Gecko have been abandoned? /cc nox |
| 12:23 | <tobie> | Domenic: ty |
| 12:51 | <nox> | Domenic: Didn’t hear about that. |
| 12:52 | <Domenic> | nox: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=url-oxidation |
| 12:53 | <nox> | There is still MozURL. |
| 16:55 | <Domenic> | How did Bikeshed figure out that it was safe to turn my ' into a ’ inside a code example? It was safe because it was inside a JS comment... is it really that smart? |
| 16:55 | <Domenic> | Not complaining, just impressed/confused |
| 17:24 | <railgun> | Domenic: apologies for taking the question seriously, but here are the revelant bits (I want to contribute to Bikeshed as well so this was a fun exercise for me) |
| 17:24 | <railgun> | fixTypography: https://i.imgur.com/Gf3hSrh.jpg gets called in fixText here: https://i.imgur.com/lLVIxSl.jpg |
| 17:27 | <railgun> | not sure where to go from here though (does the regex handle it or something in fixText?) |
| 17:35 | <railgun> | unrelated, but is there a reason why pages like https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/sections.html#the-nav-element don't have syntax highlighting? |
| 17:44 | <Domenic> | Yeah, HTML uses a different build toolchain :-/. MikeSmith has a patch ready to add syntax highlighting but I think it's waiting on some integration work from TabAtkins? |
| 17:44 | <TabAtkins> | Argh, yes, it's waiting on me. :( |
| 17:47 | <railgun> | oh hey TabAtkins thanks for creating Bikeshed! |
| 17:48 | <TabAtkins> | Domenic: Re smartquote, no, it's not actually that smart. But it does avoid doing the fix on word-ending apostrophes, so it won't catch programming-related quote usage accidentally. |
| 17:49 | <Domenic> | hmm i see |
| 17:49 | <TabAtkins> | railgun: Welcome. ^_^ I did it for myself, and just got lucky that so many other people needed a better toolchain for this stuff too. ^_^ |
| 17:49 | <Domenic> | So it's not safe from a hypothetical language that has some literal syntax like 'foo'u8 or similar |
| 17:49 | <TabAtkins> | Domenic: It's super dumb https://github.com/tabatkins/bikeshed/blob/master/bikeshed/htmlhelpers.py#L596 |
| 17:49 | <TabAtkins> | yeah |
| 17:51 | <TabAtkins> | I'm not sure why I'm doing this over the text before parsing it, tho. All of these transforms would work just fine over the post-parsing text, and then I could avoid code/pre (or be super smart and run it in comments, tho I guess that's still potentially fraught). |
| 18:04 | <railgun> | TabAtkins: that explains why I couldn't find anything relevant haha |
| 18:04 | <railgun> | yeah I noticed the section where you undo fixTypography iirc |
| 18:05 | <TabAtkins> | That whole thing is some bad remnants of my original, much hackier code. Should rip it out and do it proper at some point. |
| 18:12 | <railgun> | Domenic: sorry I missed the syntax highlighting bit, that's great |
| 23:05 | <ska> | Can I point fetch() to a local file? |
| 23:06 | <ska> | If so, how? |
| 23:13 | <Mek> | no, you can't fetch from a local file |
| 23:52 | <railgun> | is it fine if I just open the source file in my browser to preview the changes I make locally? |
| 23:52 | <railgun> | or is there a better way to do it |
| 23:55 | <TimothyGu> | railgun: for bikeshed? I build the output first before previewing :p |
| 23:56 | <ska> | FOr some reason, when I download the file and put it up on my localweb, fetch() is unable to get it. |
| 23:56 | <ska> | Is there some meta-magic I need to provide? |
| 23:57 | <railgun> | TimothyGu: right now I'm just opening the whatwg/html source file in my browser |
| 23:57 | <TimothyGu> | railgun: oh for whatwg/html |
| 23:57 | <railgun> | yeah |
| 23:58 | <TimothyGu> | hmm I don't think I've ever previewed |
| 23:58 | <TimothyGu> | I guess if opening the source file works, great |
| 23:58 | <TimothyGu> | you do know how to create the spec from the source files right |
| 23:59 | <railgun> | most of it works, just some colors and links don't work |
| 23:59 | <TimothyGu> | through whatwg/html-build |
