23:01
Referenced prior commit's feature in the changelog check-in: 6f532afa user: wyoung tags: trunk
22:56
Allow rendering of Pikchrs to SVG via /doc/…/foo.pikchr?popup URLs. This allows a file stored in the repo to be referenced as an SVG from other pages. Closed-Leaf check-in: 758170bc user: wyoung tags: render-pikchr-via-doc-popup
2024-02-29
19:48
Removed extra indent in the login groups doc. Not caught earlier because it's buried in the "caps" section. check-in: a7255ba5 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-28
18:16
URL fix in previous; remote path needs to be part of the URL, and we can avoid giving the local clone path by using the new clone-and-open functionality. check-in: 69959fa5 user: wyoung tags: trunk
18:10
Extended the sync doc with info about PATH implications of finding the fossil binary on the remote system over ssh: URLs, including formal documentation (for the first time?) of the ?fossil= query parameter. check-in: a975ccb7 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:52
Added fragment identifiers to the h2 and h3 levels of the sync doc, for referring to individual sections. check-in: 5ca63acf user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-23
17:48
Reworked the handling of the three "selected" row cases in /timeline (current, first-in-range and last-in-range) so the borders and highlighting extend to the left margin. The "current" case (seen under "fossil ui" only, to indicate the ckout version) wasn't a problem, but the other two use background colors potentially confusable with branch colors. This makes the timelines more like that of the Fossil 2.23 and prior default skin (now called Étienne) but with rounded corners in the modern modes, matching the rest of the timeline.

This occurs in all timeline modes, including the classic, compact, and verbose views. The result is that the corners for these selected row types are rounded, but because they tend to be compact, it gives a full-round look on the ends. Avoiding this would require considerably more verbose CSS, and it's plenty intricate as it is. check-in: 9568091a user: wyoung tags: trunk

01:56
Extended [b272004b] to cover the "classic" timeline mode as well. check-in: ef4a1e81 user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:20
Comment cell highlighting in /timeline now takes into account the compact and verbose modes better, and it separates out the rounding from the coloring so it can apply less rounding and a bit more padding in these same two cases, to avoid having the text near the corners crash into the borders. check-in: b272004b user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-20
14:35
Changed home page title from "Home" to "A Coherent Software Configuration Management System" since docs now show the title in the body area. "Home" in the title area was fine, but now it wants something more explanatory of the page's content.

Moved the list of links on the right up a bit as a result.

Switched the ASCII hyphens to em dashes in the list of Fossil attributes belo. check-in: 452726d6 user: wyoung tags: trunk

2024-02-18
20:31
Improved appearance of the new CGI URL breakdown Pikchr: colorized it and made use of polygons instead of spindly lines to indicate the parts. check-in: 11420bbb user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:56
Further improvements to pre styling, now taking MD forum posts into account. check-in: 77f91620 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:46
Merged two redundant style rules for sidebars. Manual merge error? check-in: 825efe96 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:35
Removed horizontal rules in backup doc used to offset the bigger code blocks. Between the new light-gray background and the indents, they're adding noise more than helping break the page up. check-in: 6b520900 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:26
Removed manual indents in command and file examples in the ssl doc. check-in: 1e0c0d04 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:24
Replaced use of inline "###" MD markup in the customgraph doc with simple boldfacing to avoid the indents given to all h3 now. Besides, headers inside lists…? Dodgy. check-in: c2c55014 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:18
Removed manual indents in code examples in the pikchr doc check-in: 1ed362da user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:17
Removed manual indents of code blocks in webui doc check-in: 94375184 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:15
Replaced use of MD blockquotes for command examples with MD code blocks. check-in: 006b61b0 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:10
The new skin's table styling now applies to docs served via /dir and /file URLs as well. Applying the new light-gray background styling on code blocks now, not just inline snippets. Lightened the gray level. check-in: a9742101 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:03
Replaced blockquote-formatted commands in ssl-server doc with indented code blocks for consistency with the other docs. check-in: f19f5369 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:59
Centered the Pikchrs in the rebaseharm doc, and replaced an HTML table with the MD equivalent. check-in: 9607f5b4 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:45
Replaced a use of local formatting for a code example in the aboutdownload doc with generic verbatim formatting. check-in: fc2965be user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:43
Pikchr-ized the ASCII-art breakdown of the URL into CGI vars in the aboutcgi doc. check-in: f4370d80 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:12
Replaced an HTML table in the hashes doc with the MD equivalent. This not only makes the markup version easier to read, it allows the skin's table styling to take full effect. check-in: 7268a9b8 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:08
Assorted improvements to Pikchr handling in the docs under the new skin. check-in: b3d99d92 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:28
Removed extra indent in an MD code block. check-in: eedcd150 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:27
Removed manual indents in verbatim blocks in forum doc. check-in: 6c9755b9 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:25
The skin's new "indent" class for block elements doesn't apply to "p" tags due to CSS cascading rules. Changed them to divs to sidestep this limitation. Also fixed another instance of bold formatting interfering with abutting italics. check-in: d8e2a3b8 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:19
Modernized table-based formatting in delta_encoder_algorithm doc. check-in: 65853cc1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:15
The chat doc was using blockquote MD markup for code examples, making them look different from all the others. check-in: d6dff8d7 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:08
Fixed another case of extra indenting in the globs doc check-in: ea3925bd user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:06
Style tweak in the embedded doc: italic next to bold causes the slanted letters to crash into the surrounding bold text. Bold-italic solves that. check-in: 99e6f717 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:04
Fixed a 5-space indent in one of the customskin doc's examples with MD's 4-space minimum to avoid extra indent. check-in: b6fa99e8 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:01
Replaced local "tt" formatting of command examples in the contribute doc with generic pre so that it is styled uniformly by the skin. check-in: 647dadf2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:45
Removed manual indents on command examples in the branching doc; the skin does that now. check-in: ccd880e4 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:43
Merged another redundant page title in the whyusefossil doc. Also, making use of the new h5 level formatting to avoid the need for inline manual boldfacing. check-in: b1a709a1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:34
Replaced a few more bits of local formatting in the adding_code doc with generic "verbatim" blocks, uniformly styled by the skin. check-in: 4003c654 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:31
Consolidated the dual titles in the tech_overview doc into one; the new body-area h1 tag for docs makes the old styling redundant. check-in: 010e5527 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:15
Comment improvement check-in: 261f80db user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:04
The inline "code" snippet styling in [4772a9b2] now applies to MD forum posts. check-in: 32c4522d user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-17
19:09
Proposed changes to the home page, mainly to work better with the new skin, but also a bit of a branding touch-up. Closed-Leaf check-in: b85779e4 user: wyoung tags: new-home-page-title
18:24
The h1 handling change in [b1f6753c] left a few definitions behind. Fixed. check-in: 06a70ff8 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:33
The increased line-height CSS for "code" blocks is now reflected into the line number column in /file?ln views, keeping the two in sync. check-in: d7457526 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:14
Superior alternative to [e4aca28d1c3f5e8d]: instead of trying to treat the title on pages like /chat specially, treating the four main doc types specially, turning the body-area h1 on only in that case. This restores the Étienne skin's behavior for all other page types. check-in: b1f6753c user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-11
13:23
Updated the customskin doc to cover the new WCAG semantic header/footer tagging, and to give advice on migrating from earlier versions, where custom skinning would have copy-pasted the old way of doing things. Linking to this advice from the changes doc for the benefit of those those paying attention to the change log. check-in: b3f449e8 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:45
Removed the body-area h1 from the /chat message-area size calculation now that it's being suppressed in CSS. This should be a net zero now. check-in: e4aca28d user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:46
Suppressing the body-area "Chat" header on mobile. It takes up space to no useful end. check-in: c0541318 user: wyoung tags: trunk
10:56
Merged two near-identical lists of CSS selectors in the /chat JS into one. As far as I can tell, they _are_ supposed to be identical, since they're both concerned with calculating the "framing" elements of the chat area, being everything other than the list of messages. It looks like they slipped out of that ideal in the way duplicated code does. check-in: 1cf4a7d7 user: wyoung tags: trunk
10:27
Grammar fix in "Left-align my posts" /chat setting hint check-in: aca0be16 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-10
23:15
Applied semantic header and footer tag changes made to the default skin to all the others. This not only improves WCAG 2 conformance, it's necessary to allow the prior commit's changes to the /chat JS to find the equivalent header/footer/mainmenu/hbdrop tags in these skins, too. check-in: 8f344297 user: wyoung tags: trunk
22:12
Fixes to /chat's js to allow for the new skin changes. (Mea culpa; didn't even think to try /chat while working on all this.) check-in: 4dc87985 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:36
Modernized the default skin, primarily to improve readability, and forked off the old default as "Étienne", named in honor of its creator. check-in: 8a1ba49b user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:29
Removed redundant sidebar styling; should've been done as part of [bcbd1c1e]. Closed-Leaf check-in: 8aff4854 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
12:26
Removed a bunch of manual indents in pre blocks, MD fenced code blocks, etc. The skin does that for us now. check-in: 2a7b1de3 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
11:20
Whitespace fix check-in: 2ccdfa41 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
11:02
Applied a few whitespace fixes to etienne/css.txt matching those in default/css.txt, to make the diff between them easier to read. check-in: ce479eea user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
11:00
Comment fix check-in: 67a10cd7 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
10:56
Restored the page title font size to the old default when it's up above the menu bar. Lost this in all the font size shuffling, seen now in comparison to what we're now calling skin=etienne. check-in: c013926f user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
10:28
Copied table formatting over to Étienne skin, but in monochrome form and without any of the extra whitespace in the default version. check-in: f6897ff2 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
10:20
Moved most of the sidebar implementation up into default.css in a generic form so all skins share it, including Étienne. What remains behind in the new default skin are the accent colors for the background and the left border. The generic form simply applies a tint darkening to whatever background it finds itself on, which works for most of the stock skins. check-in: bcbd1c1e user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
10:17
Applied Vim filetype modeline to the new Étienne skin so we don't lose syntax highlighting when bouncing between this and default. check-in: 89ceba16 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
09:54
Initial fork of the trunk default skin into "Étienne" (a.k.a. "etienne" without the accent for easier use in ?skin=" and such) for use by those who want to return to the old default once this branch is merged to trunk.

At the moment, it is a straight copy with the intent of forming a baseline for the minimal changes I'm about to make in order to allow the Fossil doc changes on this branch to render reasonably. check-in: 7d8631f1 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

09:30
Added branch change summary to changes doc. check-in: d08e47ce user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
09:22
Sidebars now float to the right of the main content when there's space to allow both. This doesn't wholly invalidate [c062e330], but this is a better overall solution. check-in: 265412ee user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
09:15
Applied pre-wrap styling to the command example at the top of the checkin names doc to keep it from crashing into the Quick Reference sidebar on mobile. check-in: c062e330 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:55
Applied the header and footer improvements from the wcag-2.1 branch. Changes generic divs with class labels into semantic elements that a browser can then treat specially, given their meaning. check-in: b48e4836 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:44
Collected two wiki-related CSS items to keep the diff relative to trunk smaller. check-in: 58fa5819 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:33
Whitespace fixes, for clarity check-in: 235aaa02 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:29
Moved the bit applying extra line height to paragraph-type elements into the "@media screen" section. The justification for this only applies to wide browser windows. It's too much leading for smartphones. check-in: db87ded1 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:45
Removed a stray semicolon check-in: 228626bc user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:40
Added kbd, samp and var element selectors to the list getting monospace treatment in the default.css file. check-in: a76312cd user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:37
Restored the #444 text color for headers, since bold and big text doesn't have the same need for high contrast ratios to be readable. check-in: a3903958 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:18
Deepened the dark gray body text color enough to allow us to simultaneously hit the two targets specified by the WCAG 2 accessibility standard: the 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio between the background and the link, and the 3:1 ratio between the link and the surrounding body text. We've been called out on accessibility grounds for our prior "#444" body text color before, so this change is not merely placating the calculator. We believe the WCAG standards are based on solid human factors research, and this is a good time to address that. check-in: 2267249c user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
04:42
Extended [4772a9b2ccbb4c3c] to include less-common inline monospace tag types: var, samp, and kbd. Because this creates a nice and big combinatorial selector explosion, moved the explanation for this type of thing up from the "@media screen" handling of pre to this point, then referenced it from these places. Switched from SCSS to Sass syntax to make the examples clearer. This CSS is in fact generated from these samples, then hand-tweaked for clarity. check-in: cb038b48 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
2024-02-09
08:25
Increased the brightness of unvisited links to bring their contrast up relative to body text above the 3:1 recommended by the WebAIM link contrast checker. This unavoidably drops the contrast with the background from around 4:1 to 3:1, but if links are kept short (ideally, one word only) this is a good tradeoff. check-in: 17a64176 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:16
Replaced static pale blue background for selected forum posts with a CSS animation that fades the default.css blue out to white over a second after page load. Also made the left border of the forumSel post's box heavy to serve as an after-animation selection indicator. check-in: 9df0a451 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
03:09
Simplified the style overrides on the fossil-v-git doc's ToC table to give the browser more layout freedom, preventing it from being clipped off on the right edge on smaller mobile devices. check-in: ca973301 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:52
Removed extra whitespace in command examples in fossil-v-git doc. Skin does that now. check-in: b3687279 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:30
Backed off on mobile body font size reduction from 0.8em to 0.9em for the same reason we did it for desktop. check-in: 3e230920 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:29
Experimental styling of inline code and tt blocks in user content like everyone else (Stack Exchange, GitHub, Reddit, Discord…) do, with a light gray background and slight expansion of the box area, to offset it from the prose. check-in: 4772a9b2 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:13
Abandoned the +5% size bump for monospace fonts entirely. Its correctness is far too contingent on the font selected and the browser's quirks. check-in: 9f3e59cf user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:36
Reduced the font size adjustment for monospace fonts from +10% to +5% after testing on mobile, and made it apply to the same list of monospace font classes defined in src/default.css. check-in: e220683a user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:19
Simplified the SCSS example code by use of the language's "&" feature and an extra layer to handle the .content commonality. check-in: 6ad8bc58 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:18
Dropped the div.content layer out for /fileedit and /wikiedit. If it were necessary, we'd have to invert these two, but it isn't due to the earlier point about these selectors being plenty specific via direct ID element targeting. check-in: 3f21415f user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:00
Don't need to be as specific on the selectors targeting the /fileedit and /wikiedit preview tabs due to their use of "<div id=" naming. There is no reasonable possibility for an overreach here. check-in: 902ea745 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
00:17
Merged pikchr changes from trunk. (About to rebuild the containers, and we need both sets of changes on the public demo mirror.) check-in: e471c5ff user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
00:15
Small tweak to make comment match code check-in: fb0c1e71 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
00:12
The /fileedit and /wikiedit preview areas now show the skin's @media screen indent levels properly. The nine selectors we previously had per top-level tag had to become _sixteen_ (!) owing to Fossil's historical lack of consistency in applying parent classes. We could clean it all up on this branch, but then who knows how many custom skins that would break… check-in: 0d7cdbb0 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
2024-02-08
22:38
Removed the duplicate copy of the SCSS input to the selector explosion in default/css.txt. It's getting too complex to maintain the duplication, and it's about to get worse. Linking it by reference now. check-in: f5a80cad user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
22:18
Added yet another special-case handler for the new skin's @media screen indent applicator. We were handling wiki embedded docs before, but we weren't handling the /wiki pages themselves. These appear with a top-level body class of "wiki", not "doc". check-in: a1ebcb23 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
20:35
Merged trunk changes in check-in: 9a9276d6 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
2024-02-04
05:52
Applied the new div class=sidebar styling to a few more cases in the docs. check-in: 701ea4d0 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:43
Removed extra indent level from the release doc link in the permuted index, generated by the mkindex.tcl script. check-in: 01764fea user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:27
Moved the page title on mobile from after the project name and the slash separator in the header to just above the content area, styled as a separate "h1" element, same as in an embedded doc with an "h1" inline. This accommodates long page titles better on narrow screens while leaving desktop-class windows alone. Reduced the size of h1 to be closer to h2 as a consequence. Also removed the new logo's top-padding on mobile to fit in better with all this. check-in: f2ef252e user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:06
Triumphant return of the logo in the title area, lost in the transition from "original" to the trunk default skin. check-in: 45b05501 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
04:50
Bumped submenu font size up slightly. This isn't so much a change from trunk as a restoration of trunk, tracking the overall body font size changes. check-in: 1b205333 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
04:42
Added three new block-element classes to the skin to replace use of "blockquote" with semantic alternatives:
  • "indent" for cases where the only purpose was to indent things
  • "blockquote" where you want an actual block quote in a wiki doc and thus can't use a "blockquote" element due to the historical misuse of this tag, preventing us from doing the same for it as we do for MD
  • "sidebar" when the reason you wanted an indented paragraph was to create a sidebar; this is styled much like a blockquote in MD (or the new "blockquote" class in wiki docs) but floats to the right.

Using all three of these in the remaining www/ docs that still used explicit "blockquote" tags.

(If you're wondering why the prior commit claims to have dealt with all of these tags when this commit belies that, it's because this work was done en masse, then split up into two related commits to keep the commit messages more on-point. It was easier to commit these two chunks of work in this order. It would have required a complicated dance with the stash to commit them in the more logical order.) check-in: 56c7c2cb user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

04:29
Replaced nearly all explicit uses of the "blockquote" tag in the embedded docs:
  • Constructs like "<blockquote><pre>" are now simply "<pre>"
  • Ditto "<blockquote><b>" for command examples, which then allowed me to get rid of explicit "br" elements; pre does that for us.
  • Where it was used merely to get an indent for a code block, we're now using pre or verbatim instead, depending on whether we need embedded HTML and/or pre-wrap handling. (Not the same thing as the prior item.) In some places, this let us replace use of HTML-escaped code blocks in pre with verbatim equivalents, not needing the escaping, allownig the doc source to read more like the rendered HTML.
  • Use of blockquotes to get hierarchical indenting is no longer necessary; the skin does that. A good example is indenting ol and ul lists under the parent paragraph; additional manual indenting is no longer necessary.

The only remaining instances of "blockquote" under www/ are necessary:

  1. The copyright release doc is plain HTML, without the fossil-doc wrapper, giving it no access to the new skin improvements.
  2. One MD doc wants a blockquote in the middle of a list, and the current parsing rules don't let us use ">" there.
  3. The skinning ...

04:01
Small cosmetic tweaks to the mirrortogithub doc on this branch to work better with the skin. check-in: cabbf1ca user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
03:59
Merged backslash fix in from trunk check-in: d9debe90 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
03:58
Use of a trailing backslash in a command example in the mirrortogithub doc wasn't rendering as expected, leading the command to be split in the HTML rendering, not continued across multiple lines as intended. Replaced it with an HTML named entity to sidestep this quirk of the MD renderer. check-in: 221cf52b user: wyoung tags: trunk
02:57
Removed a bunch of explicit blockquote tags in the encryptedrepos doc which were essentially duplicating the hierarchical indent structure now implemented by this branch's skin changes. This is why we want to do this at the skin level: so all pages get this appearance, avoiding the need for manual formatting on each page. check-in: 01e364c6 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:53
Replaced use of an explicit "blockquote" tag in an MD doc with a leading ">". It's not only simpler markup, it generates slightly different HTML output, leading to better formatting under this skin. check-in: 9f71793c user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:39
Reworked the remaining custom CSS in the server index doc to cascade properly with the new table styling in the skin. check-in: d3c55b57 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Removed explicit CSS at the top of the server index doc. In some ways, this was a prototype of this branch's skin changes, with the result that we were getting double-indents, one from the skin and one from the local additions meant to give hanging headers to the current trunk default skin. check-in: 3291f68f user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:30
Removed extra space around pre.verbatim blocks in wiki output; plain "pre" has space already, and the extra means that if you use them both on the same page, you see the difference. check-in: 06dfb683 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Removed table styling overrides once more for the checkin_names doc's Quick Reference table. Prior backout commit reverted that. check-in: 2da64ba4 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
23:37
Found a simpler fix for [6b40ee53]: put a blank line between the end of the floated-right table and the first paragraph. Reduces the diff for this file relative to trunk to a single LF. check-in: 6088d203 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
23:12
Merged trunk. Notably, drh's [bb3de39ffefb3f20] works seamlessly with this branch's skin. check-in: 4f9cb1d1 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
23:03
Disabling the "auto paragraph" feature in the wiki renderer when styling an HTML "table" element. Without this, the first cell's contents gets wrapped in "p" tags, unnecessarily. (None of the other cells are treated thus.) With the trunk default skin, this extra tag was invisible, but with this branch's skin, it shows up as a double-height first row in every table. For tables with a header row, this may appear to be an intentional esthetic choice, but it's not; it's a rendering bug.

Credit for this goes to Stephan Beal (the eminent repo archaeologist) plus whichever "anonymous" posted this ticket, way back in 2010! check-in: 6f94da9b user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Wrapped the TH1 vars declared for custom skinning in backticks for better MD formatting, avoiding the need to escape underscores to prevent them from being interpreted as requesting italics. Fixed a typo in one of the variable names while in there; the visual noise of one of these escaped underscores hid the typo. check-in: 3b505e6f user: wyoung tags: trunk

Merged all trunk changes in except for the underlined link change to default.css. check-in: 6301f6ce user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Found and fixed yet another exception to the many [mis]uses of blockquote tags… check-in: 11805fcf user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Yesterday's reworking of document body indents left forum post blockquotes double-indented. Applied the same restrictions to them as to other element types. check-in: 8fe40229 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
20:31
Made title and menubar fonts more closely match the trunk default. check-in: 7ebb635e user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
20:24
Moved the first paragraph of the checkin names doc up above the Quick Reference sidebar table to sidestep the previously-mentioned wiki rendering bug, at the minor expense of pushing said sidebar down slightly. (Also removed local overrides on the table, to let the skin's table styling take over fully.) The prior checkin's fix the first-line spacing problem doesn't suffice; the bug still leaves this paragraph unindented and without the same line spacing as the others. check-in: 6b40ee53 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
20:12
It is possible to trick the wiki to HTML renderer into leaving the first paragraph unwrapped by "p" tags, as with the checkin_names.wiki doc, in which case you get no first-line padding. The trunk version of the skin works around this by putting 10px of padding in at the top, which we dialed back out in Inskinerator Modern since the MD renderer does not do this. Put it back, but as 1ex around the whole doc, giving a smidge of breathing room in odd cases like this one without putting too much in for the other cases where the paragraph spacing suffices. check-in: 6185c648 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
19:57
Prior change affects everything measured in ems, which causes the status line at the bottom and the user's login name in the upper right to be too small. check-in: 82db130f user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
19:47
Removed the body font size override for desktop screens, letting the browser take its default, "medium" in CSS-speak. This results in a slight reduction in all font sizes on desktop screens. check-in: ac8bb235 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
19:37
Changed the timeline highlight colors so that the secondary value (used in e.g. /vdiff&to) is a lighter and more saturated version of the primary accent color, being the header font color, and the secondary is a one-eighty hue shift on this. This results in a small color difference for the former, more complementary to the overall skin colors but still a light blue. The primary color — used in /info timelines and for the /vdiff&from cell — is more significantly shifted, a pale orange now rather than a bright yellow. This results from basic color theory; to maintain a yellow under this one-eighty hue rule, we'd have to make the secondary color purple, not blue.

Inskinerator Modern uses that rule to shift all the ancillary colors when you shift one of the primaries, saving the user from having to specify each derived color name manually. Fossil's hard-coded skins don't have that same motivation, and as hard-coded defaults, the old "office highlighter" colors were fine, but once you get down to specific instances, we don't want to use arbitrary color, we want them to be analogous or complementary to the main accent color. check-in: 285defac user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

18:10
Made the same type of improvement for "timelineCurrent" cells in modern view as we did for the primary and secondary selection colors in vdiff range graphs. That is, instead of highlighting the whole row and putting a box shadow below it, change the roundrect itself only. check-in: a8e9f8c4 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

The careful selectors to cause indents to occur only in desired places prevent them from working in less obvious cases like /file URLs or for README files rendered under /dir. Solving this is easy in SCSS, but it creates a combinatorial explosion of selectors in CSS. Fortunately, we can generate the CSS with Inskinerator, then bake a cleaned-up static version of its ouptut into this file. check-in: 30a7c1e2 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
15:32
Replaced many uses of blockquote in the quick start doc with pre, verbatim, etc., where all that was wanted was an indented block of text. These more semantic markup elements are now indented already. check-in: d5de647a user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
15:30
Simplified table styling for the ToC at the top of the Fossil v Git doc to make better use of the new styling. check-in: 5f1caed1 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
15:20
Removed table border overrides in the delta format doc, and replaced misuse of tables as layout tools with pre and verbatim. This is part of the branch only insofar as tables now have visual style, and these things interfere with the new style. check-in: 76f6e9e1 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
15:11
Removed redundant h1 tags in wiki docs, duplicating "title" elements that already display in the skin's header area. They take up vertical space without adding any new information. check-in: 2572e48b user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
15:06
Removed a now-unneeded table border on the stats doc check-in: a9ac6738 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Moved all "margin-left" changes down into the desktop media block to make the hierarchy levels disappear on "mobile" screens. check-in: d00a8867 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
12:31
One of the styles imported from Inskinerator was nested SCSS-style, causing it to have no effect in CSS. This then sparked a study of that section's effect, which made me realize Inskinerator wasn't reapplying the secondary selection color in timeline graphs over a range, as at the top of a /vdiff?from&to page. check-in: 44ea50db user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
12:20
Brought h1 and h2 level sizes down by 90% to make them less shouty. Didn't need to change h3 and below because there was enough of a gap between h2 and h3 to make it unnecessary. This very gap may be taken as proof of the prior problem. check-in: 29c57f24 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Reverted the text size for Pikchr diagrams to the old 0.9em to match hard-coded assumptions in pikchr.c. See the checked-in comment for the alternative solutions considered and rejected. check-in: 39368cdf user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Fixed up final significant known difference with Inskinerator Modern: lightened the background color on selected forum posts. check-in: 5ead5d6d user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Several doc adjustments to make things work better with the new skin. Although this isn't strictly part of the new skin, and it does admit of a type of regression, I'm committing it here anyway because these are cases where markup was used to work around problems in the old skin. Nearly all of these are misuses of the "blockquote" tag to mean "indented paragraph". Now that we have true indented paragraph styles, switched the markup over to use them. check-in: ee6ca48c user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
17:25
Assorted small tweaks to the new skin, catching small over-reaches and such found by opening many of the Fossil docs under it and seeing what happens to the existing formatting. check-in: 538ddbff user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Reworked the two table-based layout hacks in the tech overview doc to use plain tables, styled by the new skin. check-in: eb90acd9 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Prior commit lets us back out [f82b01cb]. check-in: cdbf591b user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
17:03
Major refactoring of the CSS selectors to avoid the need for all that "nomargins" stuff. By being more careful about affecting only the pages and elements we want to affect, we don't have to back changes out in the cases where we _don't_ want things changed. This does make the selectors more verbose, but it's better overall. check-in: 27672761 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Backed out all the extra whitespace in command examples in the gitusers doc now that the skin handles indenting for us. check-in: d3eae187 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

The file format doc now demonstrates good use of the new table styling, no longer depending on local style="" overrides to be readable. check-in: 43793758 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Added zebra-striping to tables. The old method was fine for smaller ones, but as tables get larger, with longer lines, it became difficult to trace which cells went with which row headers. check-in: 37ff33ad user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Collected the "nomargins" handling for forum posts and ticket comments together, then defined a new one-off style to do the same thing on arbitrary blocks. Tested it out on the index.wiki page's sidebar. check-in: d55d9b2a user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Made ticket report table border rounding consistent with MD tables. This requires a change to default.css, which had a conflicting style. If there are other skins where border-collapse mode is desired, this needs to be reapplied within that skin. check-in: 2ba7a7d8 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

20:03
Increased font sizes and whitespace for MD/wiki doc pages, then backed the margins out for forum posts to avoid double-indenting in thread view. This change also restyles tables to be more modern. Although this commit appears somewhat unfocused, it is the core of the Modern skin, difficult to separate out into smaller elements. check-in: 4dbd66ad user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
18:45
Added a bit more space around the content area of pages. check-in: bfe320f9 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Added a bit of vertical space around input controls on the forumedit page so things aren't jammed right up against each other. check-in: 7876ead7 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
18:35
Countering the 0.9em font size for monospace input boxes (forum post, wiki edit, ticket comment…) with 1.0em since these fonts tend to be smaller, and when they're full-width (as with /wikiedit and /fileedit) too many columns gets difficult to read. check-in: 002635cc user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Added Consolas to the list of monospace fonts to try before falling back to generics. check-in: 8ddd2e6b user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
17:53
Add a bit of padding around "verbatim" blocks in wiki markup so they don't need explicit whitespace in the source doc. Also, allow the text in such blocks to wrap if need be, to avoid scrolling wide texts on narrow screens. check-in: edc57800 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
17:38
Collected all the uses of "font-face: monospace" together and gave the browser a long list of suitable options for use here before falling back to that generic default. The list is ordered to give the most readable fonts first. check-in: b7fb568f user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
16:46
First in a series of changes to the default skin to make it look more like Inskinerator Modern without bringing in Inskinerator's dependencies and machinery.

This change increases the body font size for desktop use without affecting mobile. With middle-aged eyes, the old default puts too much text on a line, decreasing readability due to long line lengths, even with browsers no wider than a sheet of office paper. For our definition of "mobile," line lengths are naturally limited to reasonable lengths, and in any case, compromise is the nature of that game. check-in: 2fdfb834 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

Found the same misuse of memcmp() in the "stash" subcommand matcher. check-in: 2a855176 user: wyoung tags: trunk
22:12
ASAN caught a misuse of memcmp when matching the subcommand for "fossil uv". Changed it to strncmp, as used in several other Fossil CLI subcommand matching bits. Since the left-side arg is user-supplied text and we were using its strlen() for the third argument to memcmp(), it allowed arbitrary amounts of overrun. check-in: 182cfa1b user: wyoung tags: trunk
21:54
Improved display in /uvlist: wrapped the file hash in "code" tags to make same-type hashes display at the same width, and added an "Algo" column to identify the hash algorithm for the benefit of those who can't work it out from the length alone. check-in: b1dc17a0 user: wyoung tags: trunk

Removal of the Tcl example in §5.5 of the containers doc left hanging references in the Python example in a few places. check-in: 40e537e9 user: wyoung tags: trunk
22:10
Added §5.6 to the containers doc, "Email Alerts," explaining how to get email alerts out by use of the included tools/email-sender.tcl script and the "write mail to DB" feature since the default option (sendmail -ti) won't work by default and it wouldn't be appropriate to make it work besides. This then obviated the earlier half-baked advice on injecting a Tcl environment into the container; the essential point is adequately made by the Python example, so there is no point trying to rescue this plan. check-in: 616a37f4 user: wyoung tags: trunk

Updated all of "fossil help *-glob" output to refer to the syntax docs instead of repeating the parsing rules in each setting, incorrectly. (If URLs in help output are verboten, then we need to repeat the rules *correctly* in each setting's help.) check-in: 7dc0433b user: wyoung tags: trunk

Added a few named anchors to the globs doc, added a mention of the new empty-dirs handling, and improved the internal MD markup style. check-in: b293b265 user: wyoung tags: trunk

Brought the globs doc back into line with the underlying implementation, and to mention the new treatement of the empty-dirs setting's value. check-in: 2c0b70eb user: wyoung tags: trunk
22:11
Switched the empty-dirs setting handler from a one-off parser to glob_create() both so we get consistent behavior across the settings and because glob_create() allows quoted whitespace, needed when asking it to create directories with spaces in them. Addresses this forum report. check-in: f12609fc user: wyoung tags: trunk
21:32
Updated the function comment on glob_create() to match what it actually does. check-in: c43205d7 user: wyoung tags: trunk
21:27
Replaced a complicated bit of logic with something slighlty less complicated, having the same effect. The glob parser used a mix of second-clause for-loop testing and internal break and continue checks without any other internal processing inside the loop. Combining all of this into a single expression requires the line to wrap (bad for clarity) but it does make clear all of the conditions required for this loop to continue iterating. I think it's a net improvement in clarity, though the margin is admittedly small. Testing shows no regression in functionality, limiting this non-functional change to a style improvement. check-in: b8789239 user: wyoung tags: trunk

Reworked the prior commit's changelog entry to be more accurate and to match preexisting style. check-in: 8ce70b4c user: wyoung tags: trunk
21:00
Fixed a symmetry problem in the vfile.chnged implementation: it had an explicit check for when a file used to be a regular file and was replaced by a symlink pointing to the same content, but it didn't then check for the inverse case. Since the size and hash checks become nonsense when both files aren't of the same type (whether symlinks or regular files) we have to check for this case, too, else the only way to get the "UNLINK" output from "fossil status" required trickery.

See this forum post for a test case and the trick previously needed to get Fossil to report "UNLINK" as a file's change status. check-in: 4cca9033 user: wyoung tags: trunk
