FIRST MAJOR PATCH AND QOL IMPROVEMENTS
The main shinobi script has received its first external patch!
It's getting just past 10PM on this stormy Sunday night, but I have an
urge to share this post now instead of waiting for next week.
Afterwards I'll be going to bed before the start of a new week.
If you've been following along, you might have noticed a pretty solid
patch has been added to the core shinobi script project:
https://git.sr.ht/~tdarb/shinobi-script
Special shout out to Matthew Graybosch[0] for putting together these
improvements and working towards a more consistent experience across
all RSS readers.
THE CHANGES AT A GLANCE
-----------------------
In a nutshell:
- text inside the CDATA tag is now wrapped with <pre> tags
- <pre> tag has inline CSS to specify reasonable wrapping
- tail command to retrieve post text now pipes into sed to escape HTML
tags.
- added test posts
- added makefile for local testing
Please take a look at the changes directly in the official patch
notes[1]. Take notice of some of the new folders/files included with
the default project. You'll also see updated instructions in the README
to help with testing and local development.
QUALITY OF LIFE
---------------
In addition to the first major patch, I've included basic styling to
properly render the RSS feed directory in supported browsers. To see it
in action, simply check out:
https://shinobi.website/feed.xml
The styles are included in the new `rss.css` file of the shinobi
project. The current layout is taken from Len Falken's main
directory[2]. Feel free to change this to however you see fit! I've
kept them consistent with the remainder of the project, but there is
nothing stopping you from including things like XSLT.
To reflect these changes, I've updated some of the details found in the
original "SIMPLE GUIDE FOR CREATING YOUR OWN SHINOBI.WEBSITE"[3]
TESTING, TESTING, TESTING
-------------------------
I'm trying my best to test every RSS reader available to me. My main
machine is running macOS and my phone iOS, thus making me somewhat
limited in my access to other OS-specific RSS applications. Even still,
I've added a growing list to the project README documenting readers
that have been tested, along with their support "grade". Feel free to
include your own testing in tickets or patches on your own!
That is really all there is to say. Enjoy your week!
