## cinera

### Download, and prepare the parser

1. `git clone git@gitssh.handmade.network:Annotation-Pushers/Annotation-System.git`
2. `cd Annotation-System/hmmlib`
3. `make`
4. `cp hmml.a hmmlib.h ../cinera/`
5. `cd ../cinera/`

Note: For each parser update, remember to make and copy it into place

### Build

1. `zsh cinera.c` (replacing zsh with your shell as appropriate)

### Run

#### Single Edition operation

    cinera test.hmml

This simply generates an HTML file (and updates `cinera_topics.css` if needed)
from `test.hmml` and outputs to `out.html`

#### Project Edition operation

    cinera -p ProjectID

Setting the ProjectID with the `-p` flag triggers Project Edition. In this
edition `cinera` monitors the Project Input Directory for new, edited and
deleted .hmml files, and generates one table of contents / search page and a
player page each for valid sets of annotations (or removes them, if needed).

By default all directories - input and output - are set to the current working
directory. Typical operation will involve setting these flags:

    -d Project Input Directory, the directory where the .hmml files reside
    -r Root Directory, path shallower than or equal to the CSS, Images and JS
       directories
    -u Root URL, corresponding to the Root Directory (optional if the Output
       Base Directory resides in the Root Directory)
    -b Output Base Directory, location of the table of contents / search page
	-t Player Template Location
	-x Index Template Location

#### Integration

    CINERA_MODE=INTEGRATE cinera test.hmml

This will integrate into `template_player.html` (configurable with -t) the
player and related elements generated from `test.hmml` and output to
`out_integrated.html`

Feel free to play with `template_player.html` to your heart's content. If you do
anything invalid, `cinera` will tell you what's wrong

#### Templates

Valid tags:

- `<!-- __CINERA_TITLE__ -->` _the day / episode name, intended to be used
  inside your own `<title>` element, but may be used wherever and as many times
  as you want on your page_

*Index Template*
- `<!-- __CINERA_INCLUDES__ -->` _the necessary `.css` and `.js` files_
- `<!-- __CINERA_INDEX__ -->` _the table of contents, and search functionality_

*Player Template*
- `<!-- __CINERA_INCLUDES__ -->` _the necessary `.css` and `.js` files, and charset setting_
- `<!-- __CINERA_MENUS__ -->` _ _the menu bar that typically appears above the player in my samples_
- `<!-- __CINERA_PLAYER__ -->` _the player_
- `<!-- __CINERA_SCRIPT__ -->` _the filter state objects and `.js` file, which must come after both the MENUS and PLAYER tags_
