## Cinera
### Install the dependencies
1. flex (for hmmlib)
2. curl (for 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/`

Note: For each parser update, remember to make and copy it into place.
### Build
1. `$SHELL cinera.c`
### Configure the server
If you enforce a strict Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options in your
server configuration as recommended by [Security
Headers](https://securityheaders.com/), you may enable _Cinera_ to function by
making two small tweaks:
add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src … https://www.youtube.com https://s.ytimg.com";
add_header X-Frame-Options "ALLOW-FROM https://www.youtube.com";
Note: For more information about these and other security headers, see Scott
Helme's articles [Content Security Policy - An Introduction](https://scotthelme.co.uk/content-security-policy-an-introduction/)
and [Hardening your HTTP response headers](https://scotthelme.co.uk/hardening-your-http-response-headers/#x-frame-options).
### 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` (configurable with -o).
#### 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 Asset Root Directory, path shallower than or equal to the CSS, Images and
JS directories
-R Asset Root URL, corresponding to the Root Directory
-c CSS Directory, relative to Root
-i Images Directory, relative to Root
-j JS Directory, relative to Root
-b Output Base Directory, location of the table of contents / search page
-B Output Base URL, corresponding to the Output Base Directory
-t Template Directory
-x Search Template Location, relative to Template Directory
-y Player Template Location, relative to Template Directory
#### Templates
*Search Template*
- `<!-- __CINERA_INCLUDES__ -->` _to put inside your own `<head></head>`_
- `<!-- __CINERA_SEARCH__ -->` _the table of contents and search functionality_
*Player Template*
- `<!-- __CINERA_INCLUDES__ -->` _to put inside your own `<head></head>`_
- `<!-- __CINERA_MENUS__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_PLAYER__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_SCRIPT__ -->` _must come after `<!-- __CINERA_MENUS__ -->` and `<!-- __CINERA_PLAYER__ -->`_
*Optional tags available for use in your Player Template*
- `<!-- __CINERA_TITLE__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_VIDEO_ID__ -->`
*Other tags available for use in either template*
- Asset tags:
- `<!-- __CINERA_ASSET__ path.ext -->`
General purpose tag that outputs the URL of the specified asset
relative to the Asset Root URL (-R)
- `<!-- __CINERA_IMAGE__ path.ext -->`
General purpose tag that outputs the URL of the specified asset
relative to the Images Directory (-i)
- `<!-- __CINERA_CSS__ path.ext -->`
Convenience tag that outputs a <link rel="stylesheet"...> node
for the specified asset relative to the CSS Directory (-c), for
use inside your <head> block
- `<!-- __CINERA_JS__ path.ext -->`
Convenience tag that outputs a <script type="text/javascript"...>
node for the specified asset relative to the JS Directory (-j),
for use wherever a <script> node is valid
The path.ext in these tags supports parent directories to locate the
asset file relative to its specified type directory (generic, CSS, image
or JS), including the "../" directory, and paths containing spaces must
be surrounded with double-quotes (\-escapable if the quoted path itself
contains double-quotes).
All these asset tags additionally perform revving, appending a query
string (-Q) and the file's checksum to the URL. Changes to a file
trigger a rehash and edit of all HTML pages citing this asset.
- `<!-- __CINERA_PROJECT__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_PROJECT_ID__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_THEME__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_URL__ -->` _Only really usable if BaseURL is set (-B)_
- `<!-- __CINERA_CUSTOM0__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_CUSTOM1__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_CUSTOM2__ -->`
- `<!-- __CINERA_CUSTOM15__ -->`
Freeform buffers for small snippets of localised information, e.g. a
single `<a>` element or perhaps a `<!-- comment -->`
They correspond to the custom0 to custom15 attributes in the [video]
node in your .hmml files
0 to 11 may hold up to 255 characters
12 to 15 may hold up to 1023 characters
Feel free to play with templates to your heart's content. If you do anything
invalid, _Cinera_ will tell you what's wrong.

#### Arguments
Usage: ./cinera [option(s)] filename(s)
Options:
Paths: (advisedly universal, but may be set per-(sub)project as required)
-r <assets root directory>
Override default assets root directory (".")
-R <assets root URL>
Override default assets root URL ("")
IMPORTANT: -r and -R must correspond to the same location
UNSUPPORTED: If you move files from RootDir, the RootURL should
correspond to the resulting location

Override default CSS directory (""), relative to root
-i <images directory path>
Override default images directory (""), relative to root
-j <JS directory path>
Override default JS directory (""), relative to root

Override default query string ("r")
To disable revved resources, set an empty string with -Q ""
Project Settings:
-p <project ID>
