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
