## 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

### Install Dependencies

1. curl

### Build

1. `$SHELL cinera.c`

### 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
    -R Root URL, corresponding to the Root Directory (optional if the Output
       Base Directory resides in 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 Index Template Location, relative to Template Directory
    -y Player Template Location, relative to Template Directory

#### Templates

*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_

*Optional tags available for use in your Player Template*
- `<!-- __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_
- `<!-- __CINERA_VIDEO_ID__ -->` _the unique identifer of the video as provided
  by the VoD platform_

*Other available tags*
- `<!-- __CINERA_PROJECT__ -->` _the full name of the project_
- `<!-- __CINERA_URL__ -->` _the URL where we have derived the page will be
  publically accessibly, 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)

                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
