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
-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_PROJECT__ --> the project's full name
• <!-- __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
