2024-02-29
19:48
Removed extra indent in the login groups doc. Not caught earlier because it's buried in the "caps" section. check-in: a7255ba561 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-28
18:16
URL fix in previous; remote path needs to be part of the URL, and we can avoid giving the local clone path by using the new clone-and-open functionality. check-in: 69959fa5b6 user: wyoung tags: trunk
18:10
Extended the sync doc with info about PATH implications of finding the fossil binary on the remote system over ssh: URLs, including formal documentation (for the first time?) of the ?fossil= query parameter. check-in: a975ccb75b user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:52
Added fragment identifiers to the h2 and h3 levels of the sync doc, for referring to individual sections. check-in: 5ca63acf9f user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-23
17:48
Reworked the handling of the three "selected" row cases in /timeline (current, first-in-range and last-in-range) so the borders and highlighting extend to the left margin. The "current" case (seen under "fossil ui" only, to indicate the ckout version) wasn't a problem, but the other two use background colors potentially confusable with branch colo... check-in: 9568091a9b user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:56
Extended [b272004b] to cover the "classic" timeline mode as well. check-in: ef4a1e817f user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:20
Comment cell highlighting in /timeline now takes into account the compact and verbose modes better, and it separates out the rounding from the coloring so it can apply less rounding and a bit more padding in these same two cases, to avoid having the text near the corners crash into the borders. check-in: b272004beb user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-20
14:35
Changed home page title from "Home" to "A Coherent Software Configuration Management System" since docs now show the title in the body area. "Home" in the title area was fine, but now it wants something more explanatory of the page's content.

Moved the list of links on the right up a bit as a result.

Switched the ASCII hyphens to em dashes in th... check-in: 452726d678 user: wyoung tags: trunk

2024-02-18
20:31
Improved appearance of the new CGI URL breakdown Pikchr: colorized it and made use of polygons instead of spindly lines to indicate the parts. check-in: 11420bbbdb user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:56
Further improvements to pre styling, now taking MD forum posts into account. check-in: 77f9162010 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:46
Merged two redundant style rules for sidebars. Manual merge error? check-in: 825efe96d2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:35
Removed horizontal rules in backup doc used to offset the bigger code blocks. Between the new light-gray background and the indents, they're adding noise more than helping break the page up. check-in: 6b520900c9 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:29 Edit [a974210166464b59|a974210166]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: fa513eb7cd user: wyoung
15:26
Removed manual indents in command and file examples in the ssl doc. check-in: 1e0c0d0414 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:24
Replaced use of inline "###" MD markup in the customgraph doc with simple boldfacing to avoid the indents given to all h3 now. Besides, headers inside lists…? Dodgy. check-in: c2c55014b0 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:18
Removed manual indents in code examples in the pikchr doc check-in: 1ed362da63 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:17
Removed manual indents of code blocks in webui doc check-in: 9437518451 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:15
Replaced use of MD blockquotes for command examples with MD code blocks. check-in: 006b61b0e5 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:10
The new skin's table styling now applies to docs served via /dir and /file URLs as well. Applying the new light-gray background styling on code blocks now, not just inline snippets. Lightened the gray level. check-in: a974210166 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:03
Replaced blockquote-formatted commands in ssl-server doc with indented code blocks for consistency with the other docs. check-in: f19f5369f9 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:59
Centered the Pikchrs in the rebaseharm doc, and replaced an HTML table with the MD equivalent. check-in: 9607f5b4e4 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:45
Replaced a use of local formatting for a code example in the aboutdownload doc with generic verbatim formatting. check-in: fc2965be40 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:43
Pikchr-ized the ASCII-art breakdown of the URL into CGI vars in the aboutcgi doc. check-in: f4370d80e8 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:12
Replaced an HTML table in the hashes doc with the MD equivalent. This not only makes the markup version easier to read, it allows the skin's table styling to take full effect. check-in: 7268a9b851 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:08
Assorted improvements to Pikchr handling in the docs under the new skin. check-in: b3d99d9260 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:28
Removed extra indent in an MD code block. check-in: eedcd15040 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:27
Removed manual indents in verbatim blocks in forum doc. check-in: 6c9755b9a6 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:25
The skin's new "indent" class for block elements doesn't apply to "p" tags due to CSS cascading rules. Changed them to divs to sidestep this limitation. Also fixed another instance of bold formatting interfering with abutting italics. check-in: d8e2a3b874 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:19
Modernized table-based formatting in delta_encoder_algorithm doc. check-in: 65853cc1e4 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:15
The chat doc was using blockquote MD markup for code examples, making them look different from all the others. check-in: d6dff8d714 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:08
Fixed another case of extra indenting in the globs doc check-in: ea3925bdc1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:06
Style tweak in the embedded doc: italic next to bold causes the slanted letters to crash into the surrounding bold text. Bold-italic solves that. check-in: 99e6f717bf user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:04
Fixed a 5-space indent in one of the customskin doc's examples with MD's 4-space minimum to avoid extra indent. check-in: b6fa99e8ce user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:01
Replaced local "tt" formatting of command examples in the contribute doc with generic pre so that it is styled uniformly by the skin. check-in: 647dadf2be user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:45
Removed manual indents on command examples in the branching doc; the skin does that now. check-in: ccd880e435 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:43
Merged another redundant page title in the whyusefossil doc. Also, making use of the new h5 level formatting to avoid the need for inline manual boldfacing. check-in: b1a709a1a4 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:34
Replaced a few more bits of local formatting in the adding_code doc with generic "verbatim" blocks, uniformly styled by the skin. check-in: 4003c654b6 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:31
Consolidated the dual titles in the tech_overview doc into one; the new body-area h1 tag for docs makes the old styling redundant. check-in: 010e5527ce user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:15
Comment improvement check-in: 261f80db5e user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:04
The inline "code" snippet styling in [4772a9b2] now applies to MD forum posts. check-in: 32c4522d73 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-17
19:09
Proposed changes to the home page, mainly to work better with the new skin, but also a bit of a branding touch-up. Closed-Leaf check-in: b85779e491 user: wyoung tags: new-home-page-title
18:24
The h1 handling change in [b1f6753c] left a few definitions behind. Fixed. check-in: 06a70ff867 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:33
The increased line-height CSS for "code" blocks is now reflected into the line number column in /file?ln views, keeping the two in sync. check-in: d745752649 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:14
Superior alternative to [e4aca28d1c3f5e8d]: instead of trying to treat the title on pages like /chat specially, treating the four main doc types specially, turning the body-area h1 on only in that case. This restores the Étienne skin's behavior for all other page types. check-in: b1f6753c67 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-11
13:23
Updated the customskin doc to cover the new WCAG semantic header/footer tagging, and to give advice on migrating from earlier versions, where custom skinning would have copy-pasted the old way of doing things. Linking to this advice from the changes doc for the benefit of those those paying attention to the change log. check-in: b3f449e85b user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:45
Removed the body-area h1 from the /chat message-area size calculation now that it's being suppressed in CSS. This should be a net zero now. check-in: e4aca28d1c user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:46
Suppressing the body-area "Chat" header on mobile. It takes up space to no useful end. check-in: c0541318aa user: wyoung tags: trunk
10:56
Merged two near-identical lists of CSS selectors in the /chat JS into one. As far as I can tell, they _are_ supposed to be identical, since they're both concerned with calculating the "framing" elements of the chat area, being everything other than the list of messages. It looks like they slipped out of that ideal in the way duplicated code does. check-in: 1cf4a7d728 user: wyoung tags: trunk
10:27
Grammar fix in "Left-align my posts" /chat setting hint check-in: aca0be1659 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2024-02-10
23:15
Applied semantic header and footer tag changes made to the default skin to all the others. This not only improves WCAG 2 conformance, it's necessary to allow the prior commit's changes to the /chat JS to find the equivalent header/footer/mainmenu/hbdrop tags in these skins, too. check-in: 8f344297a4 user: wyoung tags: trunk
22:12
Fixes to /chat's js to allow for the new skin changes. (Mea culpa; didn't even think to try /chat while working on all this.) check-in: 4dc8798583 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:36
Modernized the default skin, primarily to improve readability, and forked off the old default as "Étienne", named in honor of its creator. check-in: 8a1ba49b73 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:29
Removed redundant sidebar styling; should've been done as part of [bcbd1c1e]. Closed-Leaf check-in: 8aff48548a user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
12:26
Removed a bunch of manual indents in pre blocks, MD fenced code blocks, etc. The skin does that for us now. check-in: 2a7b1de356 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
11:20
Whitespace fix check-in: 2ccdfa417a user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
11:02
Applied a few whitespace fixes to etienne/css.txt matching those in default/css.txt, to make the diff between them easier to read. check-in: ce479eea4c user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
11:00
Comment fix check-in: 67a10cd7ee user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
10:56
Restored the page title font size to the old default when it's up above the menu bar. Lost this in all the font size shuffling, seen now in comparison to what we're now calling skin=etienne. check-in: c013926f01 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
10:28
Copied table formatting over to Étienne skin, but in monochrome form and without any of the extra whitespace in the default version. check-in: f6897ff2bc user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
10:20
Moved most of the sidebar implementation up into default.css in a generic form so all skins share it, including Étienne. What remains behind in the new default skin are the accent colors for the background and the left border. The generic form simply applies a tint darkening to whatever background it finds itself on, which works for most of the ... check-in: bcbd1c1e90 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
10:17
Applied Vim filetype modeline to the new Étienne skin so we don't lose syntax highlighting when bouncing between this and default. check-in: 89ceba160c user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
09:54
Initial fork of the trunk default skin into "Étienne" (a.k.a. "etienne" without the accent for easier use in ?skin=" and such) for use by those who want to return to the old default once this branch is merged to trunk.

At the moment, it is a straight copy with the intent of forming a baseline for the minimal changes I'm about to make in order to ... check-in: 7d8631f17c user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport

09:30
Added branch change summary to changes doc. check-in: d08e47ce05 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
09:22
Sidebars now float to the right of the main content when there's space to allow both. This doesn't wholly invalidate [c062e330], but this is a better overall solution. check-in: 265412ee5a user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
09:15
Applied pre-wrap styling to the command example at the top of the checkin names doc to keep it from crashing into the Quick Reference sidebar on mobile. check-in: c062e330cc user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
09:01 Edit [b48e48366762d32a|b48e483667]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: 5fede6f793 user: wyoung
08:55
Applied the header and footer improvements from the wcag-2.1 branch. Changes generic divs with class labels into semantic elements that a browser can then treat specially, given their meaning. check-in: b48e483667 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:44
Collected two wiki-related CSS items to keep the diff relative to trunk smaller. check-in: 58fa5819f5 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:33
Whitespace fixes, for clarity check-in: 235aaa02cf user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:29
Moved the bit applying extra line height to paragraph-type elements into the "@media screen" section. The justification for this only applies to wide browser windows. It's too much leading for smartphones. check-in: db87ded184 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:45
Removed a stray semicolon check-in: 228626bc91 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:40
Added kbd, samp and var element selectors to the list getting monospace treatment in the default.css file. check-in: a76312cdb4 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:37
Restored the #444 text color for headers, since bold and big text doesn't have the same need for high contrast ratios to be readable. check-in: a3903958de user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:36 Edit [2267249c6da78575|2267249c6d]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: 214d6bacb2 user: wyoung
05:18
Deepened the dark gray body text color enough to allow us to simultaneously hit the two targets specified by the WCAG 2 accessibility standard: the 4.5:1 minimum contrast ratio between the background and the link, and the 3:1 ratio between the link and the surrounding body text. We've been [forum:/forumpost/aafb17a981df416 | called out on acce... check-in: 2267249c6d user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
04:42
Extended [4772a9b2ccbb4c3c] to include less-common inline monospace tag types: var, samp, and kbd. Because this creates a nice and big combinatorial selector explosion, moved the explanation for this type of thing up from the "@media screen" handling of pre to this point, then referenced it from these places. Switched from SCSS to Sass syntax to ... check-in: cb038b48c0 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
2024-02-09
08:34 Edit [17a6417606c570ff|17a6417606]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: ee6be79611 user: wyoung
08:25
Increased the brightness of unvisited links to bring their contrast up relative to body text above the 3:1 recommended by the WebAIM link contrast checker. This unavoidably drops the contrast with the background from around 4:1 to 3:1, but if links are kept short (ideally, one word only) th... check-in: 17a6417606 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
08:16
Replaced static pale blue background for selected forum posts with a CSS animation that fades the default.css blue out to white over a second after page load. Also made the left border of the forumSel post's box heavy to serve as an after-animation selection indicator. check-in: 9df0a451a0 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
03:09
Simplified the style overrides on the fossil-v-git doc's ToC table to give the browser more layout freedom, preventing it from being clipped off on the right edge on smaller mobile devices. check-in: ca973301e2 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:52
Removed extra whitespace in command examples in fossil-v-git doc. Skin does that now. check-in: b368727904 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:30
Backed off on mobile body font size reduction from 0.8em to 0.9em for the same reason we did it for desktop. check-in: 3e23092003 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:29
Experimental styling of inline code and tt blocks in user content like everyone else (Stack Exchange, GitHub, Reddit, Discord…) do, with a light gray background and slight expansion of the box area, to offset it from the prose. check-in: 4772a9b2cc user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:13
Abandoned the +5% size bump for monospace fonts entirely. Its correctness is far too contingent on the font selected and the browser's quirks. check-in: 9f3e59cffc user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:36
Reduced the font size adjustment for monospace fonts from +10% to +5% after testing on mobile, and made it apply to the same list of monospace font classes defined in src/default.css. check-in: e220683ae0 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:19
Simplified the SCSS example code by use of the language's "&" feature and an extra layer to handle the .content commonality. check-in: 6ad8bc587f user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:18
Dropped the div.content layer out for /fileedit and /wikiedit. If it were necessary, we'd have to invert these two, but it isn't due to the earlier point about these selectors being plenty specific via direct ID element targeting. check-in: 3f21415f41 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:00
Don't need to be as specific on the selectors targeting the /fileedit and /wikiedit preview tabs due to their use of "<div id=" naming. There is no reasonable possibility for an overreach here. check-in: 902ea745fa user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
00:17
Merged pikchr changes from trunk. (About to rebuild the containers, and we need both sets of changes on the public demo mirror.) check-in: e471c5ffa9 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
00:15
Small tweak to make comment match code check-in: fb0c1e7125 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
00:12
The /fileedit and /wikiedit preview areas now show the skin's @media screen indent levels properly. The nine selectors we previously had per top-level tag had to become _sixteen_ (!) owing to Fossil's historical lack of consistency in applying parent classes. We could clean it all up on this branch, but then who knows how many custom skins that w... check-in: 0d7cdbb0e3 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
2024-02-08
22:38
Removed the duplicate copy of the SCSS input to the selector explosion in default/css.txt. It's getting too complex to maintain the duplication, and it's about to get worse. Linking it by reference now. check-in: f5a80cad6c user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
22:18
Added yet another special-case handler for the new skin's @media screen indent applicator. We were handling wiki embedded docs before, but we weren't handling the /wiki pages themselves. These appear with a top-level body class of "wiki", not "doc". check-in: a1ebcb230a user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
20:35
Merged trunk changes in check-in: 9a9276d693 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
2024-02-04
05:52
Applied the new div class=sidebar styling to a few more cases in the docs. check-in: 701ea4d004 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:43
Removed extra indent level from the release doc link in the permuted index, generated by the mkindex.tcl script. check-in: 01764fea86 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:27
Moved the page title on mobile from after the project name and the slash separator in the header to just above the content area, styled as a separate "h1" element, same as in an embedded doc with an "h1" inline. This accommodates long page titles better on narrow screens while leaving desktop-class windows alone. Reduced the size of h1 to be close... check-in: f2ef252ef8 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
05:06
Triumphant return of the logo in the title area, lost in the transition from "original" to the trunk default skin. check-in: 45b0550160 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
04:50
Bumped submenu font size up slightly. This isn't so much a change from trunk as a restoration of trunk, tracking the overall body font size changes. check-in: 1b20533368 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
04:42
Added three new block-element classes to the skin to replace use of "blockquote" with semantic alternatives:
  • "indent" for cases where the only purpose was to indent things
  • "blockquote" where you want an actual block quote in a wiki doc and thus can't use a "blockquote" element due to the historical misuse of this tag, preventin...
check-in: 56c7c2cb13 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
04:32 Edit [54977e1413a6d597|54977e1413]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: 281e60ca2e user: wyoung
04:29
Replaced nearly all explicit uses of the "blockquote" tag in the embedded docs:
  • Constructs like "<blockquote><pre>" are now simply "<pre>"
  • Ditto "<blockquote><b>" for command examples, which then allowed me to get rid of explicit "br" elements; pre does that for us.
  • Where it was used me...
check-in: 54977e1413 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
04:01
Small cosmetic tweaks to the mirrortogithub doc on this branch to work better with the skin. check-in: cabbf1ca54 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
03:59
Merged backslash fix in from trunk check-in: d9debe90ab user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
03:58
Use of a trailing backslash in a command example in the mirrortogithub doc wasn't rendering as expected, leading the command to be split in the HTML rendering, not continued across multiple lines as intended. Replaced it with an HTML named entity to sidestep this quirk of the MD renderer. check-in: 221cf52bf5 user: wyoung tags: trunk
02:57
Removed a bunch of explicit blockquote tags in the encryptedrepos doc which were essentially duplicating the hierarchical indent structure now implemented by this branch's skin changes. This is why we want to do this at the skin level: so all pages get this appearance, avoiding the need for manual formatting on each page. check-in: 01e364c6f1 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:53
Replaced use of an explicit "blockquote" tag in an MD doc with a leading ">". It's not only simpler markup, it generates slightly different HTML output, leading to better formatting under this skin. check-in: 9f71793cdf user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:39
Reworked the remaining custom CSS in the server index doc to cascade properly with the new table styling in the skin. check-in: d3c55b57f1 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
02:35
Removed explicit CSS at the top of the server index doc. In some ways, this was a prototype of this branch's skin changes, with the result that we were getting double-indents, one from the skin and one from the local additions meant to give hanging headers to the current trunk default skin. check-in: 3291f68fe3 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
01:30
Removed extra space around pre.verbatim blocks in wiki output; plain "pre" has space already, and the extra means that if you use them both on the same page, you see the difference. check-in: 06dfb68302 user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
2024-02-03
23:39
Removed table styling overrides once more for the checkin_names doc's Quick Reference table. Prior backout commit reverted that. check-in: 2da64ba4ac user: wyoung tags: inskinerator-modern-backport
