02:32.21 brlcad maths22: what are the image references (wp theme)? looks like the images are just the ones from the mock-up
02:32.42 brlcad if it's actually got the filepath, should work to just strip localhost

02:58.39 maths22 starseeker: you can't edit it beacuse it is reopened
02:59.03 starseeker it needs to go then - it's obsolete
02:59.54 maths22 hopefully brlcad can delete it them
03:01.35 maths22 by the way, what do you think of the newly formatted HACKING?
03:01.56 starseeker wish I understood better why we see those extra A characters in our Docbook html output
03:02.12 starseeker looks awesome
03:02.34 maths22 Encoding issues
03:02.51 maths22 the file is utf-8, but the browser does not see it that way
03:03.01 brlcad starseeker: tasks that have been claimed cannot be edited
03:03.20 starseeker not even after they're reopened?
03:03.22 starseeker bummer
03:03.23 brlcad maths22: the e-mail posted as a comment
03:04.01 brlcad starseeker: yeah, there's a feature request to make them editable if no work has been submitted that was accepted, but wasn't implemented before GCI began
03:04.11 starseeker maths22: would be nice if we could figure out a reliable way to properly identify our files to browsers - do you happen to know any tricks for that?
03:04.15 brlcad it can be deleted or clarified in a comment
03:04.26 starseeker should probably delete it
03:04.36 starseeker we've got several other tasks for the next stage now
03:05.05 brlcad deleted
03:05.06 maths22 starseeker: it needs a meta tag; not sure how to add it
03:05.17 starseeker brlcad: thanks
03:06.19 brlcad published the one pending
03:06.24 maths22 brlcad: ok (i must not have looked carefully enough)

03:19.24 starseeker maths22: to be sure I understand - what is this patch doing? removing programlisting wrappings?
03:19.41 maths22 It fixed a validation error (too many tablebody s)
03:19.57 maths22 It made each appendix 1 programlisting
03:20.02 starseeker ok
03:20.26 maths22 and it removed extra whitespace at the end of prgramlisting s
03:20.35 starseeker let me try it quick
03:21.02 maths22 OK. The images would be a good task for those other docbook ones
03:21.24 starseeker which images?
03:21.42 starseeker oh, you mean the sizing?
03:22.07 maths22 yes. they also need the separate pdf and html elements

03:23.29 maths22 I should think so
03:24.16 starseeker brlcad: is that a suitable task (apply the script to HACKING?)
03:24.46 maths22 otherwise it could be combined with sizing
03:25.14 starseeker maths22: it might be worth a task because you have to manually correct the output of the script for special characters
03:25.36 starseeker python seems to output the actual unicode characters instead of the DocBook ASCII specification
03:25.56 starseeker for a big document like HACKING that could be a bit of work...

03:31.46 maths22 Yes (I use the server to do it)
03:31.52 maths22 Why?
03:32.16 starseeker that's what the next DocBook tasks will need, if you're interested in more DocBook stuff :-)
03:32.24 maths22 Aha
03:32.29 maths22 !
03:32.43 maths22 Next i'm going to compile with GCC trunk

21:29.35 maths22 What do people think of: https://github.com/noporpoise/sort_r
21:29.58 maths22 For a platform independent re-entrant sort (I obvously would not submit it for the task)
21:37.10 maths22 starseeker: for these tasks (http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2013/5229719012245504) how is good pdf formatting defined?
21:37.18 maths22 what is a good size?
21:38.27 jschulte maths22: this task has been done already, it was accidentally created a second time
21:39.17 maths22 Ok. Good thing I was planning to instead do the documentation one :)
21:43.33 *** part/#brlcad caen23 (~caen23@92.83.172.48)
22:25.40 starseeker maths22: basically, you're sizing the images so they look "good" in the PDF output
22:26.12 starseeker not super-huge compared to the page size (the typical problem) and not so small as to be unclear
22:27.21 starseeker maths22: if you look at our lesson files, for example, my recollection is you'll see a large number of images that just have crazy sizing for a PDF
22:29.28 maths22 Ok
22:29.31 maths22 thanks
