This Space for Rent

New Code!

Discount is now up to version 2.1.0 with a small collection of minor bugfixes and feature enhancements, to the tune of;

  1. modifications to configure.sh so that it generates all the test scripts in the build directory (not in /tmp, which can be mounted with funky options on some commercial systems.)
  2. more MacOS support in configure.sh; check to see if .dSYM folders are created when a test script is compiled, and, if so, don’t forget to delete them when they’re cleaned up.
  3. makepage now accepts markdown option flags a'la the markdown program (via -Fxxxx, -fname, or in the MARKDOWN_FLAGS environment variable.)
  4. strip bitfields out of opts[] – I can’t initialize a bitfield on plan9 cc.
  5. add a -E flag to theme to disable context-sensitivity on <?theme xxx?> substitutions.

None of these changes actually modify the markdown compiler itself; instead they just make it easier to build and pass options into various accessory programs. So it’s actually not very likely that you will make your computer explode if you install it, so if you rush right on out and install this New Code! it is not likely to do much other than make your markdowning life easier.
