17:36
Added internal link spacer to colordiff doc, without which the #diffutils reference appears to be a no-op. (Comment edit needed to fix Fossil eating the rest of the Vim-edited comment after the "#".) ... (Leaf check-in: fdd8057d user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:35
Fixed a broken link in the new colordiff doc due to being extracted from the gitusers doc. ... (check-in: 44987916 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:33
Explained why we don't leave diff-command unset for the "bat" alternative. ... (check-in: 9fca91e8 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
17:28
Added a new doc distilling all the common methods for getting colorized diffs. Extracted its seed from the gitusers doc in part because it isn't Git-specific, and because there are more options to cover, sufficient to justify a separate doc. ... (check-in: 7c99ebc5 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:19
Indent fix in gitusers.md to make it use a monospace font for nested command examples. ... (check-in: dd8d1a58 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
16:17
The recent gitusers doc improvements allow a better HTML fragment target; the browser's scroll-back includes the new section header now rather than target a paragraph within another section. ... (check-in: 567658a7 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:54
Clarity tweaks to the "Closing a Check-Out" section in the gitusers doc. ... (check-in: 6a4f2d23 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:32
In response to a recent forum thread, added a new section to the gitusers doc, "Fossil Never Auto-Commits". The ideas behind this were previously expressed implicitly, but con-fused with others, resulting in the lack of clarity characteristic of alchemical slag.

Put the new section before "There Is No Staging Area" as that follows on from these ideas, then calved off the subsequent section "Commit Splitting" because it covers related but separate ideas. Together, these three form a conceptual whole that is considerably clearer than the prior presentation. ... (check-in: 5f5452f1 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

13:48
Updated the release date for 2.24 in the changelog, plus a few minor grammar fixes. ... (check-in: 8cb7a744 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2024-03-30
20:48
Removed all references to "Fossil 2.1x" from the docs, excepting the changelog and the hashpolicy doc. The bulk of these were for 2.14 or older — *ten* versions back now! — and there is no reason to suppose such old versions are still in use any more. These notes were justified when they informed users about surprising changes and feature additions, but they now do nothing but clutter the docs. If I am wrong about people being surprised by these things, we still have the changelog, the timeline, and the forum. ... (check-in: ad47a447 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Referenced prior commit's feature in the changelog ... (check-in: 6f532afa user: wyoung tags: trunk)
22:56
Allow rendering of Pikchrs to SVG via /doc/…/foo.pikchr?popup URLs. This allows a file stored in the repo to be referenced as an SVG from other pages. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 758170bc user: wyoung tags: render-pikchr-via-doc-popup)
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: a7255ba5 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: 69959fa5 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: a975ccb7 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: 5ca63acf user: wyoung tags: trunk)

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 colors. This makes the timelines more like that of the Fossil 2.23 and prior default skin (now called Étienne) but with rounded corners in the modern modes, matching the rest of the timeline.

This occurs in all timeline modes, including the classic, compact, and verbose views. The result is that the corners for these selected row types are rounded, but because they tend to be compact, it gives a full-round look on the ends. Avoiding this would require considerably more verbose CSS, and it's plenty intricate as it is. ... (check-in: 9568091a user: wyoung tags: trunk)

01:56
Extended [b272004b] to cover the "classic" timeline mode as well. ... (check-in: ef4a1e81 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: b272004b 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 the list of Fossil attributes belo. ... (check-in: 452726d6 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

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: 11420bbb user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:56
Further improvements to pre styling, now taking MD forum posts into account. ... (check-in: 77f91620 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:46
Merged two redundant style rules for sidebars. Manual merge error? ... (check-in: 825efe96 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: 6b520900 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:26
Removed manual indents in command and file examples in the ssl doc. ... (check-in: 1e0c0d04 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: c2c55014 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
15:18
Removed manual indents in code examples in the pikchr doc ... (check-in: 1ed362da 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: a9742101 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: f19f5369 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
14:59
Centered the Pikchrs in the rebaseharm doc, and replaced an HTML table with the MD equivalent. ... (check-in: 9607f5b4 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: fc2965be user: wyoung tags: trunk)
14:43
Pikchr-ized the ASCII-art breakdown of the URL into CGI vars in the aboutcgi doc. ... (check-in: f4370d80 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: 7268a9b8 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
14:08
Assorted improvements to Pikchr handling in the docs under the new skin. ... (check-in: b3d99d92 user: wyoung tags: trunk)

Removed extra indent in an MD code block. ... (check-in: eedcd150 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
13:27
Removed manual indents in verbatim blocks in forum doc. ... (check-in: 6c9755b9 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: d8e2a3b8 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
13:19
Modernized table-based formatting in delta_encoder_algorithm doc. ... (check-in: 65853cc1 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: d6dff8d7 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
13:08
Fixed another case of extra indenting in the globs doc ... (check-in: ea3925bd 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: 99e6f717 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: b6fa99e8 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: 647dadf2 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:45
Removed manual indents on command examples in the branching doc; the skin does that now. ... (check-in: ccd880e4 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: b1a709a1 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: 4003c654 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: 010e5527 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:15
Comment improvement ... (check-in: 261f80db user: wyoung tags: trunk)
