The -<i>scruffy</i> markup is inspired from -<a href="http://moinmo.in/HelpOnMoinWikiSyntax">MoinMoin's markup</a>. -</p> - -<p> -To learn about the syntax and details about the <i>scruffy</i> markup, -take a look at the <a href="./scruffy-markup.html">documentation page</a> of -<i>scruffy</i> markup. -</p> - -<h2> how scruf works </h2> - -<p> -The way scruf works is darn straightforward. You give it a directory -and it recursively checks for <i>scruffy</i> marked up files and converts -them into valid HTML5. -</p> - -<p> -In each directory that contains <i>scruffy</i> marked up files, scruf -automatically creates an <span class="monospace">index.scruffy</span> file and a corresponding -<span class="monospace">index.html</span>,to which it appends links to all the HTML5 files that it -has converted. -</p> - -<p> -scruf provides its own style sheet which is placed in each directory -that has HTML5 files produced by scruf. -</p> - -<h2> using scruf </h2> - -<p> -At present, scruf is cursed to only run on GNU/Linux based operating -systems. -</p> - -<p> -scruf is written in Java, therefore, there is a strong possibility -that it could work out of the box in Windows, Mac, etc. But, be aware -that it was never tested in platforms other than GNU/Linux, so there -is no assurance that it <i>will</i> work as it should on other platforms. -</p> - -<p> -To be able to use scruf, the <span class="monospace">openjdk</span> package is required, in order to -compile and run scruf. -</p> - -<h3> installing the jdk </h3> - -<p> -On a <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> GNU/Linux based system, the JDK -can be installed with: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> # apt-get update<br /> # apt-get install default-jdk<br /></div> - -<p> -If the above <span class="monospace">install</span> command does not work, do: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> # apt-cache search jdk <br /></div> - -<p> -to find the appropriate package name for the JDK and then install the -package with: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> # apt-get install appropriate-package-name<br /></div> - -<p> -For installing the JDK on other GNU/Linux systems, take a look at -openjdk's <a href="http://openjdk.java.net/">homepage</a> for more information. -</p> - -<h3> compiling scruf </h3> - -<p> -You must compile scruf's source files, before it can be run to eat -your <i>scruffy</i> marked up files. -</p> - -<p> -Extract the tar archive and <span class="monospace">cd</span> to scruf's territory: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> $ tar -xvzf scruf-X.X.X.tar.gz<br /> $ cd scruf-X.X.X/<br /></div> - -<p> -The 'X's represent the version number of the scruf package. -</p> - -<p> -The compilation procedure is arduous at present, it will be made -simpler and nicer in the future to come. -</p> - -<p> -Here's how the source is compiled at present: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> $ javac scruf/*.java<br /> $ javac scruf/*/*.java<br /> $ javac scruf/*/*/*.java<br /></div> - -<p> -By now, scruf is cooked and read to be exploited by your sweet -hands. -</p> - -<h3> convert <i>scruffy</i> files to HTML5 </h3> - -<p> -To convert <i>scruffy</i> marked up files, <span class="monospace">cd</span> to the directory where -scruf is: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> $ cd /path/to/scruf-X.X.X/<br /></div> - -<p> -and do: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> $ java scruf.Run /path/to/scruffy-files-directory/<br /></div> - -<p> -scruf will convert the <i>scruffy</i> marked up files and place the -generated HTML5 files in the same directory where the <i>scruffy</i> -marked up files reside. -</p> - -<p> -The HTML5 files, generated by scruf, <u>must not</u> be manually edited, -if you wish to edit a HTML5 file, edit the corresponding <i>scruffy</i> marked -up file and generate the HTML5 files again by doing: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> $ java scruf.Run<br /></div> - -<p> -As is seen above, it is not required to give the path to the <i>scruffy</i> -files directory every time. scruf is intelligent enough to remember -the directory. So from the second time on, it is just enough to run -the program. -</p> - -<p> -When a directory is given to scruf, when it is invoked: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> $ java scruf.Run /path/to/directory<br /></div> - -<p> -It stores the absolute path of the directory in <span class="monospace">~/.scruf/list</span>. -</p> - -<p> -Every time, scruf is run: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br /> $ java scruf.Run<br /></div> - -<p> -it checks all the directories is the <span class="monospace">list</span> for new/modified <i>scruffy</i> -marked up files and converts them into HTML5. -</p> - -<h3> ignoring directories </h3> - -<p> -As previously mentioned, scruf recursively checks the given directory -to find <i>scruffy</i> marked up files. There will be times when it doesn't -make sense to let scruf loiter in sub-directories. It is possible to -tell scruf to ignore the respective sub-directories. -</p> - -<p> -To do this, create a <span class="monospace">.ignored</span> file in the respective directory and -list all the sub-directories that has to be ignored. The -sub-directories listed in <span class="monospace">.ignored</span> should be line seperated. -</p> - -<p> -For instance, if <span class="monospace">audio/</span>, <span class="monospace">video/</span>, <span class="monospace">images/</span> are the -sub-directories, that are to be ignored by scruf in the respective -directory. The <span class="monospace">.ignore</span> file, in this case, will look like this: -</p> - -<div class="code"><br />audio/<br />video/<br />images/<br /></div> - -<h2> Cascading Style Sheets(CSS) </h2> - -<p> -scruf places <span class="monospace">style.css</span> in each directory in which it finds a <i>scruffy</i> -marked up file. Feel free to edit & modify the style sheet. but please -remember not to change/remove the <u>names</u> of <span class="monospace">classes</span>, it may -mess up the formatting of all the HTML5 files that are dependent on the -style sheet. -</p> - -<p> -The <a href="./style.css">style.css</a> is valid CSS3. -</p> - -<h2> have problems? </h2> - -<p> -If there are/is any issue(s) with using scruf or understanding how it -works.
