Re: Deciphering Patches from http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-patches

vin> All those "&lt;", "&gt;", and "&quot;" need to be vin> untranslated in order to apply the patch. But since the vin> whole thing is bound between a <PRE> - </PRE> pair, those vin> htmlizations are not necessary, right? The PRE element is still parsed, it just respects whitespace and forbids certain other elements. vin> 1. Can we fix whatever it is that makes the vin> list-archive.xemacs.org entries so that it doesn't htmlize vin> the actual patches? Not easily. Currently the headers are parsed and made mousable, references are added, and the entire body is simply enclosed in a PRE element. I'm not sure how attachments are handled, but most patches are not submitted as attachments. vin> 2. Is there an easy way to un-htmlize a file? PSGML probably has an `html-unquote' function or something like that. You could also suck down the monthly archives, they're about 3MB each on average. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
