   7 <b>A make·file for X·M·L.</b>
 
   9 <dfn>⛩️📰 书社</dfn> aims to make it easy to generate websites with
 
  10   X·S·L·T and G·N·U Make.
 
  11 It is consequently only a good choice for people who like X·S·L·T and
 
  12   G·N·U Make and wish it were easier to make websites with them.
 
  14 It makes things easier by :—
 
  16 - Automatically identifying source files and characterizing them by
 
  17     type (X·M·L, text, or asset).
 
  19 - Parsing supported text types into X·M·L trees.
 
  21 - Enabling easy inclusion of source files within each other.
 
  23 It aims to do this with zero dependencies beyond the programs already
 
  24   installed on your computer.
 
  25 (On Linux machines, you may need to install `libxml2-utils` to get the
 
  26   commandline programs from `libxml2`.)
 
  29 ⛩️📰 书社 requires functionality present in G·N·U Make 3.81 (or later)
 
  30   and will not work in previous versions, or other implementations of
 
  32 Compatibility with later versions of G·N·U Make is assumed, but not
 
  37 <i lang="cmn-Hans">书社</i> is a Chinese word meaning “publishing
 
  40 The first character, <i lang="cmn-Hans">书</i>, is the simplified form
 
  43 The second character, <i lang="cmn-Hans">社</i>, contemporarily means
 
  44   “association”, but historically referred to the god of the soil and
 
  45   related altars or festivities.
 
  46 In Japanese, it is an alternate spelling for <i lang="ja">やしろ</i>,
 
  47   the word for “Shinto shrine”.
 
  49 The name <i lang="cmn-Hans">书社</i> was chosen to play on this pun, as
 
  50   it is intended as a publishing program for webshrines.
 
  52 In Ascii environments, ⛩️📰 书社 should be written `Shushe`, following
 
  53   the pinyin transliteration.
 
  57 Place source files in `sources/` and run `make install` to compile
 
  58   the result to `public/`.
 
  59 Compilation involves the following steps :—
 
  61 1. ⛩️📰 书社 compiles all of the magic files in `magic/` into a single
 
  62     file, `build/magic.mgc`.
 
  64 2. ⛩️📰 书社 processes all of the parsers in `parsers/` and determines
 
  65     the list of supported plaintext types.
 
  67 3. ⛩️📰 书社 identifies all of the source files and includes and uses
 
  68     `build/magic.mgc` to classify them by media type.
 
  70 4. ⛩️📰 书社 parses all plaintext and X·M·L source files and includes
 
  71     and then builds a dependency tree between them.
 
  73 5. ⛩️📰 书社 uses the dependency tree to establish prerequisites for
 
  76 6. ⛩️📰 书社 compiles each output file to `build/result`.
 
  78 7. ⛩️📰 书社 copies most output files from `build/result` to
 
  79      `build/public`, but it does some additional processing instead on
 
  80      those which indicate a non‐X·M·L desired final output form.
 
  82 8. ⛩️📰 书社 copies the final resulting files to `public`.
 
  84 You can use `make list` to list each identified source file or include
 
  85   alongside its computed type and dependencies.
 
  86 As this is a Make‐based program, steps will only be run if the
 
  87   corresponding buildfile or output file is older than its
 
  92 The ⛩️📰 书社 name·space is `urn:fdc:ladys.computer:20231231:Shu1She4`.
 
  94 This document uses a few name·space prefixes, with the following
 
  97 |     Prefix | Expansion                                     |

 108 ## Setup and Configuration
 
 110 ⛩️📰 书社 depends on the following programs to run.
 
 111 In every case, you may supply your own implementation by overriding the
 
 112   corresponding (allcaps) variable (e·g, set `MKDIR` to supply your own
 
 113   `mkdir` implementation).
 
 123 - `git` (optional; set `GIT=` to disable)
 
 126 - `mkdir` (requires support for `-p`)
 
 128 - `od` (requires support for `-t x1`)
 
 129 - `pax` (only when generating archives)
 
 134 - `stat` (BSD *or* GNU)
 
 137 - `tr` (requires support for `-d`)
 
 138 - `uuencode` (requires support for `-m` and `-r`)
 
 139 - `uudecode` (requires support for `-m` and `-r`)
 
 140 - `xargs` (requires support for `-0`)
 
 141 - `xmlcatalog` (provided by `libxml2`)
 
 142 - `xmllint` (provided by `libxml2`)
 
 143 - `xsltproc` (provided by `libxslt`)
 
 145 The following additional variables can be used to control the behaviour
 
 149   The location of the source files (default: `sources`).
 
 150   Multiple source directories can be provided, so long as the same
 
 151     file subpath doesn’t exist in more than one of them.
 
 154   The location of source includes (default: `sources/includes`).
 
 155   This can be inside of `SRCDIR`, but needn’t be.
 
 156   Multiple include directories can be provided, so long as the same
 
 157     file subpath doesn’t exist in more than one of them.
 
 160   The location of the (temporary) build directory (default: `build`).
 
 161   `make clean` will delete this, and it is recommended that it not be
 
 162     used for programs aside from ⛩️📰 书社.
 
 165   The location of directory to output files to (default: `public`).
 
 166   `make install` will overwrite files in this directory which
 
 167     correspond to those in `SRCDIR`.
 
 168   It *will not* touch other files, including those generated from files
 
 169     in `SRCDIR` which have since been deleted.
 
 171   Files are first compiled to `$(BUILDDIR)/public` before they are
 
 172     copied to `DESTDIR`, so this folder is relatively quick and
 
 173     inexpensive to re·create.
 
 174   It’s reasonable to simply delete it before every `make install` to
 
 175     ensure stale content is removed.
 
 178   The location of the ⛩️📰 书社 `GNUmakefile`.
 
 179   This should be set automatically when calling Make and shouldn’t ever
 
 180     need to be set manually.
 
 181   This variable is used to find the ⛩️📰 书社 `lib/` folder, which is
 
 182     expected to be in the same location.
 
 185   A white·space‐separated list of magic files to use (default:
 
 186     `$(THISDIR)/magic/*`).
 
 189   The value of this variable is appended to `MAGIC` by default, to
 
 190     enable additional magic files without overriding the existing ones.
 
 193   Rules to use with `find` when searching for source files.
 
 194   The default ignores files that start with a period or hyphen‐minus,
 
 195     those which end with a cloparen, and those which contain a hash,
 
 196     buck, percent, asterisk, colon, semi, eroteme, bracket, backslash,
 
 199 - **`EXTRAFINDRULES`:**
 
 200   The value of this variable is appended to `FINDRULES` by default, to
 
 201     enable additional rules without overriding the existing ones.
 
 203 - **`FINDINCLUDERULES`:**
 
 204   Rules to use with `find` when searching for includes (default:
 
 207 - **`EXTRAFINDINCLUDERULES`:**
 
 208   The value of this variable is appended to `FINDINCLUDERULES` by
 
 209     default, to enable additional rules without overriding the existing
 
 213   A white·space‐separated list of parsers to use (default:
 
 214     `$(THISDIR)/parsers/*.xslt`).
 
 216 - **`EXTRAPARSERS`:**
 
 217   The value of this variable is appended to `PARSERS` by default, to
 
 218     enable additional parsers without overriding the existing ones.
 
 221   A white·space‐separated list of transforms to use (default:
 
 222     `$(THISDIR)/transforms/*.xslt`).
 
 224 - **`EXTRATRANSFORMS`:**
 
 225   The value of this variable is appended to `TRANSFORMS` by default, to
 
 226     enable additional transforms without overriding the existing ones.
 
 229   A white·space‐separated list of media types to consider X·M·L
 
 230     (default: `application/xml text/xml`).
 
 233   The current version of ⛩️📰 书社 (default: derived from the current
 
 234     git tag/branch/commit).
 
 237   The current version of the source files (default: derived from the
 
 238     current git tag/branch/commit).
 
 241   If this variable has a value, every recipe instruction will be
 
 242     printed when it runs (default: empty).
 
 243   This is helpful for debugging, but typically too noisy for general
 
 248 Source files may be placed in `SRCDIR` in any manner; the file
 
 249   structure used there will match the output.
 
 250 The type of source files is *not* determined by file extension, but
 
 251   rather by magic number; this means that files **must** begin with
 
 252   something recognizable.
 
 253 Supported magic numbers include :—
 
 255 - `<?xml` for `application/xml` files
 
 256 - `#!js` for `text/javascript` files
 
 257 - `@charset "` for `text/css` files
 
 258 - `#!tsv` for `text/tab-separated-values` files
 
 259 - `%%` for `text/record-jar` files (unregistered; see
 
 260     [[draft-phillips-record-jar-01][]])
 
 262 Text formats with associated X·S·L·T parsers are wrapped in a H·T·M·L
 
 263   `<script>` element whose `@type` gives its media type, and then
 
 264   passed to the parser to process.
 
 265 Source files whose media type does not have an associated X·S·L·T
 
 266   parser are considered “assets” and will not be transformed.
 
 268 **☡ For compatibility with this program, source file·names must not
 
 269   contain Ascii white·space, colons (`:`), semis (`;`), pipes (`|`),
 
 270   bucks (`$`), percents (`%`), hashes (`#`), asterisks (`*`), brackets
 
 271   (`[` or `]`), erotemes (`?`), backslashes (`\`), or control
 
 272   characters, must not begin with a hyphen‐minus (`-`), and must not
 
 273   end with a cloparen (`)`).**
 
 274 The former characters have the potential to conflict with make syntax,
 
 275   a leading hyphen‐minus is confusable for a command‐line argument, and
 
 276   a trailing cloparen [activates a bug in G·N·U Make
 
 277   3.81](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17148468/capturing-filenames-including-parentheses-with-gnu-makes-wildcard-function#comment24825307_17148894).
 
 281 Parsers are used to convert plaintext files into X·M·L trees, as well
 
 282   as convert plaintext formats which are already included inline in
 
 283   existing source X·M·L documents.
 
 284 ⛩️📰 书社 comes with some parsers; namely :—
 
 286 - **`parsers/plain.xslt`:**
 
 287   Wraps `text/plain` contents in a `<html:pre>` element.
 
 289 - **`parsers/record-jar.xslt`:**
 
 290   Converts `text/record-jar` contents into a `<html:div>` of
 
 291     `<html:dl>` elements (one for each record).
 
 293 - **`parsers/tsv.xslt`:**
 
 294   Converts `text/tab-separated-values` contents into an `<html:table>`
 
 297 New ⛩️📰 书社 parsers which target plaintext formats should have an
 
 298   `<xslt:template>` element with no `@name` or `@mode` and whose
 
 301 - Starts with an appropriately‐name·spaced qualified name for a
 
 302     `<html:script>` element.
 
 304 - Follows this with the string `[@type=`.
 
 306 - Follows this with a quoted string giving a media type supported by
 
 308   Media type parameters are *not* supported.
 
 310 - Follows this with the string `]`.
 
 312 For example, the trivial `text/plain` parser is defined as follows :—
 
 315 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 
 317   xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
 
 318   xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 
 319   xmlns:书社="urn:fdc:ladys.computer:20231231:Shu1She4"
 
 322   <书社:id>example:text/plain</书社:id>
 
 323   <template match="html:script[@type='text/plain']">
 
 324     <html:pre><value-of select="."/></html:pre>
 
 329 ⛩️📰 书社 will scan the provided parsers for this pattern to determine
 
 330   the set of allowed plaintext file types.
 
 331 Multiple such `<xslt:template>` elements may be provided in a single
 
 332   parser, for example if the parser supports multiple media types.
 
 333 Alternatively, you can set the `@书社:supported-media-types` attribute
 
 334   on the root element of the parser to override media type support
 
 337 Even when `@书社:supported-media-types` is set, it is a requirement
 
 338   that each parser transform any `<html:script>` elements with a
 
 339   `@type` which matches their registered types into something else.
 
 340 Otherwise the parser will be stuck in an endless loop.
 
 341 The result tree of applying the transform to the `<html:script>`
 
 342   element will be reparsed (in case any new `<html:script>` elements
 
 343   were added in its subtree), and a `@书社:parsed-by` attribute will be
 
 344   added to each toplevel element in the result.
 
 345 The value of this attribute will be the value of the `<书社:id>`
 
 346   toplevel element in the parser.
 
 348 It is possible for parsers to support zero plaintext types.
 
 349 This is useful when targeting specific dialects of X·M·L; parsers in
 
 350   this sense operate on the same basic principles as transforms
 
 352 The major distinction between X·M·L parsers and transforms is where in
 
 353   the process the transformation happens:
 
 354 Parsers are applied *prior* to embedding (and can be used to generate
 
 355   embeds); transforms are applied *after*.
 
 357 It is **strongly recommended** that auxillary templates in parsers be
 
 358   name·spaced (by `@name` or `@mode`) whenever possible, to avoid
 
 359   conflicts between parsers.
 
 361 ### Attributes added during parsing
 
 363 ⛩️📰 书社 will add a few attributes to the output of the parsing step,
 
 366 - A `@书社:cksum` attribute on toplevel result elements, giving the
 
 367     `cksum` checksum of the corresponding source file.
 
 369 - For the elements which result from parsing plaintext `<html:script>`
 
 372   - A `@书社:parsed-by` attribute, giving a space‐separated list of
 
 373       parsers which parsed the node.
 
 374     (Generally, this will be a list of one, but it is possible for the
 
 375       result of a parse to be another plaintext node, which may be
 
 376       parsed by a different parser.)
 
 378   - A `@书社:media-type` attribute, giving the identified media type of
 
 383 Documents can be embedded in other documents using a `<书社:link>`
 
 384   element with `@xlink:show="embed"`.
 
 385 The `@xlink:href`s of these elements should have the format
 
 386   `about:shushe?source=<path>`, where `<path>` provides the path to the
 
 387   file within `SRCDIR`.
 
 388 Includes, which do not generate outputs of their own but may still be
 
 389   freely embedded, instead use the format
 
 390   `about:shushe?include=<path>`, where `<path>` provides the path
 
 393 Embeds are replaced with the parsed contents of a file, unless the file
 
 394   is an asset, in which case an `<html:object>` element is produced
 
 395   instead (with the contents of the asset file provided as a base64
 
 397 Embed replacements will be given a `@书社:identifier` attribute whose
 
 398   value will match the `@xlink:href` of the embed.
 
 400 Embedding takes place after parsing but before transformation, so
 
 401   parsers are able to generate their own embeds.
 
 402 ⛩️📰 书社 is able to detect the transitive embed dependencies of files
 
 403   and update them accordingly; it will signal an error if the
 
 404   dependencies are recursive.
 
 406 ## Output Redirection
 
 408 By default, ⛩️📰 书社 installs files to the same location in `DESTDIR`
 
 409   as they were placed in their `SRCDIR`.
 
 410 This behaviour can be customized by setting the `@书社:destination`
 
 411   attribute on the root element, whose value can give a different path.
 
 412 This attribute is read after parsing, but before transformation (where
 
 413   it is silently dropped).
 
 417 Transforms are used to convert X·M·L files into their final output,
 
 418   after all necessary parsing and embedding has taken place.
 
 419 ⛩️📰 书社 comes with some transforms; namely :—
 
 421 - **`transforms/asset.xslt`:**
 
 422   Converts `<html:object>` elements which correspond to recognized
 
 423     media types into the appropriate H·T·M·L elements, and deletes
 
 424     `<html:style>` elements from the body of the document and moves
 
 427 - **`transforms/metadata.xslt`:**
 
 428   Provides basic `<html:head>` metadata.
 
 429   This metadata is generated from `<html:meta>` elements with one of
 
 430     the following `@itemprop` attributes :—
 
 432   - **`urn:fdc:ladys.computer:20231231:Shu1She4:title`:**
 
 433     Provides the title of the page.
 
 435   ⛩️📰 书社 automatically encapsulates H·T·M·L embeds so that their
 
 436     metadata does not propogate up to the embedding document.
 
 437   To undo this behaviour, remove the `@itemscope` and `@itemtype`
 
 438     attributes from the embed during the transformation phase.
 
 440 - **`transforms/serialization.xslt`:**
 
 441   Replaces `<书社:serialize-xml>` elements with the (escaped)
 
 442     serialized X·M·L of their contents.
 
 443   This replacement happens during the application phase, after most
 
 444     other transformations have taken place.
 
 446   If a `@with-namespaces` attribute is provided, any name·space nodes
 
 447     on the toplevel serialized elements whose U·R·I’s correspond to the
 
 448     definitions of the provided prefixes, as defined for the
 
 449     `<书社:serialize-xml>` element, will be declared using name·space
 
 450     attributes on the serialized elements.
 
 451   Otherwise, only name·space nodes which _differ_ from the definitions
 
 452     on the `<书社:serialize-xml>` element will be declared.
 
 453   The string `#default` may be used to represent the default
 
 455   Multiple prefixes may be provided, separated by white·space.
 
 457   When it comes to name·spaces used internally by ⛩️📰 书社, the
 
 458     prefix used by ⛩️📰 书社 may be declared _in addition to_ the
 
 459     prefix(es) used in the source document(s).
 
 460   It is not possible to selectively only declare one prefix for a
 
 461     name·space to the exclusion of others.
 
 463   `<书社:raw-output>` elements may be used inside of
 
 464     `<书社:serialize-xml>` elements to inject raw output into the
 
 467 The following are recommendations on effective creation of
 
 470 - Make template matchers as specific as possible.
 
 471   It is likely an error if two transforms have templates which match
 
 472     the same element (unless the templates have different priority).
 
 474 - Name·space templates (with `@name` or `@mode`) whenever possible.
 
 476 - Set `@exclude-result-prefixes` on the root `xslt:transform` element
 
 477     to reduce the number of declared name·spaces in the final result.
 
 481 The following params are made available globally in parsers and
 
 488   The checksum of the source file (⅌ `cksum`).
 
 491   The ⛩️📰 书社 identifier of the source file (a u·r·i beginning with
 
 495   The value of the `SRCREV` variable (if present).
 
 498   The time at which the source file was last modified.
 
 501   The value of the `THISREV` variable (if present).
 
 503 The following params are only available in transforms :—
 
 506   The path of the catalog file (within `BUILDDIR`).
 
 509   The path of the output file (within `DESTDIR`).
 
 513 ⛩️📰 书社 will wrap the final output of the transforms in appropriate
 
 514   `<html:html>` and `<html:body>` elements, so it is not necessary for
 
 515   transforms to do this explicitly.
 
 516 After performing the initial transform, ⛩️📰 书社 will match the root
 
 517   node of the result in the following modes to fill in areas of the
 
 521   The result of matching in this mode is prepended into the
 
 522     `<html:body>` of the output (before the transformation result).
 
 525   The result of matching in this mode is appended into the
 
 526     `<html:body>` of the output (after the transformation result).
 
 529   The result of matching in this mode is inserted into the
 
 530     `<html:head>` of the output.
 
 532 In addition to being called with the transform result, each of these
 
 533   modes will additionally be called with a `<xslt:include>` element
 
 534   corresponding to each transform.
 
 535 If a transform has a `<书社:id>` top‐level element whose value is an
 
 536   i·r·i, its `<xslt:include>` element will have a corresponding
 
 538 This mechanism can be used to allow transforms to insert content
 
 539   without matching any elements in the result; for example, the
 
 540   following transform adds a link to a stylesheet to the `<html:head>`

 560 Output wrapping can be entirely disabled by adding a
 
 561   `@书社:disable-output-wrapping` attribute to the top‐level element in
 
 563 It will not be performed on outputs whose root elements are
 
 564   `<书社:archive>`, `<书社:base64-binary>`, or `<书社:raw-text>`
 
 567 ## Applying Attributes
 
 569 The `<书社:apply-attributes>` element will apply any attributes on the
 
 570   element to the element(s) it wraps.
 
 571 It is especially useful in combination with embeds.
 
 573 The `<书社:apply-attributes-to-root>` element will apply any attributes
 
 574   on the element to the root node of the final transformation result.
 
 575 It is especially useful in combination with output wrapping.
 
 577 In both cases, attributes from various sources are combined with
 
 578   white·space between them.
 
 579 Attribute application takes place after all ordinary transforms have
 
 582 Both elements ignore attributes in the `xml:` name·space, except for
 
 583   `@xml:lang`, which ignores all but the first definition (including
 
 584   any already present on the root element).
 
 585 On H·T·M·L and S·V·G elements, `@lang` has the same behaviour as
 
 588 ## Other Kinds of Output
 
 590 There are a few special elements in the `书社:` name·space which, if
 
 591   they appear as the toplevel element in a transformation result, cause
 
 592   ⛩️📰 书社 to produce something other than an X·M·L file.
 
 595 - **`<书社:archive>`:**
 
 596   Each child element with a `@书社:archived-as` attribute will be
 
 597     archived as a separate file in a resulting tarball (this attribute
 
 598     gives the file name).
 
 599   These elements will be processed the same as the root elements of any
 
 600     other file (e·g, they will be wrapped; they can themselves specify
 
 601     non X·M·L output types, ⁊·c).
 
 602   Other child elements will be ignored.
 
 604 - **`<书社:base64-binary>`:**
 
 605   The text nodes in the transformation result will, after removing all
 
 606     Ascii whitespace, be treated as a Base·64 string, which is then
 
 609 - **`<书社:raw-text>`:**
 
 610   A plaintext (U·T·F‐8) file will be produced from the text nodes in
 
 611     the transformation result.
