Sed in-place edit incompatibility on OSX #1

Open jthurst3 opened 9 years ago

jthurst3 commented 9 years ago

I have a simple _nav.txt file that contains the following contents:

. About
apply.html Apply
contact.html Contact
faq.html FAQ

After making a small modification to faq.md and running mksite, I get the following error: 

rendering nav
sed: 1: "_nav.html": invalid command code _
make: *** [README.nav.html] Error 1
rm README.nav.html README.content.html

I believe this error is similar to what's described here, as I'm running on OSX and using BSD sed from May 10, 2005. Any ideas on how to fix?

clehner commented 9 years ago

It's probably because of \s and \S, which the 2005 sed doesn't support. bb also had this issue. I just pushed a sed-fix branch that uses [ \t] instead. Does that work?

jthurst3 commented 9 years ago

Doesn't seem to work. I get the same output.

sed: 1: "nav.html": invalid command code

looks like it's interpretting _nav.html as a command instead of as a filename. I'm replacing the filename now with <filename to put it in as stdin instead of as an argument. I'm testing with plan9 sed on Debian and see some other compatibility issues too.

How about now?

jthurst3 commented 9 years ago

Compiles and generates the static pages, but it is not correctly displaying bold text. Here is some sample input and output: sample.md:

**This should be in bold.**

relevant part of sample.html:

<p><strong></strong>This should be in bold.<strong></strong></p>

Ok, this would then be an issue with md2html.awk. I'm not sure what to do about that, other than suggest using a different markdown-to-html tool.

Edit: squashed and rebased the sed-fix branch onto master.

Yeah, md2html.awk seems to be relying on some GNU awk feature. I see the same result as you when using plan9's awk. Do you have gawk?
