- # [02:51] <Hixie> if i have two text files, and one has a marker in it which i want to replace with the other text file, is there some easy way to do that?
- # [02:52] <Philip`> I think sed can do that
- # [02:53] <Dashiva> There's also python, perl, etc with a read/replace/write
- # [02:53] * Joins: MacDome (n=eric@c-24-130-11-246.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)

- # [02:54] <Hixie> sed '/INCLUDE/ r file' <in >out
- # [02:55] * Philip` was just trying to find that in the man page :-)
- # [02:55] <Hixie> the sed manpage is abysmal
- # [02:55] <Philip`> It seems a little more complex if you want to delete the marker
- # [02:55] <Hixie> sed '/INCLUDE/ { r file d
- # [02:55] <Hixie> }'
- # [02:55] <Hixie> with newlines
- # [02:56] <Dashiva> A lot of the basic tool man pages seem to assume you already know how the program works...
- # [02:57] <Philip`> The newline thing makes sed really awkward to use on the command line
- # [02:58] <Philip`> Much easier to do perl -ne'print /INCLUDE/ ? `cat file` : $_' in
- # [02:58] <Hixie> yeah but i'm trying to learn new tools
- # [02:59] <Philip`> If you want to do that, you could write a VB.NET program that uses COM to make Word open a file and replace text

- # [03:05] <Hixie> i wish i was making these up
- # [03:06] <Philip`> It'd be better to just add &{ANTICLOCKWISE CONTOUR INTEGRAL} allowing standard Unicode names, instead of making up a new list of names for characters
- # [03:07] <Philip`> Unicode only seems to have SMALL SQUAREs and MEDIUM SMALL SQUAREs
- # [03:07] <Hixie> U+025AA

- # [16:23] <annevk> since not everything on the list seems to reach the world outside I'm interested in what people will say
- # [16:23] <roc> "/> is no longer a token of faith"
- # [16:23] <roc> what does that mean?
- # [16:24] <gsnedders> roc: it is suitable for atheists for foreign elements :P
- # [16:24] <annevk> I think at some point there was a remark in HTML5 for <br/> syntax that the / was a token of faith
- # [16:24] <gsnedders> roc: the spec used to say the solidus was a token of faith
- # [16:24] <annevk> because it's equivalent to <br>
- # [16:24] <roc> ookay
- # [16:25] <hsivonen> hmm... http://www.w3.org/2008/03/validators-chart
- # [16:25] <gsnedders> roc: "Then, if the element is one of the void elements, then there may be a single U+002F SOLIDUS (/) character. This character has no effect except to appease the markup gods. As this character is therefore just a symbol of faith, atheists should omit it."
- # [16:25] <gsnedders> roc: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-20080122/#start
- # [16:25] <roc> hmmm
- # [16:25] <annevk> hsivonen, yeah, I don't get their DOCTYPE endorsements and why non well-formed application/xhtml+xml would be HTML5...
- # [16:26] <roc> I'm not sure making HTML elements terminate the math context is the right move
- # [16:26] <roc> I sure hope <svg><foreignObject><p> doesn't escape
- # [16:26] <annevk> ah, yes, that still works
- # [16:26] <annevk> I should clarify that
- # [16:26] <roc> and to be honest I'd like to retain the option of <svg><p> 'working'
- # [16:27] <gsnedders> hsivonen: cases of that seem to outnumber those that are the infamous IIS bug
- # [16:27] <roc> although that's not as important as solving this issue, so good work
- # [16:27] <annevk> roc, I think that if a major UA like Firefox is willing to do that it might be fine, the fear is mostly breaking pages
- # [16:32] <roc> we're known to be less afraid of breaking pages than some other UAs :-)
- # [16:33] <annevk> I added: "The MathML elements mi, mo, mn, ms, and mtext and the SVG elements foreignObject, desc, and title provide bridges so that the aforementioned magic list of HTML element names can be nested safely inside SVG and MathML (in the HTML namespace, too). They also allow for SVG in MathML and vice versa."

- # [16:37] <hsivonen> as an aside, the economists say decisions shouldn't be based on sunk cost...
- # [16:37] <annevk> I'm reading a book on recent Africa history and it has this chapter titled "The Passing of the Old Guard" which sounded familiar
- # [16:38] <annevk> hsivonen, what do you mean?
- # [16:39] <hsivonen> annevk: when deciding a course of action, the cost of what you've done already shouldn't matter per se. the cost from where you are now to anticipated decisions consequences should matter, though
- # [16:39] <hsivonen> annevk: example:
- # [16:40] <hsivonen> the amount of money that has been put into SVG in browsers is not the point when adopting SVG for HTML. The point is that using what SVG functionality there already is to implement SVG-in-text/html is less costly than starting from scratch
- # [16:41] <hsivonen> so the effort the W3C has put into XML should not matter
- # [16:41] <hsivonen> the cost from getting from the current state of adoption to somewhere we want to go should be considered instead
- # [16:42] <hsivonen> and the cost of replacing text/html with something else would still be huge
