After my last change dealing with this issue, I noticed that descriptions
with <pre> had an extra blank line at the top. Adding top-margin to the
CSS file made this go away, but it also made the <br/> superfluous. Thus,
it is simpler just to have every description use <pre> instead of <br/>.
This should finally resolve everything having to do with the add-on
descriptions.
If I'd noticed that the re module hadn't been imported, I probably wouldn't
have considered URL linking to be important enough to do so. Since I've
already written the code, however, I'll keep it.
This is one source of missing-image results.
There remain other reasons for missing icons. The script doesn't find images
in add-ons. And when resources are moved or renamed, they are no longer found
by the script, even if they had been found before.
Also, capitalize a sentence.
After looking into it some more, I think I've figured out how to handle <pre>
in the CSS. So, use that, when description has more than one line.
Also, go to re.sub for turning URLs into links. The version of Python I was
testing my code on wasn't properly handling backreferences in the replacement
string when in the form "\#", causing me to use finditer instead of sub. But
I've discovered that it does handle backreferences in the form "\g<#>". So
switch to much simpler re.sub code.
The description text does not get rendered very well on a webpage. One
solution might be to use pre-wrap/word-wrap in the CSS, but due to
differences between browsers, that's a can of worms (at least for me, I'm
not a web pro).
So, the not-so-elegant solution is to add <br/> to every line.
URLs are also not linked in the plain text. Although in modern browsers
you can select the text and right-click, it's still convenient to turn
them into actual links.
...that creates problems on the server atm:
no teamcolorize for the icon list till the server is fixed again what
should be done: serialize the teamcolorize call, so that the script
only starts one instance at a time
--tar Causes tarballs to be generated for each addon newly downloaded
with --download.
--url=... Adds download links to the --html output, with the given
base URL.
