return unless bored? #MiniQuiz = do my 'work' for me.
I'm writing a library (OWLScratch) for converting wiki markup into
HTML. (The OWL part of the name is because it's derived from the
markup used by OpenWiki, hence "OpenWiki Language"; the Scratch is
because it's my own half-implemented flavor.)
It's not nearly ready yet, but the core concepts are working. So far,
it tokenizes the document into a series of hierarchically-nested
nodes. If I wanted XML, I could make up my own schema and be done.
But I want HTML.
In OWLScratch, the following represents a nested list:
* List item 1
* List item 2
* List item 2.1
* List item 2.2
* List item 3
* List item 3.1
* List item 3.1.1
Right now, that tokenizes into one node per line:
<bullet level="1">List item 1</bullet>
<bullet level="1">List item 2</bullet>
<bullet level="2">List item 2.1</bullet>
<bullet level="2">List item 2.2</bullet>
<bullet level="1">List item 3</bullet>
<bullet level="2">List item 3.1</bullet>
<bullet level="3">List item 3.1.1</bullet>
The challenge is that I need to be able to spin through the list and
(should be possible in one pass) properly nest those as the HTML
requires:
<ul> <-- new node!
<li>List item 1</li>
<li>List item 2
<ul> <-- new node, child of list item 2!
<li>List item 2.1</li>
<li>List item 2.2</li>
</ul> <-- closed because the next item is a lower level
<li>List item 3
<ul> <-- holy crap, it happened again!
<li>List item 3.1
<ul> <-- when will the madness end?
<li>List item 3.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I know this should be not-hard, but I just played a full game of
Ultimate Frisbee, and I thought this might appeal to someone else.
The full library (so far, v0.0.1 or so) is attached, but I can (and
probably will have to) extend the Tag class to support DOM-like
properties such as previous_sibling and next_sibling. And make
reparenting a node properly remove it from the previous parent's
@child_nodes collection.
I'll speak more about OWLScratch in a few days, when I hope to have
it ready for a really preliminary release.
Oh, for extra credit - think about nested list types, as seen here:
http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?HelpOnFormatting#h9
(My lists do not (currently) allow content of a single item to be
manually wrapped onto multiple lines.)

=0D
: Dry dog food is far better than canned! It is more economical, takes =
up less space, and is generally better tasting. With reconstituted dried =
milk (and sugar if you like) most dry food tastes not too different from =
dry breakfast cereal. A hundred pound sack of dry dog food contains as =
many calories as a ton of fresh potatoes. The dog food also contains =
protein, vitamins, etc., that the potatoes do not.=0D
=0D
: Our understanding of the rubber bag has led us to an effective =
tool that accurately indicates whether too much, too little, or just the =
right amount of food is going in. In the last chapter you've learned how =
to work that tool, integrating it into your daily and monthly routine so =
the information it yields can guide your eating.=0D
=0D
: All the information in the world, however, doesn't change a thing =
until somebody takes action based upon it. In losing weight, "somebody" =
is your body. Now we'll turn to planning meals to control the calories =
that go in. Analysis of the trend based on daily weight measurements is =
the key engineering trick to weight control. Meal planning for =
predictable calorie intake is the central management tool which closes =
the circle and achieves control over weight.=0D
=0D
: The goal of meal planning is a predictable and reliable daily =
calorie intake. We can't really wear an eat watch to tell us when to =
stop eating, but we can accomplish the same objective with a little =
paperwork in advance. By planning meals then sticking to the plan, =
you're not only guaranteed to achieve your goal, you eliminate the =
uncertainty about meals and the need for on-the-fly judgements about =
what, when, and how much to eat that are a prime contributor to weight =
gain in people living stressful, chaotic lives.=0D
=0D
: Planning meals in advance may seem foreign; an act that stamps out =
some of the precious spontaneity that makes life enjoyable. I think =
you'll see the reality isn't that bad, but first consider why planning =
meals is worth discussing at all. Eating is important; it's one of very =
few things in life that isn't optional. If you don't eat, you die. If =
you eat too much for too long, you die. You wouldn't consider for a =
moment investing in a company that had no budgets, where everybody said, =
"We just spend whatever we feel like from day to day, and hope it will =
all work out in the long run." Not only would such a business be prone =
to bankruptcy, its managers would have no way of knowing where the money =
was going; there'd be no way to measure actual performance against goals =
to discover where problems lay. No, only a fool would risk his money on =
such a venture.=0D
=0D
: Yet by trying to "wing it" with regard to what you eat, to balance =
your long term calorie intake meal by meal, making every decision on the =
spur of the moment, you're placing something even more precious than =
your money, your own health, in the hands of a process you know =
inevitably leads to serious trouble.=0D
=0D
: You encounter, in business, the rare exceptions: managers who can =
run a small to medium sized business without a budget or a plan. They =
are "naturals," endowed either with a talent for assimilating vast =
quantities of detail and extracting the meaning within, or else with a =
sixth sense for emerging problems and an instinct for solving them. =
These rare individuals, born with a "sense for business," are the =
managerial equivalent of people with a built-in eat watch like Skinny =
Sam. They can get along without the help of the numbers and calculations =
the rest of us need to steer a steady course.=0D
=0D
: So it is with weight control. Just because some people manage =
without planning their meals doesn't mean it'll work for you or me. We =
must, like most managers in business, supplement our unreliable =
instincts with numbers that chart our goal and guide us there.=0D
=0D
: In business, a budget collapses a huge amount of de- tail, the =
individual transactions, into a small collection of numbers: how much =
money is allocated to various general purposes. In planning meals, all =
the multitude of foods and the infinite variety of meals are similarly =
reduced to a single number: calories per day. To plan meals, it's =
essential to know how many calories per day you're trying to eat. Where =
does that number come from?=0D
=0D
: As you gain more and more experience monitoring and controlling your =
weight, you'll collect enough information to know precisely how many =
calories your own body needs per day. Until then, you can start with =
guidelines for people about like you. Based on your height, frame size, =
and sex look up the calories burned per day in the tables on pages 36 =
and 37. Pick a number in the middle of the range given. For example, =
Dietin' Doris, five foot four in her bare feet with an average build, =
would start with a calorie target of 1770. (The range in the table runs =
from 1574 to 1967, and the average of these numbers is (1574 + 1967) 2 =3D=
1770.)=0D
=0D
: This target assumes Doris' goal is maintaining her present weight. =
If she wants to lose or gain weight, it must be adjusted based on the =
daily calorie shortfall or excess she intends. To lose weight at the =
rate of one pound per week, Doris should eat 500 fewer calories per day =
than she burns. (Thus, over a week she'll end up 3500 calories shy and =
hence burn off 3500 calories of fat: one pound.)=0D
=0D
: Subtracting the calorie cutback, 500, from the number she burns =
gives the number she can eat per day. Her calorie target is thus 1770 =
500 =3D 1270 calories per day.=0D

return unless bored? #MiniQuiz = do my 'work' for me.
I'm writing a library (OWLScratch) for converting wiki markup into
HTML. (The OWL part of the name is because it's derived from the
markup used by OpenWiki, hence "OpenWiki Language"; the Scratch is
because it's my own half-implemented flavor.)
It's not nearly ready yet, but the core concepts are working. So far,
it tokenizes the document into a series of hierarchically-nested
nodes. If I wanted XML, I could make up my own schema and be done.
But I want HTML.
In OWLScratch, the following represents a nested list:
* List item 1
* List item 2
* List item 2.1
* List item 2.2
* List item 3
* List item 3.1
* List item 3.1.1
Right now, that tokenizes into one node per line:
<bullet level="1">List item 1</bullet>
<bullet level="1">List item 2</bullet>
<bullet level="2">List item 2.1</bullet>
<bullet level="2">List item 2.2</bullet>
<bullet level="1">List item 3</bullet>
<bullet level="2">List item 3.1</bullet>
<bullet level="3">List item 3.1.1</bullet>
The challenge is that I need to be able to spin through the list and
(should be possible in one pass) properly nest those as the HTML
requires:
<ul> <-- new node!
<li>List item 1</li>
<li>List item 2
<ul> <-- new node, child of list item 2!
<li>List item 2.1</li>
<li>List item 2.2</li>
</ul> <-- closed because the next item is a lower level
<li>List item 3
<ul> <-- holy crap, it happened again!
<li>List item 3.1
<ul> <-- when will the madness end?
<li>List item 3.2</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I know this should be not-hard, but I just played a full game of
Ultimate Frisbee, and I thought this might appeal to someone else.
The full library (so far, v0.0.1 or so) is attached, but I can (and
probably will have to) extend the Tag class to support DOM-like
properties such as previous_sibling and next_sibling. And make
reparenting a node properly remove it from the previous parent's
@child_nodes collection.
I'll speak more about OWLScratch in a few days, when I hope to have
it ready for a really preliminary release.
Oh, for extra credit - think about nested list types, as seen here:
http://openwiki.com/ow.asp?HelpOnFormatting#h9
(My lists do not (currently) allow content of a single item to be
manually wrapped onto multiple lines.)

Finally, we end with a few big paragraph blocks with no styling in them =
at all, for speed testing purposes:=0D
=0D
: Dry dog food is far better than canned! It is more economical, takes =
up less space, and is generally better tasting. With reconstituted dried =
milk (and sugar if you like) most dry food tastes not too different from =
dry breakfast cereal. A hundred pound sack of dry dog food contains as =
many calories as a ton of fresh potatoes. The dog food also contains =
protein, vitamins, etc., that the potatoes do not.=0D
=0D
: Our understanding of the rubber bag has led us to an effective =
tool that accurately indicates whether too much, too little, or just the =
right amount of food is going in. In the last chapter you've learned how =
to work that tool, integrating it into your daily and monthly routine so =
the information it yields can guide your eating.=0D
=0D
: All the information in the world, however, doesn't change a thing =
until somebody takes action based upon it. In losing weight, "somebody" =
is your body. Now we'll turn to planning meals to control the calories =
that go in. Analysis of the trend based on daily weight measurements is =
the key engineering trick to weight control. Meal planning for =
predictable calorie intake is the central management tool which closes =
the circle and achieves control over weight.=0D
=0D
: The goal of meal planning is a predictable and reliable daily =
calorie intake. We can't really wear an eat watch to tell us when to =
stop eating, but we can accomplish the same objective with a little =
paperwork in advance. By planning meals then sticking to the plan, =
you're not only guaranteed to achieve your goal, you eliminate the =
uncertainty about meals and the need for on-the-fly judgements about =
what, when, and how much to eat that are a prime contributor to weight =
gain in people living stressful, chaotic lives.=0D
=0D
: Planning meals in advance may seem foreign; an act that stamps out =
some of the precious spontaneity that makes life enjoyable. I think =
you'll see the reality isn't that bad, but first consider why planning =
meals is worth discussing at all. Eating is important; it's one of very =
few things in life that isn't optional. If you don't eat, you die. If =
you eat too much for too long, you die. You wouldn't consider for a =
moment investing in a company that had no budgets, where everybody said, =
"We just spend whatever we feel like from day to day, and hope it will =
all work out in the long run." Not only would such a business be prone =
to bankruptcy, its managers would have no way of knowing where the money =
was going; there'd be no way to measure actual performance against goals =
to discover where problems lay. No, only a fool would risk his money on =
such a venture.=0D
=0D
: Yet by trying to "wing it" with regard to what you eat, to balance =
your long term calorie intake meal by meal, making every decision on the =
spur of the moment, you're placing something even more precious than =
your money, your own health, in the hands of a process you know =
inevitably leads to serious trouble.=0D
=0D
: You encounter, in business, the rare exceptions: managers who can =
run a small to medium sized business without a budget or a plan. They =
are "naturals," endowed either with a talent for assimilating vast =
quantities of detail and extracting the meaning within, or else with a =
sixth sense for emerging problems and an instinct for solving them. =
These rare individuals, born with a "sense for business," are the =
managerial equivalent of people with a built-in eat watch like Skinny =
Sam. They can get along without the help of the numbers and calculations =
the rest of us need to steer a steady course.=0D
=0D
: So it is with weight control. Just because some people manage =
without planning their meals doesn't mean it'll work for you or me. We =
must, like most managers in business, supplement our unreliable =
instincts with numbers that chart our goal and guide us there.=0D
=0D
: In business, a budget collapses a huge amount of de- tail, the =
individual transactions, into a small collection of numbers: how much =
money is allocated to various general purposes. In planning meals, all =
the multitude of foods and the infinite variety of meals are similarly =
reduced to a single number: calories per day. To plan meals, it's =
essential to know how many calories per day you're trying to eat. Where =
does that number come from?=0D
=0D
: As you gain more and more experience monitoring and controlling your =
weight, you'll collect enough information to know precisely how many =
calories your own body needs per day. Until then, you can start with =
guidelines for people about like you. Based on your height, frame size, =
and sex look up the calories burned per day in the tables on pages 36 =
and 37. Pick a number in the middle of the range given. For example, =
Dietin' Doris, five foot four in her bare feet with an average build, =
would start with a calorie target of 1770. (The range in the table runs =
from 1574 to 1967, and the average of these numbers is (1574 + 1967) 2 =3D=
1770.)=0D
=0D
: This target assumes Doris' goal is maintaining her present weight. =
If she wants to lose or gain weight, it must be adjusted based on the =
daily calorie shortfall or excess she intends. To lose weight at the =
rate of one pound per week, Doris should eat 500 fewer calories per day =
than she burns. (Thus, over a week she'll end up 3500 calories shy and =
hence burn off 3500 calories of fat: one pound.)=0D
=0D
: Subtracting the calorie cutback, 500, from the number she burns =
gives the number she can eat per day. Her calorie target is thus 1770 =
500 =3D 1270 calories per day.=0D
