#Gunnerkrigg Online Searchable Site Files for the online searchable Gunnerkrigg Court site: http://www.louisxiv.co.uk/gunnerkrigg/ Index.txt is parsed into HTML by a python script
##Getting Started Please send me a PM on the forums or reply to the forum post if you want to get involved and we can get you started.
For more information see the Wiki for this project
###Tagging guide
- What to tag? Anything relevant that can be seen in the page that people might want to search for
- The top priority is to tag all the characters, settings and important props; other things can be added later if you're not sure
- It's best to use tags that already exist (check alltags.txt) if possible. If you need to add a new tag, add it to alltags.txt at the same time with a description; use tags such as "GoodHope" rather than "GoodHopeHospital" as tags can be described
- At the moment, just tag characters who are seen (in the main action, flashbacks, memories), rather than mentioned (this may change)
- Important props/items such as the blinker stone need to be tagged
- Recurring characters should be tagged by name or a specific description if possible; generic characters should be referred to as "teacher" or "students" or "LaserCow"
- If you can tag things like alchemical symbols that would be very useful. If you are not sure what a symbol is, tag it as "symbol" and make a new post on the forum and ask- there are a lot of knowledgeable people out there!
- The forum, tvtropes and the Gunnerkrigg Wiki (gunnerkrigg.wikia.com) are invaluable for information on who and what exists in the comic
- At the moment we are not tagging the cover pages however this might change
- Treatises are obviously full of tag-material! Have a go and we'll all contribute further tags as necessary
###How to use the tagging helper
- The tagging helper will work out of the box- just open "taghelper.htm".
- Ideally, install Python 2.x.x (current production version 2.7.5) (available at http://www.python.org/getit/); then whenever you want to update it with your latest index.txt, just run "taghelper.py".
###Starting with GitHub
- First you need one of us (probably me) to give you access to the repo. Please send me a PM on the forums or reply to the forum post if you want access.
- You can either edit the files directly on the website and commit changes that way or:
- You can download a program for win/mac/linux
- Install it and run it
- Sign in and click on your username below "github" on the far left of the program
- Click on the repository in the middle that you want (snipergirl/gunnerkrigg) and click 'clone'; that will give you a copy on your computer.
- Each time before editing, in the main part of the program can click "refresh" at the top middle, click on the repo and click "sync" up the top.
- Then edit the files yourself
- When you are ready to submit your changes, save the file
- Go into your github program, which will show that you have unsaved changes in whichever file(s)
- Put in a commit message about what you have done in the right hand area and click "commit"
- Then click "sync" and it should upload.
- This is also a tutorial about Git in general: try.github.io/levels/1/challenges/1
