To add a ratings system and a login form to the header, I will need to write the header in PHP, not Perl. Maybe it could be done in Perl, but I normally write in PHP, PHP has natural integration with HTML, and its syntax is more like C. So I prefer to use PHP. The problem is that the header files called by most of the pages here are Perl CGI scripts, and I can't just write PHP in a .cgi file. Nor have I found a way to call a PHP script from a Perl script. So it looks like I will have to rewrite all the HTML files that call headerscript.cgi or other Perl headers. This seemed like a time-consuming task until I realized I could write a script to recursively load and edit all the HTML files on the site. I'll test it on one file before I go recursive through the whole site. While I'm at it, I'll also see about converting pages to UTF-8. So I'll find a page using Latin-1 and test it on that. If it works, site-wide conversion to UTF-8 will be much easier. I'll get on this after work.

Quick Markdown Guide

By default, new comments may be entered as Markdown, simple markup syntax designed to be readable and not look like markup. Comments stored as Markdown will be converted to HTML by Parsedown before displaying them. This follows the Github Flavored Markdown Spec with support for Markdown Extra. For a good overview of Markdown in general, check out the Markdown Guide. Here is a quick comparison of some commonly used Markdown with the rendered result:

  • Second unordered list item
  • New unordered list
    • Nested list item

Third Level header <H3>

    This begins with even more indentation.
And this line has no indentation.
