Below are two variations of the same script, which Johannes created in order to make changing the layout of multiple pages at once a lot faster. They were designed for very specific changes, but if similar changes are needed, talk to Johannes to see if it is worthwhile and/or possible to change the scripts. The scripts (similar to a .bat file in DOS) use only two programs, tr and sed.
tr replaces all characters in the first set by characters in the second set. For example, tr '\n' '$' replaces all newlines by $s (the other tool, 'sed' works better if you don't have newlines).
sed can do many things, but the feature used here is replacement of regular expression. A regular expression is a sequence of characters where some characters have special meanings. For example, 'My name is [A-Z][a-z]+' would match "My name is Johannes" and "My name is Ian." Another example: to change the font size from 5 to 6, use: sed 's+<font size="5"+<font size="6"+' This means replace the first occurence of <font size="5"> with <font size="6">.
In creating the Rigi Web site, the script was used to:
- change the page background colour
- change a cell's row/column span, alignment, pixel dimensions, colour, and other properties
- move text to a different cell
- change font size
- move components to a different cell
- delete cell contents
- insert "../../Rigi.data/Components/footer.html"
Here is the script used for all pages excluding the .shtml files:
#!/bin/sh
#- remove newlines:
tr '\n' '$' | \
#- change page background colour to black
sed 's+body bgcolor="white"+body bgcolor="black"+' | \
#- change size of logo header
sed 's+w="575" h="115"+w="558" h="110"+' | \
#- chg 2nd row "col span" to 1
#- copy text only to next cell to the right
#- move buttons to former heading cell (2nd row, 1st col)
