Mark’s tinkerings
22nd November 2002
Mark’s back, and he’s been tinkering. In addition to a whole bunch of changes made yesterday in response to Hixie’s markup critique, Mark now boasts php.net style shortcut URLs, an RDF powered about page and an automatically generated list of acronyms (in a semantically correct definition list). I use a similar technique (extracting structural markup tags using regular expressions) in my personal course notes—there’s something very rewarding about being able to extract information from a properly marked up document.
