Here is an old one:
Man arrives at hospital with a mangled leg. Doctor examines it and tells him: "That leg is in very bad shape. I try my best, but I can't be sure I may have to amputate". Later, when man first awakes from surgery, he asks the doctor about the results. The doctor says, "I have good news and bad news." The man groans then asks "Ok, give me bad news? The doctor says "I cut off the wrong leg." Man groans even more loudly and starts to cry. After he gets composed he asks "So, what is the good news?" The doctor says "the other leg is getting better".

Sheesh, this documentation revamp for GFX is a chore.
I'm going to build a wiki on github for it (I think? I was just told it was possible the other day) but I'd like to also provide an HTML copy so that it can be browsed offline.
That markdown is simple enough, but there's a directory full of it, and it does contain <a name="myanchor"></a> markers and links to other documents in the directory.
What I'd like to do ultimately is run some kind of script over the directory and a tool would convert each file to static HTML.
As I know web developers haunt this place, surely some of you know of such a tool? I hope?
Thanks in advance!

I use Markdown Monster: The Markdown Editor for Windows. It allows save to HTML, as well as cut and pasting of HTML and Markdown content. HTML is valid Markdown, BTW.
Love your articles. Your state-machines, and IOT stuff reminds me or writing dual printer controllers on Motorola 6801 or 6803s.
Now there are some resource constrained devices.

Thank you!
I've coded for 6800s and 6502s before. The 6800s were monitoring aluminum smelting "pot lines", while the 6502 was just what I cut my teeth on as an impressionable child.

Yeah, no. Not here.
That's not doable in a batch file, but how long would it take in C#? Given you're familiar with it?
--edit
Gimme some specs, we could make an article out of it It's not like I got something better to do.

I thought about. The most difficult part for my document would be the nested lists in the table of contents.
I'm going to try a tool Matthew Dennis suggested first. It looks like it may do what I need.

I'd start by considering rolling my own of course. The main problem I have with off-the-shelf solutions is that they resolve only the easy parts of a larger problem. And no one can solve a problem he doesn't have.
I don't know how I'd handle the nested items you mentioned.

Do you look up lists of five letter words on the internet?
Coming up with six five letter words from the top of my head seems to be my greatest challenge in life yet (well, after the CCC)

So now you like documentation!

Ravi says[^] that Wordle actually has two word lists that he also used in his version. I haven't searched for them, but they must be posted somewhere. What puzzles me is that when I play Ravi's version in hard mode, many words ending in -s or -ed aren't on the list and therefore can't be used as guesses. But when I play hard mode online, those words are acceptable. I assume they do this so that the daily word can be the same in both standard and hard mode.

In Hard mode, Wordle Anytime[^] only accepts guesses that are in the list of actual Wordle words. In Standard mode, it also accepts words in the secondary list of allowed guesses. In Easy mode, it lets you enter any combination of 5 letters.

Thanks for the explanation.

I don’t.
I try to recall words from my memory.
That is the challenge of Wordle.
|
|
|
|
|
I guess you'll get better after a few days, already got my combined words from two days + the winning words, which makes three words in total

My procedure:
a.) I'm going for a smoke and think of a starting word
b.) After entering the start word and depending on the number of hits, I go back smoking
All in all, wordl is an unhealthy game for me

Never tried it, thanks so much. Now I have a healthy start for tomorrow, no need to go for a smoke first

I always start with the same word. I don't know if it's good or bad, but it saves me having to think it through!
And, in answer to the original post about word lists: The Wordle list is in your browser. Wordle is written in JavaScript and includes all the words - there's no server side stuff. I've never used it, but I did on one occasion, (when on my last go - with no 'real' word options), resort to Googling different combinations until I hit a real word.
Today's was an 'interesting' one - got it in four without cheating.

I also thought about that, but it's not an option for me.
The reason why I'm doing this game is to give my brain some tasks to keep alive with other stuff than programming and mabye to learn then and when a new word.
I'm cheating in a way while using Englisch ⇔ Deutsch Wörterbuch - leo.org: Startseite[^] to cross check, because I'm not native English.

There's, very usefully, a colour-blind setting.

Going, smoke, drink, after, start...
