i thought some of you -- maybe gardner in particular -- might enjoy
viewing sample output (from "alice") of my "indented-lines" routine,
so i've appended the report to this post...
the top half of the report lists the qualified lines in this format:
file-line# --- # of blank lines --- # of leading spaces --- the line
file-line# --- # of blank lines --- # of leading spaces --- the line
file-line# --- # of blank lines --- # of leading spaces --- the line
if the file-line# of the next report-line is 4 or more greater than
the file-line# of the previous report-line, a dashed-line is printed.
otherwise, report-lines are printed in sequence, without dashed-line.
this has the effect of placing adjacent text-lines -- i.e., a "block" --
in a "group" that makes it particularly easy to see block qua block...
the bottom half of the report shows the qualifying lines sorted.
the report-lines starting with "|=06=|" and "|=10=====|" indicate
the text-lines with leading spaces in them, 6 and 10 respectively.
outputting them this way makes the number of spaces obvious,
and helps you to check that leading spaces were done correctly.
perusal of this sorted list shows things like chapter titles and
bracketed picture-captions sorting together, which is nice...
review of a report like this helps assure that the z.m.l. markup
has been applied properly to the file. such a report would also,
of course, be useful to a researcher studying poetry, for example.
even though the poetry hasn't been "marked up" as poetry per se
-- because, hey, such judgments aren't really necessary, are they? --
the plain-text format allows for a very easy extraction of the poems.
it contains other stuff as well, but that's not too difficult to clean up.
as a final note, to gardner, if all the flaming hasn't driven you away,
i will respond to your point about sourceforge next week, but my sense
is that -- given a report like this to emulate -- most programmers would
find it easier to code this rather elementary routine from scratch than to
try to figure out my code (written in basic) to "port" it to their language...
i'll have more to say on the matter next week, along more philosophical lines,
but i thought i'd bring this practical matter to your attention to chew on too...
