@timotheecour and I came up with a solution to a common problem:
How to represent multiple files in a forum post?
So we decided to take a stab at creating a standard! (queue
links to https://xkcd.com/927)
We're calling it "har" (inspired by the name tar). Here's the
REPO: https://github.com/marler8997/har and here's what it
looks like:
--- file1.d
module file1;
--- file2.d
module file2;
// some cool stuff
--- main.d
import file1, file2;
void main() { }
--- Makefile
main: main.d file1.d file2.d
dmd main.d file1.d file2.d
The repo contains the standard in README.md and a reference
implementation for extracting files from a har file (archiving
not implemented yet).
One of the great things is when someone creates a post with
this format, you can simply copy paste it to "stuff.har" and
then extract it with `har stuff.har`. No need to create each
individual file and copy/paste the contents to each one.
Is this going to change the world? No...but seems like a nice
solution to an minor annoyance :)
how does it mix with markdown, html etc ?
They'll have to use escapes to be compliant, haven't they ?
