25 hours	Never give two headings the same anchor	Bryce Kwon	-6/+13
	A repeat's count was keyed on the bare text, so a heading whose text already ended in that count took the same anchor, as "Twice 1" did after two of "Twice", and "About 1" after "About". A link to either then landed on the first. The count now goes on up past any anchor already handed out, the way GitHub's slugger does.
3 days	Say that an about page needs a readme line	Bryce Kwon	-1/+2
	Without one a repository has no about tab and its about url redirects to the summary, so a site that sets only about-filter never sees the renderer run.
6 days	Point the install notes at distribution packages	Bryce Kwon	-4/+4
	Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and Alpine package luaossl, luaposix and lpeg for the Lua versions they ship, which leaves LuaRocks for the rest. Scintillua comes as a release zip whose lexers directory is what the filter looks for, so its steps say where to put that.
6 days	Name a missing Lua module in the error log	Bryce Kwon	-1/+5
6 days	Keep counting across a split ordered list	Bryce Kwon	-1/+8
9 days	Carry a man page's text as plain strings	Bryce Kwon	-23/+16
	lpeg's constant, query and numbered captures already do what the token helpers did, and nothing ever read the tokens of an escape that draws nothing.
9 days	Take a no fill line's plain text from its nodes	Bryce Kwon	-7/+1
9 days	Wrap a man page's font runs as the macros do	Bryce Kwon	-27/+11
9 days	Reuse the digit pattern where it is spelt out	Bryce Kwon	-2/+2
9 days	Build the block start test from the line grammars	Bryce Kwon	-2/+1
9 days	Count a rule among the blocks that end a paragraph	Bryce Kwon	-7/+4
9 days	Inline the list check before indented code	Bryce Kwon	-6/+2
9 days	Read a setext heading's level off its capture	Bryce Kwon	-10/+4
9 days	Build every code block in one place	Bryce Kwon	-17/+11
9 days	Replace a readme's NUL bytes in one substitution	Bryce Kwon	-19/+3
9 days	Let the dispatch serve markdown without lpeg	Bryce Kwon	-5/+0
	Without lpeg both renderers stay nil, and the handler lookup already falls back to plain text for a format it has no renderer for.
9 days	Render markdown and man pages through one function	Bryce Kwon	-28/+18
	Everything that can raise already runs inside the parse and emit pcalls, so the outer one in filter_close could only ever have sent the page a second time.
9 days	Drop three needless forward declarations	Bryce Kwon	-9/+3
9 days	Drop fallbacks for a match that cannot fail	Bryce Kwon	-3/+3
	A table capture of a pattern repeated zero or more times matches every string, the empty one included, so the inline grammars never return nil.
9 days	Drop the readme hooks that nothing reads	Bryce Kwon	-14/+7
	Nothing in assets/ or in README's list of hooks reads a fenced block's data-lang or the manpage class on a man page's wrapper.
12 days	Render the man pages that generators write	Bryce Kwon	-52/+188
	DocBook, pod2man and hand written pages leaked roff onto the page. Font escapes inside no fill blocks, comments, layout escapes such as \% and \c, the colours and half line moves around DocBook's links, and the requests and macro definitions their preambles open with all showed through. Those now draw nothing, the common named characters and strings render, .EX and pod2man's .Vb read as code, a .TP tag takes a line of its own and the alternating font macros switch fonts between their arguments. Anything rarer still falls back to its text.
12 days	Render more of the markdown seen in readmes	Bryce Kwon	-19/+105
	A line of equals signs or dashes under a paragraph now makes a heading of it, as on GitHub, instead of running into its text, and any other rule ends the paragraph. Four spaces or a tab start a code block, and an escaped pipe stays in its table cell. A link opening with two slashes or backslashes in any mix leads to another site, so it renders as text like the plain scheme relative one already did.
12 days	Keep a readme whole past a NUL byte	Bryce Kwon	-2/+20
	cgit takes filter output through a C string sink that stops at the first NUL, so a readme holding one lost everything after it. Each NUL now shows as U+FFFD, as a browser would show it.
2026-10-07	Claim and test Lua 5.5 for every extension	Bryce Kwon	-1/+1
	luaossl from release 20260910 and luaposix load under Lua 5.5, and cgit renders the same pages under it as under LuaJIT. Running the suites there already caught a write to a for loop's control variable, which 5.5 makes read-only.
2026-10-03	Drop the table loop's dead blank-line test	Bryce Kwon	-1/+1
	A line holding a pipe is never blank.
2026-10-02	Give readme headings anchors like GitHub's	Bryce Kwon	-1/+36
	A readme's links to its own sections, as in a table of contents, had nothing on the page to land on.
2026-10-02	Keep underscores inside words out of emphasis	Bryce Kwon	-4/+9
2026-10-02	Let character references through to the browser	Bryce Kwon	-2/+17
	Decoding them here instead would mean carrying every named reference HTML defines, while the browser already knows them all.
2026-10-01	Honour backslash escapes in readmes	Bryce Kwon	-1/+3
2026-10-01	Link the urls and addresses in angle brackets	Bryce Kwon	-1/+18
2026-10-01	Keep a wrapped list item in its list	Bryce Kwon	-8/+20
	The item's second line became a paragraph of its own and the items after it a new list, so an ordered list started counting again.
2026-10-01	Let a table cut a paragraph short	Bryce Kwon	-2/+15
	A table written right under a line of text came out as more of the paragraph, pipes and all.
2026-10-01	Run a paragraph's lines together like GitHub	Bryce Kwon	-10/+33
	GitHub shows a single newline in a markdown file as a space, and roff fills the lines of a man page the same way, so text wrapped in the source came out ragged on the about page.
2026-09-29	Leave images and badges out of rendered readmes	Bryce Kwon	-21/+28
	A relative image loaded from below the about page, which answers 404 now, and a remote one had every visitor's browser call a third party. A badge also came out as a link to its own image, wrapped in stray brackets.
2026-09-29	Lead a readme's relative links into the tree	Bryce Kwon	-6/+55
	A browser resolved them against the about page, where nothing lives now that the page answers 404 below itself. They resolve the way GitHub resolves a readme's links instead, from the readme's directory and on the branch it was read from.
2026-09-29	Trim readme lines in linear time	Bryce Kwon	-2/+26
	The heading pattern backtracked over a run of spaces in cubic time and the cell trim in quadratic time, so one crafted line in a readme could hold a request for half an hour, well inside the size cap. The heading rule now also keeps a sharp that ends a word, as in "# C#".
2026-09-15	Unify the docs, samples and extensions	Bryce Kwon	-23/+57
2026-09-07	Clean up the whole tree	Bryce Kwon	-18/+9
2026-09-06	Trim the comments and dead code across the tree	Bryce Kwon	-54/+37
2026-08-17	Restyle the filter extension headers and markup	Bryce Kwon	-270/+315
2026-08-01	Trim the lua headers and fix the Scintillua notes	Bryce Kwon	-13/+0
2026-07-31	Reorganise the tree into vendor/ and custom/	Bryce Kwon	-0/+0
2026-07-25	Swap the browser markdown renderer for a filter	Bryce Kwon	-0/+592
	The readme is now escaped plain text unless about-filter points at the new about-render.lua, which renders markdown, man pages and plain text server-side. The enable-markdown setting goes away with the renderer.
