# 
Zegnat anyone know if there is a simple way to test a new TravisCI config for https://github.com/microformats/php-mf2/ or is my best bet to just make a commit & PR to trigger a run and go from there?
# 
[jgmac1106] how could I do something similar from my own website, have links to media as hotspots to regions on an image: https://www.thinglink.com/scene/1315166870969516033 feels be intimidating
# 
jeremycherfas Blank page with no js; is that what you want?
# [jgmac1106] no I want to link media files to specific regions of an image
# [jgmac1106] probably way too hard but I wanna keep that one....web is littered with tons of art that is now nothign more than a 404
# jeremycherfas I remember in the old days, people would slice up an image into the cells of a table, and some of those cells were links;
# jeremycherfas I did that myself, to make a page that looked like a card index have index tabs that "worked".
# [jgmac1106] table with a background img.....would still work...awful on mobile but maybe I could think of query that could resize....hmmmmmm
# [jgmac1106] Can I do same with CSS Grid? link an entire cell and have a background img on the grid?
# jeremycherfas Maybe
# jeremycherfas I don't know enough about CSS grid.
# [jgmac1106] may play with this idea this weekend...too intriguing need to walk away now before suddenly it is dark and I did nothing
# [jgmac1106] be hard though with resizing on mobile with a background img, may have to do a media query to strip links and display in a ul there...
# jeremycherfas Wouldn't the background img just be 100%?
# jeremycherfas That looks cool too [jgmac1106]
# [jgmac1106] yeah, but if the links were in grid cells...ohhh this is where i wish I knew more of the mathy kind of CSS Grid
# [jgmac1106] yeah but how do you know the cords just peck and guess? knew it be above me, but may have a website goal, need to do a Grid activity or much of the knowledge will fade
# [jgmac1106] I could lay grid lines in photoshop to determine regions...not something one could do often, seems quite labor intensive, but this maybe doable
# jeremycherfas No need to hunt and peck. If you draw what you want on gridded paper. If you look at the CSS for that demo, it is pixel based.
# jeremycherfas As I recall, in the old days PS had a function that would automagically slice and dice an image for you for exactly that purpose.
# [jgmac1106] cool...bad weather weekend project...we could even wake up to snow
# [jgmac1106] okay now a new path: https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-make-an-image-map-using-photoshop
# jeremycherfas There it is. Still there after all these years.
# [jgmac1106] jeremycherfas++ thx for brainstorming with me...I need to stop.....ugggh lame OGP stockphotos
# jeremycherfas No worries; fun to dig deep into the memories.

[KevinMarks] Another way to do it would be svg, either by redrawing it or by overlaying shapes to define the links
# [LewisCowles] imagemap++ I'm so surprised you liked them tantek
# [LewisCowles] The first WYSIWYG pages I made were image maps because microsoft publisher 97 only exported for web as image maps
# [LewisCowles] They sure are. I was certain they had accessibility issues though

# [rjpc] Hey all! Curious about some "not secure" warnings about images I'm getting browsing the wiki. Do you think it's worth it having those images under https? I feel the "not secure" warnings on certain browsers can scare people off. Anyway, glad to help in any way and two cheers for the indie web
# [LewisCowles] rjpc, if you have your own site setup to use via indieauth, you can login and make edits
# jeremycherfas I've not used it to do this job, and it is yet another thing to add friction, but pandoc can create good HTML from a word file.
# [LewisCowles] I think otherwise links in meta might help
# [LewisCowles] jeremycherfas. Ah Interesting. I'd not considered that. It's going to take me ages to go through existing posts in editor flow
# [LewisCowles] and there are only about 50 of them
# jeremycherfas No, wait. I may be wrong on that.
# [LewisCowles] TBH I'm not certain it has feature parity with even the limited HTML I'm using
# jeremycherfas It doesn't seem to be there on the dropdown at the pandoc live demo site. Need to check full documentation.
# [LewisCowles] i know unoconv moves between HTML and docx
# jeremycherfas Pandoc might not do it in one step. But it will go docx -> markdown -> HTML
# [LewisCowles] oh that is wonderful
# jeremycherfas How clean is the unoconv output?
# [LewisCowles] it'd preserve my headings
# [LewisCowles] and get rid of some noise
# [LewisCowles] unoconv is a mess, it's the kind of output that needs manual processing
# [LewisCowles] I use it to convert government PDF's to docx, so that they are text searchable
# jeremycherfas Yeah; presentation probably doesn't matter that much with those. I reckon the two-step process is probably the best you will get.
# [LewisCowles] Right now I'm dual screening, so I'm taking the HTML I author flat, opening it in a browser, and copy->pasting to word to check
# [LewisCowles] it's not ideal
# jeremycherfas One other suggestion; go from HTML to Markdown. Convert the markdown to docx (easy!) look at the docx in Word and go back to Markdown with Pandoc. That would give you good HTML

[chrisaldrich] This New Yorker cartoon kind of captures how I feel about how my website may look versus the view source version that people hopefully never look at... https://media.newyorker.com/cartoons/5eb2ba0869e8cb02813d5f98/master/w_600,c_limit/A24226.jpg

# fuzzyBear hey guys
# fuzzyBear nybody still up? I got a daft question if somebody wishes to indulge a student
# fuzzyBear consider this function
# fuzzyBear function reverseStringOne(string)
{ let reversed = ""; //Where the reversed string will be held for(index = string.length-1; index >=0; index--){ //Starting the loop at the end of the string, ending when the string hits 0, we are decreasing the count reversed += string[index]; //Adding each letter to the reversed string } return reversed;//Returns the string reversed }# fuzzyBear (that didnt work)
# fuzzyBear function reverseStringOne(string)
{ let reversed = ""; //Where the reversed string will be held for(index = string.length-1; index >=0; index--){ //Starting the loop at the end of the string, ending when the string hits 0, we are decreasing the count : reversed += string[index]; //Adding each letter to the reversed string } return reversed;//Returns the string reversed }# fuzzyBear ahh
# fuzzyBear cheers man, read my mind

# fuzzyBear @[tw2113] yeh man,
# fuzzyBear I hope that link workd
# fuzzyBear in the second method I used the string higher functions which I am still trying to get my head around
# fuzzyBear does the order which you write out the return string.split().reverse().join() go in that order
# fuzzyBear lol
# fuzzyBear i get your point man
# fuzzyBear cheers bud
