`::name{key=value}` alone on a line, quotes only where a value has spaces,
braces omitted when there are none. The old form cost eleven characters of
punctuation per call and could not carry a body, which admonitions will need.
Generic directives are an existing convention — remark-directive, MyST,
Docusaurus — so this is a syntax authors and tools already know rather than one
more invention, and it reserves `:::name` for containers and `:name[…]` for the
inline dynamic calls that come later.
Retired outright rather than aliased: two syntaxes is two parsers and two test
sets forever. `khosra check` reports every leftover call as fatal and names the
replacement, so migrating a site root is running it until it exits zero — proven
on an unmigrated root, which exits 1 with the file and the fix.
The trigger byte moves from `{` to `:`, which prose uses constantly, so the
parser refuses `3::4`, `: a definition` and `:::note`, each with a case. The
definition-list parser sits at priority 101 and this one at 100, so it gets
first refusal and everything it rejects falls through.
Two things the syntax change would have broken silently. check's alt-text regex
still matched the old form, so the one accessibility check the engine has would
have stopped finding anything — it moves with the syntax and keeps its case. And
a test asserted that hostile arguments fail at the syntax because quotes cannot
be expressed; unquoted values are legal now, so it asserts the property that
actually holds: the fragment escapes them.
Demo migrated. core 2790/2800, ext 1077/2000, 34 gates green, 0 warnings.
The human asked for a demo extensive enough to review by hand, tracked as files,
and kept current the way docs are. Generated filler cannot be reviewed — you cannot
read a Go function and see what a reader sees — so the generator is deleted and
`examples/demo-site/` is an ordinary site: 33 Markdown files, six pictures,
site.yaml, a template override and static files.
My reason for generating it was ADR-0011, and I had that rule wrong: it puts the
*author's site root* outside this repository, not fixtures. conventions.md already
keeps golden files in testdata/, and this is the same category one size up. Keeping
both a generator and files would have been two sources of truth, so one had to go.
Kept true by two gates rather than by good intentions. A table-driven test in
internal/web serves the directory through the real handler with one case per
feature — thirty-five of them, each naming what it proves — and verify.sh runs
`khosra check` over it and fails on anything fatal. Adding a feature now means
adding it to the demo and adding its case, and the build says so if you don't.
Extensive on purpose: eleven dated posts so a section actually paginates, a
four-chapter series so first/last are not the neighbours, a gallery with three
JPEGs and an SVG so both the resampled and the untouched paths show, a Bengali-only
bundle, a titleless status, a draft, a future date, an include, a nested extras
tree, and a typography page that demonstrates what the engine will not do.
Two expectations of mine were wrong and the demo corrected them: the site's own
list template overrides *tag* listings too, so there are no group headings there —
which turns out to be the better demonstration of ADR-0046, since the theme picking
the flat shape is exactly the point. And template literal text is not escaped, so
an apostrophe stays an apostrophe.
