`*[TERM]: expansion` on its own line, PHP Markdown Extra's form, and every whole-word use in the document becomes <abbr title="…">. A transformer rather than an inline parser, because a definition may appear after the use it explains and a parser only ever sees what it has already read. A block parser rather than a pattern found later, because the line has to stop being content — an author would notice that going wrong before anything else. Whole-word matching is the part that would have bitten: without it a definition of HTML quietly rewrites HTMLish and xHTML too, so both have cases. Code spans, autolinks, raw HTML and an already-expanded term are skipped, the longest definition wins where two could match, and the expansion is escaped into the attribute so a quoted phrase cannot end it. Definitions are document-scoped. A term defined in a page does not reach an included fragment, which is parsed on its own bytes exactly as footnotes are — stated in content-model.md rather than left to be discovered. The nesting gate caught firstMatch four levels deep; the inner search is its own function now, which reads better than it did before the warning. core 2794/2800, ext 1483/2000, 34 gates green, 0 warnings.
examples/
demo-site/ is a complete khosra site, kept here to be read and served — the demonstration a person walks
through to see what the engine does, and the fixture the engine tests itself against (ADR-0051).
make demo # serves it at localhost:8080
khosra check -site examples/demo-site
It is content, not a fixture in disguise: every file is what an author would write. Two things keep it honest,
both in verify.sh:
TestTheExampleSiteExercisesEveryFeature(ininternal/web) serves this directory through the real handler and asserts one case per feature. A feature that changes shape breaks it.khosra checkruns over it and must report nothing fatal.
Adding a feature means adding it here, with a case in that test. A feature the example does not show is a feature nobody can see working, and the gates are what stop that from being optional.
What each part is for
| Path | Demonstrates |
|---|---|
site.yaml |
the two site-level settings: base and title |
content/posts/day-01…11 |
pagination — eleven dated posts against a page size of ten |
content/posts/first-light/ |
two languages, a directory bundle owning a picture, a figure with a caption |
content/posts/only-english |
the fallback chain, and a canonical link naming the variant actually served |
content/posts/renamed-thing/ |
slug moving an address, aliases keeping the old one working |
content/posts/unfinished |
a draft: invisible without -dev on |
content/posts/scheduled |
a future date: published by the clock, with nothing to run |
content/comics/the-long-monsoon/ |
a series — structural membership, sparse order, prev/next/first/last, an archive, and a landing page in two languages |
content/art/monsoon-studies/ |
a gallery: three JPEGs sized into a srcset, and an SVG left exactly as drawn |
content/writing/notes-on-water/ |
an include whose fragment has no URL, and an extras/ tree with a nested directory |
content/writing/typography |
what the engine does to prose, and what it deliberately does not |
content/pages/* |
undated bundles: reachable, and absent from every feed |
content/pages/bengali-only |
a bundle that exists in one non-default language only |
content/status/* |
a titleless bundle — legal, and the one check warning this site expects |
templates/list.html |
overriding a single named block and inheriting the document |
static/note.txt |
files served verbatim |
The one expected warning
khosra check reports the titleless status note. That is deliberate: titleless is legal, the theme falls back
to the bundle's key, and the warning exists so an author who did not mean it finds out. A fatal finding here
would fail verify.sh.
