These are some elvi for sites I find interesting and/or useful.
- GNU Make
- POSIX-compliant shell and utilities (e.g.,
grep,tr, and friends) - surfraw-tools (from one of my repos)
- surfraw (required for running the generated elvi, but not for building)
- GNU Bash (a few elvi use bash as the interpreter for their
.sh-infile) - GNU Wget
- HTML Tidy
- HTML-XML-utils
Make sure elvi/ exists before doing any of the following commands by running
mkdir elvi.
$ make # or make elvi
Generate all elvi. Generated elvi will be placed in elvi/.
$ make install # or make uninstall
Copy (or delete) elvi to ~/.config/surfraw/elvi.
$ make clean
Delete all generated elvi.
$ make clean-gen
Delete generated data files.
$ make clean-all
An alias for make clean clean-gen.
These elvi are generated from simple plaintext files whose contents correspond
to the arguments of mkelvis, with line comments.
Some elvi are simpler than others, taking ~3 lines in their .in file. These
are elvi that take no options and serve a similar function as surfraw bookmarks
with embedded "%s". The arguments usually correspond the basic form described
in the README of surfraw-tools, possibly with a --description=.
These may take options, and may have more complex build requirements than other
elvi (e.g., stack downloads the list of stackexchange sites and uses it to
populate its enum -site= option). May run arbitrary code when building.
Note: The input files for these elvi are executable, so they may be binary or
be executable scripts with a shebang.
This is a family of elvi whose input files are simple plaintext files similar
to "simple elvi" but require further processing. These input files are
converted to .gen-in files whose contents are the same as that of .in
files. No arbitrary code is run (except the build scripts in gen-scripts/
and Makefile recipes).
For sites that use MediaWiki. Provides a boolean -direct= option to specify
whether to go straight to a page matching the query.
These do not need building as they
534C
are written manually (hence the name).
Note: These are not installed by make install.
