10:07:02 <gour> morning 10:18:03 <gour> back to working on Nikola and site's content...i use typogrify filter and when i use the following '---' (em-dash) in my editor (Emacs), Nikola renders is as '—-', so it looks as it does not transform it into em-dash, but en-dash+'-' ? 10:21:38 <gour> i see that the problem is with smartypants which transforms '---' into '—-' 10:26:05 <gour> well, the easiest solution is to simply use Emacs' package (typo) which does filtering and produces correct markup...python's smartypants does not look well maintained 10:33:14 <gour> maybe it means i do not have use for typogrify filter then... 10:48:27 <KwBot> [nikola] kayhayen closed issue #2520: Should remove site dir from PYTHONPATH. https://github.com/getnikola/nikola/issues/2520 11:31:32 <ChrisWarrick> gour: complain to that filter, or let emacs do it 11:47:33 <gour> ChrisWarrick: filter seems to be not developed further...and Emacs does the job ;) 12:10:10 <gour> any idea about this one: https://bpaste.net/show/f62b6f7a91ec ? 12:21:52 <ralsina> gour: smartypants has different settings for which dashes convert to what 12:22:01 <ralsina> usually "--" converts to em-dash 12:22:33 <gour> ralsina: hmm, and what about en-dash then? 12:22:47 <ralsina> "-" 12:22:49 <ralsina> IIRC 12:23:05 <ralsina> Basically, there's no reason to have a regular dash in english text 12:23:17 <gour> hmm, the docs says otherwise... --endash, ---emdash 12:23:37 <gour> i was spooiled logn ago with latex :-) 12:24:16 <gour> see the docs: http://pythonhosted.org/smartypants/introduction.html 12:24:50 <gour> in our language, there is place for all three... 12:33:40 <gour> tried to rm .doit.db, cleared the cache...but it does not help 12:59:12 <ralsina> ok then 13:03:29 <ralsina> gour: it seems python smartypants by default does "--" to em-dash and nothing else 13:03:47 <ralsina> gour: so, it is what it is 13:04:39 <ralsina> gour: and here's the reference on how to change that behaviour http://pythonhosted.org/smartypants/reference.html#smartypants-module 13:05:00 <ralsina> (BTW, the way to change the behaviour is a whole new level of WTF) 13:05:14 <ralsina> It coud be nice to offer a setting to tweak those, I guess 13:11:30 <ChrisWarrick> ralsina: there is a reason for - in technjcal texts 13:12:06 <ChrisWarrick> but either eay, just get a better keyboard layout with fancy dashes and “quotes” 13:18:13 <gour> any idea about that PythonAction Error I pasted above? 13:18:28 <gour> build -a fails as well 13:40:08 <ChrisWarrick> gour: One of your posts has a reST syntax error. 13:40:25 <ChrisWarrick> Probably one using the thumbnail directive. 13:40:27 <gour> uhh, one space at the beginning of line containing '.. thumbnail' directive 13:41:03 <gour> :-)
