Converting diary-foo.html to diary-foo.php

Version of 20 January 2026

Replace header with something like:

<!-- for Emacs, this is a -*- mode: html-fill; coding: utf-8 -*- document -->
<!-- $Id: burnt-out-socket.php,v 1.1 2023/01/16 02:14:36 grog Exp $ -->
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<?php
   /* title should start with a lower case character */
   $title = "burnt out pump power socket";
   include "header.php";
   $subtitle = "";
   javaheader ();
   include "css.php";
   $id = '$Id: burnt-out-socket.php,v 1.1 2023/01/16 02:14:36 grog Exp $';
 ?>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <?php pagetitle ($title); ?>
  </head>

  <body>
    <?php pageheader ($title); ?>

    <div align="justify">

    1. Remove header, replace with: 
      <!-- for Emacs, this is a -*- html-fill -*- document -->
<!-- $Id: diaryconvert.php,v 1.3 2010/09/06 02:11:36 grog Exp grog $ -->
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<?php
  include "header.php";
?>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <head>
    <?php diary_title (); ?>
  </head>

  <body>
    <?php diary_header (); ?>

    <div align="justify">

      Optionally, add a different photo: 

      
 <?php diary_header ('src="/grog/Photos/19641219/tiny/greg-detail.jpeg" width="238" height="300"'); ?>

    2. Replace footer with: 
           </div>
    <?php diary_footer ($lastmonth, $nextmonth, '$Id: diaryconvert.php,v 1.3 2010/09/06 02:11:36 grog Exp grog $'); ?>
  </body>
</html>
    3. Add daytitles. Fix the following by replacing the month name and number. First is day 1-9, second the rest.

      New version, to be fixed: 

      
(query-replace-regexp "<h2><a name=\".\">.*, \\(.\\) August 2007</a></h2>

 *<center>
 *<i>\\(.*\\)</i>
 *</center>" "<?php daytitle (\"2007080\\1\", \"\\2\"); ?>")

(query-replace-regexp "<h2><a name=\"..">\">.*, \\(..\\) May 2007</a></h2>
 *<center>
 *<i>\\(.*\\)</i>
 *</center>" "<?php daytitle (\"200705\\1\", \"\\2\"); ?>")
    4. Replace img tags with showphoto. This needs fixing. Do each in sequence. New: 
      ;; rename small images

(query-replace-regexp "/small/" "/tiny/")

;;; convert the guts to showphoto
(query-replace-regexp " src=\"\\(.*\\)/tiny\\([^\"]+\\)\".*" "

<?php showphoto (\"\\1\\2\"); ?>")

;;; Remove crap before a showphoto

;;; (query-replace-regexp "      <a .*\"><img.*
;;; .*Click on the picture.*
;;;
;;;
;;; " "        ")


(query-replace-regexp ".*\"><img.*
.*Click on the picture.*
 *
 *
" "        ")

(query-replace-regexp ".*<a id=.*
\\( *<\\?php\\)" "\\1")
      Old: 
      (query-replace-regexp "<a.*<img.*
.*
.*src=\"\\(.*\\)tiny/\\([^\"]+\\)\".*" "<?php showphoto (\"\\1\\2\"); ?>" nil)

(query-replace-regexp "<a.*<img.*
.*src=\"\\(.*\\)tiny/\\([^\"]+\\)\".*" "<?php showphoto (\"\\1\\2\"); ?>" nil)

;; This one for gifs and things.

(query-replace-regexp "<img.*src=\"Images/\\([^\"]+\\)\".*" "<?php showphoto (\"Photos/\\1\"); ?>" nil)

;; This one for older diary entries.

 (query-replace-regexp "<h2><a name=\"..\">.*, \\(..\\) August 2002</a></h2>"
"<?php daytitle (\"200208\\1\", \"XXX\"); ?>")) nil)

(query-replace-regexp "``" "“" nil (if (and transient-mark-mode mark-active)
(region-beginning)) (if (and transient-mark-mode mark-active) (region-end)))

(query-replace-regexp "''" "”" nil (if (and transient-mark-mode mark-active)
(region-beginning)) (if (and transient-mark-mode mark-active) (region-end)))
