From fe2df90fea93a923885178ec250f0c9a5bf7ff99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH 01/16] feat: transform relative links to absolute paths
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fix <base href="/"> issue where #anchor links navigate to /#anchor.
The build now transforms relative links to absolute paths:
- #section → /blog/slug#section
- ../other-slug → /blog/other-slug
- ../other-slug#section → /blog/other-slug#section

Uses path.posix.resolve() for cross-platform path resolution.
linkBasePath is derived from folder structure (folder = URL path).

Also fixes: mailto:, tel:, ftp:// links are now correctly preserved
(isAbsoluteUrl uses /^\w+:/ regex to match all protocols).

Includes comprehensive documentation of URL transformation system.

+ * URL TRANSFORMATION SYSTEM
+ * ============================================================================
+ *
+ * This parser handles two types of URL transformations:
+ *
+ * 1. IMAGES (baseUrl with MARKDOWN_BASE_URL_PLACEHOLDER)
+ * -------------------------------------------------------
+ * Images use a placeholder that gets replaced at runtime by the Angular app.
+ * This allows serving images from different origins (CDN, local dev, etc.).
+ *
+ *   Markdown:  ![Alt](image.png)
+ *   Build:     <img src="%%MARKDOWN_BASE_URL%%/blog/my-slug/image.png">
+ *   Runtime:   <img src="https://cdn.example.com/blog/my-slug/image.png">
+ *
+ * The placeholder is replaced in the Angular app based on environment config.
+ * This decouples the build from the deployment target.
+ *
+ * 2. LINKS (linkBasePath for relative → absolute transformation)
+ * ---------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Links are transformed from relative paths to absolute paths at build time.
+ * This is necessary because Angular uses <base href="/"> which breaks
+ * relative anchor links (e.g., #section would navigate to /#section).
+ *
+ *   Markdown:  [Section](#section)
+ *   Build:     <a href="/blog/my-slug#section">
+ *
+ *   Markdown:  [Other Post](../other-slug)
+ *   Build:     <a href="/blog/other-slug">
+ *
+ *   Markdown:  [Other Section](../other-slug#intro)
+ *   Build:     <a href="/blog/other-slug#intro">
+ *
+ * The linkBasePath is derived from the folder structure:
+ *   blog/my-slug/README.md → linkBasePath = "/blog/my-slug"
+ *
+ * WHY TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES?
+ * - Images: Need runtime flexibility (CDN on prod, proxy during development)
+ * - Links: The Angular website mimics the folder structure of this repo.
+ *          blog/ content is served at /blog/, material/ at /material/.
+ *          That's why build-time resolution works: folder path = URL path.
+ *

Subject: [PATCH 02/16] feat: add automatic TOC generation with [[toc]] marker

- Add TOC_MARKER constant for [[toc]] placeholder
- Add generateToc() using getHeadingList() from marked-gfm-heading-id
- Add decodeHtmlEntities() for proper heading text display
- Include h2 and h3 headings, skip headings before marker
- Generate nested markdown list that gets processed normally

Also includes:
- Tests for mailto:, tel:, ftp:// links (not transformed)
- Tests for TOC generation (6 new tests)

+
+## Output
+
+Der Build erzeugt für jeden Artikel:
+
+| Output | Beschreibung |
+|--------|--------------|
+| `dist/blog/{slug}/entry.json` | Vollständiger Artikel mit HTML |
+| `dist/blog/list.json` | Liste aller Artikel (Light-Version) |
+| `dist/material/{slug}/entry.json` | Vollständiger Material-Eintrag |
+| `dist/material/list.json` | Liste aller Material-Einträge |

+
+## Features für Markdown-Autoren
+
+### 1. Bilder
+
+Relative Bildpfade werden automatisch transformiert:
+
+```markdown
+![Screenshot](screenshot.png)
+![Logo](./images/logo.png)
+```
+
+**Build-Output:**
+```html
+<img src="%%MARKDOWN_BASE_URL%%/blog/my-article/screenshot.png">
+```
+
+Der Placeholder `%%MARKDOWN_BASE_URL%%` wird zur Laufzeit durch die Angular-App ersetzt (CDN auf Prod, Proxy in Dev).
+
+**Nicht transformiert werden:**
+- Absolute URLs: `https://example.com/image.png`
+- Protokoll-relative URLs: `//cdn.example.com/image.png`
+- Asset-Pfade: `assets/img/icon.svg`
+- Absolute Pfade: `/images/logo.png`
+- Data-URIs: `data:image/png;base64,...`
+
+### 2. Links
+
+Relative Links werden zu absoluten Pfaden transformiert. Das ist notwendig, weil Angular `<base href="/">` verwendet.
+
+#### Anker-Links (TOC)
+
+```markdown
+[Einleitung](#einleitung)
+```
+
+**Build-Output:**
+```html
+<a href="/blog/my-article#einleitung">Einleitung</a>
 ```
 
-## URL Placeholder
+#### Cross-Article Links
 
-Generated URLs use `%%MARKDOWN_BASE_URL%%` as a placeholder:
-- `%%MARKDOWN_BASE_URL%%/blog/2024-post/image.png`
-- `%%MARKDOWN_BASE_URL%%/material/chapter-1/diagram.svg`
+```markdown
+[Anderer Artikel](../other-article)
+[Anderer Artikel mit Anker](../other-article#setup)
+```
+
+**Build-Output:**
+```html
+<a href="/blog/other-article">Anderer Artikel</a>
+<a href="/blog/other-article#setup">Anderer Artikel mit Anker</a>
+```
+
+**Nicht transformiert werden:**
+- Absolute URLs: `https://angular.io/docs`
+- Bereits absolute Pfade: `/blog/other-article`
+- mailto: `mailto:team@example.com`
+- tel: `tel:+49123456`
+- ftp: `ftp://files.example.com/file.zip`
+
+### 3. Automatisches Inhaltsverzeichnis (TOC)
+
+Platziere `[[toc]]` im Markdown, um ein automatisches Inhaltsverzeichnis zu generieren.
+
+#### Beispiel
+
+```markdown
+---
+title: Mein Artikel
+published: 2024-01-15
+---
+
+## Inhalt
+
+[[toc]]
+
+## Einleitung
 
-The consuming website replaces this placeholder with the actual base URL at runtime.
+Lorem ipsum...
 
-## Input/Output
+### Unterkapitel
 
-**Input:** `../blog/` and `../material/` folders with Markdown READMEs
+Mehr Text...
 
-**Output:** `./dist/` folder with:
-- `dist/blog/list.json` - Light blog list for overview
-- `dist/blog/{slug}/entry.json` - Full blog entry
-- `dist/material/list.json` - Light material list
-- `dist/material/{slug}/entry.json` - Full material entry
+## Fazit
+
+Ende.
+```
+
+#### Generierter Output
+
+```html
+<h2 id="inhalt">Inhalt</h2>
+<ul>
+  <li><a href="/blog/my-article#einleitung">Einleitung</a></li>
+  <li>
+    <ul>
+      <li><a href="/blog/my-article#unterkapitel">Unterkapitel</a></li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+  <li><a href="/blog/my-article#fazit">Fazit</a></li>
+</ul>
+```
+
+#### Regeln
+
+| Regel | Beschreibung |
+|-------|--------------|
+| **Nur h2 und h3** | h1 und h4+ werden ignoriert |
+| **Nach dem Marker** | Headings vor `[[toc]]` werden übersprungen |
+| **Automatische IDs** | Heading-IDs werden von `marked-gfm-heading-id` generiert |
+| **Sonderzeichen** | `Über uns` → `#%C3%BCber-uns`, `FAQ & Hilfe` → `#faq--hilfe` |
+
+### 4. Syntax-Highlighting
+
+Code-Blöcke werden automatisch mit highlight.js formatiert:
+
+````markdown
+```typescript
+const greeting = 'Hello World';
+console.log(greeting);
+```
+````
+
+### 5. Raw HTML
+
+HTML im Markdown wird unverändert durchgereicht:
+
+```markdown
+<div class="custom-box">
+  <p>Custom styled content</p>
+</div>
+
+<iframe src="https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular" width="100%"></iframe>
+```
+
+**Sicherheitshinweis:** Das ist beabsichtigt. Wir vertrauen unserem eigenen Repository. Es gibt keinen User-Generated Content.
+
+### 6. Emojis
+
+Emoji-Shortcodes werden zu Unicode konvertiert:
+
+```markdown
+Hello :smile: World :rocket:
+```
+
+**Output:** Hello 😄 World 🚀
+
+---
+
+## YAML Frontmatter
+
+Jeder Artikel benötigt YAML Frontmatter:
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: "Artikel-Titel"
+author: Max Mustermann
+mail: max@example.com
+published: 2024-01-15
+language: de
+header: header.jpg
+keywords:
+  - Angular
+  - TypeScript
+# Optional:
+lastModified: 2024-02-01
+hidden: false      # Artikel nicht in Liste anzeigen
+sticky: false      # Artikel oben anpinnen
+darkenHeader: false
+author2: Co-Autor
+mail2: co@example.com
+bio: Kurze Bio des Autors
+---
+```
+
+### Datum-Formate
+
+Beide Formate werden unterstützt:
+
+```yaml
+published: 2024-01-15              # Wird zu ISO-String konvertiert
+published: "2024-01-15T10:00:00Z"  # Bleibt als String
+```
+
+---
+
+## Entwicklung
+
+### Tests
+
+```bash
+npm test           # Einmalig
+npm run test:watch # Watch-Mode
+```
+
+131 Tests decken ab:
+- Markdown-Parsing und HTML-Generierung
+- Bild- und Link-Transformation
+- TOC-Generierung
+- Edge Cases (mailto, tel, CRLF, etc.)
+
+### TypeScript
+
+```bash
+npm run typecheck  # Typen prüfen
+```
+
+### Architektur
+
+```

+## Submodule-Hinweis
+
+Dieses Repository wird als Git-Submodule in `website-articles` eingebunden.
+
+**Änderungen immer hier vornehmen**, nicht im `build/`-Ordner des Parent-Repos!

Subject: [PATCH 07/16] refactor: replace marked-gfm-heading-id with inline
 fork

- Fork marked-gfm-heading-id to shared/gfm-heading-id/
- Convert to TypeScript with improved types
- Simplified API (removed unused globalSlugs option)
- Better entity handling (decode before slugging)
- Replace marked-gfm-heading-id dependency with github-slugger
- Remove now-empty types.d.ts
- Update README with github-slugger reference

The fork is only 100 lines and gives us full control over heading ID
generation. All 131 tests pass.

Subject: [PATCH 08/16] refactor: simplify TOC generation using h.raw from fork

- Remove decodeHtmlEntities() from JekyllMarkdownParser (now in fork)
- Use h.raw directly instead of decoding h.text
- Update comment to reference our gfm-heading-id fork

The fork provides heading.raw which is already decoded and stripped
of HTML tags, eliminating duplicate code.

Subject: [PATCH 09/16] refactor: major cleanup and simplification

Code Quality Improvements:
- Extract shared utilities to html.utils.ts (stripHtmlTags, decodeHtmlEntities, escapeHtml)
- Precompile regex patterns for better performance
- Simplify parse() return type (remove unused yaml/markdown fields)
- Update documentation to reference our gfm-heading-id fork

TOC Generation Simplification:
- Replace complex position-tracking algorithm with simple split approach
- Split markdown at [[toc]] marker, parse only content after it
- Reduces generateToc from 60+ lines to 30 lines
- More robust: no regex matching of heading text needed

Net result: -40 lines of code, cleaner architecture, same functionality.
All 131 tests pass.

- Move gfm-heading-id.ts out of subdirectory
- Add html.utils.spec.ts (45 tests)
- Add gfm-heading-id.spec.ts (24 tests)
- Add 5 TOC formatting tests
- Document HeadingData text vs raw separation
- Clarify slug terminology in base.types.ts

Total: 205 tests passing

  * Forked from: https://github.com/markedjs/marked-gfm-heading-id (v4.1.3)
  * Original license: MIT
  *
- * Changes from original:
+ * =============================================================================
+ * WHY WE FORKED
+ * =============================================================================
+ *
+ * The original package only provides the heading ID. We need more for TOC
+ * generation: both the formatted text (with HTML) AND the plain text.
+ *
+ * HeadingData provides two representations:
+ *
+ *   text: "Using <code>npm install</code>"   ← HTML preserved (for TOC links)
+ *   raw:  "Using npm install"                ← Plain text (for slug generation)
+ *
+ * Example: Markdown heading `## Using \`npm install\``
+ *
+ *   1. marked renders: "Using <code>npm install</code>"
+ *   2. We store this as `text` (used in TOC link display)
+ *   3. We strip HTML + decode entities → `raw` (used for ID generation)
+ *   4. github-slugger creates ID from raw → "using-npm-install"
+ *
+ * The TOC then shows formatted links:
+ *
+ *   <a href="#using-npm-install">Using <code>npm install</code></a>
+ *
+ * Without our fork, TOC links would lose all formatting:
+ *
+ *   <a href="#using-npm-install">Using npm install</a>  ← formatting lost!
+ *
+ * =============================================================================
+ * CHANGES FROM ORIGINAL
+ * =============================================================================
+ *
  * - Converted to TypeScript
  * - Simplified API (removed globalSlugs option - we always reset per document)
- * - Improved entity handling (decode before slugging, not after)
- * - Added HeadingData export for TOC generation
+ * - Added `text` field: HTML as rendered by marked (preserves <code>, <strong>, etc.)
+ * - Added `raw` field: Plain text with HTML stripped and entities decoded
+ * - Slug generation uses `raw` (decoded text, not HTML)

Subject: [PATCH 11/16] feat: add anchor link validation with fuzzy "did you
 mean?" suggestions

Build-time validation for broken anchor links:
- Collects all heading IDs during parsing
- Extracts all anchor links from HTML
- Validates links point to existing anchors
- Suggests similar anchors using Levenshtein distance (typo detection)
- Warnings only, does not fail the build

New files:
- string.utils.ts: Levenshtein distance + findSimilar (27 tests)
- link-validator.ts: Anchor validation logic (14 tests)

Changes:
- jekyll-markdown-parser.ts: Now returns headingIds
- base.utils.ts: Registers anchors and links during parsing
- build.ts: Runs validation at end of build

Total: 246 tests passing
