Plucker Experiments continue

May 18 2003 | 1 min read

A few more cycles and I think I have the Plucker/Sitescooper stuff the way I want it. I also figured out why Fucked Company never rendered properly (it didn't on the old setup either.) I'm not sure if it is in the original HTML or an artifact of the Sitescooper conversion, but by the time Plucker gets to it, it has multiple <head> tags. I tried removing the extra by hand, and FC then correctly converted to Plucker format. I wrote a simple perl script that will remove all the head tags from an HTML document and am running that against the affected ones. I tried to write a regex that would remove all head tags after the first (using Regex coach) but found that variable length look-behinds aren't implemented. Damn. I could have done some kind of procedural looping and all that, but I didn't care that much and just did a bulk deleting of every <head> I found. I'm assuming that having 0 tags will cause Plucker less problem than multiples. We shall see. I'm hotsyncing that experiment now.
