Keywords and invalid 0 lines - Orion Pobursky - 2025-11-02
I'm considering implementing the following automatic upon submit edits:
- Remove all lines that consist of a single "0" and replace with a blank line
- Remove all lines that are "0 //" (i.e. a blank comment) and replace with a blank line
- If the last line is a single "0", remove completely
- Capitalize the first word for all keywords.
Thoughts?

If the search function is not case-sensitive, would this one really matter?
(And if the search function actually =is= case-sensitive, and I've not known this until now, then I'd argue for Title Capitalization, instead of Sentence Capitalization.)
Thanks!

Search is not case sensitive. This is more for consistency than anything else.

Sure, if you account for random whitespace after the "0" or the "0 //"
Can this be done also for all official files? (without having the go through the review process)

Thoughts?
if a line gets edited empty, will two consecutive empty lines also get shortened to one empty line?
(and empty last lines could be always deleted)

All submitted files get the following processing:
- Non-standard UTF-8 encoding gets fixed
- Extra white space on the front and back of the whole file is trimmed
- All line endings are changed to unix style (make it easier edit in code, they get changed back when downloaded)
- Extra white space on the front and back of each line is trimmed
- Multiple, consecutive newlines are squished into one new line.
- Except for the first line (the description), all extra white space between non-whitespace characters is squished to one space

A script has been written to do just this.
RE: Keywords and invalid 0 lines - Orion Pobursky - 2025-11-03
I reviewed the code. It seems I forgot that I have already implemented the stripping of blank comments (both "0" and "0 //") for new submits.
The script to fix existing parts has not yet been run (that will happen close to the next release).
