Markdown parsing with Junie

Parsing md files for statistics

Iteration 1

Good

Prompt

Create a stand-alone rust script collect_data.rs that analyzes .md files from content/agents/

Gather the tags from each file and write them to contents/agents/_index.md. The tags are defined in a toml; example below

+++
tags = ['junie','fuzzier','kotlin']
title = 'Implementing a search improvement using Junie'
categories = 'agent-testing'
+++

Result

It collected unique tags from the files and wrote them as tags to the _index.md. Which again is fine, but now what I was looking for.

Iteration 2

Good

Prompt

Instead of collecting and writing unique tags to the content/agents/_index.md collect the amount of tags and display them as a table on the index file

Result

Nothing strange, it did what it was supposed to.

Iteration 3 (new task)

Good

Prompt

Let’s add a new layer of parsing to the collect_data.rs rust script

We should parse all instances of the following patterns in the .md files which it already processes:

An example of the shortcode structure. CBA to add it because it breaks generation

Basically parse these from the files: short_result="Good"

From this structure, we want to collect the short_value field values and the actual count of instances. This should then be mapped to the tag values that are already collected and displayed on the content/agents/_index.md

Result

It just works. Minor mistake on the categories toml.

Iteration 4

Good

Prompt

Add some styling to the markdown table in _index.md and order the short values based on the positivity

Result

Styling was done wrong.

Ordering was correct.

Iteration 5

Okay

Prompt

The styling / div does not work as expected. I’m using Hugo to generate the page, try the styling again

Result

A minor syntax error that prevented the style from loading, but otherwise it is working as expected.

Or so I thought, this had appeareded to my hugo.toml and is probably not the way that I want to handle this even if the end result was what I asked.

[markup]
  [markup.goldmark]
    [markup.goldmark.renderer]
      unsafe = true

I didn’t like the solution, so I used my own by adding a custom css file which provides the styling.

Conclusion

The actual Rust implementation is a bit heavy, but it does do what I hoped it would.

This was a nice to have so can’t complain.
