React adoption checklist

[Michael Lamparski]

Here I keep a list of things I need to come back to during the React refactor.

• Make tips work again.
• Use refractor to highlight
• Replace globalNames with React state.
• Completely exorcise data-name, data-link, NameResolver and LinkResolver.
• Think about data-tip. Maybe we still need this?
• Convert markdown extensions to components
• Do we need to be more careful with reading window.location.hash?
• delete postprocessConvertedMarkdown
• Fix the copypasta at the bottom of the various tables.js
• table-footnotes
• look at remark-footnotes who cares
• fix all tipshow/tiphide
• render links
• change all anchored headings to use {#id}
• make sure there's no automatic header ids (probably an option somewhere)
• why does the ins table have borders
• Disabling of nested tooltips inside tooltip bodies needs to be reimplemented as a remark plugin (part of the :::is-tip logic)
• fix highlighting of current page in navbar again
• perform a check at runtime for any bad directives

  // find a custom element beginning with "exp-"
  let result = document.evaluate( "//*[starts-with(name(),'exp-')]", document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null ).iterateNext();
  

• change preventOverzealousTextDirectives into a plugin that operates only on text nodes changed the syntax to :ref{r=...} instead
• how to reset scroll on new page?
• scrolling to anchor
• <div class="gear">
• stats
• layer viewer
• couldn't parse ref :ref{r=anm:resampleMode tip=0}
• 404 on bad page
• "See the table entry for more details" was lost from tips

Things from the second rewrite:

• Update the other tables besides STD
• toolips are weirdly positioned due to async content...
• settings page
• markdown pages
• truth maps
• redirect to new HashRouter urls
• fix old links in MD not using HashRouter urls
• "Show more" has the wrong cursor again
• HTML in MD not working

Things to double check at the end:

• Check appearance of everything:
  • headless-table
  • table-footnotes
  • title
  • c
  • ref in inline-code: see resampleMode
  • tip with newlines in body: see furiTip
  • stats table
  • 404 on bad page
  • more...
  • embedded video
• scroll positions:
  • follow link to instruction
  • follow link to instruction, hit back button (should go back to original scroll) (this was already broken)
  • with an anchor in the current url, scroll away from anchor, go to another page and hit back (should not return to anchor) (this was already broken)
  • with an anchor in current url, scroll away from anchor, and hit refresh (should not return to anchor) (this was already broken)
  • scroll down, navigate to other page: should reset scroll to top
  • follow a link to an instruction in the same table but another game (e.g. randMode)
