Shouldn't it be called Githubhtml?

I mean, it has virtually nothing to do with git.

the rendered pages are not very accurate, they seem deformed.

Edit: I'm working on a fix for this. I see the bootstrap page is deformed.

This has a really big security flaw, if the creator wanted to be mischievous he could change his js file to do things to your logged in github account, for example set your privet repositories public.

If you want to use it you should fork it and change to bookmarklet to use your fork of the js file.

redment5• 14 years ago

Though I'd never do such a thing, your point is completely valid.

And I would always lean to the side of trust in people, I wouldn't expect you or most people here to abuse it.

Its a little bit of a pet hate, the suggested linking to JavaScript files in another persons repository. The worst was the HTML5 Shim, for a long time they suggested linking directly to their svn repo, fortunately they don't now. It was about the same time people started thinking about using the google cdn for javascript libraries and so people just did it thinking they were helping their page load times when in fact they were compromising the security of their users and themselves.

This seems like a lot of code... Here's what I use:

    javascript:void(document.body.innerHTML = document.getElementsByTagName("pre")[0].innerHTML.replace(/&amp;/g,"&").replace(/&lt;/g,"<").replace(/&gt;/g,">").replace(/&nbsp;/g," "));

(Note: I've only tested this on Chrome.)

Most of the code is for mapping css and js files to the relative raw pages.

Try your code on this page: https://raw.github.com/mrdoob/three.js/46c0a8434d3f269741a88...

And compare it with githtml on the /blob/ version of the same page: https://github.com/mrdoob/three.js/blob/master/examples/canv...

CSS works fine. (Try this one: https://raw.github.com/twitter/bootstrap/master/docs/index.h...)

I suspect that JS that didn't depend on the page-load to trigger it would work too. I had never considered looking at JS-enabled pages though. When I wrote my bookmarklet, I just needed to view static documentation.

Edit: I found a page with only on-click JS events, and they didn't work. Oh well...

Nifty!

kmfrk2• 14 years ago

Pretty cool. Can't wait until someone converts this to an extension.

redment5• 14 years ago

I'm working on that right now. Both for Chrome and FF.

kmfrk2• 14 years ago

Cool. How do you plan on releasing it? Through the repo?

grimtrigger• 14 years ago

This would be awesome as a webapp. I have to demo pages to non technical people, so the bookmarklet/snippet is a non-starter.

_jb• 14 years ago

I have been working on this and I decided to finish / publish it today.

This is great!,

There has ben more than a few times that I've wished to be able to do this while browsing trough random github repos, kudos to the developer, this looks very handy!

A few months back I created a bookmarklet to render the html when looking at the raw html page -- https://gist.github.com/1831405

I've ended up using this bookmarklet on a lot of non-github.com sites too.

For instance, you can see how it renders http://c.sente.cc/hcVg/xkcd.txt here: http://i.imgur.com/DNVqd.png

here's the code in snippet form:

  javascript:function write_window(content) {top.consoleRef=window.open(%27%27,%27git-r-done%27,+%27,menubar=1%27+%27,toolbar=1%27+%27,status=1%27+%27,scrollbars=1%27+%27,resizable=1%27);top.consoleRef.document.writeln(content);top.consoleRef.document.close();}function dostuff() {$.ajax({url: document.location.href,dataType:%27html%27,success: function(content){setTimeout(function(){write_window(content)},500);}});}function add_jquery(attempt) {var jq=document.createElement(%27script%27);jq.type=%27text/javascript%27;jq.async=false;jq.src=%27https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js%27;var s=document.getElementsByTagName(%27script%27)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(jq,s);try{var foo=$(%27*%27);dostuff();}catch(err){if(attempt < 5){attempt = attempt + 1;setTimeout("add_jquery("+attempt+")",1000)}else{alert(%27could not load jquery..try again!%27);}}}add_jquery(0);
