Wikipedia on the terminal

Usually, I no longer post about newly merged packages but, this one looks like something others would perhaps like to use.

I've just packaged and merged wiki-tui, https://github.com/Builditluc/wiki-tui
Look for it in pkgsrc/www/wiki-tui,

If you'd like my config file here you go,

# config.toml

[api]
base_url           = "https://en.wikipedia.org/" 

[theme]
background         = "#282828"
title              = "#FAC863"
highlight          = "#484848"
highlight_inactive = "#606060"
highlight_text     = "#C0C5CE"
text               = "#C0C5CE"
search_match       = "#A6BC99"

[logging]
enabled            = false
log_dir            = "/home/pin/.local/share/wiki_tui.log" # location of the file where the log will be written to
log_level          = "Error" # log level to be used, can be Debug, Info, Warn, Error

Just place it in ~/.config/wiki-tui

pin this is going to prove super useful

There is also fuse-wikipediafs 🤣

nia Thanks for the hint, nice to know.
Although, last release 0.4 in 2010 and dependency on python-2 🤔

I was actaully looking for something like thise a while ago. I found something called wiki-cli but I never got around to installing it (and it's not been updated in 2 years). This looks nice, although I do prefer a cli to a tui. Nevertheless, I'll install this and give it a try.

Thanks

Update: I dig it.

But why is my ascii logo skewiff... 🤨

pfr I have no clue, does it do the same on other terminals, or is this only on xst?

EDIT: Actually, what version of wiki-tui? The one on my screenshot is v3.5 on xterm.
I've updated the package yesterday to v4.0 and have the same issue as you on xterm

Just tried v4.0 on kitty, alacritty and xst, no issues on kitty or xst, it displays as it should. The output on alacritty looks fine before entering a search but it's all f***ked-up after that. Perhaps open an issue with upstream with some screenshots to describe the problem.

I just updated and installed it today so I'm guessing it's the latest but will check for you tomorrow. Still tweaking the voidbox.

JuvenalUrbino Thanks!

@pfr The issue with the ascii has nothing to do with which terminal you are using. It has to do with the geometry of the terminal, see on these screenshots

Same terminal, slightly different geometry 😉

pin This is the result of the code trying to centre each line of text. Try making each of those
logo lines the same length by adding spaces to the end. Or, disabling the centring altogether.

rvp Done, https://github.com/Builditluc/wiki-tui/issues/10
Thanks!

rvp

pin Nice! So, trailing blanks are preserved. I was wondering if they would be: when you centre-align text, you typically only preserve leading blanks.

rvp Yeah, it works.

rvp

pin That should make our antipodean friend happy.

rvp Well, ~~he has to wait for a new release or patch it locally~~ https://github.com/Builditluc/wiki-tui/releases/tag/v0.4.2
