Index page updated: 1396 pages indexed, 463 tags defined I've changed selectable items’ <span> underpinnings with <a href="#"> for better compatibility with some mobile browsers, as suggested by snipertom. This hasn't broken anything for me on mainstream browsers, but I lack “mobile” to see if anything has improved there. Feedback, please, if you see any difference.

Well, I haven’t had any negative feedback yet. Actually I haven't had any feedback at all on this.
So at least that’s one satisfied punter...

Publication dates
I've added page publication dates to the chapter title pages from the main comic and to the first and last chapters' individual pages. Given Tom updates like clockwork, I'm inclined to keep the chapter dates as an interesting indication of time’s progress, but ditch the other, individual page, dates as clutter. Thoughts?

yes, I think limiting it to chapters and what you've done so far at least for now is probably better!

I may comment out the dailies’ date entries in the index.txt file I think, so the information collected so far is there if we want it, but it does not impinge on the web page. For the chapter dates I think I want to format them a bit differently, so they are distinguishable, I can add a description of what they are, but not as intrusive as present. CSS funtime |

CSS funtime Sounds great! My plan this Easter is hopefully to use codepen and debug some of handler.js and make some tweaks to the tag display. Has anyone had any issues that they can remember? I remember running into some odd quirky behaviour. |

Tag selection: I do sometimes see slow responses/pauses when repeatedly and multiply selecting and unselecting tags, which I then have to use a Clear All to reset.
Thnking about it a bit more: I see the problem more frequently on Misfile (more pages, fewer tags) and I think when unselecting in a different order of from selection. (Firefox)

CSS & tags
I've done some work on making the selected/active/hover colours of the tags a bit more consistent – Gunnerkrigg is suffering a bit of bleed-through from Misfile’s settings at present. I may make that live in the next couple of hours, but if not, probably tomorrow.

Proposal: tag name change from SunSymbol to GoldSymbol
The query about one of the Green Arrow symbols caused me to take a look though our Sun and SunSymbol tags.
The current SunSymbol tag is defined as for the alchemical Gold / Sun symbol, but I think we need a tag for other sun symbols - there are at least a couple of representations of the sun which are symbolic but not the alchemical sign.
I propose to change the tag for the alchemical symbol to GoldSymbol thus freeing up SunSymbol for the spiked circle, circle-in-cross, flame circle, ray’d circle, etc.
Alternatives?

If gin is involved, so much the better.  |

Well, the alchemical symbol is a sun symbol... Does your data model support aliases? Also maybe use more specific tags: SunSymbol-AlchemicalGold, SunSymbol-SpikedCircle, etc. |

As someone dealing with all sorts of data management, I'd be wary of aliases and over-determined tags: They'll be a pain to maintain.
And as someone with a passing interest in symbols, I'd suggest calling the alchemical gold a "sun symbol", but the spiked circle a "stylized sun". It's not really a symbol until it has a reference beyond what it depicts.

The tags are a simple flat structure. Each tag is an html class, with snipertom’s excellent javascript doing show/hide select tricks on the classes of pages listed on the index page. You can see the index’s source file on GitHub, for a clearer idea maybe (though it is often a week or two behind the live page). As the javascript allows multiple selection so we could just multi-tag the GoldSymbol with SunSymbol too, if there's a feeling it is important to tag it both ways, rather than relying on notes in the tag descriptions. SunSymbol is currently described thus: symbolic representations of the Sun other than GoldSymbol. GoldSymbol mentions the sun, but doesn’t link to SunSymbol, an oversight: corrected in the local copy of the tag descriptions, so probably live when I update for Monday’s page. If there's a strong feeling that anything tagged GoldSymbol should also be tagged with SunSymbol I can do that easy enough for existing pages with a quick search and replace. Remembering to tag the same thing twice in future may be a problem for taggers though, leading to inconsistency of practice – even when it is just me doing the tagging… On the interesting Stylised Sun vs Sun Symbol point, I wonder if it is an important distinction at the level of tagging we’re doing here? Pragmatically, using SunSymbol fits better with the tagging style of XxxxSymbol for other things and, to be very pragmatic indeed, fits the way this tagger thinks of the Wavy Sun, Spiked Sun, Faced Sun, Sun-in-cross, etc. Not a big deal to change it though if, as ever, people think it is a better way to tag. |

Ah, page dates… Could someone NOT in the UK be so kind as to check a sample of some of the Chapter page dates on the index against the actual www.gunnerkrigg.com pages please. I see p1354, Ch 48 Tall Tales, dated as 2014-05-16 (16 May 2014), but I've had a submission dating it as 2014-05-19 and other pages in that submission I've checked are not quite matching the web originals as I see them. I'm wondering if it is an international time date thing, page date varies by where you see it from, or whether the dates submission has an off-by-some error. |

Off by one error, it seems. The dates probably are right, just applied to the wrong pages...

Off by one error, it seems. The dates probably are right, just applied to the wrong pages... Can confirm the first 600 or so (edit:) all of them* a in ThatOtherPerson's recent pull request are correct, if the comic HTML title dates are correct. (By that, mean the following date info in page source html:)
<!-- (snip) -->
<div class="content">
<a class="important" href="mailto:teasan@hotmail.com" title="Public on 12 May 2014 | 12:00 AM">Tom</a>
<h4>Chapter 47: Page 31</h4>
<p>Luckily, Kat remembers the way out.</p>
</div>* took a while for my terribly inefficient script to download and check them all against that pull request (and then forgot the update this post >.> ...) |

Thanks for the confirmation. I'd spot-checked the chapter pages as they were already dated, but it's good to have a cross check.
Index page is updated: all main story comic pages are now dated
