Tales of adventure: after-save-hook, call-process, Makefile,
nopublish, nocomment.

 So, I've been writing my resume in html.  I should have a copy
 publicly available, linked from my home page and maybe from the biz
 page.  I'd rather my phone number and snail address not appear on
 that one, and, upon reflection, probably there shouldn't be
 incriminating/introspective <!-- --> comments in the source.  In
 addition, I should have one with no i/i comments but with ph/snail,
 to send to recruiters.  So I wrote a perl script to take out any line
 that includes "nopublish."  (And another to remove comments.)  And a
 Makefile to keep it all tidy.

 The Makefile lines are

all : $(public) $(protected)

index : index.html

$(public) : $(private)
	src/nopublish -i $(private) | src/nocomment -o $(public)

$(protected) : $(private)
	src/nocomment -i $(private) -o $(protected)

clean :
	-rm $(public) $(protected)

 After that, wouldn't it be a fine thing if I could get Emacs to cause
 a build of the public and protected files (run "make all") every time
 I save the private base-document.

 So, I'm setting after-save-hook as a local variable.  The first line
 of the private document is

<!-- -*- after-save-hook: (lambda() (call-process "make" nil 0 nil "all")) -*- -->


Tale of misadventure:

 So, I was looking for examples of this on the net, and I got
 momentarily derailed by an article Google found me.  I was _not
 reading carefully, and it turns out that what I'd found was the Emacs
 19->18 _Antinews.

  Emacs 18 Antinews: For those users who live backwards in time, here
  is information about downgrading to Emacs version 18. We hope you
  will enjoy the greater simplicity that results from the absence of
  many Emacs 19 features.

  Features for Files

  Many file-related functions have been eliminated or simplified. Here
  is a basic listing of these functions.

  The functions file-accessible-directory-p, file-truename,
  make-directory, delete-directory, set-visited-file-modtime,
  directory-abbrev-alist, abbreviate-file-name, write-region,
  write-contents-hooks, after-save-hook, set-default-file-modes

 and I thought Then how the hell am I supposed to do this??

 Yeegh.  All better now.



Part two is that this has finally motivated me to do the same thing
with the three pairs of files on my site which come in rated-G and
rated-PG versions.  Now, I edit only the PG files, and mark it up with 
 <!--beginhide--> and <!--endhide-->
around the un-G lines, and have a
 <!-- beginsubs - these are for creating the derived file
 s[src="mail/][src="];
 s[SRC="mail/][SRC="];
 s[../foxtail/foxtail.html][../../foxtail/index.html];
 s[../mail/p6in1/purple-black/pb.html][../../mail/p6in1/purple-black/index.html];
 endsubs -->

nohide.pl builds the rated-G file from any of the PGs by performing
its substitutions and not copying over the hide lines.
