Committing code closes the bug. Nice!

With some careful crafting of the commit comment you can persuade BitBucket to close the bug when you push the change set.

e.g. I used this commit message for issue No. 2:

This fixes issue #2 - Daily page for the 30th has suffix of "Huh?" instead of "th".
 
Fix:
1. Added 30 to the switch statement.
2. Throw an exception, via ant.fail(), in the default condition.

The phrase "fixes issue #2" tells BitBucket to:

1. Mark the issue as closed
2. Add the commit message as a comment to the bug report.
3. Include a link to the change set in the bug comment.

All that and you can also use markdown in the commit message. Brilliant! I wish all repositories could do that; it would've saved me a huge amount of time, over the years.

Daily page title has '0' prefix on date

The command WebDoxy -d on any of the first 9 days of a month produces a page title similar to: Saturday 01^st July, 2017. i.e. there is a superfluous zero before the day number.

Logged as issue No. 3 in the bug tracker. I haven't investigated this yet, but I'm hoping it'll be a trivial configuration change. I'm making heavy use of Groovy's ConfigSlurper, and trying to put "constants" into configuration instead of in the code.

Fixed: see Sunday's post.

Note

AsciiDoc is interesting but appears obsolete. e.g. mentions of the source code refer to Google Code.
