docs: GHFM-COLOR.md easter egg — a render drawn with MathJax rules - #28
Merged
Conversation
…ules Turn the ghfm-color experiment into a curated easter-egg page: two small renders drawn as coloured MathJax \rule rectangles in GitHub-Flavoured Markdown, no image file. entropy (horizontal bands -> few runs/row) aligns cleanly; byteclass (noisy -> many runs/row) shears, because MathJax adds per-atom spacing that accumulates with run count. Documents the imperfection rather than chasing perfect kerning. Reciprocal-links to phart's GHM-LATEX experiment (the text-mode original); a subtle footnote from GALLERY.md points spelunkers to it. Not linked from the main README -- the crisp PNG gallery stays the serious face. Replaces the throwaway docs/ghfm-experiment.md.

The verdict came back from GitHub:
\\rule+\\colorrender. So the ludicrous thing works — a vizbin render drawn as coloured MathJax rectangles straight in a Markdown page, no image file.It is imperfect (the noisy rows shear, because MathJax adds per-atom spacing that accumulates with RLE run-count — the "is it monospace? is it though" ghost from the phart original, reincarnated). Per the phart tradition, the doc documents the imperfection rather than chasing perfect kerning:
entropy(horizontal bands → few runs/row) aligns cleanly as Exhibit A;byteclass(noisy → many runs/row) shears as Exhibit B, with the why.<sub>footnote at the bottom of GALLERY.md points document-spelunkers to it.Put to bed; revisit only if a real use case ever says "oh, yeah…".
