I need to pull the Table of Contents from a readme file in a Github repository. I used the 'requests' module in python to pull the text from the readme, and now I'm trying to match the Table of Contents using regular expressions. Here's the code I have leading up to my question:



import requests

import os

import sys

import re



# Get readme page info via Github API.

rm_pg_url = ('https://api.github.com/repos/PillarOfSand/Projects/readme')

rm_pg = requests.get(rm_pg_url, timeout = 10)

rm_pg_content = rm_pg.json()



# Isolate download page. Get actual text from readme file.

download_url = rm_pg_content['download_url']

real_rm = requests.get(download_url, timeout = 10)

all_text = real_rm.text



toc_regex = re.compile(r'(?s)^## Table of Contents.*security)$')

table_of_contents = toc_regex.search(all_text)


The last two lines are what I'm trying to get at specifically. The table_of_contents variable is type None, so the regular expression I'm using isn't matching anything. The text string I'm searching can be found at the following URL:



ReadME Text



So, my actual question is, where am I going wrong? How does my regular expression need to be adjusted to match the entire table of contents?



Thanks.

How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

Image
3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

Image
up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx

Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

Image
0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"
