How to format the content of all markdown files, not just the about pages?

How to format the content of all markdown files, not just the about pages?

[actionmystique]

Hi there,
with the following setup, no markdown file is correctly formatted besides
the about pages:
*cgit 1.2.1-14-g55ebd5e*
*git 1:2.20.1-1*
in */etc/cgitrc*:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Format markdown, restructuredtext, manpages, text files, and html files
# through the right converters
about-filter=/usr/local/lib/cgit/filters/about-formatting.sh

## Search for these files in the root of the default branch of repositories
## for coming up with the about page:
readme=:README.md
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The about pages are perfectly formatted, for instance here
<https://git.sdxlive.com/DR/about/>.
But any other markdown page is not formatted, for instance here
<https://git.sdxlive.com/DR/tree/KVM-and-Manager/README.md>.
Am I missing something or is this a missing feature?

It's not supported at the moment, although there have been various
patches posted to add support for rendered content in the tree view.

The most recent thread ends about here with a summary of the changes
needed to move forward:

https://lists.zx2c4.com/pipermail/cgit/2018-July/004127.html

I'd forgotten that this is still unresolved, so I may see if I have time
to pick it up again between now and the new year.

John

Use the correct url and everything is formatted just fine:

https://git.sdxlive.com/DR/about/KVM-and-Manager/README.md
-- 
main(a){char*c=/*    Schoene Gruesse                         */"B?IJj;MEH"
"CX:;",b;for(a/*    Best regards             my address:    */=0;b=c[a++];)
putchar(b-1/(/*    Chris            cc -ox -xc - && ./x    */b/42*2-3)*42);}

OK, but redirecting all URLs containing files which can be formatted by the
about filter & located below /tree to /about is not effective:
        location ~ \.(md|MD|rst|RST|[1-9]|html|HTML|txt|TXT)$
        {
                rewrite ^(/.*)/tree/(.*)$ $1/about/$2 permanent;
        }
leads to a "404 Not Found".

For instance, https://git.sdxlive.com/PPA/tree/Wireshark/README.md, I get
the error log:
2018/12/27 12:52:49 [error] 20915#20915: *1 open()
"/usr/share/nginx/html/PPA/about/Wireshark/README.md" failed (2: No such
file or directory), client: 2a01:cb00:745:c100:26d7:494a:7c78:c99a, server:
git.sdxlive.com, request: "GET /PPA/about/Wireshark/README.md HTTP/2.0",
host: "git.sdxlive.com", referrer: "
https://git.sdxlive.com/PPA/tree/Wireshark"

If I remove the location/rewrite directives and restart nginx, the same URL
https://git.sdxlive.com/PPA/tree/Wireshark/README.md is correctly displayed
& formatted with the about filter.

What am I missing?
