Nice! You could also use BEGIN { FS = “: “ } Which sets the field separator. This would put the keywords into $2 and remove the need for the gensubs :)

  Well, look at that. Thanks!

  It's much shorter to set the field separator with an option: awk -F": " or awk -F ": " do the same thing.

In both your essays, you have some text surrounded by square brackets: are these intentded to render out as hyperlinks?
- sramsay 4y ago
  Yes. Are they not!?

    They are now. Some of them weren't. Maybe it was a local error for me. Or maybe PEBCAK. Anyway, cool blog. I'm reading it.
