Compiling a small Hugo sample

It would be nice to have a minimal test case for the new Hugo IFID detection in Babel.

I’d just like to know if there is anyone here who already has the Hugo compiler tools set up and easily could provide a one-room example Hugo story file (.hex) with a UUID-style IFID, before I dive in and try to work out how to do it myself.

The Babel software committee (me) would be grateful for help in this matter!

I think that with that unhappy extension (.hex is used in many assembler development systems for either object code or, well, hexadecimal dumps) hugo indeed need an internal IFID detection…

side point, I note that the large ramping up of the learning curve between the two part of the hugo book is one of the main issues in Hugo documentation.

I agree entirely.
One of the reasons I learned TADS was the incredible documentation, detailing almost every function, class, etc of the language, and also teaching it in a way where you could learn it very easily.

I wish Hugo had this sort of documentation

This is two years late, but is this something you could still use? I’d be happy to do so, Petter.

I worked it out, thanks!
