LDC #112: XBRL Rendering of Strings, Untangled!

EDGAR 18.3 was released on October 1st, 2018, and while most of its features are clearly documented, one change that was made seems to have flown under the radar of most people. Starting with this version, all facts created with elements of data type StringItemType are no longer rendered as HTML. Instead they are rendered as plain old strings. While this makes sense (and does close some potential security risks on the SEC’s side), it does effect how people are doing XBRL. For example, most people doing Risk Return taxonomy filings use <B> tags to make their heading items bold. This is no longer possible, because it would come out rendered like:

LDC #111: Back To The Log

About a year ago I wrote a blog with the basics of how logs work with GoFiler and Legato. At the end I mentioned that in a future blog post we would talk more about what you can do with log objects. Today we are going to do just that. This blog assumes that you have read the previous blog and understand the basics of the log object.

LDC #110: Organizing Pictures

Sorting pictures can be a time consuming task. Many devices such as cell phones and cameras save pictures with sequential numbers. While this is great because we, as the users, don’t need to name our photos as we take them. However, it does mean that sorting the resulting photos can be time consuming. Luckily we can use Legato to create a basic sorting interface. Unlike many of the scripts in this blog this script is intentionally incomplete. It is a basic framework in which you can build your own image processing. You could edit the script to move all of the images into folders based on the specified names. This would sort the pictures into events or groups. You could also edit the script to run a program on the images with names. You could create thumbnails of named images. There are many possibilities including reworking the script to work with more than images.

LDC #109: Getting a Handle on Handles

A term often used in programming that sometimes leaves new developers flummoxed is the “handle”. Handles are a convenient way to identify complex objects like windows, files, etc. In this blog, we’re going to get a “handle” on handles by explaining what they are, how Legato creates and manages them, and what you need to know to properly use them.
