move javascript.html to javascript/index.md

closes #171

You’ll also have to fix relative links, e.g., ./markdown now should be ../markdown.

Right, but it's slightly more difficult than that, because now the dev server happily serves both /javascript and /javascript/ with the same contents, though the links should be different. I'll change the main reference link, but it's still a bit of a trap.

[mbostock]

The dev server should redirect /javascript to /javascript/ to avoid serving under dual paths. Or perhaps better it should 404 for /javascript? I think that’s what GitHub Pages does and we should match.

This breaks active link highlighting when you click the JavaScript link from the sidebar.

I think I’d rather have /javascript as the page, rather than /javascript/, so that it’s parallel to /markdown and /html etc. Are we only making this change to workaround an issue with http-server?

[mbostock]

Closing since I would prefer to keep the existing structure but please comment if you disagree.

yes. If http-server is going to be the recommended server, I think we ought to find a way to make the project itself work with it.

I just tested Github pages with the following file structure:

/directory.html
/directory/index.html
/directory2/index.html
/directory3.html

If you call	pages tries to serve	code	result
/directory	directory.html	200	directory.html
/directory/	directory/index.html	200	directory/index.html
/directory2	directory2.html	301	directory2/
/directory2/	directory2/index.html	200	directory2/index.html
/directory3	directory3.html	200	directory3.html
/directory3/	directory3/index.html	404	Not Found

I don't see settings for http-server that would result in the same behavior; it seems http-server always prioritizes f/ over f.html. A mitigation might be to build f/index.html as a redirect to f.html? (EDIT: see the similar but better suggestion in #174).

Does disabling the auto index via -i false help?
