Release Notes

Rextile 1.8

Fixed

• Made compatible with Ruby 1.9: sources flagged as UTF-8 encoded, fixed output of list nodes in standard template, converted documentation to UTF-8.

Rextile 1.7

Better

• Default template is now in UTF-8.
• Rextile now includes its own local copy of RedCloth 3.0.99, as the gem repository seems to only have 4.x versions. This simplifies installation of Windows significantly.

Fixed

• Windows start script fixed.

Rextile 1.6

New

• Can set dependency_info instance variable in _site.rb to activate make-style dependency checking to speed up building of large sites.

Rextile 1.5.1

Fixed

• Fixed handling of dt. tags. It got broken by the latest RedCloth release.
• require 'fileutils' so it runs properly on Debian without gems.

Rextile 1.5

Better

• Dropped all markdown rules except for the list style. The problem was that other markdown elements interfered with recognition of indented code blocks.
• Removed dependency on RubyGems as suggested by the Debian maintainers.
• Option to add breadcrumbs not pointing to index.htm.

Fixed

• Crash when an XML tree node was nil.
• The :- style link checker now reports missing link definitions more properly.

Rextile 1.4

New

• Support for dt. added. Formats definition lists. Use like this: dt. term : text.

Better

• Returns exit code 1 if warnings occurred.

Rextile 1.3

New

• Can override xhtml_header in files now to change the header. Useful for MathML, for instance.

Better

• Release builds done using Rake.

Fixed

• Use raw text for title tag.
• Strip hard breaks from TOC entries in standard template.

Rextile 1.2

New

• INSTALL_PATH in script blocks points to the folder where you installed Rextile. Use this to reference the standard template, for instance.
• root_crumb in the standard template allows you to link to parent sites (as I link to arrenbrecht.ch at the top of this page).

Better

• XHTML include files now use the extension .xhtmlinc instead of .xhtml. This clearly differentiates them from actual plain XHTML source files you might want to copy from the source to the build folder.

Fixed

• The standard template now uses only the raw text of the first h1 to set the page title. It also removes any <br/> tags from headings when building the TOC.

Rextile 1.1

New

• Support out-of-order processing of pages to enable auto-building of page indexes.
• Support for _links.rextinc added to standard template.
• Warnings for missing :-abbr style deferred link targets.

Better

• Adapted names and indenting to Ruby conventions.
• Separated run.rb from rextile.rb.

Fixed

• Standard template properly inserts styles into the header.

Rextile 1.0

This was the initial release.
