Subject: RDoc's TemplatePage Removed from Ruby

If you've got a custom RDoc template, it won't work in the next  
release of Ruby 1.9.

You can find details on how to convert from an old TemplatePage  
template to the new ERB-based TemplatePage wrapper here:

This should make it much easier to build templates for RDoc output  
than it has been in the past.

I plan on making some further changes to the organization of the RDoc  
generation code, including documentation of what gets rendered when  
and what values are provided to the template.  I'll also be providing  
additional information to the templates which should enable more- 
flexible page generation.

If you are a template author, I'd like to know what additional data  
you'd want in a template so I can include it.

At some point in the future there will be a release of my RDoc work-in- 
progress.  Until then, you'll need to check it out from ruby trunk.
