                           ERBook 6.0.0

           Extensible document processor based on eRuby

               http://snk.tuxfamily.org/lib/erbook/

   ERBook is an extensible document processor that emits [1]any
   document you can imagine from [2]eRuby templates that allow
   scripting and dynamic content generation.

   A working [3]XHTML (web page) format is provided, while
   [4]LaTeX (PDF), [5]UNIX manual page, and [6]plain text
   formats are planned... [7]patches are welcome!

6.1  Version 6.0.0 (2009-01-19)

   This release improves the appearance & usability of the XHTML
   format, refactors the core logic into reusable libraries,
   fixes some bugs and improves variable names.

   Incompatible changes

     * Renamed @types to @nodes_by_type and @spec to @format in
       XHTML format.

     * Moved the core logic of the erbook executable into the
       ERBook::Document and ERBook::Document::Template classes.

   New features

     * Addded navigation menus beside every segment in the user
       manual. These menus allow you to jump to the
       next/previous segment, whereas previously you always had
       to go back to the table of contents and select a new
       segment.

     * A star is drawn beside a reverse jump target in the table
       of contents, so the user can continue where they left
       off.

     * Added "inline" node definition parameter (see [8]Section
       3.2.1. Node definition).

     * Added $subtitle parameter to XHTML format.
     * Document parameters for the XHTML format, such as $title,
       can now be disabled by setting them to nil.

     * Relative file paths can now be specified in <%#include#%>
       directives.

     * Added a "node" node (see [9]Section 5.1.4.2.1. node),
       which serves as a pass-through container, in the XHTML
       format.

     * Allow user to type <pre> blocks on single lines without
       affecting the display of their content.

     * Initial newline in the body of <code> is now stripped.
       This allows users to write their code blocks normally:
       <code>
       foo
       bar
       </code>
       Instead of abnormally to avoid an extra leading newline:
       <code>foo
       bar
       </code>

     * Paragraph nodes are now included in the table of
       contents.

   Bug fixes

     * Input to unindentation algorithm was being partially
       unindented beforehand by the logic that silences
       code-only eRuby directives. This corrupted the
       unindentation algorithm's output in some cases.

     * <pre> blocks now expand to fit their content in the XHTML
       format. No more scrollbars!

     * <a/> without href was treated as external hyperlink.

   Housekeeping

     * Revised the project logo to emphasize the owl mascot.
     * Replaced dull MediaWiki hyperlink colors with more lively
       colors in XHTML format.

     * Wrote more API documentation and use [10]Inochi to
       simplify project maintenance.
