bugfixes
Changes:
NEW FEATURES
- Now support many Windows code pages in addition to ISO charsets.
- HTMLDOC now supports heading levels 1 to 15.
- HTMLDOC now allows the author to omit headings from
the TOC using the _HD_OMIT_TOC attribute.
- HTMLDOC now supports remote book files when running
from the command-line.
- HTMLDOC now supports hexadecimal character constants (ÿ)
- New --nup and NUMBER-UP options for PostScript and PDF output.
- HTMLDOC now logs HTML errors.
- HTMLDOC now supports the A3, B, Legal, and Tabloid size names.
- HTMLDOC now supports embedding of the base Type1 fonts
in PostScript and PDF output.
CHANGES
- HTMLDOC now calculates the resolution of the body
image using the printable width instead of the page width.
- HTMLDOC should now compile out-of-the-box using the Cygwin tools.
- HTMLDOC no longer inserts whitespace between text inside DIV elements.
- HTMLDOC now supports quoted usernames and passwords in URLs.
- HTMLDOC now defaults unknown colors to white for background colors and
black for foreground colors. This should make documents that use
non-standard color names still appear readable.
- The HTML parser now allows BODY to auto-close HEAD and visa-versa.
BUG FIXES
- HTMLDOC could crash when checking if a URL is already cached.
- HTMLDOC didn't adjust the top margin when changing the
page header if the comment didn't appear at the top of a page.
- HTMLDOC didn't initialize the right number of TOC headings.
- When using a logo image in the header, the header was
placed too low on the page.
- "make install" didn't work in the fonts directory.
- "€" didn't work, while "€" did: the
character name table was not sorted properly...
- Links didn't always point to the right page in PDF output.
- XRX comment output could crash HTMLDOC.
- Fixed-width columns in tables could be resized by HTMLDOC.
- When writing PostScript commands, some printers reset
their duplexing state when a new setpagedevice command
is received; we now cache the current duplex state and
change it only as needed.
- The MEDIA SIZE comment didn't adjust the printable
size for the current landscape setting.
- HTMLDOC placed the header one line too high.
- When continuing a chapter onto the next page, H3 and
higher headings would be indented the wrong amount.
- HTMLDOC wouldn't compile using GCC under HP-UX due to
a badly "fixed" system header file (vmtypes.h).
- Generating a book without a table-of-contents would
produce a bad PDF file.
- The Xerox XRX comments used the wrong units for the
media size, points instead of millimeters.
- IMG elements with links that use the ALIGN attribute
didn't get the links.
- Header and footer comments would interfere with the
top and bottom margin settings.
- Fixed a bug in the htmlReadFile() function which
caused user-provided title pages not to be displayed
in PS or PDF output.
- The table-of-contents would inherit the last media
settings in the document, but use the initial settings
when formatting.
There are really too many changes to mention them all here, previous version
of the package was 20 htmldoc versions behind! See the file CHANGES.txt in the
sources for more details. Anyway you should update.
As suggested in PR pkg/14557 by <collver@linuxfreemail.com> the package had
been strongly buildlinked. This update address part of this PR.
Also introduce support for another package of htmldoc with the X Windows GUI
activated.
