* New handling of command line options:
- can be abbreviated to shortest unique prefix
-help now works and is up-to-date
* New customization variable:
$T2H_HREF_DIR_INSTEAD_FILE:
if set (e.g., to index.html) replace hrefs to this file
(i.e., to index.html) by ./
* New command-line option:
-toc_file FILE
for those who want the TOC to be in FILE
* New customization variables:
$T2H_SPLIT_INDEX [default: = 100]
index pages are split at next letter, if more than that many entries
$T2H_NODE_NAME_IN_MENU [default = 0]
for enforcing node names in meny entries
$T2H_AVOID_MENU_REDUNDANCY [default = 1]
to avoid display of duplicate meny entry information
$T2H_INDEX_CHAPTER [default = '']
if set, use chapter of this name for 'Index' Button in
navigation bars, else use first chapter whose name matches
"index" (case insensitive).
$T2H_TOP_HEADING [ default = '']
if non-empty, and no heading is in Top node, then use this as heading
for top node/section; otherwise, use @settitle, @shorttitle.
* index generation: observes typesetting in fixed-width font, @ftable,
@vtable implemented
* By default, $T2H_TOP_FILE is not set, and so $docu_name.html is used.
* Added T2H_print_chapter_header, T2H_print_chapter_footer for more
fine-grained control of T2H_SPLIT eq 'chapter', added option
-section_navigation, $T2H_SECTION_NAVIGATION to supress output of
navigation panels per section
* naming scheme and calling convention of customizable subs changed:
prefix T2H_, call &$T2H_, assignment $T2H_<name> = \&T2H_DEFAULT_<name>
* Initialization as suggested by Peter Moulder:
1. /usr/local/etc/texi2htmlrc (or whatever given by --sysconfdir to
configure)
2. $HOME/.texi2htmlrc
3. command-line options, including -init_file
where later options override previous ones.
* Automatic node pointer creation added
* @enddots, @exclamdown, @pounds, and relatives added.
* primitve foreign language support
* support of all "Umlaute"
* anchors, macros
* latex2html incooperation
* customizable page layout (texi2html.init)
* index as table with corresponding sections
In the vast majority of cases, nothing has changed (i.e. .tgz, .tar.gz,
and .tar.bz2).
EXTRACT_USING_PAX can be set as before.
For custom extractions, instead of using EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS,
EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS and EXTRACT_CMD, simply set EXTRACT_CMD to be the
command needed to decompress and extract the lements from the archive.
${DOWNLOADED_DISTFILE} can be used to reference the distfile(s).
e.g. for compressed shars, where previously there was:
EXTRACT_CMD= ${GZCAT}
EXTRACT_BEFORE_ARGS=
EXTRACT_AFTER_ARGS= |sh
now use:
EXTRACT_CMD= ${GZCAT} ${DOWNLOADED_DISTFILE} | ${SH}
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
