CHANGES IN HTMLDOC v1.8.25
NEW FEATURES
- Added "--overflow" and "--no-overflow" command-line
options to show or hide the content-too-large errors;
the default is "--no-overflow".
- Added "--header1" command-line option and "HEADER1"
page comments to set the page header for the first page
of each chapter.
- Added "timing" and "remotebytes" debug data generation.
- Added DejaVu font collection to better support Cyrillic

CHANGES:
- On Windows, HTMLDOC now logs CGI mode errors to a file
called "htmldoc.log" in the Windows temporary
directory.
- HTMLDOC no longer uses Base-85 encoding for image data
when producing Level 2 and 3 PostScript output. It

cannot properly decode this data when the original
image data is not a multiple of 8 bits.
- HTMLDOC now renders STRONG elements in boldface instead
of bold-italic to match the W3C recommendations.
- HTMLDOC now automatically inserts a TR element before a
TD or TH element as needed to improve web site
compatibility; this also triggers a HTML error in
--strict mode.

- HTMLDOC didn't set the data directory when running in
CGI mode on Windows.
- HTMLDOC could crash when loading the Symbol.afm file
(STR #93)
- HTMLDOC did not always honor HEIGHT attributes in table
rows.
- Tables with a mix of colspan and rowspan sometimes
caused cells to be moved vertically outside the cell.
CHANGES IN HTMLDOC v1.8.24
NEW FEATURES
- HTMLDOC now provides limited cookie support via the
"--cookies" command-line option and via the cookies
passed by a browser in CGI mode.
- HTMLDOC now features a CGI mode which provides PDF
conversion functionality for web servers.
- HTMLDOC now generates a document outline for each
input file or URL in webpage mode; the outline shows
the title for the file and links to the first page
containing that file.
- HTMLDOC now offers an "htmlsep" output type which
generates HTML output with a separate file for each
heading in the table of contents.
- HTMLDOC now includes LINK elements in generated HTML
so that intelligent browsers like Mozilla can show
next/prev/contents/top buttons.
- HTMLDOC now supports the BORDERCOLOR attribute for
tables, a MSIE extension.
- The "strict HTML" mode now reports unresolved local
links.
- Added support for HP LaserJet 5000 and Xerox DocuPrint
2000/100 printer commands.
- Added multiple header/footer image support.
- Links to external URLs are now resolved so that the
output file can be moved without affecting them.
CHANGES
- The command-line now allows --fontsize values from 4
to 26 to match the GUI.
- Now use a 0.001 point tolerance when checking for
content that overflows the page/cell.
- HTMLDOC no longer enables interpolation of 2-color
images.
- The default vertical alignment of images is "BOTTOM"
to match the HTML specification.
- Paragraph spacing is only applied to the first table
after a paragraph.
- The tabloid media size was 10 points too short in
length.
- The table formatter now subtracts the outside border
and padding widths for percentage-based widths. This
helps to eliminate "truncation or overlapping" errors.
- Dropped support for FLTK 1.0.x when building the GUI.
- The default vertical alignment is now "bottom" inside
paragraphs to correctly align different sized text and
images to the baseline.
- Indexed images are now written as PDF image objects
when encryption is enabled; this works around a
serious bug in Acrobat 6 which tries to decrypt the
colormap of in-line images twice, causing some very
strange colors!
- Table captions can now be bottom aligned.
- Blocks now break at the bottom of a page if the
current line height + standard line height goes below
the bottom of the page; this prevents images with
captions from getting erroneously moved to the top of
the next page.
- Character entities are now supported in HTML
attributes and unknown or invalid character entities
are left as plain text.
- Changed handling of NOWRAP for some tables.
- The --permissions option now supports multiple
permission keywords in a single invocation.
- Dropped support for MacOS 9 and earlier.
- HTMLDOC now breaks between images that are too large
to fit on a single line, to match the behavior of
Mozilla/Netscape (STR #7).
- HTMLDOC now handles XHTML input more cleanly.
- HTMLDOC no longer specifies an interpolation
preference for images in PostScript or PDF output (STR
#8)
- The DT element no longer applies an italic style (PR
#5178)
- HTMLDOC now ignores content inside a STYLE element
(PR #5183)
BUG FIXES
- Switching between landscape and portrait orientations
would cause margin creepage.
- Images did not default to align=bottom, and the
align=bottom line spacing calculation was incorrect.
- Whitespace before a link was underlined.
- Fixed a table column sizing bug.
- HTMLDOC didn't read back the HTTP response properly in
all situations.
- Fixed some more PNG transparency cases.
- The PageBoundingBox comments in PostScript output did
not account for the back page when duplexing was
enabled.
- HTMLDOC generated an incorrect image mask for some
images.
- The first page of each chapter did not use the custom
page number if it was placed inside the heading.
- HTMLDOC did not reset the rendering cache before each
page when producing N-up output; this caused font
errors in some cases that prevented the document from
printing or displaying properly.
- Eliminated a common cause of "table too wide"
formatting errors,
- Fixed a bug when applying a table background color to
a cell without a border that cross a page boundary.
- Fixed some calls to strcpy with overlapping arguments.
- The names object was never set when the name objects
were written.
- Character entities were not decoded/encoded inside
HTML comments.
- The current heading was not always correctly
substituted when used in the page header or footer.
- When converting web pages from the GUI, the
table-of-contents page number preferences were
incorrectly used.
- PDF page effects/transitions were not put in the right
part of the page dictionary, causing them not to be
used by the PDF reader application.

HTML output.
- HTMLDOC now handles "open" messages from the MacOS X
Finder (STR #3)

attribute for the title image (STR #10)
- The HTML version of the table of contents did not
correctly nest the lists in the parent items (STR #10)
- Borders around left and right-aligned images were not
drawn properly (PR #5112)
- Grayscale PDF output was not truly grayscale (STR #32)
- Fixed a table-of-contents bug introduced in 1.8.24rc1
which caused the PDF document outline and actual TOC
pages were not rendered properly (STR #37)
- Links were not rendered due to a bug that was
introduced in 1.8.24rc2 (STR #41)
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

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.
