Hello,
the mentioned updates just arrived at CPAN. These are minor updates but
we recommend to install them. ;-)
What's new? Here is the Converters changelog:
- Bullet bug fixed: When there was no bullet list in the PerlPoint
input file
then in the table of contents all bullets were standard HTML <LI>
tags even
if bullet images had been specified.
- minor help text bug fixed (==item --> =item)
- \BOXCOLORS can now have the option set=default which restores
box_bg_color and
box_fg_color to their original values (which had been set by options
...)
- Evaluation of style and main options: Now the main options overwrite
options from
style directories.
- edit_cfg.pl script added
- replace LOGO_IMAG_FILENAME with
$OPT{image_ref}/$OPT{logo_image_filename}
- use reasonalble defaults for TOP_RIGHT_TXT etc. in styles. They can
now be
overwritten by main options.
- expand HTML escapes also in Page Headers (e. g. E<uuml>)
- --start_page=filename option (default: index.htm)
- new keywords for Templates to be replaced: TOP_BGCOLOR, BOT_BGCOLOR,
...
And here is what's new in the Package:
* There is an important bugfix in the parser (or lexer, respectively)
- surprisingly, perl 5.6 worked around it automatically in some
cases ;-), so I didn't notice the bug completely before. Now I did,
because
* PerlPoint now runs under perl 5.005 (really! ;-).
* More, PerlPoint now runs under Windows as well which means it runs
out of the box (it was possible to use it there before, especially by
deactivating the cache). I expect ActiveState PPM files to become
available soon.
* More documentation. New documents include "Gettings started (with
PerlPoint)" and a tutorial describing how to write a converter.
* New projector support: the package comes with a new demo which
produces
slides for Clinton Pierce's Perl Projector.
Enjoy!
