Changes for version 0.10

  • Nested tags bug fixed: it was not possible to use \I, \C inside a link \L tag. NOTE: It is still not posslble to have an \X tag in the body of a \L tag!
  • Require PerlPoint::Parser 0.3427
  • Using new tag definition Module: PerlPoint::Tags::HTML, PerlPoint::Tags::LaTeX
  • Comment with version numbers in each created file
  • Bugfix: \C, \I, \B, ... etc in headers was not correctly handled in former versions
  • --box_border option (for border width of text boxes)
  • --style_sheet option (still as an experiment; the behaviour of pp2html may change when style sheets are used)
  • die when wrong options have been specified
  • workaround for bug in TreeApplet: / was not possible in headers. now slashes are replaced with commas.
  • Empty fields in tables are now filled with " " so that the border will be displayed
  • --style_dir and --style options Support for styles (pre-defined sets of template and configuration files)
  • Bug with list indentation fixed: if the last item in a list is shifted (i.e. shift_level > 1) then the following text or block was indented. Now the shift_level is automatically reduced.
  • Some new Keywords which are replaced when templates are copied to the target directory: TOP_LEFT_TXT, TOP_MIDDLE_TXT, TOP_RIGHT_TXT, same for BASE, and LOGO_IMAGE_FILENAME; corresponding options: --top_left_txt, ...
  • Option --slide_md5: all filenames have the form <slide_prefix><md5-checksum>.<slide_suffix>
  • Nested tables are now supported (see PerlPoint::Parser Docu)
  • Variables can now be used in template Files, see the ex_std_norm-top.tpl for an example: VAR(AUTHOR)
  • support of hierarchical anchor names for slide headers
  • pp2latex: fix for formatting of URLs included (thanks to Alex Sigel)
