Subject: [Maruku-users] [release] Maruku 0.5.6
Message-ID: <b10bb3860705240702k21bc58d4mda25aff8b05bb0c0@mail.gmail.com>

*	News:

	-	Now Maruku is in the official Gentoo Portage tree (done by [Aggelos
Orfanakos])
	
*	New stuff:

	- Attribute `maruku_signature` defaults to false. (many people asked this)
	- unittests scripts are included in the distribution.
	- New attribute `filter_html`: if true, raw HTML/XML is discarded.
(asked by Marik)
	- Command line: if output file is `-`, Maruku writes to stdout.

*	Bug fixes:

	*	Another tiny bug in HTML parsing.
	*	In latex, `\linebreak` was used instead of `\newline` (reported by
Sam Kleinman)
	*	Fixed bug with non-alpha numeric characters in ref.ids (reported by
Aggelos Orfanakos)

	
*	Pending bugs/feature requests:

	- Maruku does not allow 3-space indented lists.
	- Lists item whose first character is UTF8 are not recognized
(reported by Aggelos Orfanakos)
	- Maruku cannot output `"`-delimited attributes, because `REXML` does
not support it.

Hi Aggelos,
This feature seems a little too specific to be implemented at the
moment (and requires another pass on the data).
However, tell me your opinion on the following improvement, which may
include the feature you want:

I want to add an option switch to the command-line maruku that creates
the HTML files based on a template.

For example:

     $ maruku file.md   # standard
     $ maruku --style peach  file.md  # add a color scheme, css for
the toc, etc.

That's because at the moment the customizability is very limited: one
can only choose a CSS file, and that's it. One cannot add a banner,
copyright, etc.

So predefined template files could be specified in the distribution,
or created in the user's home dir.

Of course, once one has this template system it is not a problem to
include variable substitution (%REND_SECS, etc.).
