What has changed: Fixed Bugs: - Changed US to EN for language option - browse function now gets a correctly formed URL Functional Changes: - Added indention bullets (use **, *** etc.) - Text now uses justify text alignement - Added support for *boldtext* inside paragraph text - Added support for _underlinetext_ inside paragraph text - Added support for ~italictext~ inside paragraph text Programatic Changes: - make-doc-pro now uses a pattern of XYZstart, ... , XYZend markers to define formatting scopes You can find the new version at: www.robertmuench.de/make-doc-pro.zip Feel free to comment and let me know about your new ideas. Robert

Robert: I just check your link... the version I could find there is still : Date: 02-August-2001 Version: 0.9.5 I used make-doc for generating all my reports and project doc. I like what you did and I will switch to your version. I specially appreciate the use of a stylesheet: IMHO it makes it easier to customize the output look if those format specs are in _one_ place. BTW, in this version, some _??_ and a _print "sect1"_ were left uncommented ... Can I suggest the following: - creation of a specific class or id for the boilerplate (should make it easier to customize) - isolation of the copyright text into a word set in beginning of the script (same reason) - use of quotes for the isolation of the value of the tag (as recommended by W3C) example: <PRE CLASS="myclass"> or <PRE STYLE="width: 25%"> Keep on the good work ;-) chr==

Hi, hmm... I have uploaded a new version to my homepage-server. Maybe a cache problem? The filename is www.robertmuench.de/make-doc-pro-097.zip

Great to hear this!

Yes, style-sheet handling could be made more configurable (not hardcoded) but one step after the other.

> BTW, in this version, some _??_ and a _print "sect1"_ were left uncommented

Ups... the Monday to Wendsday releases are more ad-hoc releases done from my work-place. I try to be more exact for future releases.

Ok, good idea and inserte into my to-do list.

Ok.

Is this relly recommended? I thought the opposite was true :-| Anyway, I check it out, shouldn't be a problem.

> Keep on the good work ;-)

Thanks for the comments, I try my best ;-). Robert

It would be nice to if the various forms of make-doc and eText could also generate WML markup as well. Andrew Martin ICQ: 26227169 http://zen.scripterz.org

If WML has anything in common with WAP, better forget it - WAP is total crap and I can't understand how someone can find it usefull. :-) I just hope that next gen mobile devices will have full capable browsers ... -pekr-

I've found WAP useful for custom built solutions. Not too much use for general browsing but if you want to expose services to mobile devices for vertical market solutions it works quite well. I also run various things on my home machine and have access via WAP to allow me to check status, configure things, etc. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing what GPRS and the like have to offer. I believe the bad rap WAP is currently getting is mainly due to it being pushed as 'browse the web on your mobile phone' whch it is quite unsuited for. Chris. -- http://www.double.co.nz/dylan

Hi, fine :-))

Hey, thanks a lot! :-))

Ok, I'm going to change it as one of my main goals is to emit truly standard-conform HTML code.

Thanks :-). It took me some time too to get to a solution. I don't know if it's the best one but it works OK.

I know... I hadn't time yet to look into it. The next version will fix this problem. Robert

You could pass HTML Tidy on the output and see what it says. (You should be able to find it on the W3C site; otherwise do a search for it on freashmeat.net --- that's where I found it the last time.)
