Wikibook server version 1.0.13 released
This is a minor maintenance release, covering:
- server-side fix for a long-standing bug arising when a URL contains an anchor (issue 00035), so we can add support for links between PDF files (thanks to Jeffrey for raising this)
- make the check for an approved wiki URL optional — if the approval page setting is undefined, the check will always return “allowed” (thanks to Federico for suggesting this)
- improve the handling of lists in advanced table cells and div blocks, so there is less vertical space
- add server-side support for a colophon=off option to suppress printing of the Print Footer
Making URL approvals optional is not a good idea for public Wikibook servers, as it will allow any site with Wikipublisher installed to ask the server to generate a PDF. However, this makes it slightly easier to install the server behind a fire-wall, as there is one less thing to do.
