Publish PDF library version 2.2.25 released
This version adds support for the Wikibook PDF server features introduced in version 1.1 beta 3 (Thursday, 12 August 2010). It provides improved support for custom book title verso pages, documented under Front Matter. This includes new arguments for the (:typeset-book:) directive:
- support for an optional copyright="Copyright caption"
- support for an optional date="Date caption" to override the “Day of Print” string
- support for an optional chapterbib=on to print a bibliography after each chapter, instead of at the end of the book
It also provides new trail page text variables:
- support for an optional (:year: 2001:) to override the current year on the copyright line
- support for an optional (:year: 2001 "First published May 2001":) caption to add a supplementary line after the copyright line
- support for an optional (:isbn: [=978-0-00-723020-4=]:), with an optional second ISBN for print and online books — note the ISBN is wrapped in [= … =] markup
It also adds support for:
- including PDF documents attached to a wiki page using Attach:file-name.pdf markup
- centered and non-floating graphic ornaments using =|Attach:image-name.ext"image caption" start of line markup
- new book template variables for $WPLocation and $CopyrightCaptionFmt, plus a new $WPTypeset template variable
- less vertical space used on the book titleverso page
It also includes some fixes and patches:
- fix an obscure bug that occurred if a [[<<]] was floated right
- fix a problem with recognising (:div:) captions introduced when PmWiki changed the behaviour of the PQA function
- fix a problem with recognising (:div:) captions if the div was followed immediately by [@ … @] block markup
- extend support for url discretionary hyphenation to https links
- refactor the Site Template pages so that shared metadata settings, such as page size, are stored once and re-used for all templates
A new Book Guide provides documentation for creating and publishing books.
