Wikibook server version 1.0.8 released
This release includes a number of minor enhancements:
- support the align attribute in advanced table cells
- let custom floats “float here” if space is available
- support 2 and 3 column output for custom floats, with automatic text size adjustment
- add support for lists of tables, figures and custom floats in book front matter
- add support for a list of custom floats in a report
- fix a bug in the tabulary package to improve automatic table column width calculation
- route http requests via a proxy server with config(proxy => ‘url.of.proxy.server’);
These enhancements required changes in the wikibook DTD for the meta and group elements.
Publish PDF library version 2.2.8 released
The above server release supports various changes in the publish PDF library:
- restore support for cell width attribute in advanced tables (removed when rowspan and colspan support added)
- add support for table width attribute in advanced tables
- add support for align attribute in advanced table cells (issue 00130)
- fix a latexrender inline image alignment problem in Firefox (issue 00131) and increase maximum image width
- fix a problem with newlines at the start of a line causing LATEX to fail
- revise the site-wide templates in cookbook/wikipublisher/wikilib.d to support the new print metadata values
Reapply any local template changes
Sites which have edited the template files in the Site group (for example to change the default paper size to US letter) will need to re-apply their edits. For each template file,1 do the following:
- view the custom template page with ?action=source
- open a new browser tab and edit the custom template and replace all the text with PmWiki’s “delete” keyword
- save the page, which will cause PmWiki to revert to the version in cookbook/wikipublisher/wikilib.d
- edit the new original and use copy and paste as necessary to transfer custom settings from the old source tab
- save the revised version
