Gerbil 3.0.0


Contents

• Caution
• Repairs

This release improves the unindent feature and changes the
include directive’s syntax. In related news, the project
mailing list has been dismantled in favor of simply
contacting the author directly (see e-mail address in
LICENSE) to get help or provide feedback.

1 Caution

• The $unindent parameter has been replaced by the
--unindent command-line option, which automatically
unindents each line of input by the inner margin of its
containing node.

• The include directive now has a symmetric # at the
closing end:

<%# include ... #%>


2 Repairs

• In the HTML format, whitespace has been added (in CSS)
around the following nodes to make them conform more
easily with the style of the rest of the document:
□ header_outside_above – above the entire header
block
□ header_inside_above – above the default header
content
□ header_inside_below – below the default header
content
□ header_outside_below – below the entire header
block
□ footer_outside_above – above the entire footer
block
□ footer_inside_above – above the default footer
content
□ footer_inside_below – below the default footer
content
□ footer_outside_below – below the entire footer
block
