options to show or hide the content-too-large errors;
the default is "--no-overflow".</li>
<li>Added "--header1" command-line option and "HEADER1"
page comments to set the page header for the first page
of each chapter.</li>
<li>Added "timing" and "remotebytes" debug data
generation.</li>
<li>Added DejaVu font collection to better support
Cyrillic and Greek text; the new fonts are available

<li>HTMLDOC now renders STRONG elements in boldface
instead of bold-italic to match the W3C
recommendations.</li>

<li>"$HFIMAGEn" didn't work in a header/footer string.</li>
<li>HTMLDOC could crash when rendering a table.</li>

</UL>
<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.24</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<li>HTMLDOC now provides limited cookie support via the
"--cookies" command-line option and via the cookies
passed by a browser in CGI mode.</li>
<li>HTMLDOC now features a CGI mode which provides PDF
conversion functionality for web servers.</li>
<li>HTMLDOC now generates a document outline for each
input file or URL in webpage mode; the outline shows the
title for the file and links to the first page
containing that file.
<LI>HTMLDOC now offers an "htmlsep" output type which
generates HTML output with a separate file for each
heading in the table of contents.
<LI>HTMLDOC now includes LINK elements in generated HTML
so that intelligent browsers like Mozilla can show
next/prev/contents/top buttons.
<LI>HTMLDOC now supports the BORDERCOLOR attribute for
tables, a MSIE extension.
<LI>The "strict HTML" mode now reports unresolved local
links.
<LI>Added support for HP LaserJet 5000 and Xerox DocuPrint
2000/100 printer commands.
<LI>Added multiple header/footer image support.
<li>Links to external URLs are now resolved so that the
output file can be moved without affecting them.</li>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>The command-line now allows --fontsize values from 4
to 26 to match the GUI.
<LI>Now use a 0.001 point tolerance when checking for
content that overflows the page/cell.
<LI>HTMLDOC no longer enables interpolation of 2-color
images.
<LI>The default vertical alignment of images is "BOTTOM"
to match the HTML specification.
<LI>Paragraph spacing is only applied to the first table
after a paragraph.
<LI>The tabloid media size was 10 points too short in
length.
<LI>The table formatter now subtracts the outside border
and padding widths for percentage-based widths. This
helps to eliminate "truncation or overlapping" errors.
<LI>Dropped support for FLTK 1.0.x when building the GUI.
<LI>The default vertical alignment is now "bottom" inside
paragraphs to correctly align different sized text and
images to the baseline.
<LI>Indexed images are now written as PDF image objects when
encryption is enabled; this works around a serious bug in
Acrobat 6 which tries to decrypt the colormap of in-line
images twice, causing some very strange colors!
<LI>Table captions can now be bottom aligned.
<li>Blocks now break at the bottom of a page if the
current line height + standard line height goes below
the bottom of the page; this prevents images with
captions from getting erroneously moved to the top of
the next page.
<li>Character entities are now supported in HTML
attributes and unknown or invalid character entities
are left as plain text.
<li>Changed handling of NOWRAP for some tables.</li>
<li>The --permissions option now supports multiple permission
keywords in a single invocation.</li>
<li>Dropped support for MacOS 9 and earlier.</li>
<li>HTMLDOC now breaks between images that are too large
to fit on a single line, to match the behavior of
Mozilla/Netscape (STR #7).</li>
<li>HTMLDOC now handles XHTML input more cleanly.</li>
<li>HTMLDOC no longer specifies an interpolation
preference for images in PostScript or PDF output (STR
#8)</li>
<li>The DT element no longer applies an italic style (PR
#5178)</li>
<li>HTMLDOC now ignores content inside a STYLE element
(PR #5183)</li>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>Switching between landscape and portrait orientations
would cause margin creepage.
<LI>Images did not default to align=bottom, and the
align=bottom line spacing calculation was incorrect.
<LI>Whitespace before a link was underlined.
<LI>Fixed a table column sizing bug.
<LI>HTMLDOC didn't read back the HTTP response properly in
all situations.
<LI>Fixed some more PNG transparency cases.
<LI>The PageBoundingBox comments in PostScript output
did not account for the back page when duplexing was
enabled.

images.
<LI>The first page of each chapter did not use the
custom page number if it was placed inside the heading.
<LI>HTMLDOC did not reset the rendering cache before
each page when producing N-up output; this caused font
errors in some cases that prevented the document from
printing or displaying properly.
<LI>Eliminated a common cause of "table too wide"
formatting errors,
<LI>Fixed a bug when applying a table background color to
a cell without a border that cross a page boundary.
<LI>Fixed some calls to strcpy with overlapping arguments.
<LI>The names object was never set when the name objects
were written.
<li>Character entities were not decoded/encoded inside
HTML comments.</li>

substituted when used in the page header or footer.</li>
<li>When converting web pages from the GUI, the
table-of-contents page number preferences were
incorrectly used.</li>
<li>PDF page effects/transitions were not put in the right
part of the page dictionary, causing them not to be
used by the PDF reader application.</li>
<li>The _HD_OMIT_TOC attribute was not being honored for
HTML output.</li>
<li>HTMLDOC now handles "open" messages from the MacOS X
Finder (STR #3)</li>
<li>The GUI did not load or save the "strict HTML" setting
(STR #6)</li>
<li>The HTML version of the title page did not set the ALT
attribute for the title image (STR #10)</li>
<li>The HTML version of the table of contents did not
correctly nest the lists in the parent items (STR #10)</li>
<li>Borders around left and right-aligned images were
not drawn properly (PR #5112)</li>
<li>Grayscale PDF output was not truly grayscale (STR
#32)</li>
<li>Fixed a table-of-contents bug introduced in
1.8.24rc1 which caused the PDF document outline and
actual TOC pages were not rendered properly (STR
#37)</li>
<li>Links were not rendered due to a bug that was
introduced in 1.8.24rc2 (STR #41)</li>
</UL>
<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.23</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<LI>HTMLDOC now supports a full alpha channel in PNG
files.

section of text overflows into an adjacent table cell
or off the right edge of the page.
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>The NEW SHEET page comment now breaks on N-up
boundaries when N is greater than 1.
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>HTMLDOC tried to format tables with no rows or
columns. While the HTML in technically not in error,
it is not exactly something you'd expect someone to
do.
<LI>HTMLDOC didn't report an error when it could not
find the specified title page file.
<LI>HTMLDOC could crash if it was unable to create its
output files.
<LI>HTMLDOC could crash when writing HTML output
containing unknown HTML elements.
<LI>HTMLDOC could crash when writing HTML output if the
output document had no title.
<LI>The htmlGetText() function used a fixed-size (10k)
buffer which allowed for a buffer overflow. The new
code (from HTMLDOC 1.9) allocates its buffer instead.
<LI>The header/footer text was not centered properly if
the header/footer font size was different than the
default body font size.
<LI>The GUI interface incorrectly localized URLs when
doing a "save as" operation.
<LI>The PNG background color was not correct for PNG files
using <= 8 bits per pixel.
</UL>

<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<LI>Now support many Windows code pages in addition to ISO
charsets.
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>

the TOC using the _HD_OMIT_TOC attribute.
<LI>HTMLDOC now supports remote book files when running
from the command-line.
<LI>HTMLDOC now supports hexadecimal character constants
(&#xFF)
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>HTMLDOC now calculates the resolution of the body
image using the printable width instead of the page
width.

Cygwin tools.
<LI>HTMLDOC no longer inserts whitespace between text
inside DIV elements.
<LI>HTMLDOC now supports quoted usernames and passwords in
URLs.
<LI>HTMLDOC now defaults unknown colors to white for
background colors and black for foreground colors.
This should make documents that use non-standard color
names still appear readable.
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>"make install" didn't work in the fonts directory.
<LI>"&euro;" didn't work, while "&#128;" did: the
character name table was not sorted properly...
<LI>Links didn't always point to the right page in PDF
output.
<LI>XRX comment output could crash HTMLDOC.
<LI>Fixed-width columns in tables could be resized by
HTMLDOC.
<LI>When writing PostScript commands, some printers reset
their duplexing state when a new setpagedevice command
is received; we now cache the current duplex state and
change it only as needed.
<LI>The MEDIA SIZE comment didn't adjust the printable
size for the current landscape setting.
<LI>HTMLDOC placed the header one line too high.
<LI>When continuing a chapter onto the next page, H3 and

<LI>The HTML parser now allows BODY to auto-close HEAD
and visa-versa.
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>HTMLDOC wouldn't compile using GCC under HP-UX due
to a badly "fixed" system header file (vmtypes.h).
<LI>Generating a book without a table-of-contents would
produce a bad PDF file.
<LI>The Xerox XRX comments used the wrong units for the
media size, points instead of millimeters.
<LI>IMG elements with links that use the ALIGN attribute
didn't get the links.
<LI>Header and footer comments would interfere with the
top and bottom margin settings.
<LI>Fixed a bug in the htmlReadFile() function which
caused user-provided title pages not to be displayed in
PS or PDF output.
<LI>The table-of-contents would inherit the last media
settings in the document, but use the initial settings
when formatting.
</UL>
<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.19</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<LI>Now support the "subject" meta variable.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>Updated the HTML parser to use HTML 4.0 rules for
embedding elements inside a LI.</LI>
<LI>Now check for a TYPE attribute on EMBED elements, so
that embedded Flash files do not get treated as HTML.</LI>
<LI>Now put the COPYRIGHT meta data in the Author field in
a PDF file along with the AUTHOR meta data (if any).</LI>
<LI>No longer embed the prolog.ps command header when
PostScript commands are not being embedded in the
output.</LI>
<LI>HTMLDOC now properly ignores the HTML 4.0 COL element.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>Squeezed tables were not centered or right-aligned
properly.</LI>
<LI>Cells didn't align properly if they were the first
things on the page, or if there were several
intervening empty cells.</LI>
<LI>The preferred cell width handling didn't account for
the minimum cell width, which could cause some tables
to become too large.</LI>
<LI>Remote URLs didn't always resolve properly (like the
images from the Google web page...)</LI>
<LI>The font width loading code didn't force the
non-breaking space to have the same width as a regular
space.</LI>
<LI>PRE text didn't adjust the line height for the tallest
fragment in the line.</LI>
<LI>HTMLDOC tried to seek backwards when reading HTML
from the standard input.</LI>

<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>Now accept all JPEG files, even if they don't start
with an APPn marker.</LI>
<LI>Now only start a new page for a chapter/filter if we
aren't already at the top of a page.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>ROWSPAN handling in tables has been updated to match
the MSIE behavior, where the current rowspan is
reduced by the minimum rowspan in the table; that is,
if you use "ROWSPAN=17" for all cells in a row,
HTMLDOC now treats this as if you did not use ROWSPAN
at all. It is unclear if this is what the W3C
intends.</LI>
<LI>The "--webpage" option didn't force toc levels to 0,
which caused a bad page object reference to be
inserted in the PDF output file.</LI>
<LI>Background colors in nested tables didn't always get
drawn in the right order, resulting in the wrong
colors showing through.</LI>
<LI>The HEADER page comment didn't set the correct top
position in landscape orientation.</LI>

handled to better match how Netscape and MSIE format
things.</LI>
<LI>HTMLDOC now handles .book files with CR, LF, or CR LF
line endings.</LI>
<LI>Changed the TOC numbering to use 32-bit integers
instead of 8-bit integers...</LI>
<LI>Now handle local links with quoted (%HH) characters.</LI>
<LI>The command-line interface no longer sets PDF output
mode when using --continuous or --webpage.</LI>
<LI>HTMLDOC now opens HTML output files in binary mode to
prevent extra CR's under Windows, and strips incoming
CR's from PRE text.</LI>
<LI>Now support inserting the current chapter and heading
in the table-of-contents headers and footers.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>The table cell border and background were offset by
the cellpadding when they should only be offset by the
cellspacing.</LI>
<LI>The buffer used for periods that lead up to the page
number in the table-of-contents was not large enough
for a legal-size document in landscape format.</LI>

width and length of the page.</LI>
<LI>Tables that used COLSPAN did not honor WIDTH values in
non-spanned cells.</LI>
</UL>
<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.16</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>Now break before and after DIV groups to match most
browsers (the HTML spec is ambivalent about it...)</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>HR elements didn't render properly.</LI>
<LI>Background images didn't render properly and could
lock up HTMLDOC.</LI>
<LI>The "HALF PAGE" comment would lock up HTMLDOC -
HTMLDOC would keep adding pages until it ran out of
memory.</LI>
<LI>SUP and SUB used a fixed (reduced) size instead of
using a smaller size from the current one.</LI>
<LI>Empty cells could cause unnecessary vertical alignment
on the same row.</LI>
</UL>
<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.15</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<LI>Now support media source, type, and color attributes
in PS output.</LI>

"vertical-align" style attributes, but only for style
information in an element's STYLE attribute.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>Now load images into memory only as needed, and unload
them when no longer needed. This provides a dramatic
reduction in memory usage with files that contain a
lot of in-line images.</LI>
<LI>Now use the long names for the Flate and DCT filters
in all non-inline PDF streams. This avoids a stupid
bug in Acrobat Reader when printing to PostScript
printers.</LI>
<LI>HTMLDOC now strips any trailing GET query information
when saving the start of files (target) in a document.</LI>
<LI>Unqualified URLs (no leading scheme name, e.g. http:)
now default to the HTTP port (80) instead of the IPP
port (631).</LI>
<LI>Optimized the image writing code to do more efficient
color searching. This provides a significant speed
improvement when including images.</LI>
<LI>Now hide all text inside SCRIPT, SELECT, and TEXTAREA
elements.</LI>
<LI>OS/2 port changes from Alexander Mai.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>If a document started with a heading greater than H1,
HTMLDOC would crash.</LI>
<LI>Full justification would incorrectly be applied to
text ending with a break.</LI>
<LI>Images using ALIGN="MIDDLE" were not centered properly
on the baseline.</LI>

format properly (the colspan was lost after the first
row.)</LI>
<LI>Tables that used cells that exclusively used COLSPAN
did not format properly.</LI>
<LI>When writing HTML output, image references would
incorrectly be mapped using the current path.</LI>
<LI>Images with a width or height of 0 should not be
written to PS or PDF output.</LI>
<LI>The CreationDate comment in PostScript output
contained a bad timezone offset (+-0500, for example,
instead of -0500).</LI>
<LI>The PHP portal example now verifies that the URL
passed to it contains no illegal characters.</LI>
</UL>
<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.14</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>

<LI>Added support for GET form request data in the PHP and
Java "portal" examples.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>Most output generation limits have been removed;
HTMLDOC now dynamically allocates memory as needed for
pages, images, headings, and links. This has the
happy side-effect of reducing the initial memory
footprint significantly.</LI>
<LI>Now call setlocale() when it is available to localize
the date and time in the output.</LI>
<LI>The table parsing code now checks to see that a
ROWSPAN attribute fits in the table; e.g., a ROWSPAN
of 10 for a table that has only 6 rows remaining needs
to be reduced to 6...</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>Tables with a lot of COLSPANs could cause a divide-
by-zero error or bad pages (NAN instead of a number.)</LI>
<LI>Table cells with a single render element would not be
vertically aligned.</LI>
<LI>The --quiet option would enable progress messages on
the command-line.</LI>
<LI>Table cell widths could be computed incorrectly,
causing unnecessary wrapping.</LI>
</UL>
<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.13</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<LI>Added support for secure (https) URLs via the

<LI>Added support for the CSS2 page-break-before and
page-break-after properties.</LI>
<LI>Added a PHP example.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>External file references to non-PDF files now use the
"Launch" action so they can be opened/executed/saved
as allowed by the OS and PDF viewer.</LI>
<LI>Changed the indexed/JPEG'd transition point to 256
colors when using Flate compression. This makes PDF
files much smaller in general.</LI>
<LI>Changed the in-line image size limit to 64k.</LI>
<LI>Now allow "<" followed by whitespace, "=", or "<".
This violates the HTML specification, but we're sick
of people complaining about it.</LI>
<LI>Preferences are now stored in a user-specific file
under Windows, just like UNIX. This provides
user-specific preferences and allows preferences to
be kept when upgrading to new versions of HTMLDOC.</LI>
<LI>The book loading code now allows for blank lines, even
though these are not a part of the format. (added to
support some scripted apps that include extra
newlines...)</LI>
<LI>Changed the leading space handling of blocks to more
closely match the standard browser behavior.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>The table formatting code adding the border width to
the cell width, while Netscape and MSIE don't. This
caused some interesting formatting glitches...</LI>
<LI>The table formatting code didn't account for the
preferred width of colspan'd cells.</LI>
<LI>The table formatting code tried to enforce the
minimum cell width when squeezing a table to fit on
the page; this caused the table to still exceed the
width of the page.</LI>
<LI>The PDF catalog object could contain a reference to
a /Names object of "0 0 R", which is invalid. This
would happen when the "--no-links" option was used.</LI>
<LI>Several HTML elements were incorrectly written with
closing tags.</LI>
<LI>When piping PDF output, the temporary file that is
created needed to be open for reading and writing,
but HTMLDOC only opened the file for writing.</LI>
<LI>Image links did not work.</LI>
<LI>The JPEG image loading code did not correctly handle
grayscale JPEG images.</LI>
<LI>JPEG images were not encrypted when writing a document
with encryption enabled.</LI>
<LI>The user password was not properly encrypted.</LI>
<LI>The colormap of indexed images were not encrypted when
writing a document with encryption enabled.</LI>
<LI>The temporary file creation and cleanup functions did
not use the same template under Windows, causing
multiple conversions to fail when temporary files were
used.</LI>
<LI>Paragraphs could end up with one extra text fragment,
causing the line to be too long.</LI>
<LI>The command-line program would clear the error count
after reading all the files/URLs on the command-line,
but before generating the document. If there were
problems reading the files/URLs, HTMLDOC would return a
0 exit status instead of 1.</LI>
<LI>Image objects that were both JPEG and Flate compressed
would not display (filters specified in the wrong
order.)</LI>
<LI>Images with more than 256 colors would cause a segfault
on some systems.</LI>
<LI>Background images would generate the error message
"XObject 'Innn' is unknown".</LI>

<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.12</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<LI>Added new "--batch" option to convert HTMLDOC book
files from the command-line.</LI>

<LI>Now use image objects in PDF output for images when
the image width * height * depth > 32k.</LI>
<LI>Now use JPEG compression when the number of colors
would be > 32 colors or 16 gray shades.</LI>
<LI>True transparency support for GIF files in PDF 1.3
output!</LI>
<LI>The GUI now automatically changes the extension of the
output filename as needed.</LI>
<LI>The GUI now collects all error messages and shows them
once after the document is generated.</LI>
<LI>Added support for HSPACE and VSPACE attributes for images
with ALIGN="LEFT" or ALIGN="RIGHT".</LI>
<LI>Added new Java interface to HTMLDOC.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>Consolidated temporary file management into new
file_temp() function. The new function also makes use
of the Windows "short lived" open option which may
improve performance with small temporary files.</LI>
<LI>Updated book file format and added an appendix
describing the format.</LI>
<LI>Now default to PDF 1.3 (Acrobat 4.0) output format.</LI>
<LI>Now output length of PDF streams with the stream
object; this offers a modest reduction in file size.</LI>
<LI>The HTTP file cache now keeps track of previous URLs
that were downloaded.</LI>
<LI>The HTTP code now supports redirections (status codes
301 to 303) to alternate URLs.</LI>
<LI>Limit the height check for table rows to 1/8th of the
page length; this seems to provide fairly consistent
wrapping of tables without leaving huge expanses of
blank space at the bottom of pages.</LI>
<LI>The HTML output now also includes a font-family style
for PRE text; otherwise the body font would override
the PRE font with some browsers.</LI>
<LI>The snprintf/vsnprintf emulation functions were not
included in the HTMLDOC makefile.</LI>
<LI>RGB hex colors are now recognized with or without the
leading #. This breaks HTML standards compliance but
should reduce the number of problem reports from buggy
HTML.</LI>
<LI>The stylesheet generated with the HTML output no longer
contains absolute font sizes, just the typefaces and
a relative size for SUB/SUP.</LI>
<LI>The title image is no longer scaled to 100% in the
HTML output.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>The web page output was not divided into chapters for
each input file.</LI>
<LI>The "make install" target did a clean.</LI>
<LI>The configure script would remove the image libraries
if you did not have FLTK installed.</LI>
<LI>The fix_filename() function didn't handle relative
URLs for images (e.g. SRC="../images/filename.gif")</LI>
<LI>Comments in the source document were being closed by
a </!--> tag in the HTML output.</LI>
<LI>The alignment attribute in TR elements was not inherited
by the TD and TH elements.</LI>
<LI>The HTML parser added whitespace before the title of a
document (missing check for TITLE element.)</LI>
<LI>The table formatter did not reset the column width when
a width was not specified explicitly. This caused the
columns to be formatted with equal widths...</LI>
<LI>Paragraphs that didn't use the P element would use the
alignment attribute of the first fragment instead of the
parent.</LI>
</UL>
<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.11</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<LI>Added koi8-r character set.</LI>
<LI>Added new "TrueType" font option for PDF output. This
(hopefully) should improve support for non-latin
languages.</LI>
<LI>Added support for "justify" alignment; this is
currently implemented by adding additional space
between characters (no automatic hyphenation...)</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>The "make install" target does a "make all" to ensure
that the software is built before installing it. This
should help users that don't read the documentation
build the software.</LI>
<LI>Incorporated several OS/2 compile fixes from Alexander
Mai.</LI>
<LI>Tables that exceed the printable width of the page are
now squeezed to fit.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>The temporary file created for PDF output to stdout
was not unique.</LI>
<LI>The temporary file created for PDF output to stdout
did not use the GetTempPath() function under Windows.</LI>
<LI>The temporary file cleanup code did not use the
GetTempPath() function under Windows.</LI>
<LI>The prefs_load() function did not check the
HTMLDOC_DATA environment variable until after loading
the preferences file. This could cause any saved
settings to generate error messages about missing
files (these were reloaded when the document data was
read, however.)</LI>
<LI>The first border for a table cell that spanned
multiple pages did not account for the cellpadding or
border width.</LI>
<LI>Leading whitespace was not eliminated in all cases.</LI>

<LI>Documentation updates.</LI>
<LI>If a heading already contains a link, the name assigned for
the heading is stored in the existing link to avoid nested

<LI>The table parsing code now also traverses THEAD and TFOOT
sections and handles multiple TBODY, THEAD, and TFOOT
sections. The THEAD and TFOOT rows are treated as ordinary
rows.</LI>
<LI>Image alignment should now match W3C recommendations.</LI>
<LI>Newlines inside quoted values (e.g. SRC="filename\r\n")
are now ignored.</LI>

TYPE="text/css" attribute.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>The path support was still broken.</LI>

support.</LI>
<LI>Table cell borders could be drawn on the wrong page
if not all cells in a row span more than one page.</LI>
<LI>Large images could end up covering the footer at the
bottom of the page (wasn't accounting for the line
spacing.)</LI>

<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>Configuration script changes.</LI>
<LI>Now ignore file count in book files; instead, we now
look at the first character of the third and
subsequent lines - a dash (-) indicates the start of
the options. (use a backslash to quote filenames
starting with a dash)</LI>
<LI>Multiple-line paragraphs that have only 1 line on the
bottom of the current page are now started on the
following page.</LI>
<LI>DSC comments in PostScript output were not 100%

<H2>Changes in HTMLDOC v1.8.7</H2>
<UL>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>New Features</H3>
<LI>The configure script now uses the local PNG, ZLIB,
and/or JPEG libraries when they are new enough.</LI>
<LI>The configure script now uses the -fno-rtti,
-fno-exceptions, and -fpermissive options as needed
with GCC (smaller, faster executables, works around X
header bugs in Solaris.)</LI>
<LI>Added a --toctitle option to set the table-of-contents
title from the command-line (was only available in the
GUI in previous releases...)</LI>
<LI>New "<!-- NEED amount -->" comment to force a page
feed if there is not sufficient room on the page for
the following text.</LI>
<LI>Page comments are now supported in tables.</LI>
<LI>Table rows are now allocated dynamically, MAX_ROWS at
a time.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Changes</H3>
<LI>Increased default MAX_PAGES to 10000 (was 5000.)</LI>
<LI>File links in book files now point to the top of the
next page.</LI>
<LI><TABLE ALIGN=xyz> now aligns the table (previously it
just set the default alignment of cells.)</LI>
<LI>Transparent GIFs now use the body color instead of white
for the transparent color.</LI>
<LI>Updated to LIBPNG 1.0.6 in source distribution.</LI>
<LI>Updated the default cellpadding to be 1 pixel to match
Netscape output.</LI>
<LI>Updated line and block spacing to match Netscape.</LI>
<LI>DL/DT/DD output now matches browsers (was indented from
browser output.)</LI>
<LI>Now only output link (A) style if it is set to "none".
Otherwise Netscape would underline all targets as well
as links.</LI>
<LI>Increased the MAX_COLUMNS constant to 200, and dropped
MAX_ROWS to 200. Note that the new table code now
allocates rows in increments of MAX_ROWS rows, so the
actual maximum number of rows depends on available
memory.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>Now ignore illegal HTML in tables.</LI>
<LI>The VALIGN code didn't handle empty cells properly.
<LI>Wasn't offsetting the start of each row by the cell
padding.</LI>
<LI>The JPEG image loading code didn't work for some JPEG
images, particularly those from digital cameras (JPEG
but not JFIF format.)</LI>
<LI>The strikethrough line was not being drawn in the
correct position.</LI>
<LI>Wasn't setting the height of BR elements, so <BR><BR>
didn't insert a blank line.</LI>
<LI>The table of contents would show the wrong page numbers
if no title page was generated.</LI>
<LI>Cell widths did not subtract any border, padding, or
spacing from the "preferred" width, causing formatting
differences between web browsers and HTMLDOC.</LI>
<LI>The PNG loading code did not handle interlacing or
transparency.</LI>
<LI>The HTML parsing code did not prevent elements in
embedded files from completing elements in the parent
file.</LI>

that and ignore strings that consist entirely of whitespace.</LI>
<LI>New progress bar.</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>Didn't add whitespace after a table caption.</LI>
<LI>Nested tables caused formatting problems (flatten_tree()
didn't insert breaks for new rows)</LI>
<LI>A cell whose minimum width exceeded the available width
for the table would cause the table to go off the page.</LI>
<LI>Cells that spanned more than two pages were drawn with boxes
around them rather than just the sides.</LI>
<LI>The stylesheet info in the HTML output specified the H1 size
for all headings.</LI>
<LI>The title page was incorrectly formatted when an image was
specified - the text start position was computed using the
pixel height of the title image and not the formatted height.</LI>
<LI>1 color images didn't come out right; the "fix" to work around
an Acrobat Reader bug was being done too soon, so the color
lookups were wrong.</LI>
<LI>HTML file links now work properly.</LI>
<LI>Now limit all HTML input to the maximum size of input buffers
to avoid potential buffer overflow problems in CGIs.</LI>
<LI>If a row had a predefined height, HTMLDOC wasn't making sure
that the row would fit on the current page.</LI>
<LI>THEAD, TFOOT, and TBODY caused problems when formatting tables.
Note: THEAD and TFOOT are *still* not supported, however the
code now properly ignores them and parses the rows in the
TBODY group.</LI>
<LI>The VALIGN code introduced in the 1.8.5 release didn't check
for NULL pointers in all cases.</LI>

AFM, character set, or PostScript glyph files.</LI>
<LI>The logo image is now scaled to its "natural" size (as
it would appear in a web browser)</LI>
<LI>Now recognize VALIGN="MIDDLE" or VALIGN="CENTER".</LI>
<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>Generation of PDF files to the standard output (i.e.
to the web server + browser) didn't work on some
versions of UNIX. HTMLDOC now writes the PDF output
to a temporary file and then copies it to the standard
output as needed.</LI>
<LI>PDF links were missing the first 5 characters in the
filename; the code was trying to skip over the "file:"
prefix, but that prefix was already skipped elsewhere.</LI>
<LI>Nested descriptive lists (DL) did not get rendered
properly.</LI>
<LI>Tables had extra whitespace before and after them.</LI>
<LI>Multiple aligned images confused parse_paragraph();
the images would overlap instead of stack on the
sides.</LI>

<H3 _HD_OMIT_TOC>Bug Fixes</H3>
<LI>HTMLDOC could crash under Microsoft Windows with some
types of HTML files. This was caused by a stack overflow,
usually when processing nested tables.</LI>
<LI>Multiple HTML files weren't being converted properly in
web page mode - only the last file would be generated for
PostScript output, and no file for PDF output.</LI>
<LI>Wasn't preserving the whitespace between "one" and "two"
in the HTML code "one<I> two</I> three".</LI>
<LI>Paragraph spacing was inconsistent.</LI>

<LI>The configure script didn't update the ARFLAGS
variable for *BSD operating systems (no "s" option to
build the symbol table...)</LI>
<LI>Changed the installation commands to only create the
installation directory if it does not exist. This
prevents installation errors on some platforms the
second time around.</LI>
<LI>Now use the Microsoft definitions for characters 128
through 159 that are otherwise unused by the
ISO-8859-x character sets.</LI>
<LI>Now set optimization settings when we know the compiler.</LI>
<LI>Now always quote attribute values in HTML output to make
HTML lint programs happy.</LI>

<LI>Wasn't using TOC title string in PDF document outline.</LI>
<LI>Preformatted text in tables didn't force the column
width.</LI>
<LI>Cells using COLSPAN > 1 didn't contribute to the width
of columns.</LI>
<LI>The table code didn't enforce the per-column minimums
under certain circumstances, causing "scrambled"
columns.</LI>
<LI>The configure script and makefiles didn't work when
FLTK was not available. They now only build the "gui"
library when it is available.</LI>
<LI>The Windows distribution was installing files under
PROGRAMDIR instead of TARGETDIR. This prevented users
from customizing the installation directory.</LI>
<LI>The configure script overrode the LDFLAGS environment
variable, preventing FLTK from being located in a non-
default directory.</LI>

<LI>Changed HTML output to use less invasive navigation bars at
the top and bottom of each file. This also means that the
"--barcolor" option is no longer supported!</LI>
<LI>Updated to use existing filenames in HTML (directory) output.
<LI>Now recognize any local PDF file as a local file link (i.e.
you just need "HREF=filename.pdf" and not
"HREF=file:filename.pdf")</LI>
<LI><TT>, <CODE>, and <SAMP> no longer reduce the font size.</LI>
<LI>Now put whitespace after image data in PDF files. This
change was needed to work around a bug in Acrobat Reader 4.0.</LI>

<LI>Links in multi-file HTML output were off-by-one.</LI>
<LI>BLOCKQUOTE needed to be like CENTER and DIV.</LI>
<LI>Needed to use existing link name if present for headings to
avoid nested link name bug in Netscape and MSIE.</LI>
<LI>Extremely long link names could cause TOC generation to fail
and HTMLDOC to crash.</LI>
<LI>PDF output was not compatible with Ghostscript/Ghostview
because Ghostscript does not support inherited page resources
or the "Fl" abbreviation for the "FlateDecode" compression
filter.</LI>
<LI>PostScript DSC comments didn't have unique page numbers. This
caused Ghostview (among others) to get confused.</LI>
