[Pdfdoclet-devel] PDFDoclet 0.5.0 beta coming

[Marcel S. <mar...@po...>]

Hi folks,

I am currently working on PDFDoclet 0.5.0. A binary package (not the
project package) build can be downloaded here:

http://files.poweredge.ch
login: pdfdoclet
password: test4me

Of course the changes are in the CVS as well. Apart from the usual
countless small things like javadoc fixes, there are some major issues:

- Refactored HTML parsing by replacing the old parsing code with JTidy
- Improved nesting of HTML tags a little bit more (lists and nested lists,
for example, can now have links in their items etc.)
- Support for Japanese language (Chinese and Korean coming later)
- Upgraded some of the libraries in "ext-lib" to newer versions

I'll have to put the changes somewhat more detailled in the history file
later. However, you may already have some feedback or additions about the
new version.

Check out the "test-pdf" ANT target to get a small PDF which gives a
better overview of the PDFDoclets capabilities. I'd also greatly
appreciate if this test pdf (its in the "src3" subdirectory in "examples")
would be enhanced in the future to build a good showcase for the
PDFDoclet.

If you have any questions, requests, critics or whatever, just mail me.

Regards,
Marcel Schoen
