ROBODoc 4.0.24 released

ROBODoc is a documentation tool. It extracts the documentation from comment-headers in the source code and formats it in HTML, RTF, LaTeX, ASCII, or XML DocBook. It works with C, C++, Perl, shell scripts, Tcl, Fortran, HTML, XML, makefiles, configuration files and any other language or script that supports remarks.

Release 4.0.24 is the new stable release. Compared to 4.0.18 the following changes have been made:

ROBODoc now supports configurable header markers, remark markers, and end markers this means ROBODoc is now usable, out of the box, with _any_ language.

In HTML mode ROBODoc adds a navigation bar for every header. It allows one to jump to the parent header, the top of the document, and the
index when available. All headers are sorted according to a non case sensitive string compare. Sorting can be disabled with the option --nosort. Source files that do not contain headers are not shown in the source index. With the compiler define IGNORE_CASE_FILENAMES one can make ROBODoc case-insensitive when it comes to filenames.

Instead of stopping ROBODoc will continue parsing the other headers if it finds a header it can not parse. It also gives more information on warnings and errors.

The following bugs have been fixed: 924530 -- False warning with empty lines; 925920 -- broken robodoc.rc file; robodoc ignored end markers or remark markers if there was no header marker block; 874567 -- No cross-links for names that start with '-'; 875533 -- No bolding for names starting with ::
