wiki2xhtml 2.2 released!

wiki2xhtml makes it easy to create good-looking web pages. It is a program for both beginners and pros! The source text, which will be compiled by wiki2xhtml, is being written in the easy-to-learn syntax used in Wikis like the Wikipedia or the WikiBooks (and which is explained in the help file). If you have got higher demands, you can insert your own code. Take a look at the example, use an existing style or create your own!

In this release there are quite a lot of changes. The most important ones are the additional designs and the (again completely new) GUI. And now there are also image pages being created for every image you use in the document (with either [[Image:...] in the text or Image:... in the gallery). The complete changelog is here:

Version 2.2 (So 4. Feb 12:31:12 CET 2007)
New:
* Now it is possible to set a style directory. Try e.g. «-s style/simple», the new design!
* Meta-Data. You can set keywords or a description (the tags <meta name="..." content="..." />) with {{Keywords:keywords, comma-separated, new}} or {{Description:This helps search engines}} anywhere in the text.
* Meta-Data: Also possible: {{Author:...}} and {{Lang:...}}.
* The first heading (h1) can be set by {{H1:...}} if the design supports (in the file reck.html).
* I have added a few new designs :) You can select them with «-s style/name-of-design». That are: nature (old standard design), glass (a little glassy), led (b/w, tech), simple (yeh, simple), evening (sun), autumn (apple), fog (foggy), forest (ghosty), hd (hard disk), rock (erm ...) and winter (cold).
* (If the design supports it:) You can set the home link now with {{Homelink:...}} (Allows you to click on the header image). The reck has to contain the following line:
<a[HOMELINK] id="header"></a>
* In the file css-settings.txt (which has to be in the style directory) you can say how many images a gallery can have per line if --consistent-gallery is used. Use {{Consistent-Gallery:##}} on a new line. ## is any integer. Do only use digits, no spaces etc.!
* To set an icon for a page: {{Icon:...}}
* wiki2xhtml creates separate files for images!
* I have rewritten the GUI completely. Now it works with tabs, focus requests work, ... Makes it a little smaller.
* If you create new files with the GUI, the progress is being shown. If you don't see anything, you've got an impossible fast PC, better buy a new one ;) (or maybe there is a bug ...)
* Argument --dead: No output at all
* The inserted images work with IDs now! That means, if you click «back» you get back to the image and not to the top of the page. If you have got your own style: Use the [ID] in the image-template.html.

Notes:
* Output cleaned
* If you don't set a style directory, wiki2xhtml takes a random one. They have to be in an own directory in the directory style!
* --helpfile/--helpfiles and --standard are handled different now which allows to change all the arguments (like verbose, ...)!
* Code: The new lines at the beginning of the content have been remmoved.
* It is not possible anymore to set the title with «= title =». New is {{Title:A new title}} anywhere in the text. The %s certainly still works.
* The reck file can not be given anymore, it has to be in the style directory with the name reck.html.
