!docinfo

• The rather irritating !docinfo attribute names webmastername, webmasterurl, webmasteremail, and webmastermailurl have been renamed:
  
  

  old	new
  webmastername	domain_name
  webmasterurl	domain_link
  webmasteremail	contact_name
  webmastermailurl	contact_link

!label*

• A new command !label* has been introduced to be able and reference e.g. chapter titles much better. Imagine you have an English manual using the chapter Command Index but in other chapters you mention command index, then UDO cannot automatically reference to the chapter because it references case-sensitively.
  
  Using the new command, you can set a label, which will be referenced by UDO like other labels, but will not be shown in the index page. So in the example mentioned above, you would not see both Command Index and command index in the index, but only the automatically indexed chapter title Command Index.
  
  Example:

        !begin_node Command Index
        !label*     command index
        [...]
        !end_node # Command Index
  

Environments

• The environment attribute !short has been changed into !compressed because we believe this term describes much better what this attribute really does: It changes the environment layout from splendid to compressed. Therefore, we have renamed several commands:
  
  

  old	new
  short	!compressed
  use_short_descriptions	!use_compressed_descriptions
  use_short_enumerates	!use_compressed_enumerates
  use_short_envs	!use_compressed_envs
  use_short_itemizes	!use_compressed_itemizes
  use_short_lists	!use_compressed_lists

  
  
  Important: The old commands are no longer supported!

• New environment attribute !not_compressed:
  This new environment attribute has been introduced, to be able and switch off the inherit of compressed outer environments to the inner environments.

• To keeps things tidied up, we also renamed the switch use_short_tocs to !use_compressed_tocs.

• Formatting of the titles of Description environment items in RTF and PS have been enhanced.

UDO

• The UDO versions for Mac OS and Mac OS X now register as UDO for Mac OS and UDO for Mac OS X.
• When you use the commandline option -@ F, you no longer need to enter exactly one option per text line in file F.

Bugfixes

• #86: Deprecated commands no longer irritate the IF stack.
• UTF-8 output of UTF-8 content could crash UDO in some situations.

HTML

• !html_ignore_8bit no longer requires an optional parameter <text> for the charset.

Miscellaneous

(!deg)

If a target format cannot output the placeholder as the degree sign accordingly, it will no longer be replaced by the German word Grad by default, but by the localized word, e.g. degree in English.
