ERBook is an extensible document processor that emits [1]any  
document you can imagine from [2]eRuby templates, which allow  
scripting and dynamic content generation.

Version 7.2.0 (2009-10-07)

This release improves support for Ruby 1.9 and Webkit-based  
web browsers, reduces gem dependencies, and fixes some bugs.

   browsers.

 * Disable interactive TOC tree location coloring in print
   style.

 * Use normal line height for preformatted text in print
   style.

 * Use serif for normal and sans-serif for emphasis in print
   style.

```

Ruby 1.9
