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 9.1.0 (2009-11-03)

This release adds JavaScript-based search functionality,  
improves usability, and fixes some bugs–all in the XHTML  
format.

New features

```
 * Add JavaScript-based search functionality to XHTML
   format.

 * Make paragraph nodes flow with the body (don't put tabs
   around them).

 * Make external hyperlinks open in a separate window.

 * Make "Printer friendly" label clickable like the
   checkbox.

```

Bug fixes

```
 * The first character of a URI fragment can be an
   underscore, according to the W3C XHTML 1.0 Strict
   validator!.

 * Scroll to nearest visible element if scroll target is
   naturally hidden (e.g. because of a CSS rule).

 * Prevent scroll animation callback from being called
   twice.

 * Do not show "Loading... failed" message in text-only web
   browsers.

 * Fix empty "lang" attributes on the output of the syntax
   coloring library.

```

Housekeeping

```
 * Rename the IDs of core XHTML structures to be
   self-documenting.

 * Shorten mini navigation link labels for text-only web
   browsers.

 * Refactor JavaScript according to JSLint suggestions.

 * Project license was not being emitted into JavaScript
   code.

```
