allow you customize the default header and footer
whilst preserving the default content:
□ header_outside_above – above the entire header
block
□ header_inside_above – above the default header
content
□ header_inside_below – below the default header
content
□ header_outside_below – below the entire header
block

content
□ footer_inside_below – below the default footer
content
□ footer_outside_below – below the entire footer
block
4 Repairs
• â€\0†and other regexp substitution placeholders in node
content were being interpreted. In particular, any
occurrences of â€\0†in a node’s content was replaced by
a strange SHA1 digest! {pluskid}
• The lib/gerbil/rdoc.rb library did not extract method
information recursively.
• In the html format, added a CSS margin above HTML
tables because they were visually colliding with other
elements above them.
• Fixed some Ruby code warnings in the html format.
