Rake. It transforms blog entries written in Textile or  
other formatting systems into valid XHTML files that are  
user friendly in both graphical and text-only web browsers.

Version 5.0.1

Contents

• Thanks  
• Repairs  
• Usability

This release fixes several defects.

1 Thanks

Josef ‘Jupp’ Schugt reported several defects.

2 Repairs

• X11 color names have been replaced by their  
corresponding hex codes in the input/styles/default.css  
file because, as Josef ‘Jupp’ Schugt reports, “some  
browsers may ignore them altogether or, even worse,  
misinterpret them”.

• The content of

```
 tags is now
properly protected and escaped as HTML by the
String.to_html method in config/format.rb.
• Simplified the code that performs shell escaping.
3 Usability
• An entry’s information (date, tags, and comment link)
is now shown in index pages by default because, as
Josef ‘Jupp’ Schugt reports, that is what people have
come to expect in a blog interface.
• Revised the instructions presented atop the search
page.
