## Hey everybody! I just release a new webgen version which fixes some bugs and brings one new feature: customizable links to any file handled by webgen. Have a look at [http://webgen.rubyforge.org/news.html](http://webgen.rubyforge.org/news.html) to see a complete list of changes! Best regards, Thomas ## What’s webgen? webgen is a tool to generate static websites by combining content with template files. You create one or more template files in which you define the layout of your page and where the content should go. After that you create page files in which you only define the content. You can use a variety of markup languages like Textile or Markdown to define your content and you can add dynamic parts via ERB or by using webgen tags. This allows the automatic generation of menus, breadcrumb trails and much more! Have a look at the examples page at [http://webgen.rubyforge.org/](http://webgen.rubyforge.org/) examples/index.html to get a first impression of webgen! ---

Hi, I tried it out on Windows XP with the One-Click-Installer, failed for me, too. However, after updating Rubygems from 0.9.2 to 0.9.4 it worked for me. So try a: gem install rubygems\_update update\_rubygems gem install -y webgen _hth_, Thomas ps. Ruby 1.8.6 on Windows installed using One-Click-Installer has a bug which prevents webgen from working correctly, so stay with the 1.8.5 version till the next release of 1.8.6 (bug has already been fixed)
