## Hey everybody!

webgen 0.5.12 has just been released! If you don’t know what webgen is,  
read the “What’s webgen?” section down below.

This announcement is also available at  
[http://webgen.rubyforge.org/news/release\_0\_5\_12.html](http://webgen.rubyforge.org/news/release_0_5_12.html)

This release includes two minor changes and some bug fixes: The output  
of the [meta information tag](http://webgen.rubyforge.org/documentation/tag/metainfo.html) is now escaped by default. This can be  
changed by setting the `tag.metainfo.escape_html` option in the  
configuration file. And a rake task for showing outdated translations  
has been added.

## 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 or Haml 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!

## Installation

gem install webgen

## Usage
