• Crowbook now requires Rustc 1.7.0.
• It is now possible to render HTML in multiple files:
  • output.html_dir will activate this renderer, and specify in
    which directory to render these files;
  • html_dir.css allows to override the CSS for this rendering;
  • html_dir.index.html allows to specify a template for the
    index.html page;
  • html_dir.chapter.html allows to specify a template for the
    chapters pages.
• New book options:
  • tex.short: if set to true, the LaTeX renderer will use
    article instead of book as document class, and will use the
    default \maketitle command for article. This option is by
    default set to false, except when Crowbook is called with
    --single.
  • enable_yaml_blocks: parsing YAML blocks is no longer activated
    by default, except when using --single. This is because you
    might want to have e.g. multiple short stories using YAML blocks
    to set their titles and so on, and a separate .book file to
    render a book as a collection of short stories. In this case,
    you wouldn't want the displayed title or the
    output.pdf/html/epub files be redefined by the short stories .md
    files.
  • html.print_css: allows to specify a stylesheet for media print
  • html.display_chapter: displays one chapter at a time in
    standalone HTML
  • html.script: allows to specify a custom javascript file for
    standalone HTML
  • html_dir.script: same thing for multipage HTML
  • resources.base_path: by default, Crowbook resolves local links in
    markdown files relatively to the markdown file. This option
    allows to resolve them relatively to a base path. This option
    comes with two variants, resources.base_path.images and
    resources.base_path.links, which only activate it for respectively
    images tags and links tags. These two options are ignored when
    base_path is set. There is also resources.base_path.files
    which specify where additional files (see below) should be read,
    but this is one is set to . (i.e., the directory where the
    .book file is) by default.
  • resources.files: indicate a (whitespace-separated) list of
    files that should be embedded. Currently only used with the EPUB
    renderer.
  • resources.out_path: indicate where resources.files should be
    copied in the final document. Default to data, meaning that
    files will be placed in a data directory in the EPUB.
• Rendering:
  • Templates can now use localized strings according to the lang
    option
  • Standalone HTML now includes locale files using base64.
  • Standalone HTML displays one chapter at a time, thouht it can be
    changed via a button in the menu.
  • HTML/EPUB: default CSS now uses the lang value do determine
    how to display lists (currently the only difference is it uses
    "–" when lang is set to "fr" and standard bullets for other
    languages).
• Bugfixes:
  • Fixed a bug of filename "resolution" when Crowbook was called
    with --single (e.g., crowbook -s tests/test.md would
    previously try to load `tests/tests/test.md).
  • Epub renderer now uses the mime_guess library to guess the
    mime type based on extension, which should fix the mime type
    guessed for a wide range of extensions (e.g., svg).
• Internal/API:
  • The Book::new, new_from_file, and new_from_markdown_file
    take an additional options parameter. To create a book with
    default options, set it to &[].
