This release fixes a warning generated when makefaq 2.4 was used with Python 2.3 regarding the lack of source code encoding specified in PEP263. No new features were added. This release was purely to make it so that Python 2.3 users will not see a warning.
The most important new feature is a function that
allows your FAQ data file to be exported into
DocBook XML, which can then be processed into PDF
or other formats using the standard DocBook
processing tools and XSLT stylesheets. This allows
the FAQ itself to remain in the very simple data
format of makefaq, while allowing the higher level
of formatting possible through DocBook tools. The
release also provides a new command-line option,
-N, to suppress numbering of the questions, and
minor code cleanup.
This release includes the minor enhancement of a new commandline option to add a "Return to top" link after each FAQ entry. Additionally, the HTML FAQ page now links to a CSS stylesheet by default.
A minor bug that caused the "FAQ Revised" date to be incorrect was corrected. A
man page and a Debian package were added. A set of Portuguese localized phrases
was also added.
A new data file format that allows for multi-line entries (users no longer have to enter the category, question, and answer all on a single line), and support for easy localization of the time and text strings for use in non-English settings.
