phpDOcumentor development update

Hello, phpDocumentor development is proceeding faster than usual. In the past week, the PDFdefaultConverter has been moved over to use Smarty templates. In order to make this possible, a text-based system of calling the Cezpdf functions had to be created, so I wrote a parser that looks for <text> <font> <newpage /> and the special <pdffunction:funcname />, used to call any method of Cezpdf, and thereby do low-level pdf output like vector graphics straight from the source. It's a simple solution that allows flexibility as Cezpdf is expanded to include other features. For the first time, the default PDF Converter can move from the pre-alpha stage to near-beta stage, as all features are implemented and it has been tested. The implementation of tutorials for both HTML and PDF converters is complete, example output from the current cvs, as always, is at http://www.joshuaeichorn.com/~CelloG/out There is one known bug in the tutorial conversion that has to do with certain tutorials being generated twice, and that will be worked out shortly. Next on the list is making the docbook converter output successful. I am going to slow WAY down in development speed in about 3 days, for obvious reasons. However, after that time, my real job will take full priority, and development will slow quite a bit. Anyone who wishes to help complete the next release, please contact Josh Eichorn at jeichorn@phpdoc.org So, unfortunately, there will be no release by Christmas, but we are very close. Take care, Greg -- phpDocumentor http://www.phpdoc.org
