Ronn v0.7.3 Release Notes
Release Date: 2010-06-24 // almost 14 years ago-

Previous changes from v0.7.0

HTML: Manual references (like 'grep(1)', 'ls(1)', etc.) are now hyperlinked based on a set of name -> URL mappings defined in an index.txt file. The index may also define links to things that aren't manuals for use in markdown reference-style links. See the ronn(1) manual on LINK INDEXES for more inforation: http://rtomayko.github.com/ronn/ronn.1.html#LINK-INDEXES (rtomayko)

An undocumented --markdown format option argument has been added to ronn(1). When given, ronn generates a ..markdown file with the post-processed markdown text. This is mostly useful for debugging but may be useful for converting ronn-format to 100% compatible markdown text. (rtomayko)
The ronn(5) manpage is now known as ronn-format(7) (section 5 is limited to configuration files and stuff like that historically). The old ronn(7) manpage, which was really just the README, has been removed. (rtomayko)
