TIPS

•

Use "!#" to prevent a header from being include in the table of contents. Add your own custom back to TOC message "@TOC_BACK(Back to Index)@".

•

Date format strings are based on format strings supported by the Perl module Date::Format. The default format is "%Y-%m-%d" if no format is given.

•

Use the --nobody tag to return the HTML without the "<html><body></body></html>" wrapper. --raw mode will also return HTML without wrapper.
