21 | <para>This is a feature release that includes some significant
|
---|
22 | schema changes as well as fixes for a few bugs. The feature
|
---|
23 | changes include newly added support for generating presentations
|
---|
24 | in HTML Help format. There are also experimental versions of
|
---|
25 | stylesheets for generating presentations in Keynote and SVG
