We're proud to present the latest release of the Markup: 0.2.0.

Markup is a Python library that provides an integrated set of  
components for stream-based parsing, generating, and processing of  
HTML or XML content in a uniform manner. The major feature is a  
template language, which is heavily inspired by Kid.

What's New:
-----------
  * XPath syntax errors now contain position info (ticket #20).
  * Errors in expression evaluation now contain the correct line
    number in the template (ticket #22).
  * <script> and <style> element contents are no longer escaped when
    using HTML serialization (ticket #24).
  * In some cases expressions in templates did not get interpolated
    (ticket #26).
  * CDATA sections are now passed through the pipeline and serialized
    correctly. That allows using <script> or <style> elements in
    XHTML output that is still compatible with HTML user agents.
  * The XHTML serializer now correctly handles elements in foreign
    namespaces (such as SVG or MathML).
  * Fixed relative includes in templates on Windows (ticket #27).
  * Output can be encoded using legacy codecs such as ISO-8859-1.
    Any character not representable in the chosen encoding gets
    replaced by the corresponding XML character reference.
  * String literals in XPath expressions that contain spaces are now
    parsed as expected.
  * Added support for the XPath functions boolean(), ceiling(),
    concat(), contains(), false(), floor(), normalize-space(),
    number(), round(), starts-with(), string-length(), substring(),
    substring-after(), substring-before(), translate(), and true().
  * Non-ASCII characters in expressions should now be handled
    correctly (ticket #29).
  * Default values for arguments of template functions now also
    work with constants and complex expressions (they only worked
    for string or number literals before).
  * XPath expressions in now support XPath variables ($var) in
    predicates (ticket #31).
  * Expressions in templates can now span multiple lines if they are
    enclosed in curly braces.
  * py:def macros can now be invoked from within expressions inside
    attribute values (ticket #34).
