  • The '$' escape method is not quite right. This will cause a warning during processing:
        <SET cost=$$3.25>
        <IMG SRC="price.gif" ALT=$cost>
    
    On the second line, the IMG markup, htp will try to re-evaluate the "$3.25" as a macro, and when it doesn't find one in the macro list, report a warning of an unrecognized macro name. Other than that, the output will be fine. Unfortunately, if the "cost" macro is set to a $-preceded name that matches another macro, htp will continue and replace the string with the macro's value.

  • Dependency checking is not completely functional. Right now, the dependency check function is not expanding macros or examining image files as part of its search. Again, this is something I will attack in a future release.

  • The GIF processing is not correct. Andrew Ward has pointed out that the location htp assumes to be the picture dimensions is actually the recommended screen display dimensions. I will investigate and fix in the future. Note that in most cases, this is acceptable since they are one and the same, but no guarantees.
