What's New?

Version 1.1.1 is available. This version fixes the bug where no links were created if the -incfile option was NOT used. I.e. In default operation, no links were created even if users have homepages.

Version 1.1.0 is available. Changes include:

Added the -incfile option for the ability to only check specified users for home pages.
Added the -excfile option for the ability to exclude specific users from being indexed.
If the -title string contains HTML tags, the tags are stripped out for the TITLE element, but preserved for the H1 element.
makehomeidx is now detects if the TITLE element is defined in the file specified by -header. If so, makehomeidx will *ignore* the -title argument and not insert the <html>, <head>, <body>, and <h1> tags. It is up to the header file to include them.
If a </body> or </html> tag exists in the -footer file, makehomeidx will not insert those tags in the output file.
