Notes

Release Notes

If the recipe has multiple releases, then release notes can be placed here. Note that it's often easier for people to work with "release dates" instead of "version numbers".

Comments

I changed the checkbox code in the example above. I believe the correct code would be "checked=checked" like this:
(:input checkbox name="sitesearch" value="pmwiki.org" checked=checked :)
instead of checked=1 like it was before:
(:input checkbox name="sitesearch" value="pmwiki.org" checked=1 :)
I guess browsers don't seem to care any more but I've run into problems using "1".
