* Replace tiny bitmaps with base64-encoded URIs
* Optimize SVGs; replace logo PNG with SVG
* Modernize favicon
* Embed CSS; a bit unorthodox, but we’re a single page so there’s no point in separate .css files and their separate HTTP requests
* Documentation is now markdown, converted to HTML on compilation
* Render the examples when we’re rendering index.html; they compile so quickly that there’s no need to pre-render them and save the intermediate .js files
* Split apart index.html into components that Cakefile assembles, so that we can add in logic to include different files for v1 versus v2
* Split building index.html and building test.html into two tasks; collapse the parts of `releaseHeader` into one compact function
* Move include logic into templates
* Get error messages tests to work in the browser
* Update output index.html
* Split body into nav and body
* Watch subtemplates
* Revert "Split body into nav and body"
This reverts commit ec9e559ec0.
* Add marked
* Update gitignore
* Use idiomatic markdown output for code blocks (<pre><code>)
* Handle ids within the template, not in the Cakefile; remove marked’s auto-generated and conflicting ids
* Move the `codeFor` function into versioned folders, so that v1 and v2 docs can have different example code blocks/editors
* Update packages, including new highlight.js which supports our newer keywords and triple backticks (docs output is unchanged)

## Switch/When/Else
|
|
|
|
**Switch** statements in JavaScript are a bit awkward. You need to remember to **break** at the end of every **case** statement to avoid accidentally falling through to the default case. CoffeeScript prevents accidental fall-through, and can convert the `switch` into a returnable, assignable expression. The format is: `switch` condition, `when` clauses, `else` the default case.
|
|
|
|
As in Ruby, **switch** statements in CoffeeScript can take multiple values for each **when** clause. If any of the values match, the clause runs.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
codeFor('switch')
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Switch statements can also be used without a control expression, turning them in to a cleaner alternative to if/else chains.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
codeFor('switch_with_no_expression')
|
|
```
