I’ve made some important enhancements to Image Engine, and bumped the version number to 4.0.2. Significant changes are as follows:

• Introduced improved handling of missing or incomplete HTML elements.

• Made a change to the method used to capture the slide description. Instead of trying to step through the child nodes of the <dd> element, the entire innerHTML string is captured. This enables the use of anchor tags and other formatting within the image descriptions.

• Added support for unordered lists – <ul>, as well as definition lists – <dl>. Using unordered lists means that there will be no image description; only the image title and the slide number will be displayed.

• If no alt attribute is supplied for the slide thumbnails, then an attempt will be made to parse the filename from the image path.
