Requested Features:

There needs to be an character filter routine. For instance, some strings may contain commas or quates which may not be desired within the HTML output file. The filter routine would use strip out the undesired character (exp. commas or quotes).

Complete the IsReservedTagName() routine which is designed to perform specific tasks based on the presence of researved Tag name read from the template.htm file 


LICENSING:
===========================
See \doc\license.txt



Bug Report
=======================

All tags within the InputFile must also be in the template file. Failure to meet this requirement will cause the program to error out. 

A TAG name needs to be shorter then the string that is replacing it. Failure to comply will result in the TAG not be replaced, but mearly shifted with the rest of the text.
This has been CORRECTED in v1.1.0

When importing a description file, the generator appends some comments from the previous import file. This seems to simply be a failure to clean the memory after an import file is processed.
This has been CORRECTED in v1.1.0

The generator needs to search for an alternate graphic file type in the supplied ones failed. For instance, if a graphic filename of wigit.jpg is not found, then the program should search for wigit.gif
This has been CORRECTED in v1.1.0
