* 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)
