I went ahead and got rid of the parsing. Right now, anything under the headers will be added verbatim to the content div of the template. That's it for now, more backgrounds are coming soon.
Only a few tweaks with CSS, and a handler for level two headers were added. I'm thinking about removing the handlers/parsing entirely and making it that the files need to be marked up by the author. This is in some ways a pain, but it provides much greater flexibility. I'm going to think about it some more, and continue with rolling-out improvements (on the site, the release comes when it is time, but the source is available by asking).
Today, uber has officially become XHTML 1.0 Strict compliant! This involved changing the handling for level one headers (no other headers are supported in uber at the moment), and also for blockquotes. Headers are to be placed on their own line or at the beginning of a line, and blockquotes must be placed on their own line. Also, blank lines are ignored, instead of producing empty paragraphs. These fixes aren't in the source currently available. They will be available in the next release, which will come after some more cleanup and a few fixes. As an aside, if one really wants to play with jamming everything on one line (not a good idea), then they can insert a paragraph close tag before the block-level element, and then a paragraph open tag after. Again, this is not encouraged. At all.
Today saw the addition of a new background, the random spray background, to the uber template. Also, uber is released under the GNU General Public License because I like it that way. Contact me for other licensing options.
