		<title>V.I.Lenin with Mao balancing on his head and myself.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Full name of this sculpture

is &#8220;Miss Mao Trying to Poise Herself at the Top of Lenin’s Head&#8221;. It is installed here in Richmond, BC, Canada. 
Standing near it was thinking a lot. The idea has something in it. I grew up with these names everywhere in USSR. And it is history now. Sic transit gloria [...]]]></description>

		<title>Printing support in Sciter.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sciter is getting print and print preview support. At the moment architecture and core functionality is established. Here is a screenshot of one of test pages demonstrating print preview:
Print preview is implemented as a native behavior that by default is assigned to any &#60;frame type=&#34;pager&#34;&#62; element. Print Preview by its nature is a frame containing [...]]]></description>

		<title>CSS or just MESS?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I believe that CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in its development has reached some point that could be classified as a mess.
I suspect that quantity of features has changed the quality of the whole foundation. And not exactly in good direction.
Look, CSS used to have simple and regular construction:
selector
{
  attribute1: value[s];
  attribute2: value[s];

		<description><![CDATA[In the middle of adding Windows Aero DWM support to HTMLayout and Sciter:

This is standard sample htmlayoutsdk/html_samples/border-radius/rounded-tabs.htm from the SDK
Seems like I need to add &#8220;aero&#8221; as an additional value to CSS @media selector in order to support such screens. This document is using simple html { background-color:transparent; } declaration to make it transparent.
And w7aero [...]]]></description>

		<title>Multi-return and multi-assignment in TIScript.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we know parameters of functions are passed by value in languages like TIScript and JavaScript. Inside the function we can modify paramaters and their new values will not be seen outside the function. 
Let&#8217;s say we need to implement function expand(rect, dx, dy) : rect that should increase dimensions of the rectangle.
If the rect [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stringizer functions in TIScript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Motivation.
Tasks of defining string expressions and textual fragments in script code are pretty common. 
Typical example in JS/browser is:
someelement.innerHTML =    &#34;&#60;span style=\&#34;color:#ffffff\&#34;&#62;&#34; + somestuff + &#34;&#60;/span&#62;&#34;;

As you see this could be quite noisy and complex to be comprehensible by human.
Various scripting languages are trying to reduce syntax noise in various ways. Scala [...]]]></description>

        return somevar;
