Updates in V11.2

  • Reusable component
    A fragment of a topic can be extracted in a separate file for reuse in different topics. The component can be reused by inserting an element with a conref attribute where the content of the component is needed.
  • Add/remove content reference attribute to/from existing elements
    The DITA framework includes actions for adding, editing and removing a content reference (conref, conkeyref, conrefend attributes) to/from an existing element.
  • Speed improvements when opening large DITA maps
    When a map contains a large number of topic references now the map is opened three times faster in the DITA Maps Manager view.
  • Keep spaces in elements that are not modified
    A new option allows formating and saving only the modified elements. This keeps the formating of the other elements for easy comparing of the two versions of the file in a versioning system.
  • Improvement in Outline view
    The start of the content of an inline child element is displayed both in that element and in the parent element in the Outline view. The parent element may remain collapsed in the Outline view which makes the document navigation faster.
  • Workspace access plugin
    A new type of plugin was added. This plugin provides support for customizing the menus, toolbars and views of the application and for opening and closing documents. It is active in both Text mode and Author mode of all opened documents.
