Help & Manual Floating 8.3.0 Build 5750

Improves handling of Asian fonts.
January 26, 2021
New Version

Features

  • Improved handling of Asian fonts.
    • Added a new global option to automatically translate Asian font names when a project or topic is loaded.
    • Chinese characters in style names are now supported.
  • Xplains used to be exported to ePUB as simple images, now they adhere to the export settings (as defined per Xplain) for DOCX/PDF/Print.
    • Added a new setting to the ePUB configuration page to export Xplains natively, that is embedded and scripted.
    • The ePUB manifest has been updated to integrate those scripted pages properly and mark them as ‘scripted’.
  • eWriter eBooks: updated viewer application, now supports <track> tags for video subtitles.
  • DeepL Translation Plugin: the Translate and Apply button now have optional keyboard shortcuts. The internal XML code sent to DeepL has been updated to improve spacing issues in the DeepL translation process.
  • Inline Text Toggles support optional icons.
  • DeepL Translation Plugin: the translation glossary is now applied to plain text as well (topic captions and keywords).
  • Image Shortcuts Gallery: the drop-down image gallery load method has been modified to better distribute the load time when accessing remote drives.
  • Equations in HTML: equations are exported to HTML as transparent PNG images at twice their display size, to improve the appearance on high-resolution displays.
  • Symbol Fonts in HTML: Help+Manual can export certain user-defined fonts as inline SVG. The fill-rule for those inline SVG has been changed to “nonzero” to improve the appearance of overlapping characters such as script fonts.
  • Email links in Webhelp: all email links (mailto://) now have an explicit target attribute. While this attribute is usually ignored by the web browser, it might apply if the default email app is GMail or a similar web service. The target attribute ensures that the email app opens in a new tab or window.
