Help & Manual Basic 8.4.4 Build 5960

Released: May 28, 2022

Updates in 8.4.4 Build 5960

Features

  • Configuration - When changing the 'Translation-friendly XML' option, 'topic time stamps' and 'last edited' by are kept by default. This function is particularly important for the Help+Manual Translation Assistant.
  • Project Report - Extended, long and full project reports now include topic comments.
  • Equation Objects - Added vertical alignment for “top”, “middle” and “bottom”.
  • Word/RTF Import - Keywords that contain a “: ” (colon + a space) are separated into 2-level keywords.
  • SVG Images - Improved display of SVG images created by Microsoft PowerPoint.
  • Screen Capture - The screen capture tool has additional functionality for stand-alone use.

Fixes

  • DeepL Plugin - Internal bug fix when encoding UTF8 payload for translation, which may have caused DeepL to return distorted XML in some cases.
  • Figure Labels - If the text line following a figure label object contained a topic-specific variable, this variable was not replaced with the current variable in the PDF table-of-figures (global variables worked). Bug fix for figure labels not included in the figure list (could have caused an endless loop and H&M crashing)
  • HelpXplain in Webhelp - On computers with system locale Chinese (simplified and traditional), the loader script for HelpXplain presentations had the wrong encoding. HTML topic pages that hosted an Xplain contained damaged HTML code.
