機能

DITA Editing

  • Edit DITA Change History using Form Controls - You can now use inline actions and form controls in the DITA prolog section to quickly add, edit, or delete change history entries, including setting completion dates and updating revision details, so you can keep audit trails accurate.

DITA Publishing

  • Character-Level Fallback Fonts - For DITA to PDF publishing, you can now use the new enable.character.level.font.fallback parameter to enable character-level font fallbacks so that mixed-language content (for example, Latin and non-Latin) is rendered correctly in the same document.

S1000D

  • Editing and Validation - You can now edit S1000D documents with schema-guided editing, content completion, and validation support: XML Schema-based validation, and currently BREX-based validation through conversion to Schematron.
  • Visual Editing and Actions - You can now visually edit S1000D documents in the Author page and switch between full-width, print preview, or large-font styles. Use dedicated actions to insert and edit tables, lists, and text styling.
  • New File Templates - You can now create new S1000D data modules or publication modules for issues 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 using the provided file templates.

  • Smart Paste for S1000D Documents - You can now paste content from web browsers or Word documents into S1000D documents while preserving structure and formatting.
  • CGM Add-on Update - The CGM add-on that adds support for rendering CGM images in the Author visual editor has been updated to use the latest jcgm version 2.0.5 library.

File/Directory Comparison

  • Control Comment Callout Width and Visibility - You can now choose the width used for rendering comment callouts using the new Comment callout width option in the File Comparison Appearance preferences page, so you can better control how much space they take in the comparison view. You can also toggle displaying comment callouts when comparing files in Author mode using the Show comment callouts toolbar button.
  • Timestamps and User Information in Comparison Reports - Your comparison reports now include metadata about who ran the comparison, when it was run, and how long it took. This helps you track and audit comparison activity over time. For HTML reports, this information is also displayed in the browser in a collapsible section.
