- Some of the more significant changes are listed below:
-
- The mechanism by which emphasised text inherits from the
- enclosing paragraph had a bug. This meant that paragraphs that
- had emphasis from their first character could either lose their
- emphasis, or have the emphasis applied to the whole paragraph,
- rather than to the appropriate region of text. The scheme has
- been simplified and corrected.
-
- New destinations for text in W4W v6 showed up a bug in the
- handling of optionally ignorable destinations. This results in
- spurious text appearing in documents imported from W4W to the S3.
- Such destinations, and all nested destinations within them, are
- now correctly ignored if the optional destination is not
- recognised by the reader code.
-
- Negative line spacings (meaning a fixed line spacing to Microsoft
- Word) are now converted to positive values by the reader.
- Previously they were interpreted as very large line spacings,
- resulting in S3 documents with one line per page.
-
- Incoming negative left margin indents are now truncated to zero
- (they were previously interpreted as large positive indents,
- resulting in text being printed with one character per line).
-
- Added simple interpretation of tables in the reader. Each
- incoming table row is converted to a separate paragraph, with the
- cells separated by Tab characters. Note that this scheme does not
- cope with cells containing multiple paragraphs.
-
- The reader now takes note of the \deff<n> keyword and sets an
- appropriate default font.
-
- The reader now handles the \gutter keyword (simply by increasing
- the left page margin).
-
- The reader now responds to the \sect end of section keyword. The
- response is the same as for \par (end of paragraph).
-
- The additional Macintosh Word keywords \bullet, \endash, \emdash,
- \ldblquote, \rdblquote, \lquote and \rquote are handled on input.
- They are not output since they are not understood by DOS Word;
- this scheme maximises compatibility with both flavours of
- Microsoft Word.
