Enhancements | Fixes | Incompatibilities
The contrib directory now contains an SDF mode for Emacs and a rudimentary RTF to SDF converter. Like other things in the contrib directory, these are unsupported but may be useful.
The other enhancements are:
Further details are provided below.
The documentation has been improved in a number of ways:
Thanks to Tim MacKenzie (Tim.MacKenzie@fulcum.com.au): tables output in txt format have been improved:
Thanks to Tim Hudson (tjh@cryptsoft.com), a number of new filters are now available:
Name | Description |
built-in: | |
nofill | format a set of lines |
simple | generic filter for building other filters |
defines.sdm: | |
product_defines | define products and variables for each |
section_defines | define section names as variables |
testcase.sdm: | |
testcases | collect testcases from A3s into a table at the end of document |
References can now be easily numbered and the numbers can be inserted in paragraph text. The new features which make this possible are:
For example:
H1: References !include "doc.reg"; references; columns='Cite,Document' H1: Some heading Refer to {{REF[cite]ABC}} and {{REF[cite]ME2}}.
If you want to put the reference table at the back of the document, it is necessary to forward declare which documents will be cited by using the cited parameter of the references filter. The table of cited references can then be built later by using the catalog macro. For example:
!include "doc.reg"; references; cited H1: Some heading Refer to {{REF[cite]ABC}} and {{REF[cite]ME2}}. H1: References !catalog references 'cited'; columns='Cite,Document'
FrameMaker 4.x compatibility has been improved thanks to a patch from Tim MacKenzie (Tim.MacKenzie@fulcum.com.au).
The document control section (on the inside of the front cover) of project documents has been improved. (In fact, it is now much easier to customise output of the build_title macro.)
The about filter was fixed to work better with documents formatted using the infomap look.
For Windows 3.x/MS-DOS users:
Date formatting for years >= 2000 has been fixed.
None.
