This is the first maintenance update for Help+Manual 10. In the last three weeks since the initial release of version 10 on September 4, we have implemented several bug fixes and generally improved the Markdown parser (this also affects the new ChatGPT plugin).
Update 10.0.1 Build 7421
New Features:
- The Insert Link dialog shows a topic preview for external links
- Docked windows (keyword index tool, search results) now remember size and position
- Markdown handling improved:
- Copy & paste of Markdown code: additional heading styles are auto-created
- Load topic from Markdown file: auto-created heading styles and improved formatting
- Create project from a list of Markdown files: improved formatting
- ChatGPT:
- ChatGPT prompt entry box supports Markdown as input
- Improved text formatting when copying content from the chat window to the current topic
- Online help updated: how to translate and edit topics with ChatGPT
Bug Fixes:
- Bug fixes in Word (DOCX) Export
- Publish dialog: if a project contained a lot of custom builds, some builds could not be selected
- Reconnect repositories: when repository styles needed to be resolved, the German version (only) failed to display the resolve-styles window.
- Move TOC items to the right: in some cases, selected entries were moved to the wrong position
- HTML Help (.CHM) export: the option to highlight image hotspots was ignored, the CHM export used the corresponding setting of the Webhelp export.
- Edit Table dialog: table style name was not selected
- Publishing Tasks: creating a new publishing task caused an error on save
- HTML Topic Templates: adding a new topic template created an error
- Webhelp standard skins contained an invalid link to the help context numbers file
- Several optical glitches fixed regarding dark mode, high-res monitors, German translation and in very rare cases flickering of the Publish dialog and Import dialog.
