1.1.11 - 10 January 2011
New
Features
- Enables
“proper” handling of booklists elements.
- The INIOnly/UseBooklistPlaceholder INI parameter
enables the “proper” handling of frontmatter and backmatter automatic
list generation where the @href attribute is empty rather than requiring
placeholder files. For details, see the “UseBooklistPlaceholder”
description in INI-Only Settings.
- Added support for language-specific
book-build INI files.
- The INIOnly/UseLanguageTemplate INI parameter
enables support for alternate language book-build INI files based
on the value of the topic/@xml:lang attribute. For details, see
the “UseLanguageTemplate” description in INI-Only Settings.
- Added support for table cell rotation.
- Rotated table cells will round-trip properly
and are rendered properly in generated book components. For details,
see Working with Tables.
- Enhancements to the book-build process.
- Five new parameters have been added to the
book-build INI file. In the General section, the AttrAsCondPrefix
parameter lets the user specify an alternate prefix for conditions
generated from map attributes. In the BookBuildOverrides section
the MoveFigId and MoveTableId parameters support proper referencing
of table titles and figure titles, the BreakToInline parameter allows
for better indenting of images, and the NormalizeConditions parameter
eliminates the inconsistent show/hide setting and inconsistent condition
indicator messages when updating a book. For details, see Book-Build INI file.
- New DITA File dialog pre-selects
last used element template.
- When an element template is used to create
a specific topic type, that same template will be pre-selected when
that topic type is created again.
- Added “Merge Para Tags” command.
- The Merge Para Tags command ensures that
all paragraph tag names in all currently open documents, exist in
all of those documents. For more information, see Merge Para Tags.

Bug Fixes
- Significant
improvements to handling of graphic overlay objects.
- The time required to open and save files
that contain graphic overlay objects has been reduced significantly.
- data and data-about elements are
not deleted during book-build.
- The XSLT import script no longer deletes
the data and data-about elements from topics during a book-build.
- topicref/@print=’no’ is now honored
in book-build.
- Topic references in a map that have the @print
attribute set to “no” are now omitted from the generated book files.
- fm-xref references to “moved” table
and figure titles work properly.
- Cross-references created with the fm-xref
element will resolve properly even when the “Move title” options
are selected in the book-build options.
- All figure titles are rendered properly
in the generated FM files.
- The first figure title is no longer deleted
from each chapter when the “move” option is used.
- fm-link insertion no longer produces
an error message.
- Inserting an fm-link in FM9 no longer generates
an invalid error message.
- RelLinkType parameter is no longer
ignored in the book-build INI file.
- When specifying the related link type in
the book-build INI file, the RelLinkType value will is now honored.
- The Rebuild Variables in book-builds
feature works properly now.
- Selecting the Rebuild Variables option in
the Book Build Options dialog or using the RebuildVars parameter
in a book-build INI file will now enable previously “prepared” variables
to be rebuilt in the generated FM files.
