What's New in Document! X 2011

Content Authoring

Floating Document Windows: Multi Monitor Support through floating document windows - tear off a document window and position or maximize it on a secondary monitor. A truly effective way to work with Topics side by side utilizing all your available monitor space.

Xhtml source editor intellisense: Context sensitive intellisense prompting and automatic tag closing when working in the Xhtml source editor. Start typing a tag and a drop down list of available attributes for that tag appears. Type the open tag character and a list of the valid tags for the current parent tag appears. Type the open quote for an enumeration attribute (e.g. align) and a list of valid values appears.

Localization

Improved Localization Support: Choose specific encodings for secondary locales and different spelling dictionaries that will automatically be used when editing in secondary locales. Ships with several secondary dictionaries built in.

Manage Localization of Content Files: Content Files can now contain content for multiple locales which in turn enables the Localization Report to track the translation status of individual items and for content to be exported and imported as part of a translation workflow in the same way as other project content.

Source Control

Subversion Integration: Use the popular open source Subversion source control server to provide team working and versioning features for your projects. All the rich source control integration features available for other Source Control providers are supported.

Web Output

Google Chrome Local Help: Security restrictions in the Google Chrome browser prevent traditional web help framesets viewed from locally installed files from working correctly. This release include a fix for this issue so that installing local web help that will work with Google Chrome is possible.

Java

Java documentation support: Support for documenting java projects. Leverages all existing Javadoc comments and produces a fresh, modern and functional alternative to plain Javdoc output. Outputs the necessary files to integrate your documentation with popular Java IDEs for instant F1 and tooltip support. All of the Content File editing features are available for Java projects allowing you to override or enhance the content coming from Javadoc source comments.

User Interface

Window Layout Management: Save and switch between different window layouts for different usage scenarios. Save a specific layout to suit your preference for a particular task. The current window layout is automatically saved between sessions.

Dynamic Spell Check Throughout: Anywhere that spell checked content appears (e.g. Project Explorer, Table of Contents editor, document window tabs) now features dynamic spell checking (red dotted underlining of potential spelling errors). Spell checking is also present in the Properties window and text boxes for spell checked content (e.g. Build Profile Title). Simply click on a spelling highlight (right click for text boxes) to instantly correct or ignore the marked word. Locale specific dictionaries are automatically used when working in secondary locales.

Integrated Tools

Import

Project Import: Import content from another project.
