![]() □ User interface and overall experience enhancementsĪs with every updates, we’ve enhanced and polished many parts of the HelpNDoc help authoring tool so that technical writers can concentrate on their work with as little friction as possible. Some syntax highlighters have also been improved to better handle new language features and keywords. The script editor’s popup now displays user scripts before system ones, as they are more likely to be used more often. Alongside, the script editor is now faster to draw and scroll its content, and includes various bug fixes and enhancements. The script execution and debugging engines have been greatly enhanced to be faster, more reliable and secure.

We’ve also improved the topic editor’s popup menu to display all available paste actions, such as “Paste as text” and “Paste special”. This behavior can now be changed by holding the CTRL keyboard shortcut: any previously applied style will be reset before applying the new style, thus saving valuable time to define content format. When applying a style to the selected content, any overridden text style are kept and merged with the new style. HelpNDoc supports default topic properties for newly created topics, such as defining a default icon, topic kind, header and footer… It is now possible to define a snippet as the default topics’ content.Ī new option is available to display library items smaller: instead of displaying a large box, “documents”, “snippets” and “HTML code” library items can now optionally be displayed as a smaller boxes to avoid using too much space in the topic editor. ![]() □ Topics do not have to start blank: use snippets as the default topics’ content Note: This feature is only available in the Ultimate Edition of HelpNDoc.
