Hi, I remember you promised better SVG support, as well as a function to automatically open inserted images etc in its dedicated editor, by this release. What happened?
Nice work btw! /Kenneth -------------------------------------------------------- Kenneth Johansson Technical Documentation Manager Sectra Imtec AB Teknikringen 20 E-mail: ke-joh AT sectra DOT se SE-583 30 Link?ping Phone: +46 13 23 52 00 SWEDEN Web: http://www.sectra.se > -----Original Message----- > From: xmleditor-support-admin at pixware.fr > [mailto:xmleditor-support-admin at pixware.fr] On Behalf Of > Hussein Shafie > Sent: den 10 mars 2004 18:51 > To: xmleditor-announce at xmlmind.com; xmleditor-support at xmlmind.com > Subject: [XXE] XMLmind XML Editor V2.5 Patch 3 > > XMLmind XML Editor V2.5 Patch 3 can be downloaded from > http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml > > ============================= > V2.5 Patch 3 (March 10, 2004) > > Enhancements: > ------------- > > * User Request: the DocBook menu contains two > new commands: Increase Section Level and > Decrease Section Level. > > These commands require one or several section, > sect1, sect2, sect3, sect4 or sect5 elements > to be explicitly selected. > > Increase Section Level > This command will increase the level > of selected sections by giving them a > new parent section. > > Decrease Section Level > This command will decrease the level > of selected sections by moving them > out of their parent section. > > Of course, these two commands will do > everything needed to keep the document valid. > > Note that these two new commands, > incrSectionLevel and decrSectionLevel, are not > strictly DocBook-specific.
