New and Noteworthy
Identify Text Passages
For technical documents, such as specifications, it is useful to make text elements inside a section identifiable.
This version allows to render an identifier with the Content Marker Macro by
The above example shows definitions (Def...) and explanations (Expl...) numbered. The content is explicitly marked with the Content Marker Macro and tagged to be identified as definition or explanation. The numbers are added per position of the content.
For more information please refer to the tips Identify Document Elements and Merge Content.
Upgrade Instructions
Please follow this short guide to update to this new version of the projectdoc Toolbox. For detailed information on dependencies, please consult the documentation of the add-ons.
Installation Order
Please install the projectdoc Toolbox first, then the extensions.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| PDAC-1444 | Content Marker Wrapper Element Fix |

Use the space property 'projectdoc.debug-mode' to render issues with undefined terms. |
| PDAC-1455 | Fix Table Merger with named Columns |

| PDAC-1446 | Cache Update on Attachment Delete |
|
|
When a referenced attachment is deleted, the document is not removed from the cache. Then the link is still rendered as existing, but should be rendered as non existing. |

|
|
The introductional text of the Resource section contrains a typo for the Locale DE. |
