RoboHelp Import
 |
HyperText Studio can import any RoboHelp XPJ Project file with nearly
all RoboHelp functionality intact. Full details are available on our Upgrading
from RoboHelp page. |
WYSIWYG expanding regions
View a demonstration of this feature
 |
Many website and help files now include areas of a page
that expand when you click a link. Creating these expanding regions has
been very difficult and required a knowledge of scripting. However, in
HyperText Studio 5.0 this all changes. Our new expanding regions feature
gives you totally WYSIWYG editing of these regions, meaning no more guesswork
about how your page is going to look.
In addition, the HyperText Studio allows you to specify an icon to be
associated with your link, giving the viewers of your page a clear indication
of the open or closed status of your drop-down region.
|
Links to expanding regions
 |
If you want to reuse content in multiple expanding regions,
HyperText Studio makes this very easy with two new window types, expanding
block and expanding inline. HyperText Studio will automatically convert
links to these windows into expanding regions when your project is built.
As with normal expanding links, you can specify an icon to be associated
with each of the two window options.
|
Create Glossary Topic
 |
The new Insert | Glossary Topic command, available in the
contents tree is a fantastic new time saving feature. The glossary topic
will automatically create a glossary based on all children of the glossary
topic every time that you build. This means you never have to update your
glossaries again.

|
Predictive Linking
View a demonstration of this feature
 |
Creating links just got a whole lot easier with the Hypertext
Studio's new predictive linking feature. When you create a link the
Hypertext Studio will try to find any topics with the same name as the
selected text. If one is found, it is selected for you, saving even
more time. If the selected text is an Internet link then the Internet
link page is displayed with your content as the URL. |
Topic status and sorting in topics list
View a demonstration of this feature

|
Each topic now has a status property, making it easy for
you to see what still needs to be done. The status of all topics
can be viewed from the improved topics list and multiple topics can have
their status changed in the topics list. In addition, the new topic
status page allows you to add a comment for each topic as well as some
indications of the time spent on the topic.
Topics in topics list can now be sorted by title, filename and status.
This makes it very easy to view the status of your topics and which topics
still have work to be done. Once again, saving development time.
|
Save Tree State
When you exit the Hypertext Studio, it stores the state of the all trees in
the project manager. When you reopen your project everything is restored
including selected and expanded items.
Flash
 |
The Hypertext Studio 5.0 allows you to insert Macromedia
Flash content directly into the WYSIWYG editor. This gives you all
the referential integrity you have come to expect from HyperText Studio
so when you change the filename or move the file around, all the links
are changed. |
New Filename Field and dialog.
 |
Improvements have been made to the field system, so that
you can now specify a format such as uppercase or lower case for your fields.
In addition in the new dialog you can add a new file name field type. |
Crash Reporting
In the unlikely event that the application crashes, a new crash reporting
dialogue displays that will allow you to send us the details of the crash so
that we can provide the quickest possible fix.
Tab to rename file.
When editing a topic title in the tree, you can now tab to edit the file name,
making it easier than ever to change content.
Title changes filename
