possibly.
- Character for hyphenation in HTML included
- The entities –, — and
… are used for HTML.
- Setting links for the navigation through a project of HTML
sites via the element <link>. The following attributes
are suppoerted: contents, start, first, previous, prev, next,
last and copyright
The links for first, last and previous
are only vaild for CAB (perhaps iCab). The link for copyright
introduces a link to aboutudo and in this case will be built.
CAB doesn't support the attribute target, when using the
element <link>. Therfore this link-Element doesn't work
so properly if frames are used.
- If frames are built for HTML output, there will be built a
<noframes></noframes> area with a table of contents too.
Therefor browser, which doesn't knows frames, can read the content.
Rich Text Format (RTF)
- Paragraph checks for orphans and widows are used now.
