Hello Martin,
I just had a quick look on the new cross references feature which I missed in
the past for some documents I prepared. I have two suggestions which would
make the feature even more interesting I think:
1. Is there a way to create bookmarks automatically, e.g. to add all heading
as bookmarks automatically with just one click? Maybe by choosing up to which
level the bookmarks should be added (only chapter heading, chapter + section,
all headings...)
2. Would it be possible to extend the "Save contents" feature in a way that a
content with automatic crossreferences is saved? Because the contents also
needs to be changed everytime the document is changed. Ok, TechWriter already
offers the possibility to save it automatically, but often I need to make
manual changes to it in order to look more perfect. But I have to do that
again every time I create a new version for the document. So I wonder if it
would be possible to include at least the page number maybe even better the
heading text + autonumbering in the content? I understand that you could use
the cross reference feature even now but for a large document this is a lot
of work.
By the way, I think there is a small bug in TechWriter: When I open the
window so that it covers the whole screen and the choose the save the
contents, move it all the way to the bottom of the screen, so that the
iconbar pops into the front the contants is inserted at the current position
of the document although I did not release the mouse button. So my attention
was to call the iconbar to the front and drop the file to a text editor, but
this is not possible. It is reproduceable here and does not only affect
saving the contents but also the TechWriter document or the export formats.
Thanks anayway for the new feature, even without the suggestions I made it is
very usefull!
Michael
