Version 1.5.0.3 is released. As we promised it contains Anchor links. It was requested by many users. See previous news topic about changes in topic naming.
Also it is now possible to export an entire project to just one file using Microsoft's HTML Help. You can pack not only all topics in single file but even all your images and external file, making it handy to distribute your work to other people. For instance, it is possible to prepare study material for distribution.Version 1.5.0.3 contains several changes in date topics. A date topic is now rendered with a calendar which layout is controlled by project's style sheet. Since it was necessary to add new classes to ConnectedText's style sheets, during installation a backup copy is made of your files. If you changed any style sheet you will need to revise it.
Consult the Change Log to know what changed in ConnectedText. And read about the new features in the Welcome project.
Next version will contain:
- New plugins
- Table of contents view
- Table enhancements
Enjoy!

Some new features are almost ready for deliver, so we would like to provide some information about them in order to let you prepare your projects.
Anchors is one of the most commonly requested feature. In order to implement them it is necessary the use of character #, so it will be forbidden its use in topic titles starting in next version. So if you have topics with such character start changing them. If you do not change topic will remain valid but could be unreachable in links.
Another requested feature is ability to create self contained files with project contents. In next version will be possible to generate HTML Help files using ConnectedText in a very simple way. It will enable the distribution of your projects to other people without the need of ConnectedText. The generated file contains everything that belongs to your project, including images and external files. As an example take a look in the Welcome Project in HTML Help format.
