  • In rare circumstances the Generate Book from Map command would save the XML file as a binary FM file making it impossible to continue. This no longer happens.

Element templates are used for pre-populating a new file with custom content. For information on element templates, see Creating Element Templates in the DITA-FMx User Guide.
  • Build Map from Outline handles invalid para styles. If a paragraph style in the outline document references a style that doesn’t map to a topic type FM will no longer crash.
  • A conref to an xref will no longer cause FM to hang. Conrefs can now be made to simpletable elements (and related table types).
  • Fixed the "related info" links in the online Help (they weren't "clickable" for a very bizarre reason).
