7134289 Mar 20205.9800-beta-13

Modified: Microsoft Word import (*.docx format) to use:

 psml-split-config.xml

this provides a much faster and more flexible importing framework than converting and splitting documents in a single process.

Projects using the <split> element from the earlier word-import-config.xml should remove it and use the psml-split-config.xml instead.

The <split> element will continue to work in existing implementations but cannot be modified. Any changes will automatically force a migration to the new split config.

7127889 Mar 20205.9800-beta-13

Added: support for a new property with datatype="markup", this property can contain the following elements and any content the can contain:

  • <heading>
  • <para>
  • <list>

  • <preformat>

However the user interface for this property does not currently support the following:

  • <xref>
  • <image>
  • <inline>
  • <block>
7058429 Mar 20205.9800-beta-13

Added: to editor-config.xml, a way to control document and fragment creation parameters.

7051789 Mar 20205.9800-beta-13

Added:  source/@type="batch" to publish-config.xml

Also added is a default publish script to batch export documents from search results.

7072363 Mar 20205.9800-beta-13

71282425 Feb 20205.9800-beta-13

Added: generation of webhook events if documents in a publication are added, updated, removed or deleted.

     [rules that override default for
      documents with "appendix" label]

   ...  
</config>

Existing pdf-export-config.xml files that include any region elements (<body>, <header>, <footer>, <left>, <right>) will no longer inherit region properties from the default config and must be redefined.

Also for existing config files – to right align prefixes, add the following to each paragraph indent level:

<element name="para-prefix" level="1">

69226323 Sep 20195.9800-beta-1

Modified: the Table of Contents (ToC) as follows:

  • Heading levels are reset after the <toc> element so front matter does not affect the heading levels that follow.
  • The process ANT task so headings that occur before the <toc> element are not included in the Table of Contents.
  • Default publication config to support paragraph numbering with parent heading at any level.
69226623 Sep 20195.9800-beta-1

Added: support to Schematron so the document function can include the results of a search e.g.

<sch:let
  name="definitions"
  value="document(
  'ps:search?filters=psdocumenttype:definition)" />

This will return search results from the group where the validation was launched and can use any parameters from the group-search service.

If the parameter project=myproject is used then all groups the user has access to under that project will be searched. To restrict the groups use the groups parameter with a comma separated list of group names. To maximize performance, the results of up to 30 searches are cached and reused for the validation of each single folder or batch search.

69215318 Sep 20195.9800-beta-1

Added: support to PSML for @multiple="true" on <property> which replaces the @count="n" attribute.

The @count on <property> is deprecated. While these continue to work they should be updated to use @multiple="true". Editing in the v6 UI will update this automatically. Use the "old psml" Schematron validation to find documents with the deprecated attribute. Use "Validate all" on the Document types page to find it in document templates.

69116618 Sep 20195.9800-beta-1

Modified: the v6 UI so the Word/PDF export configs/templates display in the Publication types section instead of the Document types page. This transition is because the Word/PDF export is now based on the publication-type instead of the document-type.

The default Word/PDF export config/template files have moved from:

 template/default/psml/default

to

template/default/publication/default

Any ANT scripts referencing these files must be updated.

68061118 Sep 20195.9800-beta-1

Modified: the database as follows:

  • Removed unused table ARC 
  • Added table PUBLICATION_FOR_LOCATOR 

After this update, starting PageSeeder for the first time will trigger a build of the PUBLICATION_FOR_LOCATOR table. Depending on the number and size of publications, this process may take some time. View the build progress through the following log file:

pageseeder/webapp/WEB-INF/state/logs/process/process.xlog
6911273 Sep 20195.9800-beta-1

Added: support for <placeholder name="my-property"> element in PSML (only supported in v6 UI).
