PNG/JPEG compression

Post by Pablo »

PNG/JPEG compression
- New feature: Added PNG/JPEG compression for dynamically generated images (shapes, drawing tools, images with filters etc.). This makes it possible to optimize images for quality or performance (larger images look better but take more time to download and process). Support 10 levels.

Multi-Page Properties

Post by Pablo »

Multi-Page Properties
- New feature: Added Multi-Page Properties tool to modify selected properties for multiple (selectable) pages at once. This makes it possible for example to quickly change the master page for a group of pages. But also, background properties, meta tags, page extension etc. Only the modified value(s) will be applied to all selected pages!

HTML/CSS

Post by Pablo »

HTML/CSS
- New feature: Added the ability to use semantic HTML5 tags. Tools->Options->HTML->Use HTML5 Semantic Tags. When this option is enabled WWB will automatically output semantic HTML5 tags instead of divs. For example, page header <header> page footer <footer>, navigation <nav>.

Image

Image

- New feature: Added 'Move external CSS style sheets to the end of the page'. This is often recommended by Google PageSpeed Insights to improve the performance of the page. Note however that this also may affect the way to page is rendered because styles are loaded after the content has been load, resulting in flicker. Also some scripts may not support this because they expect the style to be between the head tags. Please read the help for more details!

Image

- New feature: Added 'CSS visibility property' (visibility vs display) HTML/CSS options. This option controls the way objects are hidden. When using 'visibility:hidden' hidden objects will not be visible but they still affect the layout (just like in previous versions of WWB). On the other hand 'display:none' removes the object from the layout so it no longer affects the size of the page. This can be useful when hiding objects that are not inside the page boundaries in breakpoints.

Text

Text
- Improved: When using "enable responsive fonts" the text alignment is now also responsive, so you can have different alignments in breakpoints.

- New feature: Text styles now display a style gallery with preview. To quickly modify a style, right and select ‘Modify’.

Image

- New feature: Add 'Create a style' option. Create a style based on the formatting of the selected text.

Image

Spell Checker

Table

Post by Pablo »

Table
- Improved: The sort tool now includes all data in the table. So, for example if you sort a column then the other columns will be moved too. Also, the style of the cells will be included, not only the text, so cells keep their own styling.

- New feature: Added cell alignment options to the Ribbon and context menu of the table to quickly set the alignment of one or multiple table cells.

Image

- New feature: Added border-collapse option. The border-collapse property sets whether the table borders are collapsed into a single border or detached as in standard HTML.

Image

Image

- New feature: Added the possibility to set the border-width of table cells. This replaces 'enable cell borders'.

- New feature: Added 'Striped row color' option to add zebra-striping to the table rows.

Image

Image

- New feature: Added 'Hover rows color' option to enable a hover state on table rows.

Image

Image

- New feature: Added 'Header row' option. This will output the first row as header cells (<th> instead or <td>).

Image

- New feature: Added 'Table Styles' gallery. This allows you to quickly update the style of your tables. You may know this feature from MS Office. 30 predefined styles are currently available.

Image

- New feature: Added size mode 'Automatic' (in addition to 'pixels' and 'percentages'). When using this mode, the table cells will be automatically sized based on their content. This makes it possible to use a table in layout grid layouts.

Image

- New feature: Added 'Import data from text file'. A quick way to get data from a comma separated text file into the table.

Image

- New feature: Added the possibility to add objects inside table cells. When you drag an object inside a cell then it will automatically become an object container. Any text that was in the table cell will no longer be visible (until you remove the object again). Multiple objects can be inside a single cell and they will be floating, just like in a layout grid. Note however that tables are not meant to be used for layout purposes. The main reason why this functionality was added is to make it possible to add images to the table. For example, as part of a list.

Picture

Post by Pablo »

Picture
- New feature: Added 'Picture' object. The HTML5 <picture> element is a container used to specify multiple images for different viewport or screen resolutions. The browser will choose the most suitable image according to the current layout of the page and the device it will be displayed on.
You can specify different images for breakpoints. It also supports high resolution displays using pixel density descriptors such as 1x, 1.5x, 2x, and 3x. For example you can include different versions of the image by using names like: filename@1.5x.png, filename@2x.png
The picture object supports rotation using standard CSS3 transforms. Plus experimental support for CSS3 filters (blur, contrast, brightness, hue, saturation, negative, sepia, grayscale)

Error Reports

Post by Pablo »

Error Reports

- New feature: Error Reports detects missing fonts. If an object uses a font which is not installed, then an error message will be displayed.

Image

- New feature: Added support for rotation.

Image

User Interface

Post by Pablo »

User Interface

- New feature: Added 'Office 2016 - Black' color scheme.

Image

- New feature: Implemented Office 2016-like Ribbon commands search ("Tell Me"). When the user types a part of command text in the box, a list of matching commands is displayed on the Main Panel.

Image

Image

- New feature: All built-in dialogs now use the selected color scheme (like in MS Office apps). A new option has been added to enable/disable this functionality: Tools->Options->User Interface->Enable skinned dialogs.

Image

- New feature: Added 'Reset settings' to Options. This will restore the default settings.

Image

- New feature: Added 'Display all objects in Links->Bookmark' option. When this option is enabled then the Bookmark dropdown menu in Links will display all objects (instead of just bookmarks and layers). This basically makes it possible to turn any object into a bookmark!

Image

Image

- New feature: Added 'Easy Mode'. This option may be useful for new users who are overwhelmed by all the advanced features of WWB. When this option is enabled then advanced features (like events, animations, CMS, login tools) will be hidden in the toolbox, ribbon and properties. Easy Mode can easily be toggled to make the options available again.

Image

- New feature: Added a 'Help' button to most property windows to open context sensitive help.
For example, if you click the Help button in the Events window then it will directly display the ‘Events’ section in the help.

Image

- New feature: Added 'Include partially selected objects in lasso selection' to Guide settings. This option specifies whether partially selected objects will be included in lasso (net) selection. If this option is disabled, then the entire object needs to be inside the lasso to be selected.

Image
