Feature Requests
[B]Custom defined variables[/B]
The ability to create and use custom defined variables. If you had a pallet which allowed you to define <%myVar%> you could then insert this variable anywhere in your documentation and it’s value would be automatically updated. It would be great if these variables could be the output of a script attached to a field too (see below). [B]Field handlers[/B] Currently you can run a script if a element is clicked on. I'd like to be able to run a script (Applescript, JavaScript whatever) 'on load' or 'on modify' of a text field. That way you could link your documents to a database and separate content from presentation. So when the page/canvas/element loads any field that has a ‘on load’ handler could call a SQL statement and fills itself with the result. Conversely if you edit a field, the ‘on modify’ handler could run a script and insert the text back into the database. Perfect for creating multilingual documentation, or when you have to update a navigational item on 50 wire-frames. Or when you have multiple people working on set of documents and want to have a single store for content. [B]Search and Replace across multiple documents[/B] Boy that would save me some time too. cheers darrell |
Seconding the custom variable feature request
I create documents where I typically define a document number like: companyname.topic.tn.21 and also a revision number such as Version 0.2 and so forth. Then I would like to have these appear on each page footer or header.
As it is I have to just type them in directly and since the format on the title page is different from the other pages, it's a pain to ensure that the numbers match up. Adding two or three custom variables would be nice. Offering any number of custom variables would be the ideal solution. Thanks. |
