can be made to the documents created by XFC.

 | XMLmind XML Editor v9.3
(April 8, 2020): - Any configuration (DITA, DocBook, XHTML, etc):
the node path bar can now be configured to display the value of
any attribute you want. XHTML example:
html > body > pre#example.fancy.line-numbers > code.
Character "
# " is used to prefix the value of
attribute id . Character ". " is used to
prefix the tokens comprising the value of attribute
class .These settings are done using a dialog box
displayed when selecting the "Customize" item of the
contextual menu of the “file icon” found at the
very beginning of the node path bar. This contextual menu may also
contain a number of checkboxes letting the user quickly hide and
show the attributes declared using the "Customize" dialog
box. New add-on called "FlatLaf Look and Feel" containing a
clean, simple and elegant “Look & Feel”
for XMLmind XML Editor. This add-on, which is not installed
by default, is supported on all platforms. It is especially nice
to have on Linux where the default “cross-platform”,
Look & Feel (called "Metal") looks
rather outdated. It may also interest Windows and Mac users who
want a dark theme or simply prefer how FlatLaf looks compared to
the default, “system”,
Look & Feel. - A number of other minor yet useful enhancements.
- Updated several software components, among them XMLmind Word To XML (Import
DOCX) and XMLmind XSL-FO
Converter (Convert Document to RTF, WML, DOCX,
ODT).

table or a wide figure. - XMLmind XSL-FO Converter engine for .NET: upgraded the .NET
implementation of the Java™ runtime needed to run XMLmind
XSL-FO Converter to IKVM.NET 8.1.5717.0 (which corresponds to Java
1.8.0_45).
- Updated several software components in XMLmind XSL Utility and
XMLmind XSL Server, and most notably XMLmind Web Help Compiler. Thanks to

entry imports the HTML copied to the clipboard by word processors
or web browsers and intelligently pastes it into the XML document
being edited. - Updated many software components.

XHTML-based output formats (except
Java™ Help) has also been
“modernized”.
- Any XHTML-based output format: it's now much easier to
customize the look of the XHTML pages generated by
ditac. This is done using new XSLT
stylesheet parameter
custom-css .

the numbering of
ordered lists. Specifying inheritnum in the
outputclass attribute of an ordered list now causes the
list item numbering to inherit from outer-level ordered lists. For

nested at level 2 are labelled "1.A.", "1.B.",
"1.C.", etc. |

add-on. By reading new user guide "XMLmind XML
