Improvements and bug fixes in Help & Manual 5.3.2
Spelling check: new Czech dictionaries are included. Furthermore, the path for the default user dictionary has been changed from "%Userdocs%" to "%UserDocs\My HelpAndManual Projects".
Webhelp: image files names with German umlauts were not encoded properly, links from secondary windows back to the main window attempted to open a new window.
Webhelp and HTML Help: export order of picture hotspots has been changed to better support overlapping hotspots.
Webhelp: in right-to-left projects, the indentation of the TOC icons was incorrect.
Import: when importing CHM files, Help & Manual automatically uppercased the first character of every HTML file.
Image Hotspot Editor: a bug in the German translation caused English strings to be written to data
PDF Export: optional no keyword sections implemented. If the keyword section list is an empty string, Help & Manual will print the keywords in alphabetical order without keyword sections headings.
Open Picture dialog box: optical glitch in Windows 7 fixed.
Topic Editor: when editing a table, the table ID and table style are displayed in the status bar.
Topic Editor: reading topics with special bullets was broken - the bullet symbol was incorrect
XML format: some XML files happened to miss the UTF-8 byte order mark at the beginning of the file, causing problems when editing topics with a simple text editor.
Insert Image menu command: the dropdown gallery for recently used images and bookmarked pictures has been improved to open more quickly.
HTML Help Export with Toggle objects: when a dropdown toggle was expanded because of a search highlight, the corresponding icon has the wrong state.
Exporting HTML code objects to file: overwrite confirmation was missing.
Richtext Import: minor problems fixed
Command line compilation improved for quicker compilation and more stability
General: under certain circumstances, Help & Manual did not properly clean up its temporary files.
