• Character ­ for hyphenation in HTML included
• The entities –, — and … are used for HTML.
• Setting links for the navigation through a project of HTML sites via the element <link>. The following attributes are suppoerted: contents, start, first, previous, prev, next, last and copyright
  The links for first, last and previous are only vaild for CAB (perhaps iCab). The link for copyright introduces a link to aboutudo and in this case will be built.
  CAB doesn't support the attribute target, when using the element <link>. Therfore this link-Element doesn't work so properly if frames are used.
• If frames are built for HTML output, there will be built a area with a table of contents too. Therefor browser, which doesn't knows frames, can read the content.

Rich Text Format (RTF)

• Paragraph checks for orphans and widows are used now.
