Bug Fix

Acrolinx Wouldn't Load

After you updated to FrameMaker 16.0.2, you'd see an error message instead of our beautiful Sidebar when you tried to start Acrolinx. We took care of this. With Acrolinx for FrameMaker 1.4.1, you can check again as usual.

Summary

We’re excited to announce a new version of our Acrolinx for FrameMaker integration. In this release, you'll see improvements to extraction and how Acrolinx parses your documents. We've also fixed a handful of bugs.

  • FrameMaker 2017, FrameMaker 2019, FrameMaker 2020

Improvements

Improved Extraction

We now extract character formats in unstructured FrameMaker documents by adding additional information to the XML attribute for the charactertag. Once you configure this tag on the Acrolinx Platform, you can use it to create context-specific guidelines. This will let you extend more rule applications, which will improve your Acrolinx check results.

Improved Parsing of Structured FrameMaker Documents

We've included more XML tags in our checks and provided a simple fallback approach in case Acrolinx doesn't identify a FrameMaker XML tag name. In other words: This release lets you check more of your content in FrameMaker.

Bug Fixes

User Interface Language Would Change in FrameMaker Menus

You might've noticed that the GUI language for some FrameMaker menus changed after you installed the Acrolinx for FrameMaker integration into FrameMaker 2019. We've fixed this issue so your set language gets displayed.

Sidebar to Scorecard Inconsistency

In some cases, issues that you saw in the Sidebar didn't show up in the Scorecard. We've fixed this inconsistency. The Scorecard and Sidebar now display the same issues.

Check Selection Didn't Work Properly

Sometimes you'd check a selection of text that included both text from a table and text above or below it. When you did this, the Check Selection feature acted funny. We've fixed this. Now, the structure around your selection won't change the check result.

Upgrade Information

New FrameMaker Content Profile

To make use of new attributes and elements in context rules, update your Content Profile. Your current Content Profiles are still good because these aren't breaking changes.
