What's new in TechWriter 2009 for Web Services?
Answer:
Support for accessing Web Services via Proxy
TechWriter now supports accessing web service definitions from behind a Proxy/Firewall LAN setup. TechWriter automatically passes your credentials to
the proxy server to allow access to the web service definitions.
Support for Line Breaks in Annotations
TechWriter 2007 recognized blank lines (double line breaks) as paragraph delimiters and ignored single line breaks.
TechWriter 2009 now recognizes and preserves single line breaks, treating them like the HTML <BR> tag.
WYSIWYG Annotation Editor
The Annotation Tab includes a WYSIWYG annotation editor for editing your web service comments. The editor supports bold and italic
font formatting, numbered and bulleted lists and hyperlinks.
XHTML and XML Comments Tagging
TechWriter 2007 supported a subset of JavaDoc tagging that could be used to tag web service comments. TechWriter 2009 not only expands
the JavaDoc support to include all of the formatting options available in the annotation editor, it also includes support for
using XHTML and XML Comments for tagging your comments.
Remarks Section
TechWriter 2009 allows you to create more detailed documentation for your web service by including support for a Remarks section that
can be embedded as part of your web service comments or annotated.
Support for Table Cell Borders in PDF an RTF/Word output formats
In TechWriter 2007, summary tables did not include borders around each cell. With TechWriter 2009 you have the option to turn these
borders on from the Output tab.
HTML (single-page) Output Type
In addition to the Web Site (multi-page) output type, TechWriter 2009 also includes the HTML output type that represents the documentation
in a single HTML page.
