This release supports JetBrains IDEs up to version 2026.2.

llms.txt improvements

Our previous implementation produced either one llms.txt file with all content of the help instance or separate TXT files per topic under the /_llms directory.

To align the implementation with https://llmstxt.org/, this is the new behavior when the feature is enabled:

The llms.txt file lists every topic in the help instance and links to the corresponding .html.md files.
The .html.md versions of topic files are located next to the corresponding .html files.
A <url> entry for /llms.txt is added to sitemap.xml.
The following is added to the <head> of every HTML page:
- <link rel="llms.txt" href="/llms.txt">
- <link rel="alternate" type="text/markdown" href="foo.html.md">.

To enable llms.txt, add the following to buildprofiles.xml:

<llms-txt>true</llms-txt>

For a description of the previous implementation, see 2025.03.8312.

Find usages

Find Usages now correctly shows references that are filtered for instances other than the currently selected one. Previously, this was not reliable, because Find Usages could show less references (even no references) if some of them were in elements that were not in the current instance. This meant that when removing or changing some content, the auther might not have been aware that the changes affect other places.

The overall performance should also increase after re-working how reference search is implemented.

Fold shortcuts in the editor

Shortcut elements now fold in the editor. For example, <shortcut>Ctrl + C</shortcut> folds to [Ctrl + C]. For action-key shortcuts such as <shortcut key="copy"/>, the folding region shows the first assigned shortcut for the current keymap. Hover over the folding region to see shortcuts for all configured keymaps.

For more information, see Shortcuts.

Sortable tables

Add sortable="true" to a <table> element to let readers sort rows by clicking a column header. Clicking a header once sorts ascending; clicking again sorts descending. To exclude a specific column from sorting, add sortable="false" to its header-row cell.

<table sortable="true">
    <tr>
        <td>Beach</td>
        <td>Driving Time</td>
        <td sortable="false">Notes</td>
    </tr>
    ...
</table>

Keyboard accessibility

This release improves keyboard navigation for the frontend application. Readers can now more easily navigate using the Tab key.

When focused on the toggle button for collapsible elements, use Enter or Space to expand or collapse it.
When focused on a tab group, use ← and → to move between tabs, Home and End to jump to the first or last tab, and Tab to move focus into the active tab panel.
When focused on the main Table of contents use ↓ and ↑ to move between visible nodes, → to expand a section or steps into it, ← to collapse a section or steps to its parent, Home and End to jump to the first or last node of the section.

Preserve search query and results

The previous query and search results now remain in the search field during a session. For example, if the reader searched for a term, opened some topic and read the relevant information, when they invoke the search again, the previous query and the results will remain.

Other fixes and improvements

Readers can hide the in-topic table of contents using a dedicated arrow next to it.
The in-topic table of contents now contains a link to the See also section by default (if the section is present in the topic).
Fixed the missing space in list items when the numbering exceeds two digits.
Fixed the missing border for images inside admonitions.
Topic content is now displayed immediately without waiting for JavaScript to fully load. Even if JavaScript is disabled, HTML content will still be rendered.
Banner expiry dates are no longer visible in the rendered output for custom banners.
Duplicate ID detection now works correctly and faster.
Multiple other improvements to performance and memory consumption should make Writerside feel more responsive.
