Custom "Last modified" date

Use the last-modified attribute on a <topic> element to specify the last modified date of this topic in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD.

By default, if you do not provide an explicit date for a topic file, Writerside will look for a date in the timestamps file. If there is no date in the timestamps file, it will then try to get the last modification date based on the Git history. If this is not a Git repository, then Writerside will fall back to the last modification date from the file system.

You can also force the described behavior by specifying last-modified="git" or last-modified="file" instead of a specific date.

Soft wraps for code blocks

Use the <code-soft-wrap> element in buildprofiles.xml to enable soft wraps in code block. By default, Writerside renders a scroll bar in a code block if there is a long line.

See also block improvements

You can now set a custom title for the See also block using the title attribute of the <seealso> element.

Starting page improvements

The <web-summary> element is now allowed in starting pages.

Fixed issue with custom icons sometimes not being rendered in cards.
