Language Scribing Improvements
Changes throughout Scribe Tools for InDesign now enable the use of additional language codes. The update expands language scribing support to hyphenated codes and codes with capital letters. This change makes it possible to use detailed language subtags throughout the workflow.
This is especially critical to accurately scribe transliterated languages. For example, Russian text in Cyrillic can be differentiated from Russian text that has been transliterated into the Latin alphabet. The Cyrillic version can use the InDesign style lang-language-ru, while the transliterated version can use lang-language-ru-Latn. The latest Scribe Tools update will export these as <lang lang="ru"> and <lang lang="ru-Latn"> and preserve the distinction. See the Language Scribing guidelines for additional recommendations.
New Tools and Settings
- Review Frame-Spanning Words: This new typography-reviewing tool reports text frames that may end in a hyphen. It can be used to find words split across pages.
- Apply Breaking Rules: The new “Prevent breaking within CamelCase root words” setting prevents breaks in words like JavaScript, InDesign, and PowerPoint.
Bug Fixes
- Improved the default behavior of Place Images and Place Single Images when a file extension in the image folder differs from the callout.
- Fixed how Place Images rescales images to avoid resizing border rules.
- Fixed issue in Add Cover Page that caused front matter text frames in some designs from shifting left or right.
