Chemistry Processor
Performance Improvements
The overall performance of the Chemistry processor was improved up to
20%.
Support for PDF Change Bars
It is now possible to display change bars to mark some revised elements in the
content. For example, they are useful for flagging new content in a file. For details, see
Change
Bars.
Hyphenated Words are Searchable
Hyphenated words are now searchable, and can be copied from a PDF reader and
pasted in their original form without the hyphen.
CSS Level 3 'calc()' Function Now Supported
Chemistry now supports the CSS level 3 calc() function. It
allows complex computation including arithmetic operators and percentage
values.
Type1C OTF Fonts Supported
Support was added for rendering Type1C OTF fonts in SVG.
Improved Support for CJK Languages
Fallback fonts were added for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean)
languages.
Support for the 'fill' Value for the 'width' Property
Support was added for the fill value for the
width property. It can be used to fill the entire available width in
table cells.
Support for '-oxy-first-line' Value for the 'alignment-baseline' CSS Property
Support was added for the -oxy-first-line value for the
alignment-baseline CSS property. Using this extension, you can align
the text between inline blocks using their first lines instead of the last line (which is
the default).
Add Links to the Page Margin Boxes
It is also possible to add a link inside the document header (or footer) by
using the -oxy-link property on the @page margin box
declaration. For more details, see Using the CSS -oxy-link Property.

Some text wrapping issues were fixed for inline elements inside
codeblocks.
