- Project Management: Master projects, ability to store TOC information in external files, more control over command line output and improved command line handling, just to name a few.
- Editor and Authoring: Snippets, labels with formatting and conditional text features, text variables with automated formatting, CTRL-<SPACE> quick access for inserting labels, variables and snippets and more.
- Unicode: Doc-O-Matic now works with Unicode internally and supports Unicode source and documentation files, Unicode identifiers as well as on-the-fly conversion of external HTML documentation using any installed code page. Doc-O-Matic is now independent of the current system default locale and can create output in any language without change of locale setup.
- Source Code: Added PHP support, improved syntax printing with colorized syntax highlighting and much improved multi-language output. Doc-O-Matic now comes with a new Code Translation tool that helps maintaining the syntax translation matrix.
- Tools: Doc-O-Matic now comes with tools to manage the Code Translation matrix, HxBrowse for browsing the Help 2 namespace registry and tfhxreg for registering Help 2 files, namespaces and plug-ins.
- Localization: Localizing Doc-O-Matic projects can now be handled from one central place, the localization dictionary. All strings in the project that possibly contain translatable content are run throught the dictionary upon output generation. Also, Doc-O-Matic comes with new localized button artwork for HTML and there is a new tool that helps switching the current language easily.
- UI: New UI elements like the Ribbon bar help managing the project more quickly.

Matlab and PHP
