      • Fix bug: Whenever an ID (for a section, example, refWork, etc.) contained a non-a to z or a non-A to Z or a non-0 to 9 character, the PDF would be produced but any hyperlink to the ID would not work.
      • Fix bug: if an appendix title layout’s attribute showletter was set to ‘no’, the centering of the appendix title was not done.
    • RenderX way of producing PDF:
      • Fix bug: if a style sheet said for the contents to be on a new page, it failed to start on a new page.
