What's New in Plone 2.0 - continued.

Search word highlighting

When you search for a word, it is highlighted in the page when you visit it

When using the search engine, Plone now highlights the search terms in the content you are viewing. This makes it easy to locate the section you are looking for.

Increased use of Descriptions as tool tips

Most content now displays its description when you hover over it with the pointer

Resulting from the increased focus on accessibility, most listings and portlets now display the description of the items listed as a tool tip / title attribute.

Link indicators

Links have indicators depending on type

Links now indicate whether they are external links, secure links, mail links, FTP links or VoIP links.

RSS support for any search

Any search result can be syndicated

Any search done in Plone can now be syndicated as an RSS feed.

New default listing

The new default listing style has several new features, like showing dates for events

The new default listing that appears on folders without manually created views has several new features, like showing dates for events, and being more readable and easy to navigate.

Live style sheet/font size-switching

Font size can be adjusted without reloading the page

Font size can now be switched on-the-fly, without reloading the page. This switcher also supports entire style sheets, so you can have several active CSS definitions loaded, for example a high-contrast version for the visually impaired.

Ordering support for objects

All content now have ordering capabilities

Both the navigation tree and the content pages now support ordering, and you can arrange elements in the optimal configuration from within the editing interface.
