Re: Send as PDF/Word
I find it a bit peculiar that you seem to be reviewing for Redlers my feature request, but fine. Now to send a Mellel file I have to do this: 1. File--Export as Word. 2. Switch to Mail 3. Find/Attach the .doc 4. find/delete the exported file the possibility I'm suggesting (and implemented in several...

Re: Send as PDF/Word
Certainly I have those options. But that's not what I'm requesting: I'm asking about the possibility of "sending as Xformat" similar to what LibreOffice, Nisus, and Pages offer (in slightly different implementations).

Send as PDF/Word
Mellel would be just a bit more awesome if it had the possibility to easily (without saving as) send documents as PDF/RTF/Word. This is a good feature that many word processors have. So perhaps it's hard, for some reason, to implement in Mellel. But please consider it. If anyone knows of a workaroun...

Re: The new Nisus Pro contains
We already have track changes! And I really like its implementation in Mellel, personally. I can't see what else--from my perspective (professor in the humanities) the Nisus updates have to offer me. But certainly, many people will disagree, and I'm glad for that because Nisus is great. More and mor...

Re: Feature request: (La)TeX export
I think someone made some kind of script for this long ago, no?
If not, just export to rtf, import in Open or Libre, export to LaTeX--haven't used that feature for a long time, but it used to work ok.

Re: 2.8 is great, but . . . . 2.9 wish list
I second simifilm's requests: Zotero intergration and better multilingual spellchecking would be fantastic.

Re: Mellel/Bookends integration for old-style footnotes?
These are CMS footnotes (Chicago Manual of Style--but the footnotes kind, not the author-date kind). When preparing to scan the document, simply pick that style and you should be set. As for starting in the middle with Bookends, that's trickier. How many citations are we talking about? Depending on ...

Re: Anybody any idea where we're going?
I just wanted to second the calls against paranoia and despair--there are many reasons for paranoia and despair, but Mellel's development is not one of them. As an earlier poster noted, Nisus's development is going much more slowly (and 2.6 was a pretty damn big jump!) than that of Mellel and I don'...

Re: Zotero integration
Another way to think about it: It's the same as short title in CMS notes (that is, corresponding to widely held title designation conventions) , but in this case, the title only comes in when there is more than one work by the same author.

Re: Zotero integration
@nicka: I see what you mean, but again, this was a simple, great style (for the humanities) in the olden days--the humanities used to use op cit. ibid. and so on, which are even more complicated to keep track of. @jda: the rule of thumb is that the format for the title in parenthesis corresponds pre...

Re: Zotero integration
@nicka It seems to me that the style is the opposite of baroque. It is designed--I have the sense--for an age of typewriters so the writer didn't have to make a footnote. Unfortunately, this "simplicity" seems to be complicated to automate. @DanZac I think Bruce D'arcus, the creator of Cit...

Re: Zotero integration
MLA is a simple style: Derrida says "blah blah" (56). Or: Many things have been said about blah blah (Derrida 56). This name refers to an entry in the Works Cited page: Derrida, Jacques. _Archive Fever_. Chicago: U of Chicago P, 1995. Bookends can handle this just fine: you simply cite {de...

Re: Zotero integration
Yes, I mean the latter: Zotero turns a footnote into an in-text citation. I have and did my diss with Bookends, and have tested Sente with every major update, so I know what they do-- the re-scan you mention. Not that it's a big deal, it would probably only take a few hours to cut and paste the refe...

Re: Zotero integration
To correct the leap you make: open source is probably something like a necessary condition for the futurity of data, but not sufficient. Perhaps, however, these are matters of opinion--as is the question of whether citation management is too important to be relegated to the browser and whether this ...
