I completed my dissertation in Mellel, and it worked without any major problems. My dissertation was in English (with some quotations in Spanish) and just used Times 12 throughout. That is, I can't attest for Mellel's opentype and multilanguage functionality, which is one of the major sales point. B...

While Bookends or other solutions would allow Raymond to define custom bibliographic types, I think he wants primary sources to be treated differently from standard bibliographic sources (beyond formatting). Unfortunately the answer is no. There's only one bibliography section, and you can only have...

How to reset formatting of autotitles
I don't know what I did, but some of my autotitles acquired a different formatting. It seems that this happened after I merged fragments from several documents into my whole manuscript file. The result is that autotitles of the same level have different character styles/variations. I was wondering i...

I wholeheartedly agree that the GUI, particularly the toolbar and status bar, is due a major revamp. However, I don't agree with the specifics of your proposal. I instead would like to propose: 1) Cocoa toolbar (i.e. fully customizable and controllable through the top-right window control). 2) I lik...

Make Outline panel a Navigation panel?
One possible solution to the issue of representing citations and navigating through them is to convert the outline panel into a sort of Navigation Panel. It could be toggled between different navigation forms: 1) outline, 2) quick search à-la-Preview, 3) citations along the lines indicated in these ...

I agree with your proposals. The way I thought about having access to footnotes is generalizing the approach to edit autotitles: select and enter. The same can be applied to editing tables. In fact the use of tab in tables to move from one cell to another can be also applied to move between footnote...

I don't need wrap around text, never have, probably never will. But for me, citation can't be improved too much. I agree with this, absolutely. In my area (history, US academia), text formatting and image and table positioning are practically irrelevant in journal and manuscript submissions. And so...

In-line editing, that'd be my vote if it were an option. And what about making the autotitle behave like email addresses in Mail.app? You hover on it, the title transform into the blue rounded thing with the little right arrow on the right. If you press the arrow you can choose to edit the autotitle...
