OK, good to know!

Thanks, Don! Your help is invaluable!

I can confirm daiyi's comments. For those working in the field of the humanities Bookends clearly is the better option, and the developer is indeed very helpful.

When I search for "io" with the option "whole words" by pressing "next", Mellel finds only cases of "io". But as soon as I then go backwards ("previous") with the same option, it selects also words like "religious", which it clearly shouldn...

@ Ori: I realize of course that Rome was not built in one day, and that it takes a lot of time to implement in a responsable way XML, cross-referencing, indexing and all the other 'big' things. But there are other, small things which should be easy to implement, and which to many users are really im...

« […] where people are so passionate about the product but at the same time so almost vitriolic about certain aspects. ie not just, "yeh...improving such and such would be good", but downright staunch criticism » That's very, very true. But that's what happens when requests which are very ...

In my opinion we should not focus upon what is possible, but upon what is practical, upon what is usual, upon what will presumably be welcomed by present and future users of Mellel. It is not always wrong to be mainstream! Moreover, in my opinion text highlighting / text marking should remain separa...

Indeed. The font variations are not at all suited to highligting text. And I wonder why so many of us don't see this.

And I miss two zoom levels that would be convenient to anybody, no matter what kind of Mac he / she is using: "window width" and "whole page". Excellent is the implementation of the zoom feature in Papyrus, where one can choose any level one desires. And I hope that one day we'll...

Are you sure? In my case with the plug-in that was published yesterday Spotlight finds both the Mellel-documents in the old format and those in the new format.

And what is the sense of extremely low (e.g. 10%) and extremely high (1600%) zoom levels? In which circumstances could one desire to use them?

Maria: leaving the draft entirely to other applications and using Mellel only for creating the final product doesn't seem an option to me; were it only because Mellel is not at all suited for such a 'final' task (just think of the many limits footnotes and endnotes still have from a layout point of ...

Mellel is near and dear to my heart, yet I would never recommend it to anybody, except to persons with a vast experience in the world of wordprocessing, who are able to put things into perspective. One of the reasons, I think, is this whole style building inside Mellel, which is the pride and joy of...

@ dochomer: why don't you just ask them? All I know is that in the last few years I wrote in Mellel a whole series of articles, all of them with a host of diacritical signs (à, é, ï etc.) and footnotes, which I simply converted into rtf before sending them to various journals and publishers in vario...

But are you sure your publisher does not accept rtf? Many publishers nowadays do! No publisher or journal ever refused the things I wrote in Mellel and then converted into rtf.
