I'd very much like to see BibDesk/Mellel integration, but as it stands now there are big technical hurdles. BibDesk is passive, meaning you can't define styles in the way you can with Sente/Bookends. This is done with BibTeX which doesn't integrate with Mellel. It would a big addition to BibDesk to ...

Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh, but one ought never base their work on the anticipated release of something. Mellel will eventually have cross-referencing. However, no one except the Redlers know when that will be. If you are dependent on this feature to complete your work, then your work (for the m...

T FrameMaker used a completely different paradigm and approach to documents: each page was made of floating frames that could be moved and linked to one another. Mellel is a stream–based word processor that uses no frames whatsoever. While free–floating frames may be useful for some situations, I c...

Matthias, I bet the pdf was created using the standard print-to-pdf dialogue, then marked up in Acrobat pro. As far as I can tell, the only way to create bookmarks straight from a document (on a Mac) is to use an Adobe product. FrameMaker and InDesign both export document structure to PDF. As it ha...

The ability to sync different machines is one of the really nice features of Apple's .Mac service. Since I use Mellel on several machines, I'd really appreciate it if templates, styles and especially hyphenation rules would be synced automatically.

- Depending on the range a reference which is in the form of 21 f. or 21-27.

A LaTeX export module would indeed be very cool and probably not too difficult to make. I agree with Stephen Still that more markup is doable. Headings would definitely be useful. I guess it would mean that you'd have to use pre-defined styles titles (-> convert paragraph style "Header1" t...
