I must admit that my understanding of the Mellel mentions systems is a touch fuzzy, but I think that a mention can a) only contain a copy of the text of the mentioned auto-title and b) changes its content to reflect the current auto-title of whatever section it's in. A reference, on the other hand, ...

The way I imagine the system working would require captions to stay with figures, and text wrapping (at least at the top and bottom of a figure/caption block). I guess that implies some sort of "frame" system; text would wrap around frames, and frames would enclose a figure and its caption...

What happened to the flame war which should have erupted over this suggestion? I thought at least someone else would have suggestions for improvement of figure handling in Mellel...

Pretty sure this is coming in the next version.

Instead, what about an option to add arbitrary text to the beginning and end of a section? Then, if there were also something like "break to next even page" and "break to next odd page", these things could be not only automated for each section but also inserted manually. This wo...

each time I format my thesis proof I have to correct manually some things the automatic formatting does not handle well. And these corrections are virtually useless afterwards, because at the end I will have to format and correct everything again... It seems to me that a better / more urgent sugges...

<start latex war> I don't like LaTeX. I want to be able to set up a bunch of rules on how to style a document, then just type and see my document as it follows those rules. Mellel does this admirably for text (as do some other word processors). I don't want to have to write code, then compile my doc...
