Re: PDF TOC links

And it would be great if the pdf output could (optionally) include a hyperlink between each citation in the text (or in footnotes) and the relevant reference in the bibliography. Also external links: e.g. doi s that lead to the paper online.

Re: Footnotes will be the end of me

Don you are quite right to say: For changing all Roman Bold 14pt there are two ways: (1) One is to use the File menu's "Replace Styles" to change all Roman Bold 14pt text with your Heading 1 text style, or whatever, actually quite a simple thing to do. (2) The other is to use the Find/Repl...

Re: Exporting w/ endnotes intact

Both Mellel's doc export and Mellel's rtf export support both footnotes and endnotes. I think it is likely that the problems here are with Pages and TextEdit. TextEdit does not support foot- or endnotes at all, so if the OP is opening his files in TextEdit (which is the default for rtf and doc files...

Click on the picture to select it (single-click, not double-click). When it is selected it will have a thin blue border. Press backspace or delete.

Re: Mellel Contact Info

This email address has been given a few times on this forum: support@redlex.com

Edit: On second thoughts, though, perhaps it should be support@redlers.com
Perhaps try both?

Re: Comments in track changes

I think I said something along these lines to them when beta testing the version which introduced track changes, and I've certainly said it once before now on a thread on the forum that Ori or Eyal contributed to, so presumably read. I don't want to badger them.

Re: Comments in track changes

In the meantime, Mellel should pop up a warning dialogue when incoming comments are discarded. The current behaviour is dangerous and unforgivable – silent loss of data.

Re: Selecting all footnotes (a variant)

What would help massively here would be a) making the Replace Styles dialogue non-modal, or at least stopping it from obscuring the document; and b) having it so that selecting a style in the dialogue also highlighted the instances of that style on the page.

Re: 2 Separate Columns of Text

Some years ago RedleX gave some strong hints that they were planning to enhance Mellel to the point that it could be a FrameMaker replacement for some users. I wonder if they have dropped this aim. It would be a shame, because, as tungsten's post highlights, there isn't really any software for creat...

Re: restarting citation formats each chapter

What do you mean by 'full citation'? Could you give examples of how you want the full and reduced citations to look?

Re: Space between running header and text

To check: you say that this can be seen in Mellel? Can you tell us the details that trigger it? e.g. typeface, point size, line spacing. (I ask because I can't work out how to reproduce this -- note numbers show up fine in the top line of text on a page for me.) Better yet, could you upload an examp...
