What’s New
Automatic scene numbering. Under the Format menu you’ll now find Add Scene Numbers and Remove Scene Numbers. Scenes are numbered sequentially. You can re-run this command to update the numbering after you insert or remove any scenes.
Styles wrap around paragraphs. If you select multiple paragraphs and apply a style (bold, italic, etc.) Highland will now wrap each paragraph separately.
New Control in Preview. A lot of people have asked for a button to save PDFs, so we’ve added that to Preview, along with an option to include your synopses in your PDFs.
Themes. The theme popover now organizes themes in Light and Dark categories. We think this looks nice and makes it easier to find what you’re looking for.
Improved Lists. We love making lists. To-do lists, grocery lists, lists of cool looking dogs, etc. We’ve improved how Highland handles multi-level (indented) lists in Markdown.
Assemble!. A while back we added the ability to “fold in” documents using {{INCLUDE}}
. Whenever you print or preview, these external documents are included inline.
But sometimes, you want to combine all those external pieces into one big editable file. To make this process easier, we’ve added an Assemble menu command (under the File menu). It creates a new document with all the included files.
In addition, we’ve cleaned up some encoding, so files you {{INCLUDE}}
with spaces in the title no longer need ‘%20’ like web URLs do. (But ‘%20’ still works.)
