What’s new in version 2.12.0

New:
  • TextButler System. TextButler allows you to compile your own sets of text transformations that can be applied to selected text or text pasted from the clipboard. The following actions are available:
    • Trimming spaces and custom-defined characters in a variety of ways
  • Removing empty lines
  • Replacing and removing words
  • Inserting into a template
  • Searching and replacing using regular expressions
  • Actions can also be combined in recipes and adapted for different use cases.
  • TextButler can be managed in the settings in the TextButler section
  • In the editor, TextButler can be applied using the following menu items or the corresponding keyboard shortcuts
    • Edit - Insert with TextButler
    • Edit - Apply TextButler to selection
  • Footnote tool for MultiMarkdown and MarkdownExtra. This tool helps you quickly create footnotes. It can be accessed via the menu entry Markup ➤ Footnote, the footnote button in the content editing toolbar, or by pressing F1 on the keyboard (fn + F1 if system control functions are enabled). After entering the footnote text, the original markup is automatically inserted at the current cursor position, and the footnote text is added to the end of the document.
Improvements:
  • Improved detection and handling of files in shared Quicksave folders regarding the display of images in the preview.
Bug Fixes:
  • Fixed an issue with syntax highlighting and Illusion format for Markdown, MarkdownExtra, and MultiMarkdown for bold and italic elements, which could under certain circumstances lead to incorrect rendering.
  • Added missing detection of image markup in Markdown, MarkdownExtra, MultiMarkdown, and Smark for syntax highlighting.
Internal Markup Parser
MultiMarkdown:
  • Support for metadata syntax
  • Metadata area is now recognized and no longer appears in the preview
  • Metadata is integrated into the HTML header
  • Support for the special attributes Title, Language, CSS, HTML Header, HTML Footer, MMD Header, and MMD Footer
    • Support for metadata variables ([%meta_tag_name])
MultiMarkdown & MarkdownExtra:
  • Parser for definition lists completely rewritten to fix some bugs and issues in the previous implementation
  • Fixes a bug with footnotes: when multiple source references pointed to the same footnote, assignment errors occurred

This is designed for web authoring but I use a lot for rough drafts of structured text which I can do really quickly with Markdown. Better than some other similar apps because you can see what happening to the structure almost in real time. You can use Textile if you prefer. It all just works. I think it will be great for blogging, I just haven't got around to that using MMW yet.
