Generating PDF bookmarks automatically

In the previous version, we implemented the feature of generating one or more PDF files from a Markdown folder. We knew for big PDF files, outlines and bookmarks are essential for easy-to-navigate.

Therefore, last week, we spent lots of time on this feature, and now it’s available in this version. That is, PDF outlines (or bookmarks) will be generated automatically based on the headings of your documents.

The only thing you need to do is arrange your headings in Markdown files properly.

Global & page-specific content templates

In this version, we can set a global content template as the default page layout for all documents.

Additionally, we can assign a specific page template to a particular document. It will be useful for a documentation site. For example, we can set a three-column layout as the global content template and set a one-column layout for pages like “privacy”, “terms of use” page etc.

Showing line numbers

We added a new option to the Preferences dialogue, to switch line numbers displayed in the text editor. Also, the number of lines is displayed at the bottom bar.

Copying version info

We added a Copy version information button to the About Document Node dialogue so that when users want to report issues, they can copy the app version and relevant system information directly.
