Miscellaneous changes, fixes, and amendments

Overlong sentences

A new tab - "Overlong Sentences" - has been added to the "Tools | Overused Words..." window of Atlantis:

Through the "Sentences of at least XX words are overlong" box you can control how long a sentence has to be to be reported as overlong.

The "Next" button searches the document text for overlong sentences in the forward direction starting at the current caret position. The "Previous" button searches in the backward direction. When found, overlong sentences get highlighted in the document window.

Save as eBook

This version of Atlantis includes a number of improvements to the Save as eBook feature:

1. Cover images for eBooks are now saved in a better way. There will be less blank space around cover images when viewed in eBook readers. For example, here is how the eBook.rtf template of Atlantis looks in Adobe Digital Editions when saved as eBook with different versions of Atlantis (click to enlarge):
   
   
    
2. Atlantis now divides the book contents into separate HTML files in a smarter way. It tries to reduce the number of HTML files within the ePub package. The book will be rendered by eBook readers with less unintended page breaks. If the source document is not very long, there will be no unintended page breaks at all.
    
3. If your source document contains footnotes or endnotes, automatic numbers within notes of the eBook will be clickable:
   
   
   
   Clicking these numbers will bring you to the corresponding note references within the main text of the eBook.
    
4. Atlantis now automatically retrieves the author's surname from the contents of the "Author" box of the "Save as eBook" window:
   
   
   
   and generates a new metadata field within the "content.opf" file:
   
   
   
   This "opf:file-as" field is used to sort books by author.

Miscellaneous changes, fixes, and amendments

• A new button - Send to Clipboard - has been added to the "Insert | Symbol..." window of Atlantis:

  
  

  
  You can use it to place any symbol or special character onto the clipboard, then paste it into any document.
   

• This version of Atlantis addresses a few issues discussed in Atlantis Word Processor Blog:
