Sable Markdown Writer 0.8.0
Sable Markdown Writer 0.8.0 adds manuscript export, name highlighting, and a disk-image download.
- Export your manuscript. In a Fiction Project, press Export… on the Manuscript tab (or File → Export Manuscript…, ⇧⌘E) to turn every chapter, in the order you arranged them, into one PDF, EPUB, Word (.docx), or Markdown file. Pick which chapters to include, add a title page, and choose a Manuscript look (Courier-style, double spaced, running header, ready for editors) or a Book look (justified serif, page numbers). US Letter and A4 are supported. The PDF has a clickable chapter outline. File → Export This Document… exports just the page you have open.
- Names & places highlighting. Character, location, and world-note names take a color and a soft shimmer, a band of light drifting through the letters (strength and speed are sliders; Reduce Motion is respected). Characters are found by full name, first name, last name, file name, and aliases; locations and world notes match the whole phrase only, so "Academy" won't light up "Highlandsburg Academy". Turn characters, locations, and world notes on or off separately in Settings → Highlights, or everything at once with View → Highlight Names & Places.
- Settings, tidied. Settings is now a wider window with General, Writing, Highlights, and Review tabs.
- Export at the bottom of the writing desk, always within reach.
- New Sable logo.
- Download as a disk image. Releases now include a
.dmgthat opens with the app next to an Applications shortcut, so installing is a single drag. Automatic updates still work as before.
Community build: not notarized by Apple. On first launch, macOS may require approval in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Update downloads are verified with Sable Markdown Writer’s Sparkle signing key.
