MarkupTable 1.8.0 released
MarkupTable 1.8.0 is now available on the Mac App Store.
This update for MarkupTable contains various new features, improvements and changes.
The most important change concerns Markdown. The languages previously separated into Markdown, MultiMarkdown and MarkdownExtra have been merged into Markdown with this version. This was due to confusion among some users, which is partly due to the inconsistent handling of Markdown in other applications and its alternative implementations. If you want to create a pure HTML table, you should choose HTML or the new HTML+MD export format. In addition to the HTML table, HTML+MD also generates a Markdown table (with pipes |) as a comment, which is quite attractive when viewing the HTML code.
A new section has been added to the settings to define the file extensions for the export, so that the desired file extension is preset when exporting.
In addition, various improvements have been made when importing tables from different sources, which further simplify work with other applications and require less post-editing.
The exact details of the individual improvements can be found in the release notes for this update.
The MarkupTable 1.8.0 Release Notes
Note:
As of this version MarkupTable requires at least macOS 10.13 or newer
Change:
- with this version Markdown, MultiMarkdown, MarkdownExtra have been merged into the single option Markdown. Markdown now generates tables with the often expected delimiter | (pipes). This also applies to export and import. If you prefer traditional Markdown, you can still use the HTML markup option to create HTML-formatted tables or use the new HTML+MD option when exporting, see details in the “New” section.
New:
- export as HTML + Markdown as HTML comment
- new default setting to specify whether an empty document should be created when MarkupTable is started
- new default setting to specify the desired file extensions for the export
- copy/paste of tables from other applications extended, e.g. tables copied to the clipboard from RTF files or Numbers (menu: File | Import table from clipboard) can now be pasted
Improvements:
- improved behavior when importing CSV files with unusual line breaks
- several adjustments to the save dialog for the export
- the import selection panel now shows more clearly which types of file can be imported
- when importing tables into existing tables, the existing tables are no longer replaced, but the imported table is appended to the existing one
- Other:
- many internal changes and adjustments to improve compatibility with newer macOS versions
- help pages revised
- revised some labels in the interface
Bug fixes:
- fixes a bug that caused a table import to fail under certain circumstances
