The goal is to be closer to usual text editors, as new users are disturbed by the XML approach. The documentation is not updated yet, but to summarize these new behaviour: a) Enter deletes the selected contents and breaks the bloc at the current position b) Delete deletes the selected contents and moves the cursor after c) Backspace deletes the selected contents and moves the cursor before d) Now to can go out of a large set of inline elements by clicking the entry twice. For example you click strong, enter the strong text, then click strong to goes out. By the way, we didn't kill the old XML mode yet If you set in your thot.rc file "XML_EDIT_MODE=yes", you will work as with Amaya 9.55 > > Best regards, > Bartolomé Sintes > http://www.mclibre.org -- Irène. ----- Irène Vatton INRIA Rhône-Alpes INRIA ZIRST e-mail: Irene.Vatton@inria.fr 655 avenue de l'Europe Tel.: +33 4 76 61 53 61 Montbonnot Fax: +33 4 76 61 52 07 38334 Saint Ismier Cedex - France
