Now that the complete manual is available as PDF, a glance through
its TOC make for interesting reading.
'LinkBack', which has been mentioned for some time as being
available, appears to something worth a follow-up. It is compared to
Publish and Subscribe, of blessed memory, but is more powerful.
It requires the user to have the linked application as this is where
the work is done. Examples of such applications include OmniGraffle
[charts, etc.], OmniOutliner [obvious], Keynote[via a plugin], Stone
Create and iMaginator [don't know].
Since OmniOutliner is a much more extensive outliner than we would
want out Nisus persons to spend time on, the ability to integrate it
and NWE is worth consideration by us.
There are some hidden delights in NWE 2.5. My iBook is not fast, but
when going from, say page 3 to page 20 by clicking in the vertical
scroll bar, a progress bar at bottom left of the page appears and
vanishes. v 2.5 is very fast.

What I appreciate very much, and would like to say explicitly in
honour
of the Nisus team, that's the aesthetic and creative element in their
product. I think the product is a good job and matches the philosophy
very well. So once more, in other words: you can't urge artists by
insisting on time limits. Just let them recover and hope that,
after the
well deserved creative break, they will go on with their fantastic
piece
of work.
Despite starting this, I echo Gerd and others' sentiments. Although
none
of the features in 2.5 are of particular use to myself, 2.5 is much
easier to use than 2.0. The Tool drawer, which was in danger of
becoming
a hindrance, rather than a help, has been reorganised and is more
intuitive to use despite the increase in NWE's capabilities.
Since numbered list styles were mentioned as a necessary precursor
to a
TOC function, I shall keep my fingers crossed, that a TOC function,
and
possibly even an outline function may emerge reasonably soon. :-)
