Of all the improvements in this version, the most important one in my opinion is the addition of line numbers. This is important when presenting texts. There is a sale going on for another day or two, so don’t miss it.

Literature and Latte has just released Scrivener 2.0. I am a big fan of Scrivener and think that it is one of the best writing programs for Mac around. I almost always use it for my writing, exporting a document in the final stages to Mellel for some finishing touches. If would like to know more about Scrivener, watch some of the video tutorials.

Update: See this video for a good introduction to Scrivener.

See here for details. The text is from the editio princeps (Venice, 1520-1523). They have also reformatted Jacob Neusner et al.’s English translation to better work with the original. This is great news for this snowy day. There are still a few tractates which are in the process of being added, and if you order before they are ready you’ll receive them when they become available.
