What's New in Version 3.1

The latest Markin version, adds several new features to previous versions:

The Markin installer now includes an option to install the program with a French, Spanish, German or Danish interface. For more information, click the flags below.

You can now use keyboard shortcuts to add annotations, as well as by clicking with a mouse.

A new output format has been added, with support for Netscape 6+, Internet Explorer 6+, Mozilla, and other current browsers. It combines the appearance of the RTF output with the functionality of the interactive HTML output.

The page allows colour and monochrome printable versions to be generated, obviating the need to use the RTF output, and also allows the student to generate a complete annotation key.

Font and paragraph styles are now carried over from the source text into the RTF and HTML output.

URL linking (using the existing Useful Links feature) can now be used inside annotations.

Most windows and dialog boxes are now resizable, and remember their size between sessions.

A new preference setting allows preferences to be stored either in the registry (as before, the default), or in a configuration file in the user's Application Data folder. This may help solve some network deployment problems which users experienced with earlier versions.

In Send Marked Work By Email, the latest marked work was at the end of the list, so you had to scroll to find it. It is now at the beginning -- they are listed in reverse order. Also, when sending marked work by email, there is a Delete button to remove addressees from the list. You could delete them with the Delete key before, but many users did not realize this.

There is now an option in the Preferences to output RTF in monochrome instead of colour.

Text output now uses square brackets instead of angle brackets, to avoid problems in HTML environments.
