With Nisus 2.11 I'm using the Cross-Reference facility to do my citation management, and though I've just started with Nisus, I think it'll work pretty well. Since Nisus has a nice built-in macro facility, I'm anticipating that I'll be able to fix things up if they don't work as I want them to... >> Can figures, headings, equations, etc. be automatically renumbered? >I'm not sure the person undertood what I was talking about with this but >my impression was that it is not supported. Nisus 2.11 came with an "Update Figures" macro which I haven't tried yet. Here's part of the description: "This macro will renumber the figures in your document. The figure captions must match the following format [stuff deleted...] Because the desk accessory Calculator is used to simulate a sequence variable that starts at 1 and counts upward, this macro will not work under multifinder." Now it seems kind of funky to me that they're using the Calculator DA in the macro, and the resulting interaction with multifinder is kind of strange. However, if I'm reading the manual correctly (p.256) then you CAN make it work under multifinder by pressing Option at the proper time... Anyway, I guess the bottom line is that you CAN do alot of stuff with Nisus by extending it with macros. Perhaps these extensions won't always be particularly elegant... I'm not sure though. Again, I've only had Nisus for about a week, and overall I'm quite impressed. -Lee (spector@cs.umd.edu)
