The feature they add is, as far as I can see, an index/tagging of segments where you can add story-related features for segments of your text, like characters, location, plot lines. They clearly want to expand into the creative fiction writing field. They also pride themselves of delivering a rock-solid app that will not crash when you approach your deadline or thesis delivery time.īut the reason I want to announce it here are the features that are now advertised for the newest release, Mellel 4. Given all that, it's very popular in academic circles (for historians and such). Their big feature was/is their handling of style sheets, automatic features like numbering of headlines, and its multi language support (not surprisingly, with an extremely nice support of writing direction, given that Hebrew is right-to-left – it's very simple to use different languages including ones with different writing direction within the same file and switch anywhere). It is made by an Israeli company – "mellel" is Hebrew for "text". The App Store version is more expensive and doesn't seem to have extra features) (As much as I like the Mac App Store for its security, it seems very much recommended to buy directly from Mellel.
Mellel vs davkawriter upgrade#
Cost is ~$60, ~€50 for new users, and gracious rebates for existing customers (Mellel 4 is a paid upgrade for existing users at half the price, but if you bought it within the last two years, you'll get it for free).
Mellel is a commercial Mac only WYSIWYG word processor (i.e., similar to MS Word).
