What's new in VoodooPad 2.1?

Category / Tag support

(Not available in VoodooPad Lite)

You can now assign a category (or tag as it is sometimes called) to a page in your document. A page can also belong to multiple categories.

To play with the categories choose "Show Categories" from the Page menu, and a drawer will pop open on the left side of your window. Create a new category by pressing the "+" button, delete an entry (or association to a page) by pressing the "-" button. The little green arrow will add the current page to the selected category, or you can hold down the option key when pressing the toolbar button to add the current page to the selected category.

Spotlight support

VoodooPad comes with a plugin for 10.4 Tiger's Spotlight. Now you can search the contents of your VoodooPad documents (which can also be disabled in the document properties window).

HTML export improvements

When exporting a page as HTML (not available in VoodooPad Lite) VoodooPad will now create CSS styles to reference for the markup of the page. Strikeouts in your text are now marked up for export as well.

Inter-document links

You can now link to a specific page in another VoodooPad document. (Not available in VoodooPad Lite). Just drag and drop the document you want to link to onto your current VoodooPad page, and VoodooPad will give you the option to link to that document or to a specific page inside that document.

Remote wiki editing removed

But it's not a bad thing!

The remote editing functionality now lives on in a separate application known as Boomerang, where it is enjoying life and happily connecting and synchronizing with its partner in crime, FlyStash (the cgi script formerly known as VPStash). It's free for VoodooPad 2.0 owners, and you can find out all about it at http://flyingmeat.com/flystash/.

A new look for the Preferences

The preferences window has been updated, and it no longer looks like it was made by a drunk Microsoft Windows programmer. Now it looks more like a drunk Macintosh programmer designed it.

Unlinking

Choose "Unlink" from the Edit menu while on a VoodooPad link, and the link will be gone.

New AppleScript commands

New AppleScript command "current selection" for use on windows, and a new command to export a single page as HTML, RTFD, or plain text.
