We have just released Xway b4, the latest version of our next-generation program for visual web design. You can download it from our web site: https://www.softpress.com/xway/ Xway includes a detailed reference manual, which you can access by choosing “Xway User Guide” from the Help menu. This also includes an appendix with a list of new features and cross-references to documentation in the user guide — this is a good place to start if you're upgrading from a previous beta version. If you're new to Xway, a good place to start is the introduction to the user guide, and the Xway tutorial (see below). There is also a step-by-step tutorial and two sample documents (created from the tutorial). These are available from our website: click on “Xway Resources” in the Help menu. We revised the tutorial and sample documents for b4. New features Dynamic styles (for rollover effects) Links can be applied to container boxes Links that are applied to boxes are copied/moved with their boxes You can insert a line break by typing Control-Return or by choosing Line Break from the Insert menu You can insert a non-breaking space by typing Option-Space or by choosing Non-Breaking Space from the Insert menu Subscripts and superscripts Previews are drawn for component boxes It is easier to locate missing resources Iframe boxes that contain YouTube and Vimeo videos can be adjusted to fit their content Display size can be set for markup and component boxes Keyboard shortcuts for switching between the Page view, Web view, and HTML view The Link Inspector displays a Content section for resource links The Box Inspector displays a Content section for markup files The Text menu has been replaced by a Format menu (containing the same items) The Page and Item menus have been removed, and items that were previously in the Page menu have been redistributed Pages in the Site panel default to being closed when a document is opened, except for the current page Home/End (fn← / fn→) scroll to the top/bottom of the page Xway runs natively on Intel or Apple Silicon Bug fixes and improvements, including: Fixed a problem that caused images to be missing in the Web view if a page is in a subfolder Fixed undo problems affecting markup text views Fixed a problem that caused some outputID values to be wrongly substituted in component CSS files General improvements to YouTube video previews YouTube video previews display an error message if the video cannot be embedded The toolbar appearance has been improved for Big Sur
