The new version of Mac OS software for novelists and screenwriters Storyist 4.2.6 has been released, featuring several improvements. One of the updates is the inclusion of a Writing Direction menu item in the Format > Text menu, which enables users to set the direction for a paragraph for right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew. Additionally, users can now apply strikethrough to selected text by going to Format - Font - Show Fonts, clicking the Strikethrough button and selecting the desired appearance. Lastly, the compatibility of the software with Apple Books has been enhanced, allowing for ePub exports that contain restricted HTML characters in the title or author metadata fields to no longer trigger warnings when read in the Apple Books app.
