I never wrote Nisus macros before Express, but I'm finding it pretty easy. Sure, I have to learn Perl, but I'm already comfortable with sed and awk, so Perl is like throwing C and sh into the mix. Pretty easy I think.
I'm working on release 2 of Red Bird's Nisus Writer Express Macros. It'll include support for ordered lists (although you won't get a lot of customization options; you can modify the macros if you want) and some other misc macros that I've wanted. While I can't accommodate all requests, if you have any suggestions that are interesting/popular, I'd be happy to implement them.
Anyway, couple of questions.
Is it possible to generate some user interface elements from my macros? I could probably do this if I wrote them in AppleScript, but Apple continues to not understand string processing (NSScanner, *shudder*), so I'd rather stick with Perl.
Does anyone have experience working with TeX and NWE? If so, any useful scripts or macros to automate the workflow? I currently use iTeXMac, but I don't like it very much as a word processor (slow, lacks features, doesn't really help me write LaTeX anyway), although I like it for workflow (easy to compile documents and see the results in PDF within a few seconds).
