XLingPaper version 3.18.0 available for Windows, Mac, and Linux

[Andy Black]

XLingPaper version 3.18.0 (for the XMLmind XML Editor version 7.2+ or 8.2+) is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Note: for Mac users upgrading to this version from versions before 3.7.5, please see:

1. Using a new version of XeLaTeX; and
2. Some changes you may need to make in your documents.

This new version of XLingPaper has a number of improvements and bug fixes.

The main highlight is adding an ability for web page (and therefore EPUB) output to automatically wrap interlinears.

If you have not previously installed XLingPaper, you can obtain an installation program for Windows, Mac or Linux at https://software.sil.org/xlingpaper/download/.

If you have already installed XLingPaper version 2.10.0 or higher and merely want to upgrade, then you will need to download and install the XLingPaper update file. See https://software.sil.org/xlingpaper/download/config-only/. Be careful to get the installer for the version of the XMLmind XML Editor you are using (it is possible to install both, if you wish). If you have modified any of the stock publisher style sheets, please be sure to make a backup of your work before running this installer. It may overwrite your modifications.

The recent changes are:

• 3.18.0 10 November 2025
  • Add ability for web page (and therefore EPUB) output to automatically wrap interlinears.
  • Add ability to ignore dateAccessed, doi, and/or url elements when producing outputs. See section 5.3.17 on the publisher style sheet documentation.
  • Fix bug: putting keyword layout info after the abstract layout still puts the keyword info after the author.
  • For the default way of producing PDF (via XeLaTeX):
    • Fix bug: running headers where chapter/section number and title were on different pages, always showed the title with number together.
    • Add ability to force page break in a table of abbreviations.
