Writemonkey 096 final is baked and served. New segment focus & more.
DL: http://bit.ly/2bNysm

Release notes:

- added: Segment focus feature. Ability to show only a segment of the
current text and hide the rest. Good for longer & structured texts -
Will help you to focus on the part you are working on. No long
scrolls ... You can focus on different things using different
shortcuts:

F6: Hide all focus: if nothing is selected whole text will vanish and
you will start inserting text at the caret position.

F6: Block focus: if you select a block o text and hit F6, only
selected text will stay on the screen.

CTRL+F6: Paragraph focus: Hold CTRL when hitting F6 (or selecting
"Segment focus" from menu) and the current paragraph will stay in the
focus.

SHIFT+F6: Heading section focus: Hold SHIFT and you can work on the
current heading section (#, ## / ==, -- markup)

SHIFT+CTRL+F6: Bookmark segment focus: You can work on the text
between bookmarks (@@ or user defined string)

You can exit segment focus by hitting F6 again. Existing documents
will always open with segment focus off, even when last saved focused.
There is a subtle visual reminder when segment focus is activated -
the corner marks (if visible) are presented with dotted line. Exit
segment focus and corner marks become solid again.

Alternative usage:
You can use segment focus instead of partial count - start writing
with "Hide all focus" and word count will show only current session.

If you have a large repository text and you need to reference a part
of it often, focus on that part and you can easily access it later.

If you want to spell check only part of the doc. you can do it on a
segment focus.

- added: Complete Markdown support. See: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax
The only exception is emphasis syntax (*bold*, _italic_,
__underline__).

- changed: The application is now targeted to .NET framework ver. 3.5.
The users with .NET 2.0 should upgrade to 3.5. This is due to some
development features I intend to use and are not available in 2.0. One
of the advantages is also much smaller memory usage.

- changed: New shape and new position for scroll marker. The new
position (near to the text) is optional - the old one is still the
default one (Preferences / Misc / Scrolling / Next to the text).

- added: Progress bar now supports pages. You can set your own page
count formula in Preferences / Progress / Page count. Then hit F12 and
select "pages" from "Use unit" drop down. Your live count will now
give you the estimate of pages written in 0.0 format.

- added: You can optionally show live numeric count with thousands
separator. Off by default. (Preferences / Progress / Use thousands
separator)

I could use it only for a couple writing sessions (but I've use the
beta extensively), and could appreciate your work on the new features.
Still don't liking the new margin markers, but I don't use them
anyway! :-)

Great work. WM continues to grow slowly, carefully, in the right
direction. A very reliable tool, in my experience.

Paolo
