>Version 1.2
>Released August 18, 2007
>
>Fixed the default EdSharp.ini overwriting the Import and Export sections
>of the user's EdSharp.ini configuration file.  Fixed commands such as
>Quote (Control+Q) producing an error if no text was at the cursor position
>(because the document was empty or the cursor was at the end).
>
>Added support for enhanced speech messages when using the System Access
>screen reader from
>http://serotek.com
>
>Enhanced Find and Replace commands (Control+F, Control+Shift+F, and
>Control+R).  The Text you enter in Find or Replace dialogs may now include
>tokens that represent nonprinting characters.  This syntax is available
>for strings in the C programming language and its variations.  Common
>tokens are a pair of characters consisting of a backslash and letter, such
>as the following:  \r for carriage return (ASCI 13), \n for line feed
>(ASCI 10), \t for tab (ASCI 9), and \f for form feed (ASCI 12).  Such
>tokens allow you to search for text, say, at the beginning or end of a
>line (use \n for a line break in EdSharp).
>
>The trade off for this flexibility is that backslash and quote characters
>must be preceded by a backslash when intended literally (not part of a
>token), i.e., \\ for backslash and \" for quote.  Since this doubling of
>characters may be cumbersome with search terms such as a file path,
>however, EdSharp supports use of an initial @ character to indicate that
>the following characters should be interpreted literally rather than as
>possible tokens.  For example, if searching for a file in the document,
>you could enter the term
>@c:\temp\temp.txt
>rather than
>c:\\temp\\temp.txt
>If you need to search for an interpreted string that begins with the @
>character, precede it with a backslash, e.g.,
>\@\c:\\temp\\temp.txt
>
>The Open Other Format command (Control+Shift+O) now shows the command line
>attempted by a custom converter if it failed to produce text.  Added
>several converters distributed with EdSharp.  External converters are
>stored in the Convert subfolder of the EdSharp program folder, e.g., in
>(default installation)
>C:\Program Files\EdSharp\Convert
>
>Besides the pdf converter mentioned previously, the default EdSharp.ini
>configuration file (in the EdSharp program folder) now includes the
>following conversions.  GetText.exe is configured for importing from
>Windows Help (.hlp) and Microsoft Word (.doc) -- thereby eliminating the
>need to load Word for this purpose.  chm2txt imports Compiled HTML Help
>(.chm).
>
>htm2md.exe imports from HTML and variations (.htm, .html, and .xhtml) to a
>text format called Markdown -- explained at
>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown
>md2htm.exe does the reverse, exporting from Markdown to HTML.  EdSharp
>supports Markdown as an aid to developing web pages.
