- Dynamic HTML Exporter & QuickLook Preview
- A considerable number of changes have been made to the HTML/DHTML exporter. Most details are listed below.
- Color transparency now supported through the rgba CSS attribute. *Note: This is not supported by existing versions of Internet Explorer and the color will simply be ignored. For OmniOutliner Professional users, you can download a version of the DHTML exporter that doesn't use transparency for better browser compatibility. You can find it in the "OmniOutliner Exports Plugin" pack on the OmniOutliner's Extras page
- Background colors should be rendering correctly. This includes things like the note background color and gutter color.
- Non-italic characters in a row that has italics set on it will now be non-italic.
- Grid lines and notes should no longer cause columns to be misaligned.
- Row indentation will now be correctly preserved when using row labels.
- Column background color will no longer override the background color of a row level.
- Strikethrough is now supported using (text-decoration: line-through). It can not be turned off for individual characters in a row if the whole row was set to strikethrough.
- Column title style should be correctly used.
- Handle visibility should now be always correctly set.
- Superscript/subscript is now supported through (vertical-align:sub/super).
- All bold values in OmniOutliner greater than "Bold" will now appear as bold instead of regular weight.
- Gutter color is now supported.
- When using horizontal and vertical grid lines, there will now be a grid line placed at the top and far right.
- Row labeling should now use the row's style instead of just the whole document style.
- Removed cell spacing in most places to remove gaps in background colors previously seen. Now using padding or margins when needed.
- Centered text in the topic column should now be centered. *Note: text alignment that is applied at the text insertion level will not work
- Styles that inherit named styles should now correctly inherit the attributes of the named styles.
- Column title should now show on a single column document. If you want to hide the title, turn it off in OmniOutliner before exporting (View -> Show Column Titles ->Never).
- Space characters were previously ignored if they were contained in their own run in the XML. Space characters should now always be retained.
- Adjusted width and spacing in numerous places to better match what you see in OmniOutliner.
- When checkboxes or handles are completely turned off, there will no longer be placeholder space for it.
- 10.5 Specific QuickLook Support
- Long and short date formats should now be correctly interpreted by the QuickLook previews
- CMYK colors will now be approximated with an rgb value.
- System colors are recognized but not translated to an rgb value with the exception of gridColor which is the default color for the grid lines. For QuickLook previews, all system colors except gridColor will be ignored. This is not an issue when exporting with dynamic HTML because OmniOutliner stores the color value in memory as a useable value.
- Standard HTML Exporter
- All applicable changes to the dynamic HTML exporter have been applied to the simple HTML exporter (the only one available in OmniOutliner standard). Color transparency is not supported however to provide the most browser compatibility.
- Grid lines should now display around the note fields.
- Stability
- Fixed a hanger triggered by mouse events.
- Download
- Mount
- Install
- Eject
In the "Download Now" section of the sidebar on the right, click the version you want to download (OmniOutliner or OmniOutliner Pro).
Wait until the download is complete. If your web browser and system are properly configured, Disk Copy or Finder will open and mount the downloaded disk image. If this does not happen, locate in Finder the .dmg file that you downloaded and double-click it to open the file. (Double-check to be sure that you've quit all running copies of OmniOutliner before you continue any further...)
When the disk image mounts, a new Finder window will open that contains the icon for your new OmniOutliner application. Simply drag this icon to your Applications folder (or wherever you would like to keep it) to install. This copies the application from the virtual disk image onto your hard disk so the application is there for you to use whenever you like.
Once OmniOutliner is installed you can safely 'eject' the virtual disk that it came on and also dispose of the .dmg file that you downloaded if you choose. Double-click the OmniOutliner icon in the location you installed it in order to begin using the application. You may wish to drag the icon to the Dock for easy access.

We love to hear from our users about what they would like to see in OmniOutliner. Bug reports, feature requests, and creepy love letters - we like it all! Send us your feedback today!
