Ulysses 40

Ulysses has updated its eponymous writing app to version 40, introducing several improvements across both macOS and iPadOS. The release brings advanced export enhancements for PDF and DOCX files, with the Ulysses Style Sheet language now supporting custom headers and footers, capitalization options for both inline text and whole paragraphs (including small caps), text alignment on baseline grid (PDF only), vertical alignment of headers and footers, and more. All current text editor plugins have been updated to support the new features (TextMate, BBEdit, Sublime Text, VS Code).

Ulysses 40 also now includes options for Whole Words and Begins With in the editor search, loads images in the editor more quickly, exports mathematical equations as native Word equations (OMML), resolves an issue with the ePub exporter when a cover image was set, and fixes alphabetical sorting of tags and categories in the WordPress publishing panel. In the iPadOS version, Ulysses reworks the main menu to mirror the full structure and functionality of the macOS main menu, enables you to activate the line marker separately, allows you to select themes from the View menu, and adds menus for paragraph- and text-markup to the editor.
