Visual Editor Link UI

A new inline UI for html links helps you see where links go and gives you a few quick ways to copy, view, and edit the url.

Figure Captions for Custom Widths fixed

The figure captions would expand to the full width of the page when you defined a custom width. Now they'll neatly fit under the image like they should. There were a number of other changes with custom Figure sizes that should make them more usable. EX: define only a width and the height will scale proportionally, keeping the correct aspect ratio.

Math Equations properly handle fractional sizes

Some of your math equations may be extraordinarily wide. If so, you may need to scale them down some so they'll better fit in the page. Sizes down to .1x and up to 20x are available now.

Complete Issues List

The list of completed pull requests can be seen on our GitHub milestone page.

  • #1193 - ✨ Adds new inline edit menu for creating links in the Visual Editor
