iWisdom 1.40 Improves Appearance of Quotations

Seattle, WA -- April 14, 2007 -- PowerSurge Publishing has just released iWisdom version 1.40. Many of the improvements in this release help to improve the appearance of quotations. Commands have been added to add or remove enclosing quotation marks, either to a single item or to an entire list. XHTML tags can now be embedded directly into the body of a Wisdom item, giving finer control over each item's appearance. For display, iWisdom now automatically converts normal "straight" quotation marks and em dashes to their more typographically correct equivalents.

Other improvements in this release include: a Favorites menu and an Import Sources link to aid new users in jump starting their collections of quotations; a separate window showing program tips, aimed at new users; addition of Web Log and Web Page as valid Wisdom sources; and the correction of a bug that would cause the program to crash if it were removed from its normal enclosing folder.

iWisdom is a program that manages a collection of quotations or other brief insights. The program tracks a rich set of data fields concerning each bit of wisdom, including author, source, year of publication, title and category. iWisdom allows you to view wisdom in a list view (with optional sort fields), a category view, an edit view, and a display mode, which you can use to randomly display a new quotation at set intervals. iWisdom stores its data in the wisdom XML format, and can publish a wisdom collection in HTML using a series of included XSL templates and cascading style sheets. A sample of the results can be seen at www.PortableWisdom.org.

iWisdom is written in Java and is available for all major computing platforms, including Mac OS X, Windows, and virtually all versions of Unix. A fully functional version of the program can be downloaded from the PowerSurge Publishing Web site, at www.powersurgepub.com. iWisdom is freeware. See the company Web site for further information.
