Changed dot handling in filenames

A dot, or period, in a Note File Name (other than the separator before the file extension) can cause much confusion, so Notenik will scrub these from the filenames used when creating new notes. In some cases Notenik will simply drop the dot, while in other cases, the dot will be replaced with a dash. Which action is taken depends on the characters surrounding the period.

before dot	after dot	dot replacement action
space	space	replace with dash
space	non-space	just drop it
non-space	space	just drop it
non-space	non-space	replace with dash

Added a new `Date Picked` field type

A new field type of Date Picked has been added.

Added a Custom URL `randompick` parm

Added a randompick parm to the Custom URL Scheme to allow a Note to be selected at random, and then to have its Date Picked value set at the same time.

Added a Custom URL Run Command

Added a Notenik URL Run Command to run a Script File.

Added Useful Notenik Custom URLs for Project Folders

When viewing a project folder, users may now use the contextual menu item of Copy Notenik URL from the List tab, and get back workable URLs that can be used to run a script file, or to open a collection.

Skipping Links for non-HTML author-work-slug

The Author Work Slug Derived Variable will now omit any links if the merge template’s file extension is neither htm nor html; this can be useful when formatting an RSS feed, for example.

Sorting Launch at Startup Notes

When using Launch at Startup Tags, the tagged notes are now sorted (using the collection’s current sort sequence) before their links are launched.

Fixed Some Markdown Parsing Errors

Improved handling of ampersands, and distinguishing intended ampersands vs. HTML character entity references.

Added Variable Modifier for Alternate Numbering

Added a new Variable Modifier for Alternate Numbering - At Sign, to convert an integer into a roman numeral or a letter, when displaying within a Merge Template.

Improved the EPUB Export

When choosing to Export as Web Book, and when selecting an EPUB output format, some of the corrections noted above will allow a valid EPUB to be generated. In addition, when you Export Your Notes, you will see a new option to set the Table of Contents (aka ToC) depth. The ToC depth setting will only affect the export output when an EPUB format is selected.

Modifed the Outline Tab

The Outline Tab now has the option of showing note titles only, without the appearance of any Seq fields. In order to provide this option, the Show/Hide Outline Tab menu item has been replaced with an Outline Tab submenu that allows selection of either of the two presentation styles.
