XLingPaper version 3.19.0 (for the XMLmind XML Editor version 7.2+ or 8.2+) is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Note: for Mac users upgrading to this version from versions before 3.7.5, please see:

  • Using a new version of XeLaTeX; and
  • Some changes you may need to make in your documents.

This new version of XLingPaper has a number of improvements and bug fixes.

The main highlight is adding an ability to control how a langData element is formatted in a word or listWord element via the langDataInListWordLayout element in a publisher style sheet.

If you have not previously installed XLingPaper, you can obtain an installation program for Windows, Mac or Linux at https://software.sil.org/xlingpaper/download/.

If you have already installed XLingPaper version 2.10.0 or higher and merely want to upgrade, then you will need to download and install the XLingPaper update file. See https://software.sil.org/xlingpaper/download/config-only/. Be careful to get the installer for the version of the XMLmind XML Editor you are using (it is possible to install both, if you wish). If you have modified any of the stock publisher style sheets, please be sure to make a backup of your work before running this installer. It may overwrite your modifications.

The recent changes are:

  • 3.19.0 19 May 20 2026
    • Add ability to control how a langData element is formatted in a word or listWord element via the langDataInListWordLayout element in a publisher style sheet.
    • Update ORCID URL.
    • Add SetXmlToClipboard command
    • Fix bug: example word/listWord do not correctly show langData text before/after in XXE.
    • For the default way of producing PDF (via XeLaTeX):
      • Add two new XeLaTeXSpecial attributes: subscriptany and superscriptany. These are for cases where a font (like Charis 7.000) has font features for certain subscript and/or
        superscript character; as a result, only these characters come out in subscript or superscript. Use these new attributes to get any characters to come out properly.
      • Fix bug: line numbering was incorrect for contents and listInterlinears.
