Line Recomposer 2.0 released
A new version of Line Recomposer, the most popular download of this website, has just been released. This is a real breakthrough for Line Recomposer users: Line Recomposer 2.0 is much more flexible and powerful and can handle Rich Text Format texts, even if they include images. New useful functions were introduced to let users process e-books and other texts as quickly and effectively as possible. I also wrote a one-page guide (included in the zip archive) that shows how to use the full power of the software through a real-life example.
