Other fixes and improvements

• TextExpander is now an application. It will prompt you to remove the TextExpander system preferences pane. You may also choose Remove Older TextExpander from the TextExpander menu.
• Access preferences using the Preferences… item of the TextExpander menu.
• Disabling expansion does not cause the TextExpander icon to disappear from the menu bar. You can choose whether or not TextExpander appears in the menu bar in the Appearance preferences.
• If you use MobileMe or Dropbox for synchronization, please visit the Sync preferences and choose the matching option. We removed the per-group MobileMe setting.
• In many cases, TextExpander can avoid using the clipboard entirely when expanding your snippet. If you'd prefer TextExpander always use the clipboard, check Always use clipboard to insert snippet in the Expansion preferences.
• TextExpander 2.8 started including HTML as a data type when expanding snippets. This allows you to include images in a Gmail signature. Some applications, notably Mail, do not always respect font size settings for HTML data. You can now turn this behavior off by unchecking Include HTML data

N/A

TextExpander 2.8 is now available. We've added support for rich text and image expansion in web-based tools such as Gmail.

We've also made it possible to make selections using \ in a snippet in conjunction with | cursor positioning. If you create a snippet like this one:

You will receive your |(quantity)\ widgets next week.

...when you expand it, (quantity) will be selected. All you have to do is type a number to insert the quantity you want.
