In present day English, it is used to draw the attention of the reader to a certain (side) aspect or detail of the subject on hand, translating it as "pay attention" or "take notice".
It is often written in the acronymous form: N.B.
'Nota Bene' is also the name of a suite of word-processing and related software, derived from XyWrite. It is marketed especially for scholarly (e.g. multilingual) purposes.
