The Success
I first used Scrivener in Windows to write a short (40,000 words) family history book. Scrivener was brilliant
The workflow I used was:
- Write in Scrivener
- Compile to RTF
- Import to Serif PagePlus for DTP page layout
- Output from PagePlus as PDF
- Upload PDF to Lulu
This worked more smoothly than I could have hoped for
The Failure
Now I want to use Scrivener to produce a blog to book (actually Scrivener to blog and Scrivener to book) with:
- Output to Google Blogger, and
- Output to RTF to import to Pageplus for DTP as I did before, and
- Output to eBook (mobi/epub)
With all the possible combinations of copy and paste, export, and compile; and conventional formatting and MMD, I’m not sure where to start. Is there a simple way to do this from Scrivener and if so has anyone any suggestions as to what workflow to use Do I use conventional formatting or MMD
Is MMD only for HTML output and if so would I have to author each post in both formats
Ideally suggestions, as to a child, that could be followed by someone who is just a family historian and computer user, not a technical wizard
Or am I asking too much of Scrivener
Oh, and being family history, there are almost always footnotes…
Thanks in advance
