Compile Novel (with Parts) For Wattpad

I would like to post my 75K+ NaNoWriMo 2018 Novel on Wattpad and I am running into an issue on the best way to compile the novel using Scrivener 3 .1.1 (9852) for Mac OS X using the Novel (with Parts) project template.

Specifically, it is an eight-part novel with 139 chapters with the below hierarchy where all folders (Part, Chapter, Scene names) are added within the “Title” section of the document so they can be moved around easily along with autogeneration of part, chapter, scene, etc numbers, and so on.

–Part
—Chapter
----Scene
----Scene

—Chapter
----Scene

So I went to “File > Compile > Modern -> Duplicate & Edit Format…” and tried a lot of changes to no avail on my custom Modern Project Format which would given me an easy format so that I can more easily manually copy-and-paste my novel (chapter name and then chapter text) for each part and chapter and scene into Wattpad.

Each of the chapters is named like this “Part 1: Name of Part, Chapter 1: Name of Chapter” and each scene should be separated by maybe *** or ### since the default diamond separator cannot be easily used in Wattpad to keep everything in order for the reader.

Further, I want to remove the page numbers which I think I figured out, but also remove what appear to be random paragraph breaks leaving a single word to several sentences shifted down sometimes by several lines or more down from their paragraph when I try and copy-and-paste the text into Wattpad and even Google Docs, etc which then have to be manually removed.

I don’t know much of anything about Wattpad, I thought it was a collaborative website for readers and writers, but it sounds like you are looking to get some material imported into it. Surely they have some support for a standard file format though, so you don’t have to resort to copy and paste? Well if not, you’ll often have more luck copying and pasting out of Word into websites. They tend to not spend much time supporting other rich text formats or software, and so you’ll get the best results using what they expect people to be using.

How do you have page numbers in your content though? Are you using PDF to copy and paste? Definitely wouldn’t recommend that—PDF is better for archival and printing, than as a transport medium.
