My intention behind this effort was to simplify compiling from Scrivener using Markdown to handle heading levels on the basis of binder hierarchy, rather than having to create a whole hierarchy of section types with corresponding section layouts. Thanks to a lot of help from Martin at Nisus, by concatenating a number of shorter macros, I now have a macro MMD-RTF.nwm, which takes a .MD file opened in NWP and opens an R…
