There is so much I’ve been able to do with Scrivener, not the least of which are the Scrivener Styles that I implemented years ago (See Scrivener Styles with LaTeX wish list from Nov 2022). I use the Scrivener Styles to implement LaTeX code from within Scrivener EVERY time I write anything using Scrivener to ultimately incorporate the work into my (Lua)LaTeX project.
Mid-year last year, I experienced a health issue that altered my life, and complicated my research in so many ways. I was waylaid in ways that prevented me from my research and writing. More importantly, the issues took me away from the Scrivener Styles I had developed. This (and early Alzheimers) unexpectedly caused me to actually forget what a few of the 150+ Styles do, bizarre as this may seem. I realized that my omission to document the Styles I developed has came back to haunt me.
I have two questions:
- Would others who use Scrivener as more than just a front-end to write LaTeX code be interested in using Scrivener Styles to transparently facilitate embellishing their LaTeX code from within Scrivener?
And if so:
- Is there an appropriate place on this Scrivener website where I might upload the Scrivener ‘code’ for the Scrivener Styles I’ve developed?
If the answer to both of the above questions is affirmative, then given my time constraints, I cannot commit to what timeframe I might accomplish such a task. I can, however, offer to add such a goal to my list of ToDos going forward.
Part of my incentive here is to not only share what I have with others, but once others start to learn how to perhaps add their own Styles, they may become far more creative than I, and possibly create new and improved ways to implement the many LaTeX functions that can be made available from within Scrivener.
Also as part of my incentive, I need to re-learn (and document) what I created some years ago.
I envision this as possibly a cooperative project, as others on occasions had questioned my terminology and what LaTeX functions I included. Something that might be addressed if we were to do this collectively. In such a case, what I have to upload would only serve as a starting point in the development of an expanded (and improved) basket of Scrivener Styles.
Thanks,
Scrive
P.S. As I am dreadful at creating any user documentation, I am unable to vouch for how well I might be able to offer such for the Scrivener Styles I’ve created. Your mileage may vary …
