Using article.xslt

Scrivener Markdown & LaTeX
1

Hi Folks,
I’m pretty excited about the potential for using Scrivener and MMD to produce LaTex docs, and hope to be able to use it for my thesis. Unfortunately, right now, I don’t think I can get anything anything but the default document type to work.
I’ve added a key in the Multimarkdown Settings XSLT file, and article.xslt, as suggested in a previous post. When I compile using MMD to LaTex, I get a file that looks like the memoir class. When I compile using export to MMD, the headers look like this:

Title: Freshwater Wetlands Field Trip Report
Author: Michael Hannam
Base Header Level: 1
XSLT File: article.xslt
XHTML Header:
body {font-family: Courier; font-size: 9pt; line-height: 2.000000em; }
h1 { font-size: 1.5em; text-align: center; }
h2 { font-size: 1.1em; text-align: center; }
h3 { font-size: 1.1em; }
pre { margin-left: 5em;}
span.annotation { text-decoration: underline; }

Format: complete

But when I use Fletcher’s drag and drop MMD to LaTex, I still end up with the Memoir document class, and a pdf, that looks like a memoir.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
Mike

Thought I’d share the answer that James Howison gave me over at the MMD google group (thanks James).
The MMD setting should be:

LaTex XSLT : article.xslt

I changed it and it works like a charm :smiley:

Glad you got it sorted mikeh, and thanks for sharing the answer. Sorry I didn’t answer - I’m no expert on MMD, so I defer to MMD/Scrivener users when it comes to questions such as this one.
All the best,
Keith
