Manoscritto per word processor esterno

Export an ODT document that can be imported again after editing

With Esporta > Manoscritto per word processor esterno, you can create a text document with visible section markers. File name suffix is _proof_tmp.

Note

This document retains its section information even if it is converted to other formats and back again. This may work with popular commercial word processors and even with web-based word processors such as Google Docs.

Only “Normale” chapters and sections are exported. Chapters and sections marked “Non utilizzato” are not exported.
The document contains chapter and section headings. However, changes will not be reimported.
The document contains section [scx] markers. Do not touch lines containing the markers if you want to be able to write the document back to novelibre format.
Chapters and sections can neither be rearranged nor deleted.
When editing the document, you can split sections by inserting headings or a section divider:
- Heading 1 → New part title. Optionally, you can add a description, separated by |.
- Heading 2 → New chapter title. Optionally, you can add a description, separated by |.
- Heading 3 → New section title. Optionally, you can add a description, separated by |.
- Heading 4 → New appended section title. Optionally, you can add a description, separated by |.
Tip

If you use a word processor whose heading styles cannot be properly converted back to .ODT format for reimport, use Markdown heading markers instead:
- # begins a first-level heading.
- ## begins a second-level heading.
- ### begins a third-level heading.
- #### begins a fourth-level heading.
However, don’t combine such markup with heading styles. Put a space between the marker and the title. Additional blank lines are not necessary.

The document is placed in the same folder as the project.
Document’s filename: <project name>.odt.
Only “Normale” chapters and sections are exported. Chapters and sections marked “Non utilizzato” are not exported.
Part titles appear as first level heading.
Chapter titles appear as second level heading.
Sections are separated by * * *. The first line is not indented.
Starting from the second paragraph, paragraphs begin with indentation of the first line.
Sections marked “attach to previous section” appear like continuous paragraphs.
Text markup: Bold and italics are supported. Other highlighting such as underline and strikethrough are lost.
The first paragraph of each chapter is assigned the paragraph style Chapter beginning which is by default like the body text without indentiation. By modifying this paragraph style you can give a special look to the beginnings ot the chapters, e.g. with initials.
