Esporta descrizione sezione per modifica

Export an ODT document that can be imported again after editing

With Sezione > Esporta descrizione sezione per modifica, you can create a text document with a full synopsis containing part/chapter headings and section descriptions that can be edited and reimported. File name suffix is _sections_tmp.

Tabella della sezione (solo esportazione)

Export an ODS document

With Sezione > Tabella della sezione (solo esportazione), you can create a spreadsheet with a row per section, containing the following data:

Section ID (hidden)
Section number (link to manuscript)
Title
Description
Viewpoint
Date
Time
Day
Duration
Tags
Section notes
Scene
Goal
Conflict
Outcome
Status
Words total

Note

Only “Normale” sections appear in the section table. Sections of the “Non utilizzato” type are omitted.

File name suffix is _sectionlist.

Clicking on a section number with Ctrl pressed, you can jump to the corresponding section in the manuscript. However, if you edit this spreadsheet, you cannot apply the changes with novelibre (in contrast to the plot grid). The section table is more intended for extracting the metadata of the writing project, for example, in the case of abandoning novelibre.

Mostra la tabella temporale

Show an HTML report with a time table

With Sezione > Mostra la tabella temporale, you can create a HTML file that contains a time table, and launch your system’s web browser for displaying it.

In the time table, the dated “Normale” sections are listed in chronological order. In addition to date/time and duration, the columns include the section title, description, locations and characters as well as plot lines with plot notes.

Note

The report is a temporary file, auto-deleted on program exit. If needed, you can have your web browser save or print it.
