However, when it comes to working from a mobile device like my iPAD and getting files transferred across to Scrivener for Windows, there’s a lot of cloud-swaps or copy/paste involved. You can check by going into Compile and the Compile for… shows several MultiMarkdown options for conversion.Īt the moment I am attempting to get as much of my writing life – projects – into (and then out of) Scrivener as possible.

In previous versions Fletcher Penney’s MultiMarkDown syntax may have had to be installed before the compile MMD options appeared, but recent versions of Scrivener for Mac and Windows have Markdown built-in. In fact, Scrivener can import and export Markdown files, meaning that if you write any text files in any of the other apps available for Markdown (particularly useful for the iPAD) you can then import these into Scrivener for further processing. And Scrivener supports MultiMarkdown use. Scrivener allows for custom organisation and can hold research and various posts in different statuses towards publication. And it certainly didn’t dawn on me that Scrivener could be a good app for organising and writing blog posts in.īut it is. It didn’t dawn on me that another large section of writers might be using it for many other writing forms.

Note: this is a long post, so only for those who like to read of other’s workflows (I did not want to split them out into even further posts on the same topic of Markdown). I can use Markdown to format my notes and texts quickly ready for publishing to my blog, through Scrivener, and even into my huge research and notes database in Evernote. Below are some workflows between my typical writing apps, using Markdown as a writing syntax.
