It is assumed that very few types of text markup are needed for a fictional text:
When exporting to yw7 format, the converter replaces these formattings as follows:
"> "
.ODF documents are generally assigned a language that determines spell checking and country-specific character substitutions. In addition, Office Writer lets you assign text passages to languages other than the document language to mark foreign language usage or to suspend spell checking.
If text markups for other languages are detected during conversion to the yw7 format, they are converted and transferred to the yWriter scene.
This then looks like this, for example:
xxx xxxx [lang=en-AU]yyy yyyy yyyy[/lang=en-AU] xxx xxx
To prevent these text markups from interfering with yWriter, they are automatically set as project variables in such a way that yWriter interprets them as HTML instructions during document export.
For the example shown above, the project variable definition for the opening tag looks like this:
lang=en-AU
<HTM <SPAN LANG="en-AU"> /HTM>
The point of this is that such language assignments are preserved even after multiple conversions in both directions, so they are always effective for spell checking in the ODT document.
It is recommended not to modify such markups in yWriter to avoid unwanted nesting and broken enclosing.
A work in progress has no third level heading.
* * *
→ Scene divider (not needed for the first scenes in a chapter).An outline has at least one third level heading.
This writes back the document's content to the yWriter project file.
This will replace the three-line "* * *" scene dividers with single blank lines. The style of the scene-dividing lines will be changed from Heading 4 to Heading 5.
This will select all paragraphs that start with "> " and change their paragraph style to Quotations.
Note: When exporting to yWriter, Quotations style paragraphs will automatically marked with "> " at the beginning.
This will select all paragraphs that start with "- " and apply a list paragraph style.
Note: When exporting to yWriter, Lists will automatically marked with "- " list strokes.
