Enhancement/Question: Exporting the 'World' tab for Fiction Novels #1242

Open cheepqieep opened 8 months ago

cheepqieep commented 8 months ago

I'm not entirely sure if I've simply missed an option or setting, but I noticed that the compile/export function on manuskript works solely for the 'outline' section. I wanted to export all of the folders/text/etc. from the 'World' tab at once, as I needed to copy it over to another platform. Is it possible to export information in this worldbuilding tab, or is this not a feature yet? Thanks in advance

No, it isn't possible to export it over to another program. However, that is a feature that should exist.

It depends. If you do not use the single-file option for your projects, Manuskript creates a folder for your project which stores all necessary data. The world tab with all of its content is stored as a single .opml-file which can be opened with any text editor or better an XML or OPML editor.

Converting that to the format another platform or application can work with is likely the feature/question here. That depends on the software you want to work with, I suppose.

I have written a Python script that generates a Markdown document from the "world.opml" file, which can be further processed with the help of pandoc.
