![]() The challenge is just working out a format that will satisfy enough users to warrant the effort. Markdown is pretty simple, so a markdown export would be relatively easy for us to implement. However, I think there is an expectation amongst most users that the software they are using to plan their stories should also allow them to export their plan to a text format. And perhaps this is the best place to do this kind of detailed narrative exploration as a precursor to generating a list of scenes. I am currently doing all of this kind of work inside Ulysses. Where it currently falls short is in the textual handling of ideas, general sketches, notes and narrative development. ![]() Rather than handle this through the Sync mechanism, character info could be exported and then opened inside other writing apps.ĪT3 is excellent at handling data and seeing connections between the different types of data. It would also get around the issue of sending character information into Scrivener and Ulysses. Opening up the export function to allow text-based exports to docx files or RTF(D) files and preferably also Markdown, would also allow users who write in Word or Google Docs to be able to get to the narrative information they are building inside AT3. But I don’t want to have to install LibreOffice and the JavaScript runtime environment onto my Mac, as I find LibreOffice clunky and really this is something that AT3 should be able to do. I have seen the post by regarding the excellent work he has done allowing users to import narrative elements into Libre Office Import the narrative into LibreOffice. ![]() There is the option to export to PDFs and images and to CSV/ TSV and Timeline Formats, but for me, as a writer, who works with words, these formats are next to useless. Moving on nearly two and a half years and I feel the need to be able to access narrative elements outside of AT3. But for users who do not use Scrivener, like me, this is not an answer. In answer to that feature request some users pointed out that syncing between AT3 and Scrivener would generate an outline which was printable. It seemed strange to me that this was not possible for software which has the ability to plan a narrative outline. I made a feature request during the early alpha and beta phases to be able to see the Summary information inline on the Narrative Outline view.
