Re: Also
Great article, thanks. That's a good way to do it with.large docs - using "vanilla" word and then applying style at the end.
Last time I had a big doc to work on I used multiple markdown files which I concatenate using a windows command script which also pandocs into a word processor file.
Pandoc does a nice job of creating libre office / open office which open nicely in ms-word.
One advantage of this approach is you can also get the same command script to generate nice html off those markdown files. (Should also be good for generating ebook versions, but I haven't tried that).
Used iAwriter for a while on windows + android for my markdown needs (which is pretty much everything I write). Distraction free editing with Google Drive support.
But have cast it aside recently to explore Obsidian (win and android). Currently very much enamoured with obsidian, but the beauty of markdown is that it doesn't matter what edible you use, I can go back it iAwriter if I wanted to since they are just text files. I use the free version of obsidian and DriveSynch manages the synch with Google Drive.
Google drive handles markdown nicely these days by the way. I do everything I possibly can in markdown, complex docs through to shopping lists.
Obsidian is cool because it intelligently recognises links between your markdown files - you can see a mindmap/ "the brain" style visual representation of the relationships between your files and, like a.wiki, enables redlinks (I.e creating a link to a non-existent file means.that when you click on it later the file is automatically created for you)
Finally another benefit of markdown is you can use source control software such as git to support your writing efforts.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
