All External Documents will be in their Scrivener Binder order. Any new documents created in Scrivener will appear in the External Folder. When you close Scrivener / sync manually, any modified documents will be updated in the external folder. You can move them around / edit them as much as you like (but make sure you use markdown syntax in Scrivener – *italics*, not italics – or they’ll be lost). When you next open Scrivener (or you sync manually), these documents will appear. ![]() You can write your texts in iA Writer, where they will automatically appear in DT3 There’s a way of using Scrivener as the organiser / final compiler for your book, while keeping your research in DT3, and writing the actual words in iA Writer.īasically, you use the External Folder Sync function in Scrivener, index that folder in DT3 (and set it up as a location in iA Writer as well if you want).ĭesignate the folder to use Markdown to use automatic sync and then: There are plenty of ways in DT to manually re-arrange the order in which md files are displayed, but I think that this would quickly become unwieldy when you are dealing with a big pile of them (in chapters, or indeed, chapters split into sections split into paragraphs, as I tend to work). So I don’t do more serious long form writing in DT (yet). The power offered by Ulysses in that regard, or in my case, by writing in Scrivener, isn’t something I’d be prepared to give up. ![]() But what you are using Ulysses for (free rearranging and exports of multiple files to one other format) isn’t yet available in DT (to the best of my knowledge or perhaps it could be scripted, but that’s not my forte). Somewhat longer documents are also fine, and navigating these has become easier by using headers that you can click in the inspector ‘Table of Contents’ (some third party md editors also offer this functionality, e.g. I also increasingly write short-form notes in DT, in markdown. There’s nothing remotely as good for this ( in fact, I couldn’t easily live without it now). I use my DT extensively as a large academic research library.
