Before that I was jamming with a #plaintext workflow using markdown, coteditor + terminal.app (zsh) + #pandoc after getting red-pilled by @patric. (2/8)
Working on my #pandoc-based Markdown publishing system. Seems to me that the big gap is with non-fiction, where you often want to show or explain something technical or detailed, and need to decide how to mark it up. Full syntax-highlighting is of little use because it lacks focus or annotation (and only works for source code), and manual tagging with HTML/CSS is tedious and lacks automation.
@foxy created a custom writer to output Scribus `.sla` documents.
https://codeberg.org/foxy/scribus-writer.lua
Scribus is an open source, desktop publishing application, see https://www.scribus.net. The exporter is also available as a Scribus plugin.

Want to convert from any #Pandoc-compatible file format to #Scribus? Just use my latest #sideProject (´。• ω •。`)

https://codeberg.org/foxy/scribus-writer.lua

I wrote this to lighten the workload of the board behind my Master's programme's magazine. The Pandoc writer itself is in pure #Lua. Only the GUI wrapper had to be necessarily written in #Python (since it is a Scribus plugin).

Link at end but Tagging @dmoonfire and also seeing if other #Pandoc experts have a solution. In one of my templates, link at end, I'm trying to make a version that will generate/add page numbers when I convert with Pandoc using this template. For some reason, Microsoft Word won't let me add page numbers to the template itself. Has anyone done this with templates? Made it so page numbers are added upon conversion? Literary agents and publishers don't like plain text files, and they need things in Shun Manuscript format, some agents and publishers want page numbers so I wanna just add it to a template and never have to think about it again. This is my template. https://github.com/rkingett/writertools/blob/main/Pandoc%20templates/PandocReferenceWithHeadingsCreatingNewPages.docx

Another example of using Publish, my #pandoc wrapper, this time to publish any instalment in a novel series, using shared front-/back-matter for consistency, and clean manuscript Markdown files. https://mattgemmell.scot/publishing-a-novel-series-with-pandoc-publish/
