@mittie i'm always glad if i can be of help :) did you have a look at scrivener btw? not perfect but worth a look literatureandlatte.com/scriv…

@ufried yep. seems to be more useful for blogging, articles, etc. A book with ~1000 pages is a different story.

@mittie @ufried Actually it is designed for writing books. However, I'm too used to how I do thinks to find it useful.

@ewolff @mittie @ufried I think Scrivener is perfect for writing non-technical books. I’ll definitely use some form of plain text next time.

Replying to @ufried
@ufried @ewolff @mittie I agree. We haven’t done so yet because it’s still quite un-generic in a lot of places.

@stilkov @ufried @ewolff @mittie and it's pretty innoQ specific. Anyways, LyX is still a good take for writing technical books.
