i write passable poems using ed; it doesn't get more distraction free than that.
i understand the drive to flatten out the learning curve of software for non-software-people. most of these options could be covered quickly with an author oriented LaTeX frontend, and i venture to guess that would be easier to develop. It already has an entire document class for books, covering frontmatter, mainmatter, backmatter, chapters, table of contents, headers footers, bibliography, etc. all that is needed is a author friendly GUI. file management, tabs, etc would then be the main part of the NEO ecosystem. One just has to supplement with templates and never mess with actual document creation.
- abricot 9y agoYes, LaTeX is near-perfect for print, but pretty much useless for ebook formats.
