Also, have you ever thought about writing your stuff in Markdown? I've made pretty good experiences with it regarding converting to epub, mobi and pdf. I'm not sure of norm page formatting though, so that might be a good reason to use LaTex instead.
- jonathanstrange 8y agoI'm writing with Papyrus Autor [1], which is pretty expensive proprietary software that, at least for the German language, has many advantages over other writing programs available. Especially the Duden spell-checking integration is much better than in any other software. IMHO, it's worth the money for that alone. If it weren't for this software, I'd definitely use Markdown and Emacs. [1] https://www.papyrus.de/ https://www.papyrus.de/
- akuji1993 8y agoThanks for the link, I'll definitely try it out :) I'm still figuring out what works best for me, since I've written a lot of fan fiction / rpg's with other people together but have yet to write a bigger piece of fiction by myself (working on a big fantasy project right now). So I might take Papyrus up down the line when I feel the need for it.
- ahaferburg 8y agoI'm curious. If you're using a special software for authors, why is it necessary to convert to LaTeX manually? Isn't this software capable of exporting to formats for publishing? I would imagine not a lot of authors bother with LaTeX.
- jonathanstrange 8y agoIt doesn't convert to LaTeX, it's intended for creative writing, not for academic writing, and LaTeX plays no role in this market. LaTeX is really just used in academic writing.
