I think I just figured out the best way to export (for me it was multimarkdown). I don’t remember the compile feature vividly. I don’t need that feature built-in, but if it’s very useful for you then once again it’s a big reason to stay with Scrivener. But based on what you’ve written you are not in the same situation.Īnother huge benefit of Scrivener is the ability to collate research documents (research broadly speaking as a collection of PDF documents). That’s a huge time saver for me, and a huge reduction of writing friction. The beauty of markdown for me is I can do 2 things at the same time: one markdown file to create both web-ready content and PDF-ready content at the same time. So I have a certain freedom relative to other academics in terms of format of text based work. I don’t really need to worry/use MS Word. Unless you have a very good reason to move to markdown only … it seems like Scrivener is your perfect app.Īll my written work is either for the web (course websites, other kinds of websites) or as PDFs. It may not be a good fit for you, but useful to try the shoes on. Plus the Mac version can be downloaded with a 14 day trial. When I do use on iOS it’s primarily to review writing not to create more content (I pretty much hate typing on either device). At that point the price isn’t worth it for me. If I had to pay the normal price for it (instead of my university paying for it) then I’d probably switch to Numbers. On the other hand, Excel isn’t something I enjoy (I don’t hate it either) but I do use often. If it’s something I use a lot and enjoy then those are my key priorities. I’m a professional and wanted tools with little-to-no friction and that were a joy to use. I don’t think the price ever diverted me. If markdown is NOT a key feature for you then Scrivener should probably always be choice 1. The developer made “nods” toward markdown but there’s no native markdown previewing. The iOS is pretty “lame” and not worth discussing. … where I found it less than great was: (1) handling of markdown and (2) the iOS app. I think in the end it all depends on how you write and what your projects are like.
