LibreOffice and/or OpenOffice? Plain old text files, edited in the editor of your choice, organised in directories "chapter 1", "chapter 2", etc? Writers who argue about bespoke applications for managing their writing are like programmers who argue about IDEs. All IDEs suck, and if you know your tools, you don't need one. https://mkaz.blog/code/unix-is-my-ide/ https://blog.sanctum.geek.nz/series/unix-as-ide/ And yes, Unix tools as an IDE sucks too. It's an IDE, so by definition it sucks. Choose the suckage you prefer, and go for it. http://wcaleb.org/blog/my-academic-book-in-plain-text https://richardlent.github.io/post/the-plain-text-workflow/ https://economicsfromthetopdown.com/2020/12/10/why-and-how-i-write-scientific-documents-in-plain-text/ Relevant: Three Dead Trolls In A Baggie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d85p7JZXNy8 -- Steve ____________________________________________________ tde-users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Web mail archive available at https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
