![]() The HTML intermediate steps were eliminated by ODT read and write routines. From this came extensions for OpenOffice and LibreOffice. Then followed Python scripts for converting to HTML format, which was the bridge to Office word processing. Furthermore, it has an ingenious mechanism for backwards compatible extensions, which lends itself to customization.įirst, I created a Python library with classes for reading and writing the file format. It is easy to understand and uses a straightforward system for IDs. I settled on the yWriter 7 file format because, on the one hand, I had been using yWriter 5 for a long time with great satisfaction, and on the other hand, the then new yw7 XML format stores a lot of useful metadata, such as date/time and duration of scenes. ![]() I too once set out to find the Holy Grail of consistent data management for novel projects, so let me add my two cents. It’s all good!Ī fascinating discussion that has escaped me until now. ![]() Others feel the same about Plottr or other such software. I’m not arguing in any objective sense that one piece of software is better than another, only that, for me, I’m very glad to have found AT3, for what that’s worth. I can keep it all coordinated with Scrivener through syncing. As I write, I can look at my story within a novel or the stories across my novels, according to pretty much any criteria I choose to define. I can even write asynchronously, for example, writing the last scene of the last novel before I’ve started writing anything else. I can just keep using the same project with all of the elements – timeline, characters, objects that I need to keep track of, character arcs, world, etc. I guess the thing for me is that with AT3, there is no need to create a new project just because I’m writing the next novel in a series. Certainly the ability to transfer elements from one novel to a new novel project is highly useful. I think Plotter is an excellent tool, and it’s quite popular for a reason. I am thinking about solutions for those that are not scripting or programming gurus… mm file (or use the import xml in the dev tool), create one or more tables out of that, export to csv and use the csv2md python script found on github, that can create a markdown note for each line in a csv file, and where you can set parameters for what you want to be parent folders etc.īut if anyone have found some good scripts for when you don’t just want a single md file for your whole mind map, let me know please… The only real solution I have found so fare, but not tested yet because I need to clean my Freeplane Project, is to make a Power Query import of a. It might not be a problem for everyone, specially for small mind maps, but for those that have large mind maps and want them into folders and files, it will be a lot of work getting a mind map file converted to a files and folder structure if you can’t do some kind of scripting/programming. ![]() The same problem occurred when trying to use the tools in Scrivener. I have a relatively simple genealogy mind map for one person with 10 levels and 882 “Nodes”, so a relatively small mind map… and it was a nightmare to try to create a useable file and folder structure out of the markdown file exported from Freeplane. So say you have a mind map with 15 levels you will have a large job restructuring it into folders and files, and you will need to use a software that do support creating new notes and folders out of selected text, or write a script that does that job… mm to Markdown is that the export or transcoding scripts is mostly limited by the 6 levels of headers that Markdown support, so if you have advanced mind maps with a deeper structure than that, you will not get it correctly “converted/transcoded”.Īnd, all the exporters and transcoders/converters I have found (open source and free) do not transcribe the mind map to multiple files and folders, it creates the whole mind map as one markdown file with x levels of headers (and no more than 6 levels with headers) the rest is “just” a string of “#”'s because markdown doesn’t support more than the 6 levels. Freeplane use as default, the OPML format is somehow limited.Īnother limitation of exporting from OPML or.
