Import and Export capabilities

Extra Import/Export Formats

⚠️ Manuskript relies a lot on pandoc to export projects. Install pandoc for more export document formats such as ePub, OpenDocument (LibreOffice), and DocX (MS Word). See the whole list below.

Acces to Import / Export windows

Launch Import with File > Import… or F7 and Export with File > Compile or F6:

Import:

• It's theoretically possible to import all of the above using pandoc. This will probably be supported in manuskript 0.6.0.
• You can test the current develop progress on branch feature/importers
• Other formats possibly imported through pandoc: commonmark, docbook, haddock, json, mediawiki, org, t2t, textile, twiki

Export:

• Other formats easily exported through pandoc: asciidoc, beamer, commonmark, context, docbook, docbook5, dokuwiki, dzslides, fb2, haddock, icml, json, man, mediawiki, native, org, plain, revealjs, rtf, s5, slideous, slidy, tei, texinfo, textile, zimwiki

Highlighters

Highlighting formats only on the surface, it only helps to write, but is not saved in the document. Right now, manuskript supports only markdown highlighter.

Format	Highlighter	Notes
Plain text	❌	Should it be possible to disable highlighting?
Markdown	✅	Default. And not very performant, could be improved. Using noteflow's?
Fountain	❌	Could ~easily be implemented. But how to export?
