Re: book authoring: formatting, auto-save, auto-commit to git

[Chris George]

Hello,

Formatting depends on the type of book.

For fiction, any of the popular markup languages will do it for you as few
fiction writers need much beyond bold and italic. Leo is well integrated
with rst and I taught myself to use it while I was learning Leo.

For non-fiction, the more sophisticated options might be required.
rst/Sphinx, asciidoc, or latex would all look after most use cases.

The autosave plugin can be modified for a short interval, although I tend
to live with 300 seconds.

I use a directory watch utility in linux and commit every saved .leo file
(which I keep in one folder and sync with Mega cloud storage) to a fossil
repository (also synced).

HTH,

Chris

book authoring: formatting, auto-save, auto-commit to git

[Terrence-Monroe: Brannon]

Regarding book authoring: 

What formatting (rst, asciidoc) works well to make a book with Leo?

If I want my work to be automatically auto-saved how can this be achieved? 
Google docs automatically saves as I type (so does Evernote).

If I want my work to be auto-committed to a git repo, how can this be 
achieved?
