Re: Recommendations for metadata storage in Stylz

Hello Steve, I would think YAML is the best choice here. It is easy to type and easy for the beginner to understand. You could provide simple templates for the most common cases. My own feeling is that anything more complicated is going to turn off would-be authors. Good luck with this project!

Hi Steve, Could you elaborate a bit on your pandoc/markdown comments? What kind of formatting is it that you find difficult/deficient. My impression is that it creates pretty clean HTML so that the formatting is via CSS. I have been helping a friend produce travel diaries for his family and

Re: Xubuntu 20.04: Qt Library

Or use Gnu Stow to keep the new installation tucked safely away from the normal Debian tree structure. The Gnu documentation is good, and there are a number of good tutorials. Best of both worlds since you don't destroy the basic Debian structure with the risky PPA and you can still have the new

Re: LibreOffice to LyX

Why is it so hard to get people to use styles? I worked recently with a friend to convert his Word document into an ePub. My advice is don't ever, ever do this! Even though I had advocated the use of styles, he had spent hours using direct formatting. And it is not just amateurs. I write for a

Re: lyx remove in Debian bullseye

Hi Wolfgang, I can't help you with your immediate problem, but if you again wish to install multiple versions of a program, I suggest using GNU Stow. It allows multiple versions to be installed and easily managed. Good luck with the more immediate problem. Cheers, Alan On Thu, 11 Aug 2022 at
