I’m sure I had figured this out at some point, but: thinking out loud on #Drafts workflow for working on a manuscript or writing project (a list of considerations and ingredients to assemble):
- A manuscript/project workspace
- An “index” or outline draft; this would serve both as a table of contents AND as a basis for compiling a complete document; this would also allow for resequencing. You can decide how “atomic” you want your sections to be.
- An action to list all drafts in a workspace (to make it easy to produce/update the index/outline)
- A transclude action (plenty of these in the action directory) to compile all the appropriate drafts into a single draft in the order determined by the index/outline
- Could this also work in reverse? Create a series of empty (titled) drafts from an outline?
- Consider some scripting to format the index/outline appropriately for the compiled draft (remove double square brackets)…
That should cover the basics, right? My personal needs are pretty slight: the projects I’m working on don’t typically demand images or equations… any gotchas or nice-to-haves that I’m failing to consider?
