Extra Import/Export Formats
:warning: 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:

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 | :x: | Should it be possible to disable highlighting? |
| Markdown | :white_check_mark: | Default. And not very performant, could be improved. Using noteflow's? |
| Fountain | :x: | Could ~easily be implemented. But how to export? |
