Ok, thanks Katherine.

I reinstalled 2 and upgraded various projects, I then upgraded Scriv to 3 alongside; and for the most part that appears to be working (not bulletproof though).

So I'm hoping that the ticket can be closed.

Possible, but I can't check. I 'replaced' Scriv rather than a separate install. If I uninstall 3 will 2 magically reappear or do I have to reinstall 2 as well?

Like a couple of others, I'm having some problems after the upgrade to Scriv 3. I deliberately held off as I didn't really need anything more than I already had, but any excuse to put off doing any writing, eh? Anyway. It's biting me. After the upgrade I had a quick look at the tutorial project - th...

It's been a while since I used Scriv or posted here, but will give this a go. Short answer, 'I don't think so'. You can't conditionally compile formatting instructions based on label (or keyword) contents. Depending on your target output there may be ways to get you closer. The beauty of Scriv is in...

Various options: 1. As suggested - use keywords. 2. Add a comment (don't bother with labels, unless you want then for some other purpose). Shift+Apple+Asterisk - use a different comment-label for each voice (this will also give you a visible queue in the Scrivening itself. Then search for that comme...

The genre you're writing in will affect the answer, won't it? Hmm. 'Unremarkable but well-meaning' is a very hard difficult thing to pin down because of the age described. 'Plain Jane' would have been in fashion at one point. American English would give you 'bachelorette'. I wouldn't sweat the noun ...

There are other ways of achieving the effect in Scriv - e.g. putting the translation in a Comment or Annotation. But going outside Scriv and using Word's functions around creating/converting/splitting tables and/or Find/Replace will get you there quicker. AFAIK there is nothing that could be done at...

Ok - you're going to have to think outside Scriv here - at least to begin with, unless you're willing to hoist your translated text in the right place in the binder. Basically, if you want to alternate Text A and Text B you are effectively replicating a table / row structure. So you'll need to build...

The answer - as ever - is to go for a walk. Then get drunk. Then sit and think for an extended period of time while listening to trance music (or any meditative music). Try and hold a pen vaguely near some paper for some or all of these activities. You can do these in any order you like. But ultimat...

The Frontmatter checkbox lets you have different docs for Epub format. As in, you can select for each format you want to compile to, to have different front matter.

If you download / install the Novel template thingy (I think it's in the Extras) it will make it clear.

Right. A while back I started a novel. It had a hero. Let's call him Tom. He ran around for a while in a vaguely Arthur-Dent fashion until 76k words had elapsed and I suddenly realised that things kept happening to him, and he wasn't being particularly heroic. I hadn't quite finished, but I knew wha...

It's a pity in a way that you can only use something like keywords about a *document*, rather than a paragraph, say; if I was able to note that a paragraph relating to file 44,322/30, say, belonged to 1916, and perhaps even was able to colour that paragraph in a colour coded to '1916', it would be ...
