I think that as long as the markup is truly minimal then it is nicer to write with than putting in styles. Personally I find Ulysses to be a truly great writing environment. It does indeed work fine for just writing from scratch but you cannot import RTF into it as you could with Scrivener. Yes Ulysses is a plain text editor with minimalist markup. And I think Ulysses only works with plaintext/markdown? (Which might be fine for just writing from scratch.) I think back then I went for Scrivener, as I needed to work with RTF both import and export. I seem to have Ulysses 2.1, but version 3 is out, it seems. (Or is there just a lot of opinions among the Nisus users on stuff like this?)įlips wrote:On a side-note: I have Ulysses licence as well, why do you prefer it? So how will such a flow work with making notes and references?ĭo you do outline work separately and all the writing in NWP, or what does the experts say? The difference now is that I never had to bother about the references and notes before. In addition to using NWP, I also own Scrivener, and sometimes I used that extensively in the creatively in the first stages to get down different parts and restructure them before compiling and putting finishing touches on it in Nisus. (Or is that more interesting for people who plan on writing lots of such papers?) The thing is, I'm wondering about the best workflow.įor the references/notes, to keep track of authors and books, how do you guys go about it?ĭo you integrate it with LibraryThing (is that possible?), or third pary tools like Bookends? (I tried searching this, but couldn't find posts that covered it, feel free to redirect me.) I'm about to start writing on a lengthy academic paper.
