goal

Create ICML and HTML files from a styled docx manuscript file.

  • The ICML is the content of the inDesing project that will originate the print publication
  • The HTML is the content of the Website project

why

  • updatable: changes to the manuscript are propagated to the outputs
  • reusable: structure (headings, bloque quotes) and paragraphs styles (bold, italics) are maintained from manuscript to outputs

how

By Using Pandoc


pandoc: is a software for converting text between different markups

Hybrid Publishing Editor

However Pandoc's text-based interface can be challenging to use to those unused to use the terminal.

Luckily there are a few Web interfaces to Pandoc, such as Hybrid Publishing Editor by [Michael Murtaugh http://automatist.org/]
