Exporting Your Work

When it’s time to share your work — with an editor, beta readers, or the world — export it as PDF, DOCX, or Markdown. Your writing is never locked into Scriptorium.

  1. Open the Export page from your project.
  2. Choose what to include — tick the manuscripts to export. Selecting a chapter selects its scenes automatically.
  3. Order them — drag manuscripts to set the export order, and place the table of contents where you want it.
  4. Pick a format and export.

The most polished output — a print-ready document:

  • A4 pages with page numbers
  • Table of contents with accurate page numbers
  • Your full Block Style typography, including custom fonts
  • Hyphenation with per-language dictionaries (set your project language)
  • Drop caps for chapter openings
  • Images with their alignment, wrapping, and sizing preserved
  • Footnotes at the bottom of the page
  • Code blocks with syntax highlighting
  • Configurable page breaks per manuscript level (e.g. every chapter starts a new page)

For sending to editors and anyone working in Word:

  • Page breaks, alignment, and indentation preserved
  • Text color and highlights carried over
  • Real Word footnotes
  • Images included with their sizing

Plain-text output that works everywhere:

  • Standard tables, fenced code blocks, and footnotes
  • Checklists as - [x] / - [ ]
  • Scene breaks as * * *, page breaks as ---

Individual entities and notes can be exported to PDF or Markdown from their action menu in the sidebar. Entity exports include the name, content, and a properties section — handy for sharing a character sheet.
