Until Scrivener 3 for Windows finally appears ($45, 2019?), Manuskript is the best option for Windows desktops for fiction writers.<\/p>\n<p>Though not for serious non-fiction. I&#8217;ve looked all over its UI and the wiki \/ changelog \/ website and it seems to completely lack a footnotes system or any plan for one.  Scribus is useless at footnotes, and while Affinity Publisher is free it is still stuck in a footnote-less and buggy beta. So if you need open source software it seems your only currently-developed option for non-fiction is LibreOffice Writer.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/manu08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/manu08.jpg?w=529\" alt=\"\" width=\"529\" height=\"319\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-20962\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The first thing you&#8217;ll want to do in Manuskript, when trying it, is change the tiny squished font in the main writer.  Font settings are not easy to find initially, but are down in: Edit | Settings | Views | Text Editor | Font.  You can also change padding, line-spacing, background colour and more.  The full-screen view has its own font and background controls, also found by digging into the same Settings panel.  Don&#8217;t accept the clunky defaults, and figure on spending about 30 minutes setting up the UI and fonts.<\/p>\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/jgm\/pandoc\/releases\/tag\/2.5\">Pandoc<\/a> installed it can import more file formats than it supports &#8216;out of the box&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Writers may be interested to know that the free open source Scrivener-clone Manuskript has today popped out a Manuskript 0.8 &hellip;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/2018\/12\/09\/manuskript-0-8\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-odd-scratchings"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jurn.link\/tentaclii\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
