Vellum Novel

Revised: 10/25/2019

Vellum lets an author create and publish eBooks in multiple formats. This minimal export style is designed to allow authors to work in Ulysses and export sheets as an intermediate Word file to Vellum for final layout.

To accomplish this, several Ulysses Markdown XL tags were adapted to facilitate export to Vellum. Markdown XL tag guide:

# Vellum Chapter Title
## Vellum Chapter Subtitle
### Vellum Part Title
#### Vellum Part Subtitle
##### Vellum Book Title
###### Vellum Book Subtitle

> Vellum Block Quote - works normally
'' Vellum Attribution (code block)
~~ Vellum Author (raw source block)
---- Vellum Ornamental Break - scene break.

++...++ (Inline Comment) works normally
::...:: Vellum Monospace - Font: “Courier” (Inline Marked)
||...|| Vellum Sans Serif - Font: “Helvetica Neue” (Inline Delete)

Tricks:

~space~ - raw source: space gives two blank lines
~⌥-space~ - raw source: ⌥-space gives one blank line

This Export Style creates a Word .DOCX file. Some style changes can be fine tuned prior to importation of the .DOCX into Vellum using either Microsoft Word or Apple Pages (File / Export To). After importation, Vellum can be used to edit. For example, the type of an ordered list may be changed to Numbered in Vellum.
