each of my 8 novels/paperbacks/ebooks are generated from rather complicated yWriter projects - including footnotes for some, illustrations for others, and a lot of other things I've forgotten. (If anyone were to see how I'm using global variables, project variables, HTM and TEX tags and conditional export they'd probably have a fit.)

Actually, I'd love to see a comprehensive screencast and/or tutorial document on how you accomplish all this with yWriter. I've been firmly in edit mode on my novel, so while I've been watching all the changes you've been making, I haven't been playing with them, and they all seem pretty obfuscated at this point. I'd love to see what your process is, and exactly when/where/how/why you're incorporating LaTeX/HTML into your project files.

I've attached the complete Hal Spacejock 1 project minus chapters 4-35. They're all the same layout as the first three chapters anyway.

There aren't any globals defined because they're stored in the main yWriter5.ini, and I'm using a different PC at the moment (laptop) which doesn't have those settings on it.

Hope it helps. If you press Ctrl+Alt+X in yWriter it generates a TEX file of your project. Ebook export is via Project - Export, as is RTF.

Note the Export tab in the scene editor - that determines which scenes are exported based on the destination format.
