Scrivomatic only works with markdown files named .md

[oWretch]

Hi Ian,

I've noticed in my testing that Scrivomatic only works with an input markdown file with a .md suffix. If I use a suffix such as .mdown, or no suffix at all (which is the default when exporting out of Scrivener) then Scrivomatic fails to find the resulting LaTeX file.

I'm not sure what the simplest way to handle this would be, without having to maintain a large list of possible suffixes. If it is possible to have Scrivomatic work without a suffix, that would be ideal.

Thanks,

Jerome

OK, I'll work out why I hard coded this (I always use .md but I agree it should ideally be suffix agnostic). Thanks for reporting this.

@oWretch — OK, I was hard coding .md in the postBuild function (when using the -b flag). I've updated scrivomatic to V1.0.17 to fix this, I tested using:

❯ scrivomatic -v -b -i Behaviour\ Platform.txt

And it all worked fine (see log below). It should now work with any file extension, please can you confirm it works and reopen if it doesn't. Thanks!

Works wonderfully now for me, thank you. Now I can just breeze through the compile settings out of Scrivener.
