Full AutomaticBook Workflow

1. ✍️ Text Preparation with Preparo

➔ Preparo
- Importing, writing, editing, and structuring the manuscript into clean Markdown
- Automatic splitting into .md chapter files
- Generation of metadata.yaml and bibliography files (.bib/.json + .csl)

2. Two Distinct Paths Depending on Final Output

🖨️ 2.1. InDesign Workflow (Print Book, Print-ready or Interactive PDF)

Preparo → .md files + metadata.yaml
➔ BookCreator (InDesign):
- Creates .indd files for each chapter and book section
- Injects raw text and metadata variables
➔ Markdown-Import:
- Converts Markdown tags into InDesign styles
➔ SuperScript:
- Applies typographic corrections according to editorial standards
➔ Inspectora:
- Final manual corrections and visual inspection
- PDF export for the printer

📖 2.2. EPUB Workflow (Digital Publishing)

Preparo → .md files + metadata.yaml
➔ Python Script (automated):
- Uses Pandoc to compile all .md files into a single .epub
- EPUB export cleanup script
➔ Sigil:
- Fine editing, structural correction, EPUB finalization
- Export of a distribution-ready EPUB file
