The manual is a work in progress. It is used to produce the open-access philosophy journal Dialectica and compiles the solutions we've adopted to deal with a range of typesetting problems. It is fairly extensive but far from complete.
The OMMS aims to make markdown-based professional-quality publishing available to academic teams with no advanced technical knowledge. It explains how to convert manuscripts into, or author them as, markdown documents, and turn them into beautifully typeset outputs in multiple print and digital formats.
No prior knowledge of markdown is required; authoring and copyediting can largely be done using visual tools. Production, however, realistically requires some technical knowledge (CSS for web output, LaTeX for print output).
Improvements welcome: use pull requests. For substantial changes it's best to contact us before.
Developed by the Dialoa team and philosophie.ch. Written mostly by Julien Dutant with input from Dialectica's copyeditors.
