Printing
========
The print button allows you to print the content in the preview window. You can either print to one
of your system's printers, or print directly to file. You can also print to file from the regular
print dialog. The direct to file option is just a shortcut.

Export Formats

Currently, six formats are supported for exporting.
OpenDocument Format
This produces an open document ``.odt`` file. The document produced has very little formatting,
and may require further editing afterwards. For a better formatted office document, you may get
a better result by exporting to HTML and then importing that HTML document into your office word
processor. They are generally good at importing HTML documents.
PDF Format
The PDF export is just a shortcut for print-to-file. For a better PDF result, you may instead
want to export to HTML and use a word processor to convert the HTML document to PDF.
The Build tool can produce either an ``.odt`` file, of a ``.fodt`` file. The latter is just a
flat version of the document format as a single XML file.

The HTML export format writes a single ``.htm`` file with minimal style formatting. The exported
HTML document is suitable for further processing by document conversion tools like Pandoc, for
importing in word processors, or for printing from browser. It is generally the best formatted
export option and supports all features of novelWriter since it is entirely generated by the
application and doesn't depend on Qt library features.

Standard Markdown
If you have Qt 5.14 or higher, the option to export to plain markdown is available. This feature
uses Qt's own markdown export feature.
Plain Text
The plain text export format writes a simple ``.txt`` file without any formatting at all.
Standard/GitHub Markdown
The Markdown export format comes in both Standard and GitHub flavour. The *only* difference in
terms of novelWriter functionality is the support of strikethrough text, which is not supported
by the Standard flavour, but *is* supported by the GitHub flavour.
