Depending on your writing style, you may need to separate between soft and hard scene breaks
|
||||
within chapters. Like for instance if you switch point-of-view character often.
|
||||
|
||||
In such cases you may want to use a scene heading for hard scene breaks and a section heading
|
||||
for soft scene breaks. The :guilabel:`Build Manuscript` tool will let you add separate
|
||||
formatting for the two when you generate your manuscript. You can for instance add the common
|
||||
"``* * *``" for hard breaks and select to hide section breaks, which will just insert an empty
|
||||
paragraph in their place. See :ref:`a_manuscript_settings` for more details.
|
||||
|
||||
Keep in mind that this is not what the section heading is intended for, so the app will not
|
||||
understand the section heading as a scene, but it will be formatted correctly in the manuscript.
|
||||
In such cases you may want to use different scene headings for hard and soft scene breaks. The
|
||||
**Build Manuscript** tool will let you define a different format for scenes using the ``###``
|
||||
and ``###!`` heading codes when you generate your manuscript. You can for instance add the
|
||||
common "``* * *``" for hard breaks and select to soft scene breaks, which will just insert an
|
||||
empty paragraph in their place. See :ref:`a_manuscript_settings` for more details.

.. versionadded:: 2.4

You can now distinguish between soft and hard scene breaks with a modified scene header. See
