About The Leanpub Manual

This is a short manual. It contains three things:

A description of the various writing modes.
A discussion of Leanpub Flavoured Markdown vs. Markua
Getting Started instructions for each writing mode.

The Getting Started instructions in this many vary based on the writing mode of your book. So, you should only read the Getting Started chapter for the specific writing mode you have chosen.

If you already know which writing mode you want to choose, and if the Leanpub Flavoured Markdown vs. Markua decision doesn’t apply (or you want to save it for later), you can skip to the Getting Started chapter for that writing mode now.

If you want to first learn a bit about the different writing modes, and a bit about the Leanpub Flavoured Markdown vs. Markua decision, read on.
