I love writing in Markdeep. It’s Markdown on steroids. I just wrote a whole book in Markdeep and loved it. Markdeep writes files for web browsers, and it works great for that.

When it was time to publish my book, it was important to me to have gorgeous typography, and manual control over where every figure was placed. Those qualities are hard to get out of a web browser. So I looked at professional layout tools, and chose Adobe’s InDesign.

This is a great program with a ton of features and capabilities, but I struggled for a few days to find a good workflow to get from Markdeep to InDesign. I eventually hit on a process that worked for me, and once I had it figured out, layout was a breeze. In this short document, I describe my workflow in case you want to do something similar.
