For those who do write novels, books etc. What software do you use? What format? FOSS or proprietary?

    I don’t write books but I’ve helped written a couple textbooks which used LaTeX. I personally use TeXstudio, but there’s many clients out there. If you appreciate beautiful typesetting, you’ll likely enjoy TeX despite its learning curve.

      +1 for LaTeX. Did my PhD dissertation in it, wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I prefer Visual Studio Code with a couple of plugins as an editor.
