Export

Save a notebook as Markdown, HTML, EPUB, PDF, and/or a portable JSON file.

UI: Workflow → Export — pick formats and typography. Workspace ZIP backup is separate: backup and restore. Fine-tune image+text packages: fine-tune export.

This notebook

./transcribe.sh cli export "$TRANSCRIBE_PROJECTS_DIR/my-notebook"
# … export <project> /path/to/dest
# … export <project> --format pdf --format epub --profile large_print

Checksums, options, file list

Default destination is the project exports/ directory unless overridden (CLI dest / TRANSCRIBE_EXPORT_DIR).

Every bundle stamps content_revision from the same frozen snapshot used to build all formats.

Multi-notebook anthology

./transcribe.sh cli export --notebooks nb-a nb-b --title "Spring journals" /path/to/dest

Produces bundle.transcribe.json + per-notebook JSON under notebooks/<slug>/… with bundle_revision.

Typography profiles

Builtin export profiles: readable / compact / large_print (activate under Settings → Profiles, target export, or pass --profile on the CLI). Settings → Export shows read-only defaults.

Fine-tune export

Separate CLI for images + preferred/active text packages for external training:

./transcribe.sh cli export-finetune "$TRANSCRIBE_PROJECTS_DIR/my-notebook"

See finetune_export.md.
