Just starting with MMD on Windows
Hi,
I've installed MMD 6.5.1 (latest installer, apparently) and trie to use it. I got the following which I do not understand, having reviewed the help and the pdf manual (which is probably out of date). I would appreciate some help I also tried it with -t odf and without an output file.
C:\Windows\system32>cd "d:\Dropbox\_Writing\ehr commentary\ScrivenerWork"
C:\Windows\system32>d:
d:\Dropbox\_Writing\ehr commentary\ScrivenerWork>mmd --to=odf --output=c:\temp\x.odf "Are Information and Data Synonymous-5.md"
MultiMarkdown: option "--to" requires an argument
Try 'multimarkdown --help' for more information.
'"d:\Dropbox\_Writing\ehr commentary\ScrivenerWork\\multimarkdown"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

If you need complex citations, then yes you may need another tool.
You could also try using the `[not cited][#10]` trick to see if that
will force your citations into a certain order.

That seems odd -- the FODT and ODT conversion use the same MMD->XML
processing code, they just bundle the files differently. It's unusual
that they would result in different formatting.
If you send me specific examples, I can take a look at what is happening.
