You need to write your actual content in separate plain text files written with Markdown formatting. The Book.txt file is just a list of files. You can see the sample content for each Leanpub book styles by clickling on the following download links for business, fiction and technical books.

I'll try to explain briefly here.

The chapter structure is separate from the files.

# This is an h1, which becomes a chapter

## This is an h2, which becomes a section

### This is an h3, which becomes as subsection

I created an account and a book, found it in my Dropbox and I edited the Book.txt file. I then returned to the Leanpub website and generated a preview. However, the preview didn't have the contents of Book.txt that I just updated. What's up?

How do I make a free sample book available to readers? I'm writing in Leanpub-Flavored Markdown.

Why do I need to format my Word file to match Leanpub's Word template style guide?
