It uses a minimal formatting syntax inspired by Markdown, and adds a meta data syntax +for comments, synopsis, and cross-referencing. It's designed to be a simple text editor that allows +for easy organisation of text and notes, using human readable text files as storage for robustness. + +The project storage is suitable for version control software, and also well suited for file +synchronisation tools. All text is saved as plain text files with a meta data header, the core +project structure is stored in a single project XML file, and other meta data is primarily saved as +JSON files. + +The application is written in Python 3 (3.6+) using Qt5 and PyQt5 (5.3+). It is developed on Linux, +but should in principle work fine on other operating systems as well as long as dependencies are +met. It is regularly tested on Debian and Ubuntu Linux, Windows, and macOS. + +novelWriter is developed and maintained by [Veronica Berglyd Olsen](https://github.com/vkbo). + +**Website:** https://novelwriter.io +**Documentation:** https://novelwriter.readthedocs.io +**Source Code:** https://github.com/vkbo/novelWriter
