+
+novelWriter is a markdown-like text editor designed for writing novels and larger projects of many
+smaller plain text documents. It uses its own flavour of markdown that supports a meta data syntax
+for comments, synopsis and cross-referencing between files. The idea is to have a simple text editor
+which allows for easy organisation of text files and notes, built on a plain text file project
+repository for robustness.
+
+The plain text storage is suitable for version control software, and also well suited for file
+synchronisation tools. The core project structure is stored in a project XML file. Other meta data
+is primarily saved in JSON files.
