novelWriter is a simple, multi-document plain text editor using a modified markdown syntax to apply
|
||||
simple formatting to the text. It is designed for writing novels, and allows for the component
|
||||
documents to be ordered freely to create the desired structure of the novel. More details about how
|

projects are structured is covered on the :ref:`a_struct` page.

In addition, the project can contain notes on the various plot elements, characters, locations,

etc, that make up the story. These notes are organised in a set of category-specific top-level
|
||||
folders (root folders), and each entry can be tagged and cross-referenced from within the novel
|
||||
documents and notes. These tags make it possible to inter-link documents, and generate an overview
|

of the entire novel project and how the various documents and plot elements are interconnected.

This is covered on the :ref:`a_proj` and :ref:`a_notes` pages.

verify that the markdown tags are used correctly.
