<p><i>A brief guide to make the most out of the Build Novel Project tool.</i></p>
<h2>Novel Title Formats</h2>
<p>The format of the various title levels in the files under the Novel folder can be customised in
these settings. The actual title given in the headings of your files will replace all
occurrences of the keyword <mark>%title%</mark>. Any static text will be left as-is in the
these settings. The actual title given in the headings of your files will for instance replace
all occurrences of the keyword <mark>%title%</mark>. Any static text will be left as-is in the
final title. An empty field means the title isn't written out at all.</p>
<p>The available formatting keywords are:</p>
<p><mark>%title%</mark> &ndash; This is replaced with the text you put in your headings in your
documents</p>
<p><mark>%num%</mark> &ndash; This is replaced with the chapter number of your chapter type
headings. These are generated automaticall starting from 1.</p>
<p><mark>%numword%</mark> &ndash; This is replaced with the chapter number of your chapter type
headings, but instead of an arabic number, the word for it is used instead, e.g. One, Two,
Fifteen, Twenty-Five, etc.</p>
<p><mark>%chnum%</mark> &ndash; This is replaced with the chapter number of your chapter type
headings. These are generated automaticall starting from 1, but ignoring chapter headings in
files with "Unnumbered" layout.</p>
<p><mark>%chnumword%</mark> &ndash; This is replaced with the chapter number, but instead of an
arabic number, the word for it is used, e.g. One, Two, Fifteen, Twenty-Five, etc.</p>
<p><mark>%scnum%</mark> &ndash; This is replaced with the scene number. The number is reset to one
for each new chapter, so it is the scene number within the current chapter.</p>
<p><mark>%scabsnum%</mark> &ndash; This is replaced with the absolute scene number. That is, the
number is counted from the first scene in the novel, and not reset for each chapter.</p>
<p><mark>\\</mark> &ndash; Two backslashes are replaced by a line break.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> The Scene format is treated slightly differently than the other title formats. If a
scene format is a constant text, that is, contains no <mark>%title%</mark>, it will be treated
as a scene separator instead. Scene separators are centred, and not shown if the chapter starts
directly on the first scene. If the field is blank, a large space between the scenes is added
instead.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> The Scene and Section formats are treated slightly differently than the other title
formats. If the format is a constant text, that is, contains no <mark>%keyword%</mark> tags, it
will be treated as a separator instead. Scene and Section separators are centred, and for
scenes, not shown if placed directly after the chapter heading. For instance, it you want the
classic three asterisk <mark>* * *</mark> separator between scenes, just put that into the
scene format box, and nothing else.</p>
<h2>Build Overrides</h2>
<p><b>Novel Outline Mode:</b> This option will build an outline version of the novel rather than the
