At its core, novelWriter is a multi-document plain text editor. The idea is to let you edit your
|
||||
text without having to deal with formatting until you generate a draft document or manuscript.
|
||||
Instead, you can focus on the writing right from the start.
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, you probably need *some* formatting for your text. At the very least you need emphasis.
|
||||
Most people are familiar with adding emphasis using ``_underscores_`` and ``**asterisks**``. This
|
||||
formatting standard comes from Markdown_ and is supported by novelWriter. It also uses Markdown
|
||||
formatting for defining document headings. If you need more specialised formatting, additional
|
||||
formatting options are available using a shortcode format. See :ref:`a_fmt_shortcodes` for more
|
||||
details.
|
||||
|
||||
.. admonition:: Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
novelWriter is designed for writing fiction, so the formatting features available are limited to
|
||||
those relevant for this purpose. It is *not* suitable for technical writing, and it is *not* a
|
||||
full-featured Markdown editor.
|
||||
|
||||
It is also not intended as a tool for organising research for writing, and therefore lacks
|
||||
formatting features you may need for this purpose. The notes feature in novelWriter is mainly
|
||||
intended for character profiles and plot outlines.
|
||||
|
||||
Your novel project in novelWriter is organised as a collection of separate plain text documents
|
||||
instead of a single, large document. The idea is to make it easier to reorganise your project
