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.

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 as JSON files.

Any operating system that can run Python 3 and has the Qt 5 libraries should be able to run
novelWriter. It runs fine on Linux, Windows and macOS already, and users have tested it on other
platforms too. Since novelWriter is still under development, it is easier to run it if you are
already familiar with how to run Python applications on your platform.
