Front and Back Matter
|
||||
*********************
|
||||
|
||||
Front and back matter documents are documents that go before and after your main story text. They
|
||||
can include pages like your cover page, content tables, prologues, epilogues, etc. These special
|
||||
pages and sections are supported to some extent by novelWriter.

||||

||||

|
||||
The Title Page
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
It is recommended that you add a document at the very top of each **Novel** root folder with the
|
||||
novel title in it. You should modify the level 1 heading format code with an ``!`` in order to
|
||||
render it as a document title that is excluded from any automatic Table of Content in a manuscript
|
||||
build document.
|
||||
|
||||
You can also add the author name and address above this if this is required by the manuscript
|
||||
format you use, and additional space added before the title.
|
||||
|
||||
:bdg-info:`Example`
|
||||
|
||||
This is the title page novelWriter generates automatically for a new project as of version 2.6:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: md
|
||||
|
||||
Jane Doe[br]
|
||||
Address Line 1[br]
|
||||
Address Line 2 <<
|
||||
|
||||
[vspace:5]
|
||||
|
||||
#! My Novel
|
||||
|
||||
>> **By Jane Doe** <<
|
||||
|
||||
>> Word Count: [field:textWords] <<
|
||||
|
||||
The title is by default centred on the page. You can add more text to the page as you wish, like
|
||||
for instance the author's name and details.

||||

||||

|
||||
Additional Pages
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
If you want an additional page of text after the title page, starting on a fresh page, you can add
|
||||
``[new page]`` on a line by itself, and continue the text after it. This will insert a page break
|
||||
before the text. See :ref:`docs_usage_formatting_breaks` for more details.
|
||||

||||

||||
.. _docs_usage_front_back_matter_unnumbered:
|
||||
|
||||
Unnumbered Chapters
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
If you use the automatic numbering feature for your chapters, but you want to keep some special
|
||||
chapters separate from this, you can add an ``!`` to the level 2 heading formatting code to tell
|
||||
the build tool to skip these chapters when adding numbers.
|
||||
|
||||
Unnumbered chapters are useful for prologue and epilogue chapters, and also for interlude chapters
|
||||
if you use those in your text. There is a separate formatting feature for such chapter titles in
|
||||
the **Manuscript Build** tool. See the :ref:`docs_ui_manuscript` page for more details.
