From: "Veronica K. B. Olsen" novelWriter is a simple multi-document plain text editor using a modified markdown syntax to
+ apply simple formatting. Additional features are available through special meta data
+ commands. These make it possible to generate an overview of the entire novel project and how
+ the various files are interconnected. The user interface is intended to be as minimalistic as practically possible, and most
+ features are accessible through the menu and through keyboard shortcuts. The colour scheme
+ of the user interface can be modified with various themes, and new themes are fairly
+ straight forward to add. They are separated into gui and syntax themes, and can be found in
+ the themes folder in the source code. The tree view has various sections for the various types of supporting files that the User
+ may want to add to the project. The novel itself lives under its own root folder, and export
+ features are in the process of being added. These will include HTML, open document and PDF
+ via LaTeX.
