# novelWriter ChangeLog

## Version 0.1 [2019-XX-XX]

This is the initial release of a working version of novelWriter, but with very limited capabilities. So far, the following has been implemented:

* A document tree with a set of pre-defined root folders of a given sett of classes for different purposes for novel writing. That is, a root item for the novel itself, one for charcaters, plot elements, timeline, locations, objects, and a custom one.
* A plain text editor with a simplified markdown format that allows for four levels of titles, and bold, italics and underline text.
  * In addition, the format supports comments with lines starting with a `%`.
  * It also allows for keyword/value sets staring with the character `@`. These will later be used to link documents together as tags point to other documents. For instance, a scene file can point the keyword `@POV:name` to a character file with the keyword `@THIS:name`.
* The text editor has a set of autoreplace features:
  * Dashes are made by combining two or three hyphens.
  * Three dots are replaced with the ellipsis.
  * Straight quotes with your quote format of choice.
* The text editor also allows for wrapping either selected text, or the word under the cursor, in:
  * Bold, italics, or underline tags.
  * Single, or double quotes.
