novelWriter is a plain text editor designed for writing novels assembled from many smaller text
|
|
documents. It uses a minimal formatting syntax inspired by Markdown, and adds a meta data syntax
|
|
for comments, synopsis, and cross-referencing. It's designed to be a simple text editor that allows
|
|
for easy organisation of text and notes, using human readable text files as storage for robustness.
|
|
|
|
The project storage is suitable for version control software, and also well suited for file
|
|
synchronisation tools. All text is saved as plain text files with a meta data header, the core
|
|
project structure is stored in a single project XML file, and other meta data is primarily saved as
|
|
JSON files.
|
|
|
|
The application is written with Python 3 using Qt6 and PyQt6. It is developed on Linux, but should
|
|
in principle work fine on other operating systems as well as long as dependencies are met. It is
|
|
regularly tested on Debian and Ubuntu Linux, Windows, and MacOS.
