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 in Python 3 (3.6+) using Qt5 and PyQt5 (5.3+). 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.
