<h1>Supporting Files (Notes)<a class="headerlink" href="#supporting-files-notes" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
|
|
<p>Supporting files, or notes, are any files stored in root folders that are not the Novel root folder.
|
|
These files are intended for summaries and outlines of the various plot elements, characters, locations, and so on, of the novel.
|
|
These are not required, but making at least minimal files for each such element, and add a tag to them, makes it possible to use the Outline View feature to see how each element intersects with each section of the novel itself, and add clickable cross-references between document in the editor and viewer.</p>
|
|
<div class="section" id="file-tags">
|
|
<h2>File Tags<a class="headerlink" href="#file-tags" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>Each note file can have a tag associated with it,
|
|
The format of a tag is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">@tag:</span> <span class="pre">tagname</span></code>, where tagname is a unique identifier.
|
|
Tags can then be referenced in the novel files and will show up in the Outline View.</p>
|
|
<p>The syntax highlighter will alert the user that the keyword is correctly used and that the tag is allowed, that is, the tag is unique.
|
|
Duplicate tags should be detected as long as the index is up to date.</p>
|
|
<p>The tag is the only part of these files that the application uses.
|
|
The rest of the file is there for the writer to use in whatever way they wish.</p>
|
|
<p>A note file can also reference other note files in the same way novel files do.
|
|
When the note file is opened in the view pane, these become clickable links, making it easier to follow connections in the plot.</p>
