Technical Overview
|
|
******************
|
|
|
|
|
|
novelWriter is built as a cross-platform application using `Python 3 <https://www.python.org/>`_ as
|
|
the programming language, and `Qt 5 <https://www.qt.io/>`_ framework for the user interface.
|
|
|
|
novelWriter is built for Linux first, so this is where it works best. However, it also runs fine
|
|
on Windows and MacOS due to the cross-platform framework it's built on. The author of the
|
|
application doesn't own a Mac, so on-going Mac support is dependent on user feedback and user
|
|
contributions.
|
|
|
|
Spell checking in novelWriter is provided by a third party library called
|
|
`Enchant <https://abiword.github.io/enchant/>`_. Please see the section on :ref:`a_custom_dict` for
|
|
how to install spell checking languages.
|
|
|
|
For install instructions for novelWriter, see :ref:`a_started`.
