Word Processor
I plan to make my own word processor. There will be foure versions.
I've planned the following feautures:
- Support for .txt, .rtf, .sxw, .abw, zabw, .bzabw, .odt, .doc, .html, .htm, .xml, .ott, .dot, .stw, and .abt file extensions.
- Top half of left pane has a tree structure showing headings, scenes, sequences and chapters that can be laid-out under chapter headings (with parts above that) and given their own names that can optionally show-up in the printout. The ability to have alternate headings, scenes, sequences, and chapters for each "piece" of writing. These areas can be linked to from the left pane.
- The ability to distinguish turning-point scenes/sequences from simple story-lines (in bottom half of left pane). Ability to show concurrency of action (when using a convergent story-lines plot) or dependency of action (when using a Hero's Journey or Coming of Age type story-line). These areas can be linked to from the left pane.
- The ability to manipulate the tree-outline of a novel to easily move scenes, sequences or chapters around.
- Real version control for each projects. In a File Browser feature of File Menu you will be able to hover your mouse cursor over a file's name in the directory and see a good paragraph's worth of description/summary about what that file is in terms of the writing in it. The File Browser can be set to show a snippet of the manuscript as well.
- Option to switch left pane to being a right pane.
- Several tools to help create notes.
- Recent documents.
- Favourite documents.
- Tabbed window.
- Work groups.
- Customisable shortcuts to combinations of character settings (up to 10 different ones).
- Spell check.
- Thesaurus.
- Dictionary.
- Gallery.
- Word, letter, character, page, number, paragraph, and section counts.
- Number of book pages estimate (several options for word per page count, including custom ones).
- A calculator that can input data into document.
- User accounts (uses own ones not OS ones
- Updates.
- Extensions.
- Support link.
- Registration link.
- Testing (link).
- Link to official website.
Note: the obvious functions are not listed.
