| * **__Index Card__** - The Index Card is the individual development unit within **//LostPlot//**. Any index card contains the information for one section of the authored document and includes the section title, summary, environmental details and final authored content which will go towards the final assembled document. The order of Index cards can be moved around in order to plan and develop the overall document. | * **__Index Card__** - The Index Card is the individual development unit within **//LostPlot//**.

| + | * **__Environment__** - The Environment label is shown directly under the __Title__ of an __Index Card__. It is intended, in a screenwriting form, to give a summarised indication of the environment in which this Index Card (if a fiction or narrative document) is taking place. Three components from the Index Card __Details__ are concatenated together to display the Environment label: the Environment (e.g. Interior or Exterior), the Lighting conditions (e.g. Day, Night, Evening etc.) and the actual location. **//LostPlot//** provides standard options for both Environment and Lighting, but all three components may be added to on a per-Project basis for ongoing selections from a standard drop-down menu. | ||

| + | * **__Project__** - The overall term for any document being worked upon, similar in nature to a 'file' in traditional Word Processing. Any project being worked on will contain a series of __Index Cards__ , a configuration, and a set of background references, images etc. Separate projects can be collected into groups within the database for selection and indexing purposes. | ||

| - | * Title | + | * **__Title__** - The Title is a very short caption used at the head of an __Index Card__. It is intended to //very// succinctly sum-up what that card is intended for, regardless of the overall length and detail of either the __Summary__ or __Content__ sections of the card (e.g. Peter lands in Italy). Titles are also used when producing lists of cards (e.g. in __Range__ selection). |

| - | * Workspace | + | * **__Workspace__** - The Workspace is the overall working environment for **//LostPlot//**, and effectively is the overall webpage area displayed within the browser. |
| - | * Writer | + | |
| + | * **__Writer__** - The Writer window is the encapsulated 'word processor' within **//LostPlot//**. It is extremely streamlined and relies upon the browser and operating system for grammar and spell-checking capabilities, where available. The Writer provides basic formatting capabilities (in the form of MarkDown and Fountain embeddable codes), but deliberately does //not// provide WYSIWYG formatting of the final document in the same way as Word Processors and DeskTop Publishing software. The Writer can be configured to utilise different typeface families and sized, but only for the purpose of customising the authoring environment. Several Writer windows can be displayed so as to work on different cards simultaneously, and is limited only by screen space. | ||
