This is an old revision of the document!
The LostPlot Writer dialog is the main way in which authors write the final content of their story development. The Writer is a streamlined word-processor based around the MarkDown and Fountain markup languages, which means that the text that an author writes is always in a 'raw' text format, yet contains meaningful formatting codes where necessary which can either be translated into a true formatted Document form, or simply understood in their unmodified raw-text format without (for the most part) appearing out of place.
For much of the content written by an author, the functionality of a comprehensive word processor package is redundant. Word processors are intended for the production of formatted documentation, while the majority of documents written by authors are of a 'raw text' form, to be formatted into a final document at a later stage by others (or in the case of LostPlot, but the MarkDown and Fountain intepreter utilised by the Document pane).
