== Why "Author", when we already have "Words"? ==
Content pasted into [[Calligra_Author]] - awaiting decision on screenshots
 
'''Words is''' a multi-purpose tool, but authors tell us that writing a novel  or textbooks needs some specialised tools.  '''Author''' is designed to meet those specialised needs.
 
=== Planning ===
 
 
=== Writing ===
 
* Word-count in the status bar  # include statistics-in-statusbar.png ?
[[Image:statistics-in-statusbar.png|center|thumb|350px]]
<s>In order to create a ''distraction-free mode'' we are able to disable most UI elements letting the user focus totally on the contents.</s>
* Distraction free mode
[[Image:leinir-dfm-mode.jpg|center|thumb|350px|| Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen writes distraction-free]]
 
=== Reviewing ===
 
* Annotations (Notes)  - you can select passages and add annotations.  Editors and reviewers can add comments to the annotations.
* Export to DOCX format is available.
 
== Publishing ==
 
Export concentrates on EPUB{{smaller|2}}, the standard used in many publishing houses, and MOBI, the format used for Amazon Kindle devices.
 
== Future developments ==
 
Planned developments include:
 
* Export to EPUB{{smaller|3}} (already progressing)
* A navigation docker
* A range of section separators
* Autocompletion
* Wiki export and import
* Import of styles from an existing document.
