.SH DESCRIPTION
Manuskript is an open source tool for writers. It provides a rich environment

their masterpiece.

Manuskript is still in development, and in need of extensive testing. If you
consider using it for serious work,

.SH FEATURES

all the tools for fiction writers (summary, characters, plot,
world/context, etc.), and one “simple” mode, with only the writing tab.

\fBOutliner\fR
You can organize your thoughts and snippets in a hierarchical
manner. Organize them as you wish, reorganize them on the go.

writing or lock yourself until you’ve reached a certain goal.
