Calligra Author helps you develop your eBook document from concept to completion |
Why "Author", when we already have "Words"?
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
- The planned outliner is in early stages, not yet ready for release. A big feature, so it may take a little time to complete. It is hoped that it will be completed for version 2.9 (2.10 at the latest).
- The next release, 2.8, is expected to include a Navigation docker, making all headings and bookmarks easy to reach.
Writing
- Word-count in the status bar

- Distraction free mode

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 EPUB2, the standard used in many publishing houses, and MOBI, the format used for Amazon Kindle devices.
Future developments
![Some planned scene separators](/images.userbase/thumb/f/f1/Separators.png/75px-Separators.png)
Planned developments include:
- Export to EPUB3 (already progressing)
- A navigation docker
- A range of section separators
- Autocompletion
- Wiki export and import
- Import of styles from an existing document.
To learn more of these plans, read [Calligra Author - The Next Step]

Tip
Most of the functionality of Author is, or soon will be, available within Words, although less prominently.
