Advanced topics
NovelForge can be an incredibly powerful tool, thanks to it’s customized dictionaries, advanced word editing and web crawling
The topics below are way beyond what would a normal user need and are intended for advanced users (aka language geeks).
NovelForge works on the idea that you don’t have to use all the functionality and many things could be done different way.
There are many ways to create a dictionary.
The simple way is to load a book into the Thesaurus AI Synthetizer and that’s it, let the little man behind the curtain do his bidding.
A more advanced way would be using CSV document to have full control over the words you are creating.
This topic talks about using Wordsheet to manipulate words from which we can build a reversed Shakespearean dictionary.
Dictionaries could be huge, 50 thousand entries for head-words are not that much and each can have 30 or 50 entry words. We are talking
well over a few millions words.
Trying to create cross-references by Web Crawling would probably take a year.
Using index you can limit the working dictionary to a certain list of words, ones you are actually interested in. The index could be a book
for example.
We can continue refining our dictionary using very targeted approach.
Smart Tags aren’t just for show. They’re incredibly useful for organizing your project. Adding relevant tags to your chapters makes them
easy to find later. It may seem trivial at first, but as your project grows, remembering where specific events happened can become a real
challenge, especially after you start swapping chapters around and rewriting for the 10th time. No stones will be left unturned.
You can add tags like Names, Places, or any other relevant info (romance, fight, etc.). You can even use tags to add editing notes for
yourself, ensuring you never forget what needs to be done.
