Writ­ing Con­tent

Most work in Inkwell will take place with­in the con­tent sec­tion. Click on the ap­pro­pri­ate chap­ter or sec­tion from the side list of chap­ters to open and work on it.

Note: In the re­main­der of this chap­ter will re­fer to chap­ters, but the term “sec­tions” found with­in ar­ti­cles is in­ter­change­able.

The mid­dle sec­tion of the screen is an ed­itable area in which you can write your con­tent. It works sim­i­lar­ly to oth­er fa­mil­iar pro­grams like Mi­crosoft Word or Google Docs. Just start writ­ing! The right-hand sec­tion of the screen shows a PDF pre­view of the cur­rent page of your doc­u­ment.

Un­der the PDF pre­view is the word count of the cur­rent chap­ter and the Flesh-Kin­cade Grade lev­el, which gives an es­ti­mate of the read­ing lev­el of the cur­rent chap­ter.

On the left side, there are two icons: Lo­cal Set­tings and Pro­ject Set­tings . Lo­cal Set­tings al­low the user to ad­just the in­di­vid­ual set­tings of what­ev­er is cur­rent­ly se­lect­ed in the ed­i­tor. The avail­able set­tings will change ac­cord­ing to what is se­lect­ed. Pro­ject Set­tings al­lows the con­fig­u­ra­tion of project-wide set­tings.

At the top of the screen, there are Undo: and Redo: but­tons. These al­low un­do­ing and the re­do­ing the most re­cent change.

The Change Case but­ton: Click­ing the but­ton al­lows for a quick case change of the se­lect­ed text. It can be used to quick­ly make a head­ing ti­tle case, or change text to sen­tence case.

Note: The oth­er func­tions in the top menu bar (e.g. Fig­ures, Ta­bles, Foot­notes, and Math, among oth­ers) will be dis­cussed sep­a­rate­ly in oth­er chap­ters.
