The novx file format

.novx files are XML files that can be read and edited with any text editor that reads and writes utf-8 encoded plain text.

If you put a style sheet named novx.css into the current project folder, you can view the .novx project file with a web browser. Depending on your web browser and your operating system, the content type resp. MIME type of .novx files must be registered as “text/xml”.

The XML structure and elements of novx files are described by the novx Document Type Definition (DTD).

In addition, descriptions of the elements and their attributes are provided below.
