Working with large documents

TextMaker has some very useful functions for writing large documents such as scientific papers or books:

Outlines

Large documents are often organized according to an outline – that is, a hierarchical structure of headings. TextMaker's clear outline view allows you to view and edit a document in outline form. With a click of the mouse, you can change heading levels and move headings (along with the corresponding text).

Tables of references (TOC, index, etc.)

TextMaker can help you create tables of references (table of contents, indices, etc.). The following types are supported:

Indices

Tables of contents

Captions and tables of figures

Bibliographies

Bibliographies with Zotero (insert sources for bibliographies with Zotero)

For more information, see the corresponding subsection.

Cross references

It is also possible to apply cross-references to other text passages, for example, "See explanations on page 12".

Style references

A style reference field searches the document backwards for text in the selected style, and then displays this text. This allows you to display, for example, the current main heading (which is usually formatted in the paragraph style "Heading 1") in the text.

Footnotes and endnotes

Also practical in large documents: You can insert footnotes (at the end of a page) or endnotes (at the end of the document) at any time. These are automatically managed by TextMaker.
