Cheese Paper 能够帮你整理写作内容，将笔记与正文保存在一起，并同步你的项目文件。Cheese Paper 是一款专为写作（尤其是小说创作）而设计的文本编辑器。无论是故事本身还是关于角色的笔记，Cheese Paper 的文件格式都非常简洁且支持同步，因此无论你使用什么设备，都可以随时创建、编辑、移动或删除内容。Cheese Paper 以极简的文件格式将笔记和其他信息直接存储在每个场景文件中。生成的文件可以在任何文本编辑器中打开，包括手机端。即使在编辑器运行的同时，在外部对文件进行修改也不会导致任何问题。

See your notes as you write

写作时查看笔记

Cheese Paper keeps your notes visible as you’re writing the scene. This can be used to jot down something for later, to plan out where a scene will go before writing, or to summarize a scene after you’ve written it to get a better high level overview of your story.

Cheese Paper 让你在撰写场景时能够随时查看笔记。你可以利用这一功能记录稍后要用的灵感、在动笔前规划场景走向，或者在写完后总结场景，从而更好地从宏观角度把握故事脉络。

Pairing with other programs

与其他程序协作

The underlying text in Cheese Paper is Markdown, which is still readable as plain text. Summaries and notes are added in a TOML header, also relatively simple to edit. Any files created outside the editor are automatically read in and processed like any other files, even if some or all of the metadata is missing. Even when editing files by hand, you can just fill in the parts that you care about, and let Cheese Paper handle the rest. See the file format section in the manual for more information on this.

Cheese Paper 的底层文本格式为 Markdown，依然可以作为纯文本阅读。摘要和笔记添加在 TOML 头部，编辑起来也相对简单。任何在编辑器外部创建的文件都会被自动读取并像其他文件一样处理，即使部分或全部元数据缺失也不受影响。即使手动编辑文件，你也只需填写你关心的部分，剩下的交给 Cheese Paper 处理即可。更多信息请参阅手册中的文件格式章节。

Cheese Paper also plays nicely with syncing programs - if you sync project files that are saved on your computer, Cheese Paper will automatically load your changes while it’s still running. This includes operations including creating new files, editing existing files, moving files around, and deleting files.

Cheese Paper 与同步程序兼容性良好——如果你同步了电脑上保存的项目文件，Cheese Paper 会在运行过程中自动加载你的更改。这包括创建新文件、编辑现有文件、移动文件以及删除文件等操作。

Stay in control of your data

掌控你的数据

Cheese Paper is not an online service that will sell your data or start charging you a monthly fee for important features. Cheese Paper itself is a purely offline program, so your files never have to leave your computer (except for backups, hopefully). If you want to use Cheese Paper on multiple computers, you will need to sync the files yourself with something like Syncthing, Nextcloud, Google Drive, or Dropbox.

Cheese Paper 不是那种会出售你的数据或对重要功能收取月费的在线服务。Cheese Paper 本身是一款纯离线程序，因此你的文件永远不必离开你的电脑（当然，备份除外）。如果你想在多台电脑上使用 Cheese Paper，你需要使用 Syncthing、Nextcloud、Google Drive 或 Dropbox 等工具自行同步文件。

Characters

角色

Character files are a handy place to fill out some information about who is in your story. It’s easy to reference whatever notes or information you’ve written down without leaving the editor.

角色文件是一个方便的地方，可以用来填写故事中人物的相关信息。你无需离开编辑器，就能轻松查阅你写下的任何笔记或信息。

Worldbuilding

世界观构建

This is almost the same as characters, but for information about the world. This can be places, real or fictional, and as specific as desired. This could also be about organizations or magic systems in your world, if the plot/setting calls for that.

这与角色功能几乎相同，但用于存储关于世界观的信息。它可以是真实或虚构的地点，详细程度不限。如果剧情或设定需要，也可以包含你世界中的组织或魔法系统。

Outline Export

大纲导出

Cheese Paper projects split their contents over a lot of different files. This is wonderful for when you’re trying to navigate around a larger project, especially outside of the editor, but makes it annoying to share a high level summary with someone else, particularly if that person is not lucky enough to also be using Cheese Paper. In this case, you can export a single file that contains all of the notes, summaries, and whatever other information you’ve included, which can be shared with whoever you want.

Cheese Paper 项目将内容分散在许多不同的文件中。这对于在大型项目中进行导航（尤其是在编辑器外部）非常棒，但如果想与他人分享宏观摘要，尤其是对方没有使用 Cheese Paper 时，就会比较麻烦。在这种情况下，你可以导出一个包含所有笔记、摘要以及你所包含的其他信息的单一文件，并将其分享给任何你想分享的人。

Story Export

故事导出

Cheese Paper combines all of the scenes (that have not explicitly been excluded) into a single file in the outline process. This produces a markdown file, which is then easily transformed into any file format you might desire. Pandoc has a fantastic online tool here, which lets you convert your project to convert markdown to an epub, docx, html, or pdf. (Side note: if you are distributing a book, please consider not just using PDFs. PDFs can be difficult for readers who need larger font sizes, particularly on smaller devices like phones).

在导出大纲的过程中，Cheese Paper 会将所有（未明确排除的）场景合并为一个文件。这会生成一个 Markdown 文件，随后可以轻松转换为你想要的任何文件格式。Pandoc 提供了一个非常棒的在线工具，可以将你的 Markdown 项目转换为 epub、docx、html 或 pdf。（注：如果你要发布书籍，请考虑不要只使用 PDF。对于需要更大字体的读者，尤其是在手机等小型设备上，PDF 的阅读体验可能较差。）

Themes

主题

Cheese Paper comes with both a dark and light theme out of the box, and custom themes can change nearly every color used. Is the text too readable? Colors too pleasant? Not enough whimsy? Cheese Paper has a solution: a button that randomizes every single color used in the theme. There is no coordination, no consistency, and no concern for contrast. If you restart Cheese Paper with this option selected, it will helpfully generate a new random theme. You can also save your randomized theme if you somehow generate one that looks somewhat okay. My roommate suggested the random theme button, then was horrified to find me actually using it while editing a story.

Cheese Paper 开箱即用，自带深色和浅色主题，自定义主题几乎可以更改所使用的每一种颜色。觉得文字太清晰了？颜色太悦目了？不够古怪？Cheese Paper 有个解决方案：一个可以随机化主题中所有颜色的按钮。它没有任何协调性、一致性，也不考虑对比度。如果你在选中此选项的情况下重启 Cheese Paper，它会贴心地为你生成一个新的随机主题。如果你偶然生成了一个看起来还不错的主题，也可以将其保存下来。我的室友建议添加这个随机主题按钮，结果当我真的在编辑故事时使用它时，他感到非常震惊。
