+
+The \emph{novel} document class is for writers of original fiction, to be
+printed to paper, with particular attention to the requirements of
+the print-on-demand market.
+
+If your work is an E-book, or uses color other than gray, or is
+academic writing, then this document class is not for you. Images
+are supported, but only as they might be used in fiction; so if your
+work is a picture book, this class is not for you.
+
+But if you are writing a detective novel, or science fiction, or a
+collection of short stories, then read on!
+
+\QuickChapter{1. Features}
+
+Throughout, it is assumed that the purpose of your writing is a
+commercially printed book of fiction.
+
+A new \emph{novel} is pre-configured to produce a standard trade book
+size of 5.5in W x 8.5in H, with layout margins that are likely to be
+acceptable to the most widely-used print services. The file now are
+now reading is in this format. But if that is not the size or layout you
+want, then there are commands that configure just about anything,
+using standard terminology and understandable purpose. Best of
+all, the HTML documentation comes with images and examples, so
+you know what you are doing.
+
+Almost everything is pre-configured to “just work,” even the
+choice of fonts. The chosen compiler is LuaLaTeX, and Open Type
+fonts are loaded using fontspec technology. If you prefer to use
+a professional font, it will be easy to load and use in utf-8.
+
+Many standard LaTeX commands are disabled. This will be surprising
+at first. But \emph{novel} is focused on one thing only. Anything
+that might interfere with that purpose may have been tossed aside.
+So, be sure that you read the documentation! If you take an existing
+LaTeX document and just change the class to \emph{novel,} it is very
+unlikely to work as expected.
+
+Many new commands are provided. They are focused on the
+needs of print fiction writers, period. And, \emph{novel} has built-in PDF/X
+technology that exceeds the capabilities currently available via other
+LaTeX packages.
+
+\QuickChapter{2. Complete Documentation}
+
+What you are reading now, is only an introduction. The complete
+documentation is in HTML format, directly written
+in HTML rather than extracted from code. There are numerous
+examples and images, too detailed to be presented as PDF.
+
+\QuickChapter{3. Project Page}
+
+The novel code is hosted by GitHub:
+
+{\centering https://github.com/RobtAll/novel\par}
+
+There, you will find a complete novel (public domain text) in its
+source code and finished print-ready PDF. There may also be extras
+that are not part of the LaTeX code.
+
+A predecessor of this document class has actually been used for
+a commercially marketed print-on-demand novel.
+
+\QuickChapter{4. License}
+
+The LaTeX code, and accompanying documentation, is released
+under the LateX Project Public License, version 1.3c or later.
+
+The companion font \emph{NovelDeco.otf} is licensed under the SIL
+Open Font License, version 1.1.
+
+\QuickChapter{5. Version}
+
+The initial CTAN version was released February 28, 2017.
+Users should upgrade to the latest via their TeX package manager.
+
+\QuickChapter{6. Contact}
+
+If you find any bugs, and have a GitHub account, please raise an
+issue on the project page.
+
+Otherwise, the author’s e-mail address
+is shown near the top of the \emph{novel.cls} file, located in (your TeX
+distro)/tex/lualatex/novel.

+\begin{adjustwidth}{\parindent}{0pt}
+\backindent\makebox[\parindent][l]{Q. }Can this document class be used for E-books?
+\end{adjustwidth}
+\begin{adjustwidth}{\parindent}{0pt}
+\backindent\makebox[\parindent][l]{A. }No. And, that feature will never be added, as the technology
+is inherently incompatible.
+\end{adjustwidth}

+\backindent\makebox[\parindent][l]{Q. }My thesis advisor told me---
+\end{adjustwidth}
+\begin{adjustwidth}{\parindent}{0pt}
+\backindent\makebox[\parindent][l]{A. }Stop right there. This document class is very different from
+anything used for theses and other academic publications.

+\begin{adjustwidth}{\parindent}{0pt}
+\backindent\makebox[\parindent][l]{Q. }When I woke up this morning, my head felt like a toddler had
+been pounding it in a sandbox. I rolled over and look at the mug shot
+on the wall. It was a woman in her forties with a drug habit that
+was bad, and an attitude that was even worse. She had seen better
+days, like the time I took her to the eighth grade sock hop. Then I
+got up, washed, and dragged my lonely butt down to the one-man
+detective agency that I jokingly called my means of living.
+You know what I mean?
+\end{adjustwidth}
+\begin{adjustwidth}{\parindent}{0pt}
+\backindent\makebox[\parindent][l]{A. }Yeah. Stick with me, kid. This document class is for you.
