That is, names which uniquely define a single entity (Jupiter, Peter Jackson or similar), as opposed to common nouns which describe a class (tree, chair or similar). For more reading on the topic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proper_noun :) (and yes, i'm now aware this should be called Proper names definition and insertion assistant, rather than Proper nouns...)</ins></div></td></tr>

<p><b>New page</b></p><div>As an author, in particular of stories and novels, one has to keep track of numerous characters or locations while writing, and the ability to handle such a thing would be quite useful. Such an idea would be approachable from a number of angles, and so, a number of workflows can be described like so:<br />
<br />
* Inserting a name into the document of a noun which is not currently defined<br />
* Inserting a name of a previously defined noun into the document<br />
* Inserting a pseudonym of a previously defined noun into the document<br />
* Defining a noun without inserting it into the document<br />
* Inserting a list of descriptions of a noun into the document<br />
* Inserting the description of a single noun into the document<br />
<br />
What's implied here is a few features, which we can then describe as follows:<br />
<br />
* A dialog or panel which allows an author to manage (add, edit, delete) all existing definitions in a document<br />
* A set of menu items:<br />
** Insert a pre-existing noun<br />
** Add a new definition<br />
** Add a pseudonym for an existing noun<br />
* An in-line assistant used to insert a noun while typing.<br />
<br />
Invoke the assistant by pressing ctrl+space (default) while typing. Pops up a menu with a set of proposed nouns based on the current word, and options to add a new noun or pseudonym for another noun and insert it at the cursor position (by default using the current word, but allowing editing).</div>Leinir
