ONE LOCAL FILE, TWO EDITING MODES

Technical writing without a format detour

  • Switch between block editing and Markdown source editing over the same local file
  • Fall back to source mode when block editing cannot safely handle a document
  • Support tabs, Vim, task lists, tables, code blocks, and Mermaid/PlantUML previews
  • Provide multi-language syntax highlighting, keyword completion, and expandable templates in code blocks
