PanWriter is a distraction-free markdown editor with two unique features:
- Tight integration with pandoc for import/export to/from plenty of file formats (including HTML, docx, LaTeX and EPUB).
- Preview pane that can show pages – including page breaks etc. Layout adjustments are immediately reflected in the preview.
Read the MANUAL for more info.
You also have to install pandoc to export to most formats.
Feedback, suggestions and contributions very much welcome! Please open an issue to start a conversation.
