Escritora user guide

Everything you need to create, edit and read Markdown files.

Your files

New file — the red button in the sidebar (or press n) asks for a name and opens an empty file.

Import — “Import .md” in the top bar opens files from your computer. You can choose several at once.

Download — the download icon next to the file name saves it as a .md file. Settings lets you download all of them.

Rename — click the file name above the editor and type. .md is added automatically.

Search — the search box looks inside file names and contents.

Three modes

Visual — what you see is what you get. Use the toolbar for headings, bold, lists, checklists, quotes and links.

Markdown — the plain text of the file, for full control over the syntax.

Reading — a clean, read-only view. Links open when clicked.

Choose which mode files open in under Settings.
