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.
