# Open data format
MarkMyWords does NOT use databases or proprietary file formats to store documents. All documents created with MarkMyWords are saved as plain text files by default and can therefore be used independently of any program or platform. MarkMyWords also offers the option of saving documents using the open Textbundle format.

# Live preview
The live preview shows the written text in its formatted state. One of the supplied CSS styles can be used for display or a custom CSS style can be used. It is also possible to display CriticMarkup formatting.
# Text clips
By using text clips, MarkMyWords offers a function for writing articles with repetitive text structures even faster.
You can create text clips yourself and insert them into a document at any time.
In addition, keywords can be defined for text clips which, together with the Tab key, can automatically insert the desired text clip.
# Sidebar
The sidebar offers extensive tools that can be helpful when creating texts:
* quick access to documents
* Access to the Textclip collection
* Overview of all headlines in the document
* Access to the document's attachments
* Extensive information about the document
# Distraction-free mode
Distraction-free mode hides all elements, allowing you to concentrate fully on the actual text. Alike the normal editor, various options for customization are also available within the distraction-free mode.

What’s New
Version 2.11.0
# New:
- Illusion Format: This feature for the main editor can be activated in the MarkMyWords preferences under Editor > Highlight. This feature causes the most important and most frequently used markups to be displayed directly in the editor. This feature is available for all markup languages except HTML. Comprehensive information on this feature can be found in the MarkMyWords help.
- Syntax highlighting: Syntax highlighting has been completely reworked and replaces the old system. In addition to improved and extended recognition of markups, the new highlighting also works better with the set editor options so that the layout no longer gets out of shape.
# Bug fixes:
- Fixes a potential crash of the app when running MultiMarkdown if certain conditions are met
- Fixes a bug that caused MarkMyWords to crash when certain preference combinations related to line numbering were used
- Addresses a display error in the editor in newer macOS versions that causes “ghost text” to appear at the bottom under certain conditions
# Internal markup parser

Ratings and Reviews
This developer “gets it”!
Open standards. Open formats. Keep It Simple Sam. I have every one of this developers’ products and couldn’t be happier.
I sync all my notes on my Synology DiskStation. I don’t use “the cloud”. Everything works flawlessly. Plus, I have the peace of mind knowing that all my data is in an easy to migrate format (markdown usually) and not housed in some proprietary database “locking me in” to a specific Company or software package.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! (Danke schön!)
Solid, clean, powerful
For me, MarkMyWord has a wide range of features in a classic, comfortable interface. I agree with SciFiFanGA: “Open standards. Open formats. Keep It Simple Sam”. The ease of customization of the output is particularly welcome.
Useful but needs work
This is a decent tool that have some potential. The php textile parser is a little laggy at times. I would say the UI needs a LOT of work and the icon is horrific. Not to mention the name…just bad…sorry just being honest. It would not hurt the developer of this app to try out iA Writer to get some ideas. The features however get the job done. A good companion if you do a lot of work in basecamp with writeboads. This is the only tool I have found thus far for creating templates written using the textile syntax.
