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.

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.
