An online Markdown editor is a browser app where you can write and format text and save it in Markdown format.
Why Gramax is easier than other editors
In many Markdown editors you have to type markup symbols and check the result in a side window. Not in Gramax:
Feature | Typical Markdown editor | Gramax |
|---|---|---|
How you write | With symbols: | Plain text, formatting with buttons |
How you see the result | In a side window | Right in the text |
Tables | Drawn with bars and dashes | With a button or pasted from Excel |
Need to learn markup | Yes | No |
What you can do in Gramax
