Distraction-free authoring and declarative templating

Read Write Doc

READ WRITE DOC is for authors to capture bigger ideas that need to be refined and distributed in a portable format.

Use cases

RWDOC is a great choice for anyone authoring documents for print or PDF.

RWDOC is ideally suited for anyone creating HTML templates and website pages.

Features

RWDOC uses the same BLUEPHRASE notation as RWNOTE and the rest of the Read Write Tools' Author Series, so compositions can be interchangeably used by any app.

RWDOC has the same distraction free environment as RWNOTE with all the authoring features you expect, plus advanced features to keep you organized:

  • Hassle-free PDF creation with no external drivers.
  • Spell-checking with in-document word white lists.
  • Adjustable writing experience with text editor themes to comfortably match your preferences.
  • Classic include notation for organizing portions of long documents.
  • Innovative enclosure notation for sharing common document structures such as headers and footers.
  • Three viewing modes — BLUEPHRASE, Preview and HTML source.
  • Search and replace using regular expression pattern matching.
