The markup format you've been wanting all along!

READ WRITE NOTE

READ WRITE NOTE is for authors who want to capture important thoughts in a plain-text file format.

Use cases

With RWNOTE, writers who take their work seriously can compose documents in a distraction-free environment, where concentrating on the words rather than the formatting, gives the final composition its greatest impact.

With RWNOTE, formatting is applied directly to the manuscript using BLUEPHRASE notation, a type of inline markup that is both familiar and easy on the eyes.

RWNOTE is well suited to anyone who has passing familiarity with Wikitext or Markdown.

RWNOTE is a no-brainer for anyone who knows HTML or CSS!

Features

RWNOTE is equally capable of understanding both BLUEPHRASE notation and unadorned text, making it easy to transition from rough outline to polished printout.

Formatting marks for emphasis and styling can be added without slowing down your typing or obscuring your words.

RWNOTE has all the essential features you need:

  • Formatting for bold, italics, underline, and many more, all with inline notation.
  • Bulleted and numbered lists can be created with the use of simple curly-brace notation.
  • Tabular data can be added using nested curly-brace notation.
  • Styling for headings, sections, paragraphs and other portions of your writing can be changed with CSS.
