( ) says this about mountains: I don’t honestly have a thing for mountains but I had to come up with something so here’s some example text to see how it renders on Typora. Despite this minimalism it has pretty much all the features you need.Īssumedly you’re already familiar with with Markdown so I probably don’t need to go that deep into the syntax. If you’re working on a single file then this will allow you to fully concentrate on that single piece of text. There is just the writing area and nothing distracting on the window itself. When you start the editor up it is truly minimal. This is also great if you are using more than one computer with different OS’es like me.
#TYPORA APP SOFTWARE#
The software is available for Windows, macOS and Linux so no matter what OS you’re using there is a version for you. The open source alternative Mark Text has seen some improvements to its image handling but it still doesn’t handle relative images like Typora. It’s still the only Markdown editor that works with my blogging workflow so I was happy to pay the license cost.
#TYPORA APP UPDATE#
Update 1: Typora is now paid software and costs $14.99 without tax. Personally, I’d be happy to support the development if they end up going with a one time payment model instead of a subscription. There is no information on when the beta phase will end though so be prepared to pay sometime in the future. Right now the software is in free beta which means that you can use it for free. Similarly having italic or bold text just shows the final result without displaying the asterisks. If I add a new heading with a bunch of # characters it will actually look like a heading. So what does Typora exactly do then that pleases my eye so much? It is an inline WYSIWYG editor for Markdown that renders the content as I’m typing it. Markdown is not so difficult to read on its own but still reading and editing properly formatted text à la Microsoft Word is just that much more satisfying. Therefore it’s quite important for my sanity to make the process as painless as possible.

So, because of my chosen blogging technology I’m spending quite some time writing content in Markdown. I’ve actually written a whole series of blog posts on starting a blog with Hugo, check out my latest tutorial if you’re interested in learning more about starting a static blog.
#TYPORA APP GENERATOR#
I’ve built this website with a static site generator called Hugo which basically eats content files as Markdown and spits out a bunch of HTML files that can easily be hosted on the Internet. I want to start with a little bit of background. With that out of the way let’s continue on with the why. Typora is my favorite Markdown editor, period. The title might already give away my opinion on Typora so let me start by saying it again.
