MWeb provides you the ability to look at the outline of your document and navigate through the various headers in it. Keyboard Maestro macro to toggle dark modeĭocument Outline (⌘7). Again, this switch between Light and Dark Mode doesn't have an assigned keyboard command, and a Keyboard Maestro macro with a typed string makes this easy to access. I find myself using Solarized Light in Light mode and Solarized Dark in Dark Mode. You have the option of assigning a specific theme to each of these options. MWeb implements a Light Mode and a Dark Mode. Learn them and you don't have to use the toolbar at all.ĭark Mode. The good news is that the toolbar commands almost all have keyboard commands assigned to them. Since the command does not have a keyboard command assigned to it, my Keyboard Maestro macro gets a lot of use. I have a Keyboard Maestro macro assigned to a typed string trigger which lets me turn the toolbar on and off. There is an option to hide the toolbar and I seem to be using that all the time. The toolbar is specially distracting in full screen mode. Examples include the support for LaTex, code highlighting and the whole suite of features from GFM. The product features are geared towards people who are comfortable with taking their Markdown based writing beyond the scope of the simple Markdown editor. The icons are useful in that they help you write Markdown, however, the product is not geared towards the novice Markdown writer. This is the most discordant feature of the writing environment. MWeb supports the macOS tabs and they show up at the top of the editing window. On it's right is the list of files in the folder. On the left is the listing of folders that you have added to the External Library. I like having my text files in assigned folders and having them accessible through any text editor I fancy at the moment. I am going to highlight the interface through the External Library, simply because I use that a lot more. The second major difference is that Ulysses only supports a subset of its Markdown syntax for external files. MWeb reads them as plain text files and doesn't change these files unless you specifically edit them. Inline links become reference links if you do not explicitly stop Ulysses from doing stupid things. Ulysses has a tendency to change the external files that you ask it to maintain. There are two big differences between the way external files are maintained by Ulysses and MWeb. This is similar to the External files maintained by Ulysses. These are the collection of plain text files that are residing on your hard drive. External (⌘E) is a collection of files within folders that you ask MWeb to manage.You have access to the plain text files if you want to access them in another program on your iOS devices through any old text editor. The difference is that if you explore the folder that MWeb terms its Library, it will contain a folder of your files in plain text format. This is a SQL library which adds some efficiencies like cross-note linking. Library (⌘L), contains the files you create in MWeb's Library.Like Ulysses, MWeb gives you two different libraries to work in. MWeb has an iOS version, but I have not tested that. It supports features standardized on the macOS like multiple tabs and text expansions (with some caveats). Thus it is fast, stable and intuitive to the Mac user. This makes the product different from both Ulysses which barely supports Markdown and Bear which is struggling to take the product beyond the basic Gruber Markdown. Github-flavored Markdown(GFM) is a full-featured Markdown variant. That means it supports TOC, Table, Fenced code block, LaTex, Task lists, Footnotes, etc. MWeb supports the Github-flavored Markdown variant of the Markdown flavors. I am surprised by the feature set of MWeb and am excited to tell you about it. It is a product which is getting lots of developer love and is steadily being improved giving me another reason to write about it. MWeb does a lot of things well and hasn't gotten the attention it deserves in the marketplace. LightPaper: One App for Your Markdown Needs.I have myself covered a whole host of them: This category is a competitive category in the macOS marketplace. Similar to LightPaper, TextNut - A CommonMark editor for Mac, Bear - Notes for iPhone, iPad and Mac or Ulysses to name a few. It is the usual three-pane Markdown based text editor. It is a deep product which improves on both Ulysses and Bear in some areas and brings some unique skills to the Markdown editor genre. Loren of ldstephens asked for a review of MWeb.
