MultiMarkdown Composer 4 App Recensioni

A joy to use...

I love using the editor, and I truly hope the development of this editor continues to move forward. I find it to be a writer's delight! Whenever I need to pull up an editor and write, Composer is my first choice.

Nice but...

This is a good editor for multimarkdown, but the preview pane is weird. When first starting a new document the text is centered vertically. The preview pane scrolls more than it should for the amount of content being displayed. It ruins the overall feel of the app.

Great Product

Editor is good enough that it actually made me want to write a review. I needed something to rewrite some code on my companies website and this was the perfect thing since it gives you the option of copying it has the raw HTML.

Amazing

Very glad I found MMC4. It’s flexible and beautiful. The outlining feature does it for me… so glad to have found a platform to track my writing structure so seamlessly. Love it!

Best Markdown Editor

I’ve used almost every notable markdown editor of text based files, and this is my favorite. Of note, the TOC screen is amazingly handy, the ability to customize the look of both the editor and preview windows is really nice, and easily being able to move lines up and down via keyboard shortcuts. I’m sure I’m missing many other things I like. Also, great customer support. I highly recommend!

Excellent for Markdown

Great editor that keeps getting better. Development is on track and exciting new features keep coming along.

It got Seriouly Better this release

I have been using this through the beta releases. It has really settled down. It is the only markdown editor I use on the Macbook Pro!

My writing home

I can't recommend MultiMarkdown Composer enough. I know there are flashier & trendier markdown apps out there. I know this because I own all of them (including the comically expensive ones and the SaaS ones). The thing is, even though I have access to whatever writing app I want to use, MMDC is the app I always (sorry, I meant **ALWAYS**) come back to once I spend some time with any other app. And I've been coming back since the very first version of Composer back in 2010 or whenever it was released. Honestly, I should just stop buying other writing apps because I know, pretty much without doubt, I'll be back to MMDC. But whatever, that's my issue. "Why is MMDC worth my time?" is the question I'm guessing you're more interested in. For me, it's because every aspect of the writing experience is implemented properly. Bold/italic work exactly as you would expect them to. There's no friction like you get in other apps. It's super lightweight. It has every feature I need (off the top of my head: typewriter mode, table of contents navigation, CriticMarkup, auto capitalization of headlines, fully customizable themes, smart pairs, paste-over linking, syntax highlighting, etc etc) and stuff I don't use much, but appreciate (line and ¶ numbering, solid markdown previewer). MMDC really gets into your head. Once you've used it for a period of time, you'll find yourself cursing literally every other text editor you're forced to use when you try to do stuff only MMDC does. Smart pairs and paste-over linking are two really obvious ones for me, but there are a number of other ones as well. I dunno… for me this app really just feels like my "writing home." What's more, Fletcher (the dev and also the guy who created MultiMarkdown) has made the app free with IAP, which leaves you absolutely no reason not to download it and give it a shot. Oh, and I'd like to mention one more thing: IMO, it's worth spending a bit of time tweaking a theme to suit your preferences. One of the default themes (I think maybe solarized… or maybe all of them now) is fully commented so it's easy to figure out what does what and get things looking exactly like you want. Time for me to end this WoT and for you to do yourself a favor and download this app and get to writing.

Years of use

Many years ago, I abandoned all forms of proprietary file formats for my daily use. About that time, I discovered this editor. Every text file I create is done first in MultiMarkdown Composer. I preview with Marked, and export to PDF, HTML, or even Word (gasp!) for those that insist. I bought and upgraded to this version without a hesitation. I’m with Mr. Penney for the long-haul. Thanks for a useful and fully supported package.

Excellent Markdown Tool

I use this for all my Markdown writing. Lots of great features and no problems. I use it to write for the web, to compose internal documents for my department (which I render as PDFs), and to generate text for training/educational EPUBs. Great tool.

Essential writing tool for scientists and others

I am a radiology professor and write research papers as part of my living. I also write a lot of non-medical text as part of my hobbies (folk music, folk dance, fiddle music, etc) and activities on various non-profit boards). Virtually all of my writing for all of my projects starts out in Markdown, which means Multimarkdown Composer most of the time. The instant preview of my work is essential. The ability to mix images, tables, equations and references is also essential to me. I am a bit of an alpha geek, so there are times when MMC doesn’t do what I need. When I need to do a lot of custom formatting, I use BBEdit with grep. When I need to mix my text with statistical analyses and graphics, I write in RStudio with RMarkdown. When my work requires scientific computations in SciPy or NumPy, I turn write in Markdown in a Project Jupyter notebook. However, the bulk of my writing is handled quite nicely by MMC. Once my main writing is done in MMC, MMC does an awesome job of exporting my work to HTML, LaTeX, Scivener or (ack, ptui) Word as needed. I also appreciate the efforts Dr. Penney has made to have MMC work with Critic Markdown and Marked2. MMC is the premier Markdown tool I recommend to friends and colleagues who ask for my advice on writing tools.

Go-to editor that just gets better!

I’ve used MultiMarkdown Composer for going on 6 years and it has become my primary writing tool for ALL uses - documents, client call notes, planning. The ability to create documents in MultiMarkDown and see the rendered HTML output in real time is powerful and efficient. I can copy as HTML and paste into our corporate collaboration tool as HTML and retain all of the formatting, saving me significant time and ensuring my content is communicated in the way I want. On the rare occasions I’ve had questions or (largely perceived) issues, the developer has always been timely and knowledgable in responding. Great tool, great team.

Best for Multimarkdown

It is not yet the 'perfect' markdown editor, but it is going in the right direction and as close as they come. I can say that having tried almost every other such program on the market. In terms of room for improvement, the template system for both the editor experience and the HTML presentaton should be primarily CSS instead of the anomalous, one-off JSON format that makes customization unnecessarily difficult, but other than that and some rough patches during previous development, I am faithful to this great editor. To address some of those shortcomings I recommending pairing this with another app called "Marked". The two together are critical to the way I craft and leverage markdown. The result is that I truly enjoy writing and especially the almost instant capacity to turn plain text into a beautiful PDF, HTML or any of a number of other formats. I don't often write reviews, but given how much I have benefitted from this program I felt compelled to give it a shout, and endorse it wholeheartedly.

Great Editor

There are three things to love about this program. One is that it is a great text editor: fast, clean and customisable. The second is that the underlying language, MultiMarkdown, is both intuitive and powerful. I’ve written letters, web pages, essays and even a book manuscript in it, and it works wonderfully. And third, it is being continually improved, and the author is very responsive to feedback. I’m very happy to be using it.

My Main Text Editor

MultiMarkdown Composer has been my main text editor for a couple of years now and version 4 is fantastic. It does just enough automatically to make writing in Markdown a joy without getting in the way. Combined with a developer that is very responsive and an active user community, this is without a doubt the best Markdown editor I have used.
