Exporting
Open the Export menu in the top bar, or use the File and Export submenu, and pick a format. Markappoly exports whichever document you're currently looking at.
- Text (.txt) saves the raw Markdown source as a plain text file.
- HTML (.html) renders the document to a self-contained, styled web page you can open in any browser. The styling is baked into the file, so it stands on its own.
- JSON (.json) writes the document's syntax tree (its mdast representation) as formatted JSON. This is handy when you want to process the structure in another tool.
- Word (.docx) produces a Microsoft Word document. Markappoly asks where to save it.
- PDF goes through your system print dialog. The app switches to preview and opens Print, where you choose "Save as PDF" (or print on paper). The PDF then matches what you see on screen.
For every format except PDF, Markappoly suggests a file name based on the open document and lets you choose where it lands.
The Edit menu has a Copy as HTML item. It copies the rendered document to the clipboard as rich text, so you can paste it formatted straight into an email, a Google Doc, Slack, or anywhere else that accepts rich text, without saving a file.
If you have Pandoc installed, the Export menu gains a "Via Pandoc" group with extra formats: RTF, EPUB, LaTeX, and Pandoc's own Word and PDF output. Markappoly hands your Markdown to Pandoc and saves the result where you choose. These options only appear when Pandoc is found on your system.
Pandoc's PDF output needs a LaTeX engine installed as well; if one isn't present, that single option reports an error while the others still work. When you don't have Pandoc at all, the built-in exports above cover the common cases.
