Distraction-free text editor for markdown

Usage

ghostwriter [FILE]

Overview

ghostwriter is a Qt text editing application for Markdown that provides an aesthetic, distraction-free writing environment.

Create your own custom themes, write in fullscreen mode, or use focus mode to concentrate on just one or more lines.

A live HTML preview allows you to view the final formatting as you type. HTML preview and export options are provided by the built-in Markdown processor, cmark-gfm; but you may add more by installing Pandoc, MultiMarkdown, or cmark processors. The application will automatically detect their installation if their locations are in the system's PATH environment variable.

Options

Disable GPU acceleration.
