What MarkMyWords is
MarkMyWords is a macOS markup writing suite for authors preparing articles for blogs and news sites. It supports HTML, Markdown, MultiMarkdown, MarkdownExtra, Textile, Wikitext, BBCode, and Smark through a custom Markdown flavor. CriticMarkup tools handle editorial markup, while the editor offers customizable appearance, keyboard shortcuts, text clips, autocomplete, automatic list continuation, and automatic closing of quotation marks and brackets.

MarkMyWords opens and saves Textbundle files, exports Textbundle and Textpack, and exports writing as RTF, DOC, ODT, HTML, or PDF. CSV tables and text from common applications can be imported.
