Editor

The MarkMyWords text editor uses the macOS text system as a basis. This means that all known features from applications that also work with the text system (e.g. Apple's Textedit) are also available in MarkMyWords. These special settings for processing the text can be set via the context menu (right-click with the mouse over the editable text area). In addition, the MarkMyWords editor has been expanded with a variety of useful tools and functions to make writing easier and more convenient.
