# Open file-format
MarkMyWords DOES NOT use databases or proprietary file formats for saving documents. All documents created with MarkMyWords are saved as plain text files by default and are therefore application- and platform-independent. MarkMyWords also offers an option to store documents in the open Textbundle-format.
# Advanced text editor features
The text editor offers many useful features to simplify the writing of texts. In addition to the automatic closing of brackets and quotes, the editor also provides an automatic list generation. Moreover, an automated table creation is available for MultiMarkdown and Markdown Extra. In addition, a rich set of keyboard shortcuts for the most common formatting and actions for moving/copying text within documents are available.
# Options to adjust look'n feel of the editor
MarkMyWords also provides many options to offer a comfortable working environment by setting many aspects of the editor to your personal preferences. Next to settings for font-color, -style and -size, there are also options for spacing of lines, paragraphs, etc. and the option to display line numbering next to the editor.
# Live preview
The live preview shows your texts in the formatted state. When displaying you can either use one of the inbuilt CSS-Styles or use your own CSS-Styles. It is also possible to display CriticMarkup formatting.
# Textclips
By using Textclips, MarkMyWords helps you to write articles with repetitive text structures even faster. Textclips can be created by yourself and inserted into a document at any time. In addition, keywords can be defined for Textclips which, together with the tab key, can insert the desired Textclip into your text automatically.
# Sidebar
The sidebar offers extensive tools that can assist you in your writing tasks. The sidebar offers:
* quick access to your documents
* access to your Textclips collection
* overview of all headlines in your document
* access to the attachments of the current document
* extensive information about the document
# Distraction-free mode
The distraction-free mode hides all elements and thus directs full concentration on the actual text. As with the normal editor, several options for customization are available for the distraction-free mode.
