I just checked on this. Your display choices in the app are limited to light, dark and sepia. It would be nice if you could enter custom styles for display, but I don’t see that option. That might be an interesting feature to contribute—it’s FOSS!

As far as styling the converted output, it depends. You can style HTML with CSS. Pandoc has options to style other formats with custom templates.

I use Apostrophe markdown editor. It’s basically a plaintext editor with Markdown syntax highlighting and a rendered preview mode. It is the same formatting language you can use for posts and comments on Lemmy (and the other place).

Honestly, I’m just obsessed with Markdown. You can write it anywhere you can type. It’s just structured plaintext that you can easily convert to other formats (html, odf, pdf, etc.) Write it in Notepad. Use it text messages. Put it on Facebook. There is no native support for the format in any of these places, and it doesn’t matter.

I do all my writing in Markdown now. It keeps me focused on my document content and structure.

It’s me! I’m one of the new joiners! I’ve been enjoying the content and discussion here in the last day since I created my profile here. I have noticed a bit of lag and issues with things loading. I know there was a software update and obviously a sudden influx of new users. As frustrating as it was to have to move apps and communitie and despite the obvious growing pains, I have been happy to find a new community that is friendly and vibrant as this one!
