![]() ![]() ![]() Not only is FoldingText minimalistic in design, but also in file format: it only uses plain text files. All formatting is done with Markdown with a twist: You can mark any area as having special formatting and functionality by adding an extension to the end of a header line. ![]() When you launch FoldingText, you are presented with a plain window. This clean, minimal graphics interface helps to focus on the writing and not on the program. Some MarkdownĪs you type Markdown formatting commands, the text is highlighted and extra things-such as addresses in a link-are hidden. In the above example, you can see the Markdown for an anchor while the cursor is still on it. When moving to a new line, or adding another character, FoldingText hides the address details so that you only see the title. Now edit the Markdown text to be a header and click on the # symbol beside Introduction. This quickly folds the text in that section up to the next header. The folded text symbol is shown in the upper left corner. Clicking either the triangular symbol at the top left corner or the … at the end of the folded section will unfold that text.Īlso, it adds a … (an ellipsis) to the end of the folded section. The real innovation found in FoldingText is the extensions. FoldingText comes with two extensions pre-built in: todo, and timer. The todo extension gives you a multi-level todo list with checkboxes. The timer extension gives you timers to alert you. If you make a list with times on the lines, it will countdown the topmost time, message you, and start on the next time. You can create as many extension areas in one document as you need.Īs you can see in the todo list example, you can tag any line in FoldingText. FoldingText uses some tags for special formatting (ie: the cross-out on the tag). CommandsįoldingText has a command palette, similar to that made popular with Sublime Text. When you press Command-Quote, a list of all available commands will appear. It does not have that many commands built in so I’ll show you how to add some. To begin a plug-in, you start with the Plug-In Manager. Opening the Plug-In Managerįrom the FoldingText Main Menu, select Plug-In Manager. ![]()
