My daily writing tool is a markdown editor called ghostwriter. While the novel editor on Tapas is nice and simple, it doesn't have that many options when it comes to formatting. In addition, I have to copy and paste every time I want to publish an episode and manually redo italics. I keep the master copies of my stuff on my hard drive and it is impractical/unwise to have it all on Tapas. I can't be the only one that does this. I'm not a developer but I don't think it would be too much of a hassle to implement because the forums already use markdown. Markdown is also just an awesome tool anyway, and for aspiring writers it is a great thing to learn because it lets you have a basic master copy and then convert that master copy into anything you want.
If there are any other novel writers here feel free to chime in with other suggestions because I couldn't find another thread for feedback about the editor.
TL;DR
- Add markdown compatibility to the editor (this would make copy/paste sooo much easier. As it is now I have to manually redo italics in my chapters.).
