    Discontinued Free, open-source, cross-platform desktop Markdown text editor with live preview, string interpolation, and math.

    KeenWrite is my free and open-source cross-platform desktop text editor that allows users to write pose using variables defined in a separate file. A few highlights:

    * Uses flexmark-java[1] to render Markdown as HTML.

    * Extends flexmark-java to support Pandoc’s ::: fenced div syntax.

    * Supports plain text diagrams via Kroki[2].

    * Computes statistics (word count, word frequencies).

    * Performs real-time spell checking.

    * Integrates the R programming language.

    * Includes a subset of TeX for math.

    * Exports to XHTML with TeX as either SVG or inline markup.

    * Exports to PDF using the ConTeXt[3] typesetting software and a variety of starter themes.

    * Converts straight quotes to curly quotes using KeenQuotes, automagically.

    See the screenshots[4] for details.
