Hey Dan,

My plain text editor that may be of interest. Here are some features that may sound familiar:

• JavaFX-based
• Dark themes, light themes
• Converts Markdown to HTML
• Real-time preview using HTML viewer
• Integrates high-quality typesetting engine for generating PDF files
• Detachable tabs, completely customizable layout
• Internationalization support
• Search in the status bar
• Extensive documentation
• Free, open-source software

Features that may not be as familiar:

• Interpolated variables
• Cross-platform, self-executing archives (no installation process)
• Ability to weave R commands (see knitr)
• Renders TeX equations
• Synchronized scrolling, lockable scrollbar
• Full SVG support (Batik)
• Auto-resizes images to fit preview window
• JavaFX bug work-arounds (menu mnemonics, file chooser focus, and more)
• Real-time spellcheck
• Document statistics (total word count, individual word count)
• Completely decoupled PDF themes
• XML + XSLT support
• Event-based communications model for asynchronous behaviours
• Autogenerated diagrams from code blocks using Kroki.io

Here's a picture of the software architecture:

Hi Dave!

Keenwrite is an awesome project!

I'm a bit busy right now, but I might contribute to it when I have time.

Thanks for your comment!

Best regards
Daniel
