muwu - Markup Writeup

compile markdown files from a human-readable outline

"Maybe WYSIWYG is not WYW."

Muwu was created in response to dissatisfaction with commercial word processors, particularly the poor support for exporting to HTML.

• Muwu starts with the outline.
  • Easy to rearrange your project.
  • Develop your project using smaller, manageable files.
  • Organize your project to your needs.
  • Use your favorite text editor!
• Muwu can make a table of contents.
  • Hyperlink your document.
  • Automatic section numbering.
• Muwu reads Markdown.
  • Simple syntax.
  • Focus on the text now, save the formatting for later!
• Muwu reads Haml.
  • Just in case Markdown isn't enough.
• Muwu reads YAML.
  • Simple syntax for the project outline, project metadata, and project options.
• Muwu writes HTML5 and CSS3.
  • Flexible rendering for screen and print media.
  • Does not use inline style= attributes.

Maybe you don't know the page size for which a work will be destined. Maybe there is no page. Maybe a project is still deep in development, and it's too soon to be thinking about fonts, formatting, margins, spacing, and styles. Maybe what-you-see-is-what-you-get is not what you want.
