Comment Applewriter 2.1 (text editor+Markdown+Pandoc) (Score 1) 148

by Allistair (#61445560) Attached to: What is your preferred word processor?
Applewriter used many of the same dot commands as WordStar. It predated AppleWorks on the Apple ][ and had a really extensive macro language. Don Lancaster published many articles about doing PostScript typesetting with it. Today we think of wordprocessing as being certain WYSIWYG bells and whistles. But I did a lot of real word processing on AppleWriter which today many would consider a text editor with a markup language tacked on. So now I use a text editor, Markdown, and Pandoc and get along just fine.
