    EME offers the Markdown syntax and saves your documents as Markdown files. An export to PDF is also possible. You can switch between several modes, and for novel writers, the counting of words, lines or characters might be of interest.

    Once upon a time, people pounded out their memos and missives on a typewriter. There was no backspace, spell check, or fancy formatting, just forward movement, and muttered obscenities when you screwed up. Typewriter brings some of that ink-stained experience back.
