| Format | Notes |
|---|---|
PDF | .pdf |
Universal format that’s great for sharing and for printing at a later time. Template styling is applied and locked in so you can share beautiful finished documents. |
MS Word | .docx |
Widely recognized and accepted document format. Great for sharing content that will later be edited, formatted or styled in Word. |
HTML | .html |
The language of the web. Great for sharing a document’s content to popular blogging or content management systems (CMS). |
Markdown | .md |
Unformatted, unstyled, plain-text file format which can be opened across a wide range of systems and apps. Preserves your original MD syntax so you can work with this in other Markdown editors/apps. |
Project Archive | .zip |
All encompassing export which includes not only your document (as you see in Editor) but also any embedded Content Blocks. Great for sharing an entire project or even for creating a duplicate/backup of an in-progress project in Writer. |
Preview determines what Export and Print will look like. In the case of PDF, the currently selected typography in the Preview will be used.
You can change the appearance of your export by selecting another Template from Preview and adding a title page, headers, or footers in Configure Templates. More about that on this dedicated page: Templates.
Still from the iOS sharing button, you have the choice between printing your formatted text with Print... (as you see it on Preview, the most common situation) or as plain text with Print Plain Text….
