Built-in Templates

iA Writer comes with 6 built-in templates:

You can display them in Web mode or PDF mode. Here is a quick peek at each of them side by side in PDF mode:

Classic | Modern | GitHub

The GitHub template stands apart from other built-in templates due to its primary focus on technical writing. Crafted by directly replicating GitHub’s CSS, this template does not support the Default Template Settings (such as Number heading, footer…) typically used for creative writing.

Mono | Duo | Quattro

Installing Templates

Please follow these steps to install those additional templates on Windows (v1.2+):

Custom Templates

Users comfortable with code (CSS, HTML, and JS) can create custom templates tailored to their own tastes. For more on this please see our dedicated page: Custom Templates.

It is also possible to override some of the CSS for a selected template by adding an HTML style block in your document. This solution is great for users who aren’t comfortable with code or those who just want to add a few changes (font size or font color for example), without creating a template.

You can see the code and CSS classes to target by enabling the Web Inspector in Preview.
