What is Madoko?
Madoko is an open-source Markdown editor and processor designed for creating professional and scientific documents. It goes beyond basic Markdown by supporting advanced features like:
- Citations and bibliographies
- Diagrams and images
- Math typesetting with LaTeX and MathML
- Code syntax highlighting
- Tables of contents and indexes
- Export to PDF, HTML, EPUB
Madoko has a simple, clean UI that gets out of your way so you can focus on writing. It renders documents live as you type them. The PDF export is print-ready and meets academic publishing standards.
Madoko is implemented in Typescript and JavaScript and runs client-side in the browser. This means your documents are kept private unlike cloud-based Markdown editors. Madoko can also be used offline after the initial load.
With its advanced Markdown capabilities tuned for academic writing, Madoko is a great open-source alternative to expensive tools like Microsoft Word and Adobe InDesign. It balances simplicity and power to improve scientific writing productivity.
