Code Editor

Edit the raw project files with syntax-aware editing.

What the Code Editor Opens

Every file type has a text surface.

The Code Editor is the raw view of a file. Manuscript pages (.plp), chapter manifests (.plc), the project file (.plx), board files (.plb), cards (.plr), and Markdown notes (.md) all open here.

  • -Page files are the same content the Visual Editor shows.
  • -Manifests list the pages that belong to a chapter.
  • -Markdown files are freeform notes and PenPal plans.
Editing and Saving

Type, save, and use the zoom gesture.

Changes are saved when you press Ctrl+S or through the normal save flow. Ctrl/⌘ + scroll zooms the editor font without resizing the window, and the zoom returns to normal with the same gesture.
