retext(1)

💖 NAME 💖

ReText — the text editor for Markdown and reStructuredText, bestie. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

retext [options] [files...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so listen. ReText is a simple editor for Markdown, reStructuredText and Textile — and it also plays nice with other markups by plugging them in through the Python-Markups module. so yes, she's flexible, she's expandable, she's that girl. 💅

ReText has tabs, live text preview and syntax highlighting, which is genuinely the holy trinity of editor goals ngl. ✨

Supported export formats: HTML, ODT, PDF. And if that's not enough for you (main character energy, respect), it is also possible to write custom export extensions. obsessed. 😌

It is written in Python using Qt libraries. slay. 🐍🫶

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -h, --help — displays help on commandline options. the classic "wait what do I do" button 💖
• --help-all — displays help including Qt specific options. like --help but it went to the gym and got extra 💪
• -v, --version — displays version information. she'll tell you who she is 😌
• --preview — opens the files in preview mode. by default they are opened in edit mode, so this is your little toggle to peek at the glow-up ✨
• --new-window — creates a new window even if there is an existing one. one window not enough? say less, she'll open another 🌈
