A typesetting engine / Markdown & Word

Your words,
brought to type.

Plain Markdown or a Word file goes in. A properly set .docx or print-ready PDF comes out — set in the manner of a master typographer, then handed back to you. Free, private, nothing stored.

On the Setting of Type

The difference between text that is merely entered and text that is set is the whole of this craft.

The measure

A good line runs to about sixty-six characters, letters and spaces both.

The archive / eleven typographers

Every document, set by a master.

Each template is a full set of type decisions — face, measure, scale, rhythm — drawn from a typographer’s own work. Choose one; the whole document is composed to match.

Convert / what you take away

Pick a format. Take it with you.

Obsidian plugin

Write in Obsidian.
Deliver in Word.

Obsidian exports PDF, but not Word. Export DOCX adds the missing command — any note becomes a real .docx, same engine as this site, no copy-paste.

Cleanup / proofed on the way out

It proofreads while it sets.

Every export quietly fixes the small stuff review cycles are wasted on — and tells you exactly what it did: “Fixed 14 things: 6 double spaces, 3 straight quotes…” Code, links and anything ambiguous are never touched.

Spacing

  • Double spaces collapsed
  • Stray blank lines removed
  • Trailing whitespace trimmed
  • Invisible Unicode normalized

Typography

  • Straight → curly quotes
  • Real apostrophes
  • -- --- → en / em dashes
  • ... → real ellipsis

Punctuation

  • No space before , . ; :
  • Space added after commas
  • Space between sentences
  • List punctuation (pt-BR)

Numbers

  • 1.234,56 ↔ 1,234.56
  • R$1.000 → R$ 1.000
  • 50 % → 50%
  • 1o → 1º, 2a → 2ª (pt-BR)
