The self-editing document family

Three tools, one renderer. Each turns your Markdown into a single, self-editing HTML file. Different shapes for different documents.

Start a new editable file

Open a genuine starter file in a new tab, click the pencil button, edit in the browser, then save or download your own local copy.

.md.html

Continuous document

Notes, articles, handouts, and web-style reading.

Create .md.html
.slides.html

Slide deck

A presentation with layouts, notes, fragments, and speaker view.

Create .slides.html
.paged.html

Print document

Reports, CVs, exams, letters, and printable PDFs.

Create .paged.html

What they all share

One portable file

The Markdown source lives inside the file; it renders itself on open. Nothing to install to read it.

Edit in place

A built-in editor with live preview. Save writes back to the same file (in Chromium browsers).

Copy as Markdown

Select rendered content, copy, and get clean Markdown source back, ready to reuse anywhere.

Portable metadata

Generated files can carry authorship, license, canonical source, date, description, and keywords in their own HTML head.

Inline or CDN

--inline embeds the engine (and, for slides/paged, themes); --cdn makes a smaller file.

Verifiable

The embedded framework hashes against the published packages, so tampering is detectable.

.md.html

orz-mdhtml

A continuous document.

The classic article, README, or notes view, rendered for true WYSIWYG. The editor sits beside a live preview with optional scroll-sync, exactly like the one on this site.

  • Best for articles, documentation, notes, web-style reading.
  • Resizable split, theme switch, copy-as-Markdown.
notes.md.html

.slides.html

orz-slides

A reveal.js slide deck.

Present from a single file in any browser. A layout grammar (columns, splits, regions), structure templates (title, section, closing), and presenter tools: speaker view, step-reveal fragments, a timer, and slide numbers.

  • Best for talks, lectures, lightweight decks you can email.
.paged.html

orz-paged

A paginated print document.

Markdown laid out as pages with paged.js: A4 or Letter, margins, running headers and footers, page numbers. Edit side by side, then export to PDF by printing. No PDF binary, no server. Curated templates for articles, letters, CVs, reports, and exams.

  • Best for papers, reports, CVs, exams, anything destined for paper or PDF.
An orz-paged A4 report opening its side-by-side Markdown editor and template catalog, then switching live from an Academic theme to a Neat theme.
