Impressing Others With Your Documents & Knowledge

How do consultants, freelancers, knowledge authors easily format or produce a document all while periodically tabling it

Think how far we’ve come in terms of producing computer generated reading material: MAC Write, PC Write, WordStar, WordPerfect, MS Word…… a trip down word processor memory lane. Today the terminology has veered away from emphasis on words or processing to the completed object: Document

Cloud based Office 365, Google Docs, and Quip enable optional tracking and shared editing of documents favored mostly by educators, sales staff, and community organizations. However, the legal field and others, with a need for more industry specific options, have veered away from these over simplified apps. The need for compatibility from plain text to html is also a looming problem.

Authors represent another industry underserved by any of the above options. Whether an e-book or documentation accompanying a consultant when summarizing a job or proposal; the limitations are clearly a point of time consumption and frustration.

Recently it was brought to our attention about Remarq The company is based out of Norman, Oklahoma; home of the largest collection, in terms of donation to a University, of French Impressionist art.

Meanwhile, Remarq founder, Jeremy Green, went another direction in terms of design, artistic layout, and impressions. The core of Remarq is their integration and compatibility with Markdown. (Markdown is a super simple way to add formatting like headers, bold, bulleted lists, and so on to plain text.

Instead of opening and closing lines with angle brackets like you would in HTML, you use a simpler set of keys.)

Another feature is an automatically generated table of contents.
