Markzen Help

Convert & export

The toolbar's Convert to menu is where a finished document leaves Markzen. It does two distinct things.

Convert to another markup language. Rewrite the open document as any of the other six markups — AsciiDoc, Djot, MediaWiki, Org, reStructuredText or Textile. Useful when a wiki wants MediaWiki, a publisher wants AsciiDoc, or you're moving notes between ecosystems.

Export to a finished format. Hand the document to the bundled converter, which emits more than twenty document formats, grouped by what they're for:

Category Formats
Ebooks EPUB 3, FictionBook2
Word processor Microsoft Word (.docx), OpenDocument (.odt), Rich Text Format (.rtf)
Presentation Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx), reveal.js (.html)
Typesetting InDesign ICML, LaTeX (.tex), Typst (.typ)
XML DocBook, JATS, OpenDocument XML, TEI Simple
Wiki MediaWiki (.wiki)
Notebook Jupyter Notebook (.ipynb)
Outline OPML (.opml)

The converter ships inside Markzen — nothing extra to download or configure. Alongside these, three quick outputs sit on the toolbar: Save as PDF and Save as HTML export the rendered document exactly as previewed (style template, fonts and extension figures included), and Print sends it to a printer.
