Features of #Gazer

Supported Markup Languages

#Gazer natively supports the following markup-languages: Markdown, MarkdownExtra, MultiMarkdown, BBCode, HTML, Smark, Textile, Wikitext. #Gazer automatically detects which markup-language should be used by the file extension of the file to be displayed. Within the preferences of #Gazer you can add new file extensions and change the assignment to the respective languages.

Furthermore, the additional markup language CriticMarkup is supported, which can be provided with custom CSS styles via the preferences of #Gazer.

For MultiMarkdown users there is also a special option to use the MultiMarkdown Terminal tool via the #Gazer preferences.

Automatic content updates

#Gazer updates the view automatically every time the file is saved. This allows you to edit your text in your favorite editor while viewing your formatted document.

Textbundle and Textpack support

#Gazer also supports the popular Textbundle and Textpack formats, which can also be formatted with all #Gazer supported markup-languages.
