Text editors and formatting tools cover software for writing, editing, and cleaning up plain text and documents. Listings include code editors used for prose, collaborative documents, Markdown tools, and converters between file formats. The formats they read and write matter, along with whether they work offline and how they handle a long document with links, tables, and footnotes. Check where a service stores your files and whether you can export them cleanly before you move a project into it. Some tools handle one task, such as tidying Markdown or converting a document, without the setup of a general editor.
