Text and writing tools collects editors, formatters and helpers for working with words and code. The listings cover plain-text editors, markdown tools, word counters, case converters, font references and proofreading helpers. Some are full writing environments, and others handle one small job in the browser. Notice where the work happens: on your device or on a server, how files are saved and whether the tool keeps a copy. A few run in a browser tab, which suits a quick fix, but if you paste private writing into one, check how the site handles data.
