MojoPad

Exporting

Your words are yours; MojoPad gives them plenty of exits. Everything lives under File ▸ Export Page As (the current page) and File ▸ Export Document (everything).

Current page

  • HTML… — a standalone, styled web page.
  • Markdown… — clean .md, ready for Obsidian, Joplin, and friends.
  • Plain Text… — just the words.
  • PDF… — print-quality, links intact. (⌘P prints it instead.) Long code lines wrap onto the next line on paper rather than running off the edge.

What a printed page looks like — its size, margins, line spacing, typeface and page numbers — is set once in Settings ▸ Files & Backups ▸ Paper, and everything printed or written to PDF obeys it: one page, a whole document, or a compiled folder. Journals ask for exactly these things; answer them here rather than in Word afterwards. ⌘P prints the page you are reading, not the app around it.

A storyboard exports as the document it describes. Send a board out through any of these — or through any whole-document export — and you get a manuscript, not a picture of a board: each card's depth becomes its heading level, its title becomes that heading, and the rest of the card becomes the prose beneath it. Nowhere does the card list itself show up. (If you'd rather keep the result in the wiki and polish it first, the board's own Send to… button makes it a page — see Storyboard.)

Whole document

  • Web Export… — a folder of linked HTML pages, with three looks: Clean (simple pages), Site (a navigation sidebar on every page), and Paper (a serif reading layout). Attachments come along; links between pages just work.
  • PDF… — one paginated PDF, pages in Folders order, each starting on a fresh sheet.
  • ePub… — a valid ePub 3 book, chapters in Folders order. Reads beautifully in Apple Books.
  • Markdown Folder… / Plain Text Folder… / Word Folder… — one file per page.
  • XML Backup… — every page and its metadata in one machine-readable file. Your insurance policy against everything, including us.

Order and exclusions

Document exports follow your Folders (Table of Contents first, then everything else alphabetically, home page first). Tick Skip on export in the Info palette to keep a page out of every export. Encrypted pages are always skipped. Scriptlets run during export — see Scripting: Scriptlets.

For publishing to the web on a schedule, you want Static Publishing instead.
