Our previous iteration of updates came with significant improvements to existing writing tools, speed and performance improvements, the ability to add your very own images to your documents, improved TeX equation functions, and a few more additions to supplement your writing.

This round, we are excited to announce that we are back with new features on both iOS and Mac that are rest assured to improve your your planning, crafting, and writing processes. We have a wide range of templates that you can choose to write with and customize, the ability to print professionally formatted writing, and more stylized writing tools available for your use.

1. Wide Array of Templates

In the most recent JotterPad announcement, we were thrilled to share that we would be introducing a wide range of writing templates, such as books, articles, reports, presentation slides, etc. for you to explore in your writing processes. Now, these templates can be accessed and customized according to your writing needs on both iOS and Mac.

A wide-ranging selection of templates for you to choose from.

With these templates, you have the freedom to create Markdown documents and print your work in any desired style and format. You have a wide array of template options to choose from, from novel writing, screenplay writing, to creating a lab report, to drafting a cover letter, when you create a Markdown document from the template button on the interface.

Some of the unique templates we now have include the following :

Search for any template you desire easily by looking through the categories that they have been organized into or simply type in a keyword into the search box. This range of templates are ever-expanding and will soon include many more templates and formats for you to explore.

Customization

Together with the availability of these templates, users can also look forward to being able to customize and personalize their writing and documents however they please. More minute detailing such as the font size, line-spacing, page dimensions, can be customized through the YAML editor function in the templates.

Parameters, such as makeTitle can be added to create a title page, or tableOfContents can be added to create a content page in your document.

Information on other detailed customization that can be made to the templates on JotterPad iOS and Mac can be found at our help desk.

Printing

Now on JotterPad iOS and Mac, you can seamlessly print your work directly from the template that you may have chosen to write with, or as a draft.

Choose from an array of templates to produce and print neat and well-formatted work.

Both template and draft print options are assured to retain the general formatting and layout of your work. However, printing from the template generates a more finalized and professionally formatted document, while printing from the draft generates a quick preview for you to gauge the visual of your work. To view or print the finalized version of your work, click "print" and "print using template (.pdf)", while connected to the Internet connection. You can print from draft conveniently while working offline if the need to vet your work crops up urgently in the absence of internet connection.

Print your work from the template directly, or as a draft for a rough gauge of the final product.

To be able to access the full function of this option, subscribe to Pro Cloud and reap the benefits of being able to print directly from the templates that are now available.
