Split editor. View ▸ Split Editor (⌥⌘S) shows one document in two panes, so you can write in one while keeping another part in view.
Export. File ▸ Export writes HTML and Rich Text, and Edit ▸ Copy ▸ HTML and Rich Text put the same on the clipboard.
Tables. Format ▸ Table ▸ Insert Table starts one. Columns align as you type, Tab and Return move between cells, and the same menu adds and removes rows and columns.
Right-to-left text. Arabic, Hebrew and Persian paragraphs now run right to left. Format ▸ Text Direction sets a document’s direction when the automatic choice is wrong.
Footnotes and reference links. Add Footnote (⌥⌘K) inserts the next numbered note. Add Reference Link (⇧⌘K) does the same for links. Typing [^ or ][ completes labels. When things get messy, Format ▸ Clean Up ▸ Tidy Links and Footnotes renumbers them and gathers the definitions at the end.
Hard-wrapped Markdown. Opening a file that looks hard-wrapped shows an alert pointing to Format ▸ Clean Up ▸ Unwrap Paragraphs. ⇧Return inserts a Markdown hard line break, and Settings ▸ Markdown ▸ Line Breaks keeps every break on export if that’s how you write.
