Editor
The editor is where Typeloom moves from planning into actual writing.
What the editor is designed to do
The editor is built for long-form work — drafting, formatting, revision, and delivery settings in one place.
It works best together with the binder and project settings:
Core writing features
- bold, italic, and underline
- headings 1 to 3
- bullet and numbered lists
- blockquotes
- text alignment
- links
- undo and redo
- live word count
- zoom controls
Typography controls
The workspace subbar gives fast access to:
- font family
- font size
- heading level
- text color
- paragraph alignment
Project settings let you define broader defaults such as line spacing, paper size, margins, and page numbers.
Metadata and writing settings
Each project can store writing-related defaults such as:
- language
- author name
- subtitle
- tags
- page settings
- writing goals
This makes Typeloom useful for both clean drafting and delivery-focused formatting.
Example
Article workflow
Create a clean structure with headings, draft in the editor, add links where sources are mentioned, and export to Markdown or DOCX when ready for publication.
- Good habit
- Use headings early so the structure stays visible in navigation and export.
- What to avoid
- Do not use manual spacing and blank lines to fake structure. Use the actual document features instead.
Screenplay writing
If screenplay tools are enabled, Typeloom adds screenplay-specific behavior such as:
- scene heading blocks
- action blocks
- character cues
- dialogue blocks
- parentheticals
- transitions
This is designed to reduce manual formatting and keep the script structurally consistent.
Best practice
Decide whether a change is local or global before making it
If a change should affect only the current section, make it in the editor. If it should define how the whole project behaves, set it in project settings instead. This keeps the project consistent and easier to maintain.
