ProseEdit is different.  Rather than your work being a single stream of text, you build it up from ‘chunks’ of text.  Your document is formed from a list of these chunks of text.  All the usual text editing features (and more) are implemented, but at the swipe of a toolbar you can also work with whole chunks: from moving and copying, to splitting them into paragraphs or sentences.  Rearranging content is virtually effortless.

Text— cph=111— clh=77—

This facility to work at a higher level, combined with ProseEdit's extensive array of editing tools makes it unparalleled in its ability to handle text.  Lengthy documents present no problems and large complex edits can be performed easily.

What ProseEdit Isn't

26/04/2013 10:10 - Changed to section

Item— cph=180— clh=128— level=1— format=12—

 A desktop publishing (DTP) package
ProseEdit is not What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get.  You cannot drag content into its correct position on screen or see exactly how the text will wrap as you edit.  However, this also means your content is wrapped to the screen width - giving you maximum visibility.

Item— cph=163— clh=111— level=1— format=12—

An HTML Editor
ProseEdit uses HTML to create its documents, but it is not a general purpose HTML editor.  It does not give you access to HTML tags, for example.  Equally you don't need to know anything about HTML to use ProseEdit.

Item— cph=197— clh=128— level=1— format=12—

An outliner
ProseEdit shares many features of outliners, but it doesn't have the strict content hierarchy most outliners enforce.  Instead the editing enironment is more integrated and free-flowing.  Of course there's nothing stopping you creating hierarchical lists or sections in ProseEdit - you're just not forced to.
