The webpage <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cowlark.com&#x2F;wordgrinder&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;cowlark.com&#x2F;wordgrinder&#x2F;</a><p>has a lot more information and some screenshots.<p>I find it a bit amusing that the programmers write the following about the last version upgrade:<p>&quot;&quot;This version has a tonne of new features&quot;&quot;<p>Creating a simple, get out of your way wordprocessor that cant do a few things very well seems at odds with feature bloat when you cram more and more features into each release.

After having tried several approaches to minimalist text authoring, such as FocusWriter and pure text editors, WordGrinder is now my preferred tool for the job. Running in an xterm it&#x27;s fast, distraction free and easy to use.

I did all my college papers with a CP&#x2F;M roff program that I ported to MSDOS Turbo C from a port that someone else did to some other MSDOS compiler. That plus a text editor (Emacs subset) was all I needed. It is still around, 23KB of C code:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cis.temple.edu&#x2F;~giorgio&#x2F;old&#x2F;cis307f07&#x2F;software&#x2F;minix&#x2F;src&#x2F;commands&#x2F;simple&#x2F;roff.c" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;cis.temple.edu&#x2F;~giorgio&#x2F;old&#x2F;cis307f07&#x2F;software&#x2F;minix...</a><p>I guess WordGrinder is a TUI thing which maybe has its attractions.

I do not understand and never have the general meme:<p>&gt;&quot;This great new word processor is lightweight and that is awesome, you get a blank screen and only that &quot;<p>Would seem like:<p>&quot;I have written an amazing lightweight fast new code editor that wont slow you down. You get a blank screen and is that, no confusing keyboard shortcuts, no syntax sugar, no weird coloring of your code, no in program terminal etc &quot; Or rather I have recreated Microsoft Windows Notepad, with even fewer features.<p>No, I do want my code editor to have quite a lot of features that I can use -if- I need them.<p>I do a lot of writing so this goes for my word processor as well.<p>It is trivial to configure Microsoft Word to show you nothing but a blank screen and you can start typing. If that is your thing. If you need more its available.<p>(No it can&#x27;t do everything LaTex can, Yes you may be able to type faster in vi)

it&#x27;s always encouraging to see david given&#x27;s projects. the choice of opengl and luau is interesting and appealing. the file format is also appealing: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;davidgiven&#x2F;wordgrinder&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;README.wg">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;davidgiven&#x2F;wordgrinder&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;README...</a>

I&#x27;ve always found reading and writing large volumes of prose in monospaced fonts to be awkward.

Wordgrinder is kinda nice, it&#x27;s one of the few console editors that can do word-wrapping well (similar to a textbox in a GUI). What I want is to see each paragraph wrapped on the screen, but saved with only a newline for each paragraph, not for each line. A GUI textbox does exactly this but on the console most editors save line breaks when they word-wrap.<p>I like it but I wish it was easier to work with plain text files. You always have to use the export function instead of just saving.

Add catdoc, docx2txt, odt2txt, wv, and so on. These tools will convert propietary word processor formats to plain text. Or, in the case of wv, to several more open formats. It&#x27;s useful to get the content and edit them later under Wordgrinder or any text editor.<p>The same with sc-im+gnuplot for Excel files.

When you look at a document in the word processor&#x27;s native format and it literally just looks like Reveal Codes is on.<p>Admittedly, HTML has this property as well, but HTML was sort of designed to be edited by hand.

Another option for distraction-free writing is <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;typora.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;typora.io&#x2F;</a>. It is GUI and quite small.

First they say:<p>&gt; WordGrinder is a simple, Unicode-aware word processor that runs on the console.<p>But then,<p>&gt; WordGrinder needs the following packages installed:<p>&gt; - a terminal emulator that supports UTF-8. gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm and rxvt-unicode do. rxvt and the Linux console don&#x27;t<p>So, the title is misleading. It&#x27;s not a console word processor. It&#x27;s a terminal emulator word processor.
