# Built for Technical Writing
> 
> ***Techscriptor*** is a Markdown editor that makes your writing precise and
> clear.
Techscriptor helps you avoid the following:
* **Long sentences:** Make your sentences short and clear. If you see a yellow
highlight, your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get
lost trying to understand it and then you should consider splitting it up.
* **Passive voice:** Use the active voice most of the time. If the passive voice
is used, sentences tend to be more wordy and vague.
* **Generic expressions:** Reduce imprecise, weak, or generic words. There are
all kinds of generic expressions. It can happen that your readers will find them
difficult to interpret. Try replacing them with more specific expressions.
* **Adverbs:** Avoid adverbs if they add no significant meaning. Unfortunately,
adverbs sometimes make technical readers bark loudly and ferociously.
Techscriptor renders Markdown in the browser:
* inline `code`
* code blocks with syntax highlighting for many languages:
```python
def F(n):
if n == 0 or n == 1:
return n
else:
return F(n - 1) + F(n - 2)
x = 7
print(f"F({x}) = {F(x)}")
```
* footnotes[^1]
[^1]: My reference.
* tables:
| Tables | Are | Cool |
| ------------- |:-------------:| -----:|
| col 3 is | right-aligned | $1600 |
| col 2 is | centered | $12 |
| zebra stripes | are neat | $1 |
* blockquotes:
> Life is a long lesson in humility.
> — James M. Barrie
