A reading app, not an editor

Most Markdown apps start as editors and bolt on a preview. Filmbook starts from the opposite end: it assumes the file is already finished, and its only job is to present it beautifully.

"Good typography is what makes a page disappear, so the reader is left alone with the words."

What's inside

Everything Filmbook does, it does for the reader.

Typography

Serif, sans, and monospaced faces — including Atkinson Hyperlegible for accessibility — all scaling with Dynamic Type.

Themes

Light, Dark, Sand, Water, and Industrial, each tuned separately for screen and print.

Outline

Jump to any heading in the document instantly.

Math

Display equations rendered properly through KaTeX; inline math approximated with Unicode symbols.

Code

Syntax-aware highlighting that adapts to every theme.

Export

Print or save a paginated PDF of the rendered document.

Five themes, tuned by hand

The same guide, rendered in every theme Filmbook ships with.

See it rendered: Alice in Wonderland

A public-domain illustrated summary of the 1865 classic, with Sir John Tenniel's original artwork — rendered by the same engine that reads your own files.
