## Description

`ghostwriter` is a Qt text editing application for Markdown that provides an aesthetic, distraction-free writing environment.

Create your own custom themes, write in fullscreen mode, or use focus mode to concentrate on just one or more lines.

A live HTML preview allows you to view the final formatting as you type. HTML preview and export options are provided by the built-in Markdown processor, cmark-gfm; but you may add more by installing Pandoc, MultiMarkdown, or cmark processors. The application will automatically detect their installation if their locations are in the system's PATH environment variable.

## Options

`--disable-gpu`

- Disable GPU acceleration.
