Description

ReText is a simple but powerful editor for markup languages. It is based on 'Markups', which supports Markdown, reStructuredText, Textile and AsciiDoc. One can also add support for custom markups using Python modules. For a more powerful preview engine with JavaScript support, you can "pkg_add py3-qt6webengine", this is not forced as a dependency as it's only available on a couple of machine architectures.
