# Simple HTML files to use for word-processing (alternative to google docs/ms word et al)

this repo features two files:

1. [single.html](./single.html)
2. [word.html](.word.html)

which attempt to make one of the most bloated pieces of software (i.e. 2020ies web browsers, i.e. Chromium + some rest 
of Firefox and Webkit ) to be usable as word processor.

## why?

I like to be able to create pdf files sometimes, this allows this to do a [WYSWYG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WYSIWYG)
way to do this using [`contenteditble`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_attributes/contenteditable) which is clearly
not perfect as it has shortcomings (i.e. to insert a newline one needs to input `ctrl-enter`).

It is however to me a superior option than dealing with word processors.

## Wanna try

you can go to [https://alexmahr.de/word](https://alexmahr.de/word) and try it out. Ideally do it with a `chromium`/`blink` based
browser as those are 2024 a bit better in making the resulting `ctrl-p` (i.e. print page) pdf/printed document the correct size (i.e. letter/A4)
