Export beyond Markdown
Clean Markdown is the core, but the result card’s single “Format…” menu turns it into whatever your workflow needs — pick a format, then hit Download (it never fires on its own). Powered by Pandoc, with no LLM involved.
| Family | Formats |
|---|---|
| Markdown | .md, compact (whitespace-stripped), RAG chunks (.jsonl) |
| Office & ebook | Word .docx, ODT, EPUB |
| Web & typesetting | HTML, LaTeX, reStructuredText |
| Structured XML | DocBook, JATS, TEI, OPML |
| Data | JSON, YAML, TOON (the document as structured data) |
| Privacy | redacted PDF (PII blacked out — see Anonymization) |
The Format menu
Section titled “The Format menu”Everything lives in one place. Choose a target format from the dropdown, then press Download. Selecting a format never triggers a download by itself — you stay in control of when the file is produced.
Data formats (JSON · YAML · TOON)
Section titled “Data formats (JSON · YAML · TOON)”Beyond documents, Escriba can hand you the result as structured data — the title, the sections (split by heading) and metadata (word/character counts), plus the raw Markdown. Pick JSON, YAML or TOON:
- JSON / YAML — the universal interchange formats, for pipelines and tooling.
- TOON (Token-Oriented Object Notation) — a compact, token-efficient representation designed for feeding data to LLMs: the sections collapse into a tidy tabular block, so you spend fewer tokens than JSON.
No AI is involved — it’s a local transformation of your document.
Compact Markdown
Section titled “Compact Markdown”A whitespace-stripped variant of the Markdown that saves tokens without changing the content — handy right before pasting into a model with a tight budget.
These exports are pure conversions: no AI is involved, and nothing leaves your server.
