Note
Panorama Markdown is preview software, and feedback is very welcome.
Panorama Markdown is a lightweight dialect for writing academic papers and representing parsed PDF papers in Markdown.
It is designed to be friendly to LLMs while staying simple and comfortable for people to write.
- Standard Markdown for headings, paragraphs, lists, links, footnotes, and emphasis
- YAML front matter for titles, authors, abstracts, and keywords
- Citations via
:citeand a::referencesblock backed by BibTeX - Figures and tables are imported with directive syntax instead of embedded directly in the Markdown
- Cross-references via
:refto labeled sections, figures, and tables
The specification is still in progress, but the current format is documented and ready to explore.
Each paper lives in a flat directory of files. The full directory layout and Markdown syntax are defined in SPEC.md.
Markdown defines the content, while layout and styling stay separate. The current tooling can export APA-style PDFs, with support for additional styles planned.
Download the latest editor build from the GitHub releases page.
After downloading, open or create a paper directory to start editing and exporting PDFs.
Use the Agent button in the top-right to copy prompts to your agent (Codex, Claude) and collaborate directly from the agent.
