Liquid | Author is a minimalist word processor with powerful tools, giving you greater control of your writing process. Despite its clean workspace, Author is not a 'markdown' application and therefore supports images, even with transparency, with full citation attributions. Author gives you control over how you see your document by letting you pinch your trackpad to collapse your document into an outline, so you always have an overview of your work.
Most commands are available through keyboard shortcuts and you can quickly learn any new commands since when you ctrl-click the keyboard shortcuts are clearly listed, something you will soon find useful and wonder why it's not standard.
