Slop Docs guide

Getting started with Slop Docs

Slop Docs is a word processor in your browser. You write on a page, format with the toolbar, and save to Slop Drive on this device. Nothing is uploaded.

Open Slop Docs

Write and format

1. Click the name at the top left and type a name for the document.
2. Click on the page and start typing. Enter starts a new paragraph.
3. Pick a paragraph style in the first list of the toolbar: Normal text, Title, Heading 1 to 3, Quote or Code.
4. Use the toolbar for the font, size, bold (Ctrl+B), italic (Ctrl+I), underline (Ctrl+U), alignment and lists.
5. Tx clears the formatting of the selected text.

Tip: Random in the toolbar opens a dialog of generated templates. Use this template starts a new document from the one you pick.

Use the outline

The Outline on the left lists your Heading 1 to 3 paragraphs. Click one to jump to it.

A heading owns the text below it, up to the next heading of the same level. Alt+Up and Alt+Down move the whole section. Add section adds a new heading. Ctrl+Shift+O shows or hides the outline.

Save and download

Slop Docs also keeps a draft in this browser after each change, so an unsaved document comes back when you open the app again. To open a Word, Markdown or text file, put it in Slop Drive and choose Import Word, Markdown or text from Slop Drive… in the File menu.

1. Click Save (Ctrl+S). The first time, pick a folder in Slop Drive.
2. To get a file, open the File menu and choose Download PDF (.pdf), Download Word (.docx), Download Markdown (.md), Download plain text (.txt) or Download Slop Doc (.sdoc).
3. File, Print… prints the document.

Tip: Tables in imported Word files are shown and exported, but you cannot edit them yet, and pictures are not supported.
