Army Memo Maker

Welcome to Army Memo Maker, a simple webapp that helps you make memos formatted in perfect accordance with AR 25-50. Memos are guaranteed to have the right spacing and font. Note, generating your memo will take a few seconds (this website is currently running on a server less powerful than your phone).

The tutorial example explains how to create your memo. You can also view other example memos to see other supported features. If you make an account, you can save documents and load recently created ones. If you are confused, try the Form Editor, which is more intuitive.

SUBJECT = Army Markdown Tutorial

# The SUBJECT = line marks the end of the admin info. You must begin the memo now!

- This memo is a demonstration of Army markdown, a new way to quickly create memos that will ALWAYS be perfectly formatted IAW with AR 25-50.

- Don't worry about numbering or lettering. Simply begin each line with a "-", we'll take care of everything else.

- To create an indented section, simply indent the next line 4 spaces (or hit tab in the browser).
    - This indented section will begin with (a).
        - We can indent even further.
            - We can try to indent further, but it will only change from numbers to letters.

# Insert bolds, italics, or underlines as follows. **text** will make text bold, *text* will make it in italics, and ***text*** will underline it.

- **Look** at *this* special ***formatting***.

You can also add a second paragraph to the same bullet by simply skipping a line *without* a new hyphen.

- Press the "Create Memo PDF" button when you're done and wait for your memo to load! Don't close the tab!
