Proton Docs Improvements
The ability to have a non-pageless design, a ruler, line spacing so it can be used for academic papers (think double space, 1.15, 1.5, etc...), ability to open PDFs in Proton Docs, word count, and the paint format feature. Also, please add the ability for the mobile versions of Proton Drive to edit Proton Docs in the app or a separate Proton Doc app. I love Proton Docs though it's amazing and the UI is beautiful.

Please raise issues on Uservoice as individual requests rather than bundling them together. Also please check ahead of doing this that they haven't already been raised. Thanks.

The initial state of Docs surprised me. The UX is a lot better than what I was expecting, probably because of my experience with Standard Notes. There is, of course, a lot left to do before it comes close to Google Docs:
- LaTeX support for math (I suggest using mathquill.com. Desmos.com implements it and it's very easy for the end user)
- A menu for browsing Unicode characters such as ⬉, ♬, etc. Google Docs calls this Special characters
- Table of contents based on titles and headers.
- Suggestion mode
- Syntax highlighting for code blocks (not expecting an IDE although would be pretty cool)
- Pageless format
- Headers & footers
- Render the gray bar in front of quotes when printing
- Line spacing
- Create a shareable link which would allow anyone who accesses it to edit or view the document without a Proton account -

Initial implementation of Docs is great, but plenty of areas to improve.
I assume there is a lot still being worked on.A couple things I've noticed, would like added/improved.
- Image formatting options - currently images are only inline, adjusting the browser width messes with the image aspect ratio.
- Dark mode
- Code block control - options to style the code block -

- Dark mode on Docs
- Create Forms to share someone as well as G€€gle but with privacy
- Continue improve Docs as introducing SpreadSheet, etc. -

A couple of things that I found that I would need.
* Dark mode. All of the other Proton apps have multiple themes including a couple dark variants. So it seems a bit strange to have a completely white page (including the menu bar).
* I really miss the Show/Hide Paragraph (¶). It is something that I learnt to use many years ago, and now I almost always have it on when writing.
* Give me options to change the view of the document. For example a Print layout (to be able to see how the page will look) and Read layout, etc.
* Checklist, so that it is easy to create a checklist. And that can easily be used to mark items in the checklist as done/completed.
