Markdown

Everything you write here is Markdown — a note's body, a checklist item's note, a board card's description, a map node's note. Every one of those areas understands every feature on this page.

Every example below is rendered by the application itself. The left-hand side is what you type; the right-hand side is what that text becomes when it goes through the same code a note's body goes through. If the two ever disagree, this page is what is wrong.

Things to tick

A task line renders as a real checkbox. Ticking it in a note changes the text, and the count of what is left shows on the note itself. 

- [ ] Chase the roof quote
- [x] Send the deposit paperwork
  • Chase the roof quote
  • Send the deposit paperwork

A bare [ ] at the start of a line becomes one too, without having to be a list first — because that is how people actually type them. 

[ ] Book the removal van
  • Book the removal van

Links and pictures

The surveyor's report

A picture is the same with an exclamation mark in front. Dragging a file into the editor writes this line for you and stores the file privately — served through the application, which checks who you are first.

Tables

Tables need no alignment from you. However ragged the source, saving tidies it — so a table stays readable in the editor as well as on the page. 

| Thing | Cost |
|---|---|
| A very long thing | 5 |
| Short | 10 |
| Thing             | Cost |
| ----------------- | ---- |
| A very long thing | 5    |
| Short             | 10   |
What you type, and what is stored. The right-hand side is not typed out here — it is the source put through the same tidier that runs when you save.

Either way, it renders as a table:

| Thing | Cost |
|---|---|
| A very long thing | 5 |
| Short | 10 |
Thing Cost
A very long thing 5
Short 10

Diagrams

A fenced block marked mermaid is drawn as a diagram rather than printed as code. The diagrams page has the shapes and their syntax.

Linking one note to another

Double brackets name a subject — a person, a place, a thing — and become a link to a page gathering everywhere it has been mentioned across the workspace. 

Met [[the surveyor]] about [[Ashgrove Road]].
Inside a workspace, each of those becomes a link to that subject's own page — which lists every note, item, card and node that mentions it. They are shown here as plain text on purpose: this page belongs to no workspace, and a subject link only exists inside one.

What is not allowed

Raw HTML is stripped. What a note renders is a fixed list of tags, so a note somebody shares with you cannot run anything, style the page around it, or load something from elsewhere. Everything on this page is in that list.
