Text Formatting
Markdown makes it easy to format text. You can write in bold, italic, or strikethrough. Combine them for bold italic text. Use
inline code for technical terms.Lists
Unordered lists use dashes, asterisks, or plus signs:
- Import files from GitHub, Dropbox, or Google Drive
- Export to Markdown, HTML, or PDF
- Drag and drop files directly into the editor
Ordered lists are numbered automatically:
- Write your markdown
- Preview the rendered output
- Export or save to the cloud
Nested lists work too:
- Cloud integrations
- GitHub repositories
- Dropbox folders
- Google Drive files
- OneDrive and Bitbucket
- Local features
- Auto-save to browser storage
- Image paste from clipboard
