Changing Format

You can change the format of an existing text block:

  1. Tap on the text item to focus it
  2. Use the Format button in the edit toolbar
  3. Select the new format

Headings

Headings help structure your pages into sections. Three levels are available:

  • H1 — Large heading for main sections
  • H2 — Medium heading for subsections
  • H3 — Small heading for sub-subsections

Add headings from the + menu → Heading, then choose the level.

Markdown Support

Text blocks support CommonMark markdown rendering. You can use standard markdown syntax:

  • **bold** for bold text
  • *italic* for italic text
  • `code` for inline code
  • [link text](url) for links

The markdown is rendered when you exit editing mode, giving you a clean reading experience.

Markdown Export

You can export any page and its contents as universal markdown:

  1. Open the page you want to export
  2. Access the overflow menu
  3. Select Export as Markdown

The exported markdown is ready to use in any markdown-compatible tool.
