Markdown Shortcuts

With Notabase, you can type markdown inline, and it will be automatically converted into the corresponding formatting block.

Inline shortcuts

These shortcuts can be used while you're typing.

• Type ** on either side of your text to bold.

• Type * on either side of your text to italicize.

• Type ` on either side of your text to create inline code.

• Type ~~ on either side of your text to strikethrough.

• Type [[Linked Note]] to insert a link to the note "Linked Note". This will create a new note with that title if it does not already exist.

• Type [title](https://www.example.com) to insert an external link. Or if you have the URL copied, you can type title, highlight it, and paste to create a link.

• Type [custom title]([[Linked Note]]) to insert a link to the note "Linked Note" with a custom title.

• Type #Tag followed by a space to insert a tag called Tag.

• Type (( and then some text in order to search for a block across all of your notes that has that text. Clicking on that block will insert a block reference.
