Markdown Tab
The Markdown tab gives you a clean, distraction-free writing environment powered by SimpleMDE. It is ideal for notes, documentation, meeting summaries, and any other formatted text you want to keep alongside your workspace content.
Opening a Markdown Tab
Click the "+" button in the tab bar and select Markdown from the menu. A new tab opens with an empty editor ready for input.
Editing Mode
By default the tab opens in edit mode, where you type raw Markdown syntax. Click the Edit button in the toolbar to toggle between edit and preview mode at any time.
The toolbar provides one-click shortcuts for common formatting:
| Button | Action |
|---|---|
| B | Bold |
| I | Italic |
| H | Heading (cycles H1–H3) |
| Link | Insert hyperlink |
| Image | Insert image URL |
| Code | Inline or fenced code block |
| List | Ordered or unordered list |
Supported Markdown Syntax
You can use all standard Markdown features:
- Headings — prefix lines with
#,##, or### - Bold and italic — wrap text in
**bold**or*italic* - Unordered lists — start lines with
-or* - Ordered lists — start lines with
1.,2., etc. - Links —
[label](url) - Inline code — wrap with backticks
- Code blocks — wrap with triple backticks and optionally specify a language
Preview Mode
Clicking Edit toggles the rendered preview. The preview shows your formatted output exactly as it will appear when shared or exported. Toggle back to edit mode at any time to continue writing.
Saving Your Work
Changes are saved automatically as you type. You can also see the auto-save indicator in the tab header.
For a richer block-based editing experience, consider the EditorJS Tab. To manage all your content tabs, see the Tab System Overview.
