Writing

The editor is Markdown. What you type is what is stored — no hidden format, no export step. The extras below are conveniences on top of it.

Press / on a new line to insert something without remembering the syntax:

Heading 1 · Heading 2 · Heading 3 · Bold · Italic · Strikethrough · Inline code · Code block · Quote · Callout · Bullet list · Numbered list · Task list · Table · Link · Image · Divider · Footnote

Keep typing to filter, ↑/↓ to move, Enter to insert, Esc to close.

Callouts#

Five kinds, written as a blockquote with a marker:

markdown

> [!NOTE]
> Useful context.

> [!TIP]
> A shortcut worth knowing.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Do not skip this.

> [!WARNING]
> This can bite.

> [!CAUTION]
> This can lose data.

The stored file keeps the plain > [!NOTE] text, so it still reads correctly anywhere else that opens Markdown.

Tables#

Insert one from the slash menu and pick the size from a grid. Tab moves between cells, and the toolbar can add or remove rows and columns.

Task lists#

markdown

- [x] Draft the page
- [ ] Get it reviewed

Press Enter at the end of a list item and the next one appears with the same marker, numbered lists included.

Saving#

Typing saves automatically about two seconds after you stop. Cmd/Ctrl+S saves immediately. A page you have published updates within seconds of a save.

If the same file was changed somewhere else — another tab, another device, Google Docs — Markloom notices before overwriting and offers you the choice of keeping your version or reloading theirs. It will not silently discard either one.

Version history#

The editor keeps snapshots as you write, and you can pin the ones worth keeping. Open History to preview and restore. Restoring is itself undoable, because the state you restored from is snapshotted first.

Limits#

One megabyte per file, 255 characters per file name.
