Markdown

You write note and card fields in markdown: a widely used writing format that lets you add formatting (bold, lists, headings, links...) to plain text with just a handful of markers. This page summarizes standard markdown syntax; the next page covers what Tsunagi adds on top of it (math, diagrams, media, cloze).

Basic formatting

What you wantHow to write it
Bold**bold text**
Italic*italic text*
Strikethrough~~strikethrough~~
Inline code`code`

Headings

You can write heading levels 1 through 6, from # to ######, depending on how many # you use:

# Large heading
## Subheading
### Smaller heading

Lists

Use -, *, or + for an unordered list, and 1. for an ordered list:

- first item
- second item

1. first step
2. second step

Blockquote

Putting > at the start of a line makes it a blockquote; consecutive > lines merge into a single blockquote.

[visible text](https://...)
![alt text](gorsel-dosyasi)

When adding an image, it's more practical to use the editor's media-insert tool instead of typing the file reference by hand. We cover that on the next page.

Code block

Text you write between three backticks (```) becomes a code block; if you specify a language (like ```dart), syntax highlighting is applied.

Table

Writing rows one after another as |cell|cell| is enough: unlike some markdown tools, you don't need a separate ---|--- separator line above them.

Horizontal rule

Three or more hyphens (---) alone on a line create a horizontal rule (a section divider).

How preview works

The text isn't rendered live as you type. Instead, every field has a preview button in its top-right corner. Tapping it shows the field's fully rendered output instead of the raw text you typed; double-tapping the preview switches back to edit mode. So you see plain text while writing, and check the rendered version with a single tap whenever you want.
