How to use the Markdown editor for notes

With Repsona, you can create notes (Markdown-compatible) to capture team know-how, and organize and share information. Learn how to use the Markdown editor for notes.

What is Markdown?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language for writing. You can write in plain text, apply formatting like bold or italics, and structure documents with headings.

Because it’s just text (plain text), you can start writing immediately—like jotting notes—without worrying about layout. Focus on the work of writing, not on adjusting paragraphs or positions.

This help site is also written in Markdown.

Features of Markdown

• Everyone can write easily
• Read as it is
• You can decorate and structure beautifully with a little ingenuity.
• Used in various services
• Since it is text, the difference is easy to understand

Example of how to write Markdown

For example, if you write a list in Markdown as follows,

- List 1 
- List 2
- List 3

It will be automatically converted to HTML and displayed as below.

• List 1
• List 2
• List 3

How to use the note editor

Create a note

Use "Add a note" at the bottom of the list on the Notes screen. Enter a title and press Enter to create the note and open the editor on the right. Your content is saved automatically.

Decorate the text

You don't need to remember Markdown syntax. The note editor shows what you write as it will look. Select the text you want to format and a toolbar appears.

Use the menu on the left of the toolbar to change the type of line (Paragraph, Heading 1 to 6, Bullet List, Ordered List, Todo List, Blockquote, Code Block). Use the buttons on the right for text formatting and links.

• Bold
• Italic
• Underline
• Strikethrough
• Inline code
• Link

Insert with commands

Type "/" at the start of a line to open the commands menu. You can insert headings, lists, Todo List, blockquote, code block, table, image, and more. Keep typing to filter the commands.

Write in Markdown

If you type Markdown syntax as is, it is converted automatically. For example, # at the start of a line makes a heading, - a list, 1. a numbered list, [ ] a checklist, and > a quote. Wrapping text in ** makes it bold. Pasted Markdown text is converted in the same way.

For the syntax list, see How to write Markdown.

Insert images

Drag and drop an image into the editor to insert it. You can also choose a file from "Image" in the commands menu.

Mentions and emoji

Type "@" followed by a name to mention a teammate. They will be notified. Type ":" followed by a keyword to insert an emoji.

Heading links and table of contents

Hover over a heading and click the button to copy a link to that heading. Use "Table of contents" at the top right of the note to jump to a heading.

If you find Markdown difficult, just write it in text

Repsona's note editor supports Markdown, but it's just a text editor (Notepad). Feel free to write a text.

Too much attention to the layout and decoration of the text makes it difficult to get around to the "contents" that should be described in detail. Simply focus on writing the text and put off the layout and decoration.
