Markdown support

Flints stores notes as Markdown underneath. That means two things: Markdown shorthand works as you type, and Markdown you already have pastes in correctly.

As you type#

Type these at the start of a line, followed by a space:

Inside text:

• **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, __underline__
• ==highlight==, `code`
• [text](https://link)
• [[Note name]] — a wikilink

Pasting Markdown#

Copy Markdown from another app and paste it into the editor: Flints turns it into real blocks — headings become headings, lists become lists, tables become tables.

This only happens when the text carries an unmistakable Markdown marker. Ordinary prose — say the price is 5 * 3 dollars or variable_name_here — is pasted literally.

Nothing is converted when you paste into a code block; the text arrives exactly as it was.

Export#

Any note can be downloaded as a .md file from the export button in the top bar. To copy a single block as Markdown, use Copy as Markdown in the block menu.
