Editor Toolbar

The editor toolbar provides visible controls for common formatting and insertion actions. It is useful when you do not remember Markdown syntax or when a touchpad workflow is faster than a keyboard shortcut.

Formatting controls

Use the toolbar for inline and block formatting:

• Bold, italic, strikethrough, and code.
• Headings and paragraph formatting.
• Bullet, numbered, and task lists.
• Blockquotes and callouts.
• Links, embeds, images, and tables.

The toolbar writes Markdown into the note. It does not create hidden rich-text state.

Selection behavior

When text is selected, formatting commands usually wrap the selection. When no text is selected, commands insert syntax at the cursor or prepare a block for typing.

Examples:

Copy**selected text**
_selected text_
`selected text`

Insert actions

Insert actions are for content that has structure:

• Insert a table when information belongs in rows and columns.
• Insert a callout when a warning, note, or tip should stand apart.
• Insert an image when visual material is part of the source note.
• Insert a link when the destination matters to the argument.

Best practice

Use the toolbar to learn the Markdown shape, then edit the text directly when you need precision. Markdown remains the durable record.
