Docs/Editor

Editor

You write in a single pane, and your text takes on its formatting right where you type — a heading looks like a heading, bold looks bold. There's no separate preview to flip to. These pages cover that writing experience, the simple marks you use to format text, the keyboard shortcuts, the pop-up list that helps you link notes as you type, and dictation for when you'd rather talk than type.
