# When to use

**Markdown** in Fractal makes it easy to format your content using familiar shortcuts. You can type simple markdown - like `#` for headers, `>` for blockquotes, or `[]` for checkboxes - and Fractal will automatically convert it as you go. Pasting markdown from other tools also works seamlessly, with bold, italics, lists, and more rendered into clean, structured bullets. And when you export, your notes come out in proper markdown too - perfect for moving content between apps without losing structure.

# Paste markdown

Pasting supported markdown will automatically convert those items into the Fractal format.

This includes things like bold, italic, headings, blockquotes and so on.

1. Paste your markdown into any item in Fractal, if it's supported it will automatically convert to its Fractal version

# Write in markdown

Markdown syntax is also supported when writing in Fractal.

This means you can type the standard markdown syntax for any of the following items and it'll automatically be formatted for Fractal.

- H1, H2, H3 - #, ##, ###
- Blockquotes - >
- Tasks - [], [ ]

# Export markdown

You can export anything you write in Fractal to markdown.

{% steps %}
