Markdown
Learn to use markdown in Fractal. Pasting markdown is also supported.
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.
- Paste your markdown into any item in Fractal, if it's supported it will automatically convert to its Fractal version
