Jotting down notes in Markdown mode

 How do we insert words and style them to organize our notebook?

Here is the way:

1. Select Markdown from the drop-down list on the toolbar.
2. Type your notes in the gray box.
3. Click on the >| play button or press Shift + Enter to display the markdown.

Markdown notation provides a handy way to style without much manual clicking or galore of tags:

Style

Method

Headers: H1, H2, H3…

Start the line with a hash #, followed by a space, for example, # xxx, ## xxx, ### xxx.

Title

Two or more equal signs on the next line, same effect as H1.

Emphasis (italic)

*xxx* or _xxx_.

Strong emphasis (bold)

**xxx** or __xxx__.

Unordered list

Start each line with one of the markers: asterisk (*), minus (-), or plus (+). Then follow with a space, for example, * xxx.

Ordered list

Start each line with ordered numbers from 1, followed by a period (.) and a space.

Horizontal rule

Three underscores ___.
