Markdown

Datalith edits Markdown files with a live preview and renders them with standard Markdown plus a couple of additions.

Core syntax

Section titled “Core syntax”
  • Headings: # to ######
  • Emphasis: *italic*, **bold**, ~~strikethrough~~
  • Links: [label](https://example.com) or [[https://example.com]], external links open in your browser
  • Images: ![alt](image.png)
  • Lists: ordered and unordered, with nesting
  • Code: inline `code` and fenced blocks with lang ```
  • Quotes: > blockquote
  • Rules: ---, ***, ___
Section titled “Links”

There are two kinds of links:

  • [[text]] — a wiki link to another file in the Vault, for example [[Welcome]] or [[formats/bases/Graph]].
  • [text](target) — a normal link; external links open in your browser.

Wiki links can add a label: [[Welcome|home]]. A name-only link resolves to the unique same-folder target; a path link is exact. Use Cmd/Ctrl+Enter on a link to jump.

Properties

Section titled “Properties”

A file may start with properties, written as YAML frontmatter:

---
category: format
---

Properties are used for data-driven views: the Graph View selects and colors nodes by them. See Properties for the details.
