Start with the question you have. You do not have to read every page in order.
New to the format
- What is Markdown? — the marks, the file, and the rendered view.
- What are Markdown notes? — why people use the format for a lasting note library.
- Markdown syntax — examples you can copy into a note.
- Markdown versus rich text — where each format is useful.
Keep your work portable
- Markdown files —
.md, folders, links, and a test you can do yourself. - Images and attachments — the files beside the words.
- Exporting Markdown — a small restore drill before you need it.
- CommonMark and compatibility — what readers can reasonably expect to agree on.
Choose a workflow
- Markdown and iCloud — file sync and app-managed sync are different.
- Markdown notes on GitHub — repositories, history, and privacy limits.
- Local-first notes — local access, sync, and backups in plain language.
- Taking notes on iPhone and Mac — practical capture and editing choices.
- Markdown for AI workflows — readable source, careful sharing, and verification.
