Markdown Editor

Notes in TheBrain 13 are created using a next-generation markdown editor. This improved version of markdown enables more capabilities than standard editors for a superior editing experience. As mentioned, the visibility of markdown tags can be turned on/off with the Show Markdown button in the content area toolbar.

• Unlike other markdown editors, TheBrain enables direct rendering of formatting, images, and more without requiring a "preview" window.

• With the Show Markdown setting turned on, you’ll have text-based, inline code formatting: Ability to type text that converts into formatting, such as:

• • “[ ] “ (or “- “) to create a checkbox – “+ “ for a pre-checked checkbox

• • ** for bold

• • “* “ at the start of a line to create a bullet list

• • Block quotes using “>“

Spaces are now ignored while typing between two markdown tags. For example, typing a full sentence in between “**” and “**” will keep the text bold. Earlier versions of the markdown editor would remove formatting each time a space was added.

Toolbar-based formatting: Not familiar with markdown? A toolbar that works just like you're used to that will also help you learn the text equivalents.

Use the question mark icon link in the content area toolbar to TheBrain Markdown Reference Guide for more clarity on how you can utilize markdown by typing directly into the notes.
