Syntax
References
(( — opens the reference picker. Pick any bullet to embed a live link to it. The popover also has a Create new node… action.
#word — inline tag. Word-boundary anchored, so a heading starting with # is not a tag.
Block-type shortcuts
Type the slash command followed by space at the start of a bullet to convert its type:
/task/decision/question/event/claim/evidence/note
Headings
Start a bullet with # , ## , or ### to render it as a heading.
Inline markdown
Standard **bold**, *italic*, and inline code with backticks.
