Comments
You can add markdown code comments that won't be rendered on your note like this:
[//]: # (This may be the most platform independent comment)
Table of contents
When you include [TOC] in these formats, we’ll generate a rendered TOC, making navigation smoother on any markdown-compatible platform.
Additional considerations
- Newlines are supported (Markdown doesn't by default).
- If you add a link URL we automatically auto-link to it. No need to wrap in the text syntax.
- Images uploaded are downsized automatically.
- We escape any HTML on the Markdown note. This is to avoid things like XSS.
