Add a Heading

In a desktop browser or the Mac app, turn a line into a heading in any of these ways:
  • Type / in the note and choose “Heading 1”, “Heading 2”, or “Heading 3”
  • At the start of a line, type # (Heading 1), ## (Heading 2), or ### (Heading 3), using # followed by a space
  • Press Cmd+Option+1 to 3 (Ctrl+Alt+1 to 3 on Windows or Linux). Press Cmd+Option+0 (Ctrl+Alt+0) to turn it back into text
In the iOS app or a mobile browser, while editing, tap + in the bar above the keyboard, then tap H1, H2, or H3. When text is selected, use the formatting button in the same bar. For other shortcuts, see Keyboard Shortcuts.

​
Insert a Line Break

In a desktop browser or the Mac app, Enter starts a new paragraph. To break the line within the same paragraph, press Shift+Enter.

​
Paste Markdown

In a desktop browser or the Mac app, pasting Markdown into a note imports formatting such as headings and lists. For combinations the note editor doesn’t support, the content stays in the note with these layout changes:
  • Lists, headings, code blocks, and tables inside a quote appear outside the quote, in their original order
  • Code blocks, tables, and similar blocks inside a list item appear after that item. The numbered list resumes with the next item’s number
  • Footnotes remain as literal Markdown text and aren’t converted into Inki citations
