Markdown syntax guide

Diary, daily report, and micro-report inputs support GitHub Flavored Markdown. The basics below are enough to get started. Once you are comfortable, you can also use tables, alerts, task lists, and diagrams. # / ## / ### correspond to the H1, H2, and H3 buttons in the editor.

Syntax that makes daily reports easier

These are handy for organizing reviews. The left side is the Markdown; the right side is the rendered result.

Write

| Type | Due | Source |
| :--- | :---: | ---: |
| Daily | Every day | Micro-reports |
| Weekly | Weekend | Daily reports |
| Monthly | Month end | Weekly reports |

Heading anchors and table of contents

Headings automatically become link targets, and a "## Table of Contents" heading generates a table of contents.

Write

## Table of Contents

## What I did today
Body text.

### Details

## What I will do tomorrow

How to use the editor

Three view modes

Switch between Edit / Preview / Split from the tabs at the top. Split is desktop only; on mobile you get Edit and Preview.

Two view modes

Switch between Edit / Preview from the tabs at the top. Split view is desktop only.

Insert from the toolbar

Headings, bold, lists, links, and emojis are all available as buttons. You do not need to memorize the syntax.

Character counter

A rough character count appears at the bottom. You can still save when you go over it (nothing gets truncated).
