Formatting Documents and Jots

Folio’s editor supports the formatting you’d expect from any modern document tool — headings, lists, quote blocks, code blocks, tables, hyperlinks, and more. There are three ways to apply formatting in a Document or Jot:

  • Slash commands — type / to open a menu of block and formatting commands.
  • Markdown shortcuts — type common markdown syntax (e.g., # for a heading, - for a bullet) and the editor converts it on the fly.
  • Keyboard shortcuts — see Use Keyboard Shortcuts for the full list.

Slash commands

Type / anywhere in the editor to open the slash command menu for blocks and formatting without leaving the keyboard.

Dismiss with Escape or by closing the menu without choosing an item. Type to filter (for example /he for headings).
