Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight way to format text using simple symbols — for example, wrapping a word in asterisks to make it bold or italic. It is widely used in blogs, note-taking apps, and documentation tools. See the Markdown Guide for a general introduction.

Kosshi supports a subset of Markdown. Markers are visible while editing and hidden when the cursor leaves the row.

Supported Formatting

Checkboxes

Type [ ] or [x] at the start of a row to create a checkbox. Click a checkbox or press Cmd+Enter to toggle it.

You can hide checked rows to show only remaining tasks.

Blockquotes

Prefix a row with > to create a blockquote.

Code Blocks

Wrap code with ``` to create a code block. Add a language name like ```python for syntax highlighting.

Inside code blocks, Tab inserts 4 spaces for indentation.

Shortcuts

Link Previews

When a row contains a URL, the page title is automatically fetched and displayed.

Markdown Symbol Visibility

Turn on "Always Show Markdown Symbols" in Settings to keep markers visible even when the cursor leaves the row.
