Writing

Placing text

Pick the Text tool (the A in the palette) and click where you want to write, then type. Text appears in the page's ink color, right where it will land, and the box grows as you type and wraps at the page edge so nothing runs off the sheet.

• Edit existing text: with the Select tool, just click the text (or double-click, or select it and press Return).
• Finish: click away, or press Escape.

Fonts and sizes

When the Text tool is active or a text box is selected, a text bar appears with:

• Font: a live Ag preview of each option:
  • Hand-drawn (the default, an hand-drawn handwriting font),
  • Normal (system sans),
  • Serif, Rounded, and Mono.
• Size: a Word-style control: − [size ▾] +. The arrows step through common sizes, and the number is a menu of presets (8–96 pt). Changing it updates the text you're typing live.

Markdown

Text renders a friendly subset of Markdown, like a reading view:

Ordinary prose is never mangled: snake_case and a * b stay literal (only matched pairs format).

To edit the raw Markdown, double-click the text; it renders formatted again when you click away.

Code blocks

Write a fenced code block and it renders as a syntax-highlighted card, just like Obsidian:

```python
def greet(name):
    return f"hi {name}"   # 42
```

• Highlights Python, Swift, JavaScript/TypeScript, JSON, Bash, and a generic fallback.
• Works inside a larger note too: a code block below a paragraph in the same text box still renders as a card (the paragraph stays text, the code becomes a card).
• Renders in PDF export as well.
