Everything you write in Caliu is markdown, but you do not need to know markdown to use it. Type the syntax and the formatting appears in place, live, as you type. The symbols fade into styled text and the note stays plain markdown underneath, portable forever.
Headings
Start a line with #, ##, or ###:
# Big heading
## Section heading
### Small heading
Bold and italic
Wrap text in asterisks:
**bold text** and *italic text*
Lists
Start lines with - for bullets or 1. for numbers:
- First idea
- Second idea
1. Step one
2. Step two
Links
Use square brackets for the text and parentheses for the URL:
[Caliu](https://caliuapp.com)
And more
Quotes start with >, tasks with - [ ], and code lives between backticks. If you prefer buttons over syntax, the editor toolbar covers all of this too. See the Writing & Editor section for the full tour.
