Math is written in LaTeX. Use Inline math for something inside a sentence and Math formula for an equation on its own line.
E = mc^2
Mermaid diagrams
Mermaid turns text into a diagram, which means your diagrams live in the note as text and stay searchable and diffable.

Flowcharts, sequence diagrams, state diagrams, and the rest of Mermaid's syntax all work.
Exporting a note
Open the export menu in a note's toolbar to download it:
- Markdown (.md) — plain text, opens anywhere
- HTML (.html) — formatted, with styles included
Export works one note at a time, and does not include the note's attachments — download those individually from the note. There is no bulk "export everything" yet; it is on the roadmap.
