FAQs

Can I use HTML in notes?

No. HTML tags show up as plain text, so <b>bold</b> appears exactly as you typed it. Use the Markdown options above instead.

Can I strike through, highlight, or underline text?

No. Strikethrough (~~text~~) and highlighting (==text==) aren't supported and appear exactly as you typed them. Two underscores on each side (__text__) make text bold, not underlined.

Can I start a numbered list at something other than 1?

Say you enter notes like this:

5. Fifth bullet
6. Sixth bullet
7. Seventh bullet

Markdown will automatically renumber the list from 1 when Preceden displays it:

1. Fifth bullet
2. Sixth bullet
3. Seventh bullet

Place a backslash before each period, which keeps Markdown from reading the line as a list:

5\. Fifth bullet
6\. Sixth bullet
7\. Seventh bullet

Markdown will then correctly show it with numbers 5-7.
