The heart of Outline is the document editor. We let you write in whichever way you prefer – be it Markdown, WYSIWYG, or taking advantage of the many keyboard shortcuts.
Markdown
If you’re comfortable writing markdown then all of the usual shortcuts are supported, for example type **bold** and hit space to instantly create bold text. If you forget some syntax or are after a refresher, simply type ? to access the keyboard shortcut help.
Tip: You can even paste markdown from elsewhere directly into a document.
Blocks
The editor supports a variety of content blocks including images, tables, lists, quotes, and more. You can also drag and drop images to include them in your document or paste a link to embed content from one of the many supported integrations
Tip: Headings are collapsible, just click the arrow to the left of any heading to temporarily hide the content below.
References
Linking to another document automatically creates backlinks which are kept up-to-date and shown at the bottom of the document, so you can create a library of linked information and easily answer the question "which other documents link here?".
