My notes
Keep your own notes alongside Margin's, written like a page with headings, lists and maths.
My notes is where your own notes live: typed summaries, worked solutions you want to keep, or anything else you want next to Margin's notes. Open it from My notes in the sidebar.
Writing a note#
Choose New note (the + at the top of the list). A note is a page: type a title where it says Untitled, press Enter, and start writing underneath. What you see is the finished note; there is no separate preview.
Headings, lists, quotes, code and maths turn into blocks as you type:
| Type | To get |
|---|---|
# , ## , ### | A heading |
- or * | A bulleted list |
1. | A numbered list |
[] | A to-do list (click a box to tick it) |
> | A quote |
``` then Enter | A code block (add a language after the backticks, such as ```python) |
--- | A divider |
$x^2$ | Inline maths, rendered as soon as you type the closing $ |
$$ then Enter | An equation on its own line |
**bold**, *italic*, `code` | Bold, italic and inline code |
Type / anywhere for a menu of every block, including Equation, Inline equation and Chemical equation; keep typing to filter it and press Enter to choose.
Maths is LaTeX rendered with KaTeX, and chemistry works with \ce{…} (for example $\ce{2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O}$). Click any equation to edit its LaTeX with a live preview; press Enter when you are done, Shift Enter for a new line, or Esc to leave it unchanged.
Hover a block to see two handles on its left: + adds a block below and opens the / menu, and the grip moves the block when you drag it, or opens a menu to turn it into another kind of block, duplicate it or delete it.
Everything saves as you type; Saved appears briefly at the top right. Notes are listed newest first, with when each was last changed. Notes are stored as Markdown, so Copy as Markdown in the ⋯ menu gives you the whole note to paste elsewhere.
Linking to a topic#
Choose Link a topic under the title to attach your note to a Margin note, searchable by name. Once linked, the topic's title shows there instead; choose it to open the topic, link a different one, or remove the link.
Deleting a note#
Choose Delete in the ⋯ menu at the top right of a note. Choose Undo in the message that appears if you change your mind.
