The manual for a markdown editor with standards, grudges, and surprisingly good manners.
Real installation notes, real workflow docs, real feature coverage, real export guidance, and none of that fake docs-site perfume that explains a product you cannot actually use yet.
What is covered
7 core guides
Enough to get people moving without hiding the important bits in ten levels of menu sludge.
Voice
Clear over cute
If a feature already exists, the docs say how it works. If it does not, the docs do not cosplay certainty.
Best first move
Install, then poke everything
The app already has enough real surface area that the fastest way to understand it is to open a file and start clicking around.
Read when the work gets real
Start with the docs that unblock actual work
One useful lie we are not telling
This is not a fake polished docs shell wrapped around a half-built editor. The app already ships with hybrid editing, source mode, tables, Mermaid, math, themes, exports, workspace browsing, and a pretty large test suite.
Installation
Linux-first install paths, preview-platform notes, and the honest source-build route.
Getting Started
The hybrid model, source mode, first-run expectations, and the controls worth learning first.
Markdown Features
The real parser/editor coverage: tables, Mermaid, math, callouts, tasks, links, emoji, and mixed formatting.
Navigation & Tools
Find/replace, TOC jumping, workspace browsing, output log behavior, and other long-document survival gear.
Exports
Pandoc-backed outputs, Chromium PDF behavior, and the export settings that already exist in Preferences.
Themes
Theme JSON fields, live switching, import behavior, and how the wider Noteism palette system fits together.
Docs mood
The point is fewer dead ends, not more “developer relations” cologne.
These guides are being written around what the editor actually does: block-focused hybrid editing, a real source-mode fallback, structured table editing, diagram rendering, theme import, export plumbing, and the workspace tools people start caring about once a file quits being tiny.
