Using the Page Editor

Dokyo's page editor is a block-based rich text editor. Type / to insert blocks like headings, lists, tables, code, and embeds, or use markdown shortcuts. Every block can be dragged, nested, and reordered.

The Dokyo editor is block-based: every paragraph, heading, list, image, or table is a block you can move, nest, and reformat. It supports both a slash command menu and familiar markdown shortcuts so you can write quickly without lifting your hands from the keyboard.

Slash commands

Type / anywhere to open the command menu, then search for a block type. Available blocks include:

Text & headings: paragraphs and three heading levels.
Lists: bulleted, numbered, and to-do checklists.
Tables: resizable rows and columns.
Code blocks: with syntax highlighting.
Embeds: videos, links, and other media.
Linked pages: reference other pages in your workspace.
Databases: embed a structured database inline.

Markdown shortcuts

Dokyo recognizes common markdown as you type:

#, ##, ### for headings
- or * for a bulleted list
1. for a numbered list
[] for a to-do checkbox
> for a quote
``` for a code block
**bold**, *italic*, and `code` for inline formatting

Moving and nesting blocks

Hover over the left edge of any block to reveal a drag handle. Drag to reorder blocks or nest them inside lists. Select text to bring up the formatting toolbar for bold, italic, links, and more.

Linking pages

Type @ to mention and link another page in your workspace. Linked pages keep your knowledge connected and make navigation fast.
