Blocks and the slash menu

A note in Mnemo is a stack of blocks: every line has a type, and structure appears when you ask for it, either through the slash menu or by typing markdown.

The slash menu

Type / at the start of a block and keep typing to filter. The search is forgiving about case and accents, and the English names work even if the app is set to another language.

The block types

Block	What it is for
Text	The default paragraph.
Heading 1 to 4	The skeleton of the note. Headings also feed the note's Index outline.
Bullet List	Unordered points.
Numbered List	Ordered points; the numbers renumber themselves when you move things.
To-do	A checklist item with a real checkbox.
Quote	Material in someone else's words, so your own stay distinct.
Callout	A tinted aside for something that should stand out.
Warning	The same aside in a cautioning tone.
Code	Monospaced, with a language picker that drives syntax highlighting. Opens set to C#.
Divider	A horizontal rule.
Two columns	Splits the row into two side-by-side stacks with a draggable divider.
Image	A picture with an optional caption. See Images in notes.
Table	A grid of rows and columns. See Tables.
Equation	A block of LaTeX math, rendered in place.
Page	Creates a nested note and links to it. The row shows that note's current title, so a rename never goes stale.

Markdown shortcuts

At the start of a text block, type the marker and a space:

Type	Get
# to ####	Heading 1 to 4
-, *, or +	Bullet list item
1. (any number)	Numbered list item
[]	To-do item
>	Quote
```	Code block
---	Divider

The list markers keep the rest of the line, so you can write the thought first and promote it to a bullet after. The others only fire on an otherwise empty line.
