Notes
A note is a Markdown file ending in .md.
Write in the editor, and Accent saves your changes after a short pause.
Headings, lists, tables, task lists, footnotes and math work in notes.
For example, - [ ] Pack a notebook makes a task, while $x^2$ adds inline math.
Links and tags
Use [[Trip plan]] to link to another note, or [[Trip plan#Packing]] to link to its heading.
Add a label with [[Trip plan|our plan]].
If the note does not exist yet, following the link offers to create it.
Accent suggests notes as you type [[, and you can browse links back to the current note in Info.
Add #travel in the text to tag a note.
You can also put tags and alternative names in front matter at the top:
---
tags: [travel, ideas]
aliases: [Summer trip]
---
Search for an alias in Go to File, or pick a tag from the Info pane. See Search for both.
Paste an image or drop one into a note to copy it into the vault and insert an embed.
You can also write ![[map.png]] by hand.
Set the destination under Preferences → This Vault → Attachments Folder.
Templates
Put .md files directly in the vault’s Templates Folder, which is Templates/ by default.
When you create a note with New File, choose a template to fill it in.
Insert Template… puts any template at the caret of an open note.
You can use {{title}}, {{date}}, {{time}} and {{cursor}} in the template.
The first {{cursor}} sets the caret, and Tab moves through any later ones.
Give a template its own destination to use New from Template… (Ctrl+Shift+D):
---
accent-target: Daily/{{date:%Y-%m-%d}}.md
---
# {{date}}
{{cursor}}
Running this command again on the same day opens the existing note without changing it.
For a different day, {{date-1}} means yesterday, and {{date+1}} means tomorrow.
The accent-target line is only an instruction to Accent, so it does not appear in the new note.
Preview and export
Press Ctrl+M to show the rendered preview beside the editor, or return to the editor.
The preview follows your edits and lets you follow links and tags.
Use Print…, Export as PDF… or Export as HTML… from the menu when you want to share a note.
The HTML export includes local images, so it works as one file.
If merl-rt is installed, Accent can suggest the rest of a line as faint ghost text.
Press Tab to accept it, Ctrl+Right to take one word, or Esc to dismiss it.
Turn Ghost Text on or off under Preferences → Editor.
