Type the shorthand, then space or Enter. It works
anywhere in a line, including the first line of an empty note.
[!note]Note — neutral aside[!tip]Tip — helpful advice[!important]Important — don't miss this[!warning]Warning — proceed carefully[!caution]Caution — risk of harm
Type the marker on its own line and press Enter — a leading >
is optional, so [!warning] alone is enough. Inside a callout, > + space
nests another one (3 deep). Press Enter on an empty last line to step out, or
Ctrl+Enter from anywhere. The toolbar's callout button does the same and shows which
type you are in.

Any URL you type or paste becomes a link. Trailing ), ,
and . stay outside it.
Insert a table from the toolbar, then edit it in place.
Tab and Shift+Tab indent and outdent list items. Pasted or imported Markdown
tables and nested lists come through intact.
Everything above survives a round trip through Markdown,
including callouts, nested lists, highlights and embedded images. Two things do not:
table column alignment (|:--|--:|) and <https://…> autolinks,
which come back as ordinary links.
A single HTML file — no build step, no server, no tracking. Your notes stay in this
browser unless you back them up: Drive gets a Typewell folder of
plain .md files you can open in any editor, and the optional gist keeps one
exact .json copy.
Notes always live in this browser first. Drive gets a Typewell folder
holding one .md file per note — plain markdown you can read, edit or move with
anything. Scope is drive.file: Typewell sees only the files it created,
nothing else in your Drive — which also means a file you add to that folder by
hand stays invisible to it. Use Import for those. Deleting a note here moves the
file to Drive's trash, which Google empties after 30 days; Typewell's own trash keeps it
until you purge it. If a note is deleted on one side and edited on the other, the edit
wins and the note comes back.
GitHub Gist optional second source
A single typewell-backup.json in a secret gist —
an exact copy, unlike the markdown in Drive. Token needs only the
gist scope.
Stored in this browser only.
