Writing in the Editor

Writing in the Editor

This is where the writing happens!
Our editor allows live multi-editing and features a wide range of formatting to build documents without distraction.
To set who can write in the editor at the doc level, see:  ⁠⁠Document Permissions⁠ .


Main Features

Red Question MarkFAQ

Is there a markdown mode instead of a WYSIWYG editor?

We don't have a markdown mode but many of the markdown commands are supported directly in our editor. See  ⁠⁠Markdown Shortcuts⁠  for more information.

How do I copy text as Markdown?

To copy text as Markdown, select it and choose Copy as Markdown from the More menu.

How do I change font formatting?

We don't have alternate font faces or size — and this is by design. You can use our highlighter, colors, and other simple formatting options, as well as subscript, superscript, and header levels 1–4.

How do I link to another doc?

@mention the doc title to select it, or use the /link to doc command to search this way.
You can also just paste the Share link. And finally, the /doc card command will help you create a visual link, while /embed will display the whole doc if it's publicly shared.

How do I get colorful, graphical doc cards?

Just set  ⁠⁠Cover Images⁠  on your docs from the gallery, or upload your own.

How do I crop images in Slite?

When you upload an image directly to a Slite doc, it is possible to resize it, but not to crop it.
You can crop the image before adding it to Slite.

How do I annotate or mark up an image in Slite?

Yes, via our Excalidraw integration in the editor. We call it  ⁠⁠Sketch⁠ .
