Links

Wiki Links

OwnSpace supports [ [wiki-links] ] to connect notes:

[ [file-name] ]           — link to another note
[ [file-name|display] ]   — link with custom display text

Clicking a wiki-link opens the target note. Backlinks are automatically tracked — you can see which notes link to the current one.

Code Blocks

Use triple backticks for code blocks:

```javascript
function hello() {
  console.log("Hello, world!");
}
```

Tables

| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|----------|----------|
| Cell 1   | Cell 2   |
| Cell 3   | Cell 4   |

WYSIWYG Editor

Press Ctrl+E / Cmd+E to switch to the visual editor (TipTap). You can:

  • Use slash commands: type / to see available blocks
  • Drag blocks using the handle on the left
  • Format text with the floating toolbar

The WYSIWYG editor saves as Markdown — you can switch between modes freely.
