Markdown Syntax Guide

Learn the most common Markdown symbols and how to use them to format your text instantly.

Headers

# Header 1 ## Header 2 ### Header 3

Use hash symbols to create headings. More hashes equal smaller headings.

Emphasis

**Bold** text *Italic* text ~~Strikethrough~~

Wrap text in asterisks or tildes to emphasize words or strike them out.

Lists

- Item 1 - Item 2 - Sub-item

Use dashes, pluses, or asterisks for bulleted lists. Use numbers for ordered lists.

Links

[Click here](https://url.com)

Place the link text in brackets, followed by the URL in parentheses.

Images

![Alt Text](image.jpg)

Exactly like links, but preceded by an exclamation mark.

Blockquotes

> This is a quote.

Use a greater-than sign before your text to create a blockquote.

Code

`inline code` ``` Block of code ```

Use backticks for inline code, and triple backticks for code blocks.

Tables

| Col 1 | Col 2 | | ----- | ----- | | Row 1 | Row 1 |

Use pipes to separate columns and dashes to separate headers.

Horizontal Rules

---

Use three dashes on a new line to create a horizontal divider.

Answers to common questions about document privacy, formats, and exporting files.

Are my markdown files saved on your servers?

No. All editing, rendering, and parsing runs entirely inside your browser local memory sandbox. Absolutely zero document data is sent to CanvaTools servers.

Can I export my text as a PDF?

Yes. Simply click the "Print / Export PDF" button in the toolbar. It will open your browsers native print dialog, where you can select "Save as PDF" to preserve the exact beautiful layout.

Does it support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM)?

Yes, our engine is fully compatible with GitHub Flavored Markdown, meaning tables, checkboxes, strikethrough, and auto-linking are automatically supported.

How do I add a table?

You can refer to the Markdown Syntax Guide above! You simply use the pipe (|) character to separate columns, and dashes (-) to divide the header row from the body rows.
