Markdown Snippets

Markdown Snippets are closely related to <a class="reference-link" href="../Templates.md">Templates</a>, but instead of defining the content of an entire note, a snippet is a reusable piece of Markdown text that can easily be inserted into a <a class="reference-link" href="../../Note%20Types/Markdown.md">Markdown</a> note.

Creating a Markdown snippet

In the <a class="reference-link" href="../../Basic%20Concepts%20and%20Features/UI%20Elements/Note%20Tree.md">Note Tree</a>: 

  1. Right-click the note where you want to place the snippet.
  2. Select Insert child note.
  3. Select Markdown snippet.

Then simply type the desired content into the note.

The note's title becomes the title of the snippet. Optionally, you can add a description in the <a class="reference-link" href="../Attributes/Promoted%20Attributes.md">Promoted Attributes</a> section.

Inserting a snippet

To insert a snippet, type /snippet and select its title from the dropdown.

<a class="reference-link" href="Code%20Snippets.md">Code Snippets</a> with their language mode set to "Plain text" are also listed here.

Limitations

  • Unlike <a class="reference-link" href="../Templates.md">Templates</a>, snippets cannot be limited to a particular workspace.
