Fylepad’s rich text editor is powered by TipTap, a modern headless editor built on ProseMirror. You can create formatted content using either visual controls or Markdown syntax.

​
Formatting options

​
Text styling

Apply basic text formatting with toolbar buttons or keyboard shortcuts:
  • Bold — Make text stand out with bold formatting
  • Italic — Emphasize text with italics
  • Underline — Add underlines to important text
  • Strikethrough — Mark deleted or outdated content
  • Highlight — Draw attention with background color
  • Superscript^2^ — Add superscript text
  • Subscript2 — Add subscript text
You can combine multiple formatting styles on the same text. For example, bold + italic + highlight.

​
Headings

Organize your notes with six levels of headings: 
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6

​
Lists

Create structured content with different list types: 
- First item
- Second item
  - Nested item
  - Another nested item
- Third item

​
Quotes and callouts

Add context with blockquotes: 
> This is a blockquote
> It can span multiple lines
Create hyperlinks to external resources or other tabs:

Fylepad supports tab linking. Type @ followed by a tab name to create links between your notes.
