Blocks

A wiki page is built out of blocks — a paragraph, a table, a picture, a gauge. Everything on the page is one, and you can restyle, reorder or delete any of them.

Inserting a block

Section titled “Inserting a block”

Two ways in:

  • Type / on an empty line. A menu opens; keep typing to filter it, then press Enter or click the one you want.
  • Use the ⋮⋮ drag handle. Hover to the left of any existing block and a + (Insert block) appears next to the grip — that opens the same menu without you having to clear the line first.

Every block

Two more live inline, in the middle of a sentence rather than on their own line:

  • : opens the emoji picker — type :drag and pick 🐉.
  • @ opens the mention menu.
