Text, headings & lists

These are the blocks you’ll use for nearly everything — the prose, the section headings, the list of things the party still hasn’t done.

The blocks

Section titled “The blocks”
Block What you get
Text A plain paragraph. What you get every time you press Enter.
Heading 1 Top-level heading — a major part of the page.
Heading 2 Key section heading.
Heading 3 Subsection heading.
Bullet List An unordered list. Press Tab to nest an item, Shift+Tab to pull it back out.
Numbered List The same, numbered.
To-do list A list with a checkbox on each item. Click a box to tick it off — readers can too. Nests like the other lists.
Blockquote An indented passage set apart from the body. Good for read-aloud boxed text or an in-world quotation.
Code Block A monospaced block that doesn’t get auto-formatted — handy for raw notation or anything you want left exactly as typed.
Separator A horizontal line across the page.

Typing shortcuts

Section titled “Typing shortcuts”

You mostly don’t need the slash menu. Start a line with any of these and the block changes as you type:

Type this Get this
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
- or * Bullet list
1. Numbered list
> Blockquote
``` Code block
--- Separator

Typing shortcuts only fire at the start of a line. If you’ve already written the paragraph, use Turn Into instead.

Turn Into

Section titled “Turn Into”

Any of these blocks can become any of the others without retyping.

  1. Put your cursor in the block (or select several).
  2. Hover to the left and click the ⋮⋮ drag handle.
  3. Open Turn Into and pick the new kind of block.

The submenu offers Text, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3, Bullet List, Numbered List, To-do list, Blockquote and Code Block. The one you’re currently in is shown as active.

If a block has picked up formatting you want gone, the same menu has Reset formatting, which strips it back to plain.
