Write markdown. Click away. Read it.

Click in and you get the raw markdown source, ready to edit. Click out and TreeNote renders it in place. There is no preview pane, no second document and nothing to keep in sync — the item is both the source and the formatted view.

It sits beside /code in the slash menu, under Basic blocks. The item stays where it is in the tree and keeps its children.

Enter adds a line inside the block instead of starting a new item, so a heading, the paragraph under it and its list all live in the same item. Pasting a whole document keeps it intact rather than exploding it into bullets, and the paste is one undo step.

The block renders: headings become headings, lists nest, quotes indent and fenced code sits in a code panel — with your bold, links and tags formatted the way they are everywhere else in the outline.

The rendered output swaps back to the markdown you wrote. Arrow keys move through its lines and only leave the block from the first and last one; Escape leaves the text for node selection.

The rendering happens on your device — offline, like the rest of TreeNote — and the output is sanitized before it is shown, so a pasted document cannot bring anything executable with it. The block is still an ordinary outline item: it moves, indents, collapses and mirrors like every other one.

Type /md on any item, write the markdown, and click away to read it back formatted.
