RemNote provides various text formatting options to structure your notes. This structure can help make your notes more functional and attractive and make it easier to re-orient yourself when returning to old notes.
Formatting within a Rem
To format within a Rem, select the text you want to edit using the mouse or keyboard. A toolbar will appear with formatting options.
The main toolbar includes:
Bold, Italics, and Underline — standard text formatting options, accessible directly from the toolbar.
Inline Code — wraps the selected text in a code-style format, useful for technical content.
Highlight / Text Color — click the color button (A with a colored dot) in the toolbar to change the color of the selected text.
LaTeX — click the Σ button in the toolbar to insert an inline math equation. See Writing Equations with LaTeX for details.
Links — add a hyperlink to the selected text.
Additional formatting options are available under the … menu:
Superscript and Subscript — useful for footnotes, exponents, and chemical formulas. See Adding Superscripts and Subscripts for more details.
Strikethrough — draws a line through the selected text, handy for marking completed items or outdated information.
Reference — converts the selected text into a Rem Reference.
Tag — converts the selected text into a Tag (you can also type
##while writing).
Each option also has keyboard shortcuts for quick editing. You can see the shortcut by hovering over the relevant button in the toolbar. For a full list, see Keyboard Shortcuts.
Changing the Rem Type
You can change how a Rem is displayed by clicking the Plain Text dropdown at the left side of the toolbar.
This opens the "Turn Into" menu, where you can convert the current Rem into:
Heading 1, 2, or 3 (and more heading levels via "More Headings")
Numbered List item. Rems can also be toggled between displaying a bullet point or a number with
/list itemor Ctrl+Alt+L shortcut (Cmd+Opt+L on a Mac)Todo List item
Quote block
You can also access these options from the keyboard by typing / followed by the format name (for example, /h1 or /todo), or by using keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+Alt+1 (Cmd+Opt+1 on a Mac) for Heading 1.
Formatting an entire Rem
Some formatting options apply to whole Rems, rather than specific text with in it: headings and whole-Rem background highlights. To select these, click the Six-Dot Rem-Grabber and select the appropriate Heading or Highlight option from the menu.
You can also select these formatting options from the keyboard by typing / anywhere in the Rem. For example, you can add a green highlight by typing /green.
Hiding bullet points
The bullet point to the left of a Rem can also be hidden entirely to display your document in a more traditional bullet-less style. To hide the bullet, use /no bullet. See Hiding Bullets for more details.
