Slash Commands

Build a clear page without memorizing Markdown syntax. Type / to insert headings, checklists, tables, callouts, code blocks, and links while keeping your attention on the content.

Slash commands work in the web and Mac editors. Both support interactive tables; Mac adds native attachment pickers and a table size picker.

Place the cursor in the page body on a new line or after whitespace.
Type / to open the menu.
Type part of the command label to narrow the list.
Use the arrow keys to select a command.
Press Enter to insert, or Esc to close.

Try /heading, /quote, or /table. Matching ignores capitalization. Use the labels in the menu as your guide rather than assuming a short alias exists.

Commands in both editors

Command	What it adds	Useful for
Heading 1	A top-level heading	Main page sections.
Heading 2	A second-level heading	Supporting sections.
Heading 3	A third-level heading	Detailed subsections.
Bullet List	An unordered list	Ideas, observations, and references.
Numbered List	An ordered list	Instructions and sequences.
Task List	Markdown task items	A visible checklist.
Quote	A blockquote	Quoted material and excerpts.
Code Block	A fenced code block	Code, commands, and technical examples.
Divider	A horizontal rule	Separating sections.
Table	A Markdown table	Comparisons and structured information.
Wikilink	The beginning of a page link	Connecting relevant notes.
Callout Note	A note callout	Supporting information.
Callout Warning	A warning callout	A condition the reader should check.
Callout Tip	A tip callout	A helpful shortcut or recommendation.
Toggle	Toggle-style callout markup	Detail that can collapse in the Mac rendering.

On the web, Table inserts a starter table with interactive editing. The Mac command opens a size picker before insertion. Both keep Markdown as the underlying representation. Menu labels vary slightly: the web uses Bulleted list and Checklist where Mac uses Bullet List and Task List.

Additional Mac commands

Command	What it does
Text	Returns to a plain paragraph.
Callout Important	Inserts an important-information callout.
Callout Caution	Inserts a caution callout.
Callout Example	Inserts an example callout.
Attachment	Opens the general file picker.
Image	Opens an image picker.
Audio	Opens an audio picker.
Video	Opens a video picker.
PDF	Opens a PDF picker.

Selected files are stored in _assets/ and referenced from the current page. See Attachments & Files for formats and preview behavior.

Build a useful project note

Use a short sequence of blocks:

Add a heading for the goal.
Add a bullet list for constraints.
Add a Wikilink to the project brief.
Add a Task List for next actions.
Add a Callout Note for an unresolved question.

The result is easier to scan and easier for an agent to interpret than a long unstructured paragraph.

Work with interactive tables on Mac

Choose Table, then select the row and column count. Inside the table:

Tab moves to the next cell.
Shift+Tab moves to the previous cell.
Enter inserts a row below in the interactive table context.
The floating toolbar provides supported alignment, sorting, and row or column actions.

Understand what commands produce

Slash commands insert content or open an authoring control. A Task List is a checklist, not an external task-manager integration. A Code Block displays code, not a running program. An Attachment command stores a file; it does not automatically transcribe, OCR, or analyze its contents.

The inserted Markdown stays available to read and edit. Interactive presentation can differ between MindWiki clients and other Markdown applications.
