Notes

Notes in Flotes are written in plain Markdown. Some redundant syntax is repurposed to enable features such as fill-in-the-blanks and concealed sections when studying. This approach maintains compatibility with other Markdown-based tools and formats. Allowing notes to be freely imported, exported, or used outside of Flotes. It avoids vendor lock-in and ensures long-term portability.

Fill-in-the-Blanks

Markdown supports two ways to bold text: __double underscores__ and **double asterisks**. - Flotes repurposes the double underscore (__) to mark words or phrases as fill-in-the-blanks in the study view.

• Markdown written or imported into Flotes using (__) will display as fill-in-the-blank.
• When exported, these same sections will render as standard bold text for compatibility.

Concealed Sections

Markdown supports three ways to create horizontal rules: ___, ***, and ---.

Flotes uses triple underscores (___) to define concealed sections — blocks of content hidden during study. The other syntaxes (***, ---) remain unchanged and can still be used to create visual dividers if needed.
