In Fancy Mode, you also have a variety of text formatting options. This includes things like:
To access text formatting, you'll select the text you'd like to format, and a tooltip will pop-up with the available options.
The available email-safe font options are:
Emojis are fully supported in the editor.
Not sure which emoji to use? Simply type a colon (":") followed by a word describing the emoji (e.g., "happy") to see some suggestions.
Shortcut: You can add a block quote by typing > followed by a space.
Text inside a pull quote is italicized and centered, as opposed to a block quote.
Tables are a great way to display data in a structured format. Buttondown formats tables with a subtle border by default, but you can also remove that border if you're using a table for a design element to align items horizontally.
Use a poetry block if you want the text to maintain its spacing when it is published — useful, for example, for poetry. (Internally, we render poetry blocks as <pre> tags, which is why the spacing is preserved.)
Code blocks are automatically syntax highlighted based on the programming language.
Shortcut: type 3 backticks followed by the programming language and press enter (for example: ```python).
Adding a footnote will add 2 things in the editor:
Note: when you delete a footnote reference, the corresponding footnote will also be deleted.
Shortcut: add a footnote by typing [^text], "text" being any string sequence.
A LaTeX block allows you to write & render LaTeX content inside the editor. (Note that as of now, LaTeX is only renderable as a "block", and not inline with text.)
Shortcut: add a LaTeX block by typing your expression inside two dollar signs ($$) and pressing space/enter.
A divider is a horizontal line that sits between 2 pieces of content.
Shortcut: add a divider by typing 3 dashes or underscores & pressing space/enter.
